Consumer Description

2007 FORD FREESTYLE WITH 66K MILES, PURCHASED AT 50K MILES. FROM BEGINNING THE CAR WOULD OFTEN LURCH HARD FORWARD OR BACKWARD WHEN PUTTING INTO GEAR. MY WIFE AND I LEARNED TO FIRMLY HOLD THE BRAKE WHEN MOVING THE CAR. THE CONDITION HAS GOTTEN WORSE AND TODAY THE "WRENCH" LIGHT CAME ON AND THE CAR WOULD NOT ACCELERATE ABOVE 40 MPH. AFTER SEARCHING FORD FREESTYLE FORUM, I DISCOVER THIS IS A WELL KNOWN CONDITION TO FORD AND FORD FREESTYLE CUSTOMERS. FORD HAS NOT TAKEN RESPONSIBILITY EVEN THOUGH IT'S A SERIOUS SAFETY ISSUE. MOST CUSTOMERS REPORT A BAD THROTTLE BODY WHICH FORD COULD NOT PROVIDE (MOST OF 2009). THIS CERTAINLY QUALIFIES FOR A RECALL. WE LIKE THE VEHICLE BUT LOOKS LIKE IT'S TIME TO GET RID OF IT. SHAME ON FORD! *TR
