NHTSA complaint #10410292, filed 2011-07, 75,019 miles“Throttle body system problem. Car lunging at low speeds and when the driver is not pressing the acceleration pedal; sudden and unexpected. More apparent when the vehicle's air conditioning system is on or when the steering wheel is turned sharply. Past loyal Ford customer. This was a brand new purchase. Problem started again after the hydraulic control unit was replaced in 2008. I have had all I can take; visited dealership today (3-02-212)! Please Ford correct this for the sake of your customers.”
NHTSA complaint #10450128, filed 2012-03, 39,000 miles“First: I drive a 2007 Ford Freestyle . Vin # 1 second: I have had a problem with car surging forward after only a few months of ownership. Took the car into local Ford dealer to tell them the problem in 08 and they couldn't get the problem to occur while driving. Took it back in 09 again with same problem happening a little stronger forward...strong surge from reverse to drive as well as just starting off from stop sign or red light. Both of these visits were while my car was in warranty!!!!! …”
NHTSA complaint #10345242, filed 2010-07, 27,000 miles“Car accelerating when AC in on and after AC has been of after that 1 day use. Ac not working property. Sensor issues. Electrical issues, example window no longer rolls down. Taken it to different mechanics but they can't find the problem. Know it's turning off all in a sudden and having issues with the car brakes to kick in. Had that check but they said everything is good, brakes and etc.... Have already put around $5,000 and still not getting it to work safely. Also stearing wheel gets stuck as if you can't turn the wheels on the car and then turns of after seconds.”
