Consumer Description

I EXPERIENCED A SUDDEN AND UNEXPECTED SURGING OR ACCELERATION OF MY 2006 FORD FREESTYLE ON SEVERAL OCCASIONS BACK IN DECEMBER 2007. THE CAR HAD OTHER ENGINE PROBLEMS AND THE ENTIRE ENGINE WAS REPLACED IN MAY OF 2008. HOWEVER, OVER THE LAST MONTH I HAVE EXPERIENCED CONTINUING SUDDEN SURGING PROBLEMS AND AT A GAS STATION RECENTLY, I NEARLY REAR ENDED THE CAR IN FRONT OF ME DUE TO THE SURGING. IT HAPPENS MOST OFTEN WHEN IT STARTS UP OR WHEN IT IS IDLING AND THEN I START TO GO AND THE ACCELERATOR SURGES. THIS COULD BE EXTREMELY DANGEROUS, ESPECIALLY IF A PERSON WAS NEAR MY CAR WHEN IT SURGES UNEXPECTEDLY. FORD CANNOT SEEM TO FIX THE PROBLEM. THE SURGING IS NOW HAPPENING DAILY. *TR
