Consumer Description

2005 FORD FREESTYLE SURGES AND LUNGES FORWARD WHILE FOOT IS BRAKE. SITTING AT A RED LIGHT WITH MY FOOT ON THE BRAKES THE RPMS SURGE AND THE CAR STARTS LUNGING FORWARD PULLING ME OUT INTO THE INTERSECTION. THE CAR THEN SHUTDOWN FOR A SECOND AND WENT INTO LIMP HOME MODE. LUCKILY I WAS ABLE TO PUT THE CAR IN REVERSE AND BACKUP BEFORE I WAS HIT BY THE ONCOMING TRAFFIC. TOOK THE CAR TO THE DEALER AND WAS TOLD THE THROTTLE BODY ASSEMBLY WOULD HAVE TO BE REPLACED BUT THE PART WAS ON A 3 MONTH BACK ORDER. DEALER WOULD NOT ADVISE ME THE CAR WAS SAFE TO DRIVE! *TR
