Consumer Description

2005 FORD FREESTYLE HAS BEEN SURGING AND LURCHING WITHOUT DEPRESSING GAS PEDAL. WHILE STOPPED BUT IN EITHER DRIVE OR REVERSE, ONCE FOOT IS REMOVED FROM BRAKE PEDAL, THE CAR SUDDENLY ACCELERATES WITHOUT WARNING. THE LAST TIME IT HAPPENED, THE WRENCH LIGHT AND THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON AND IT WENT INTO FAILSAFE MODE. TOOK IT TO THE DEALER AND IT IS THE THROTTLE BODY. THE PART WON'T BE IN STOCK UNTIL AUGUST AND THE DEALER IS RECOMMENDING THE VEHICLE NOT BE DRIVEN UNTIL THE THROTTLE BODY IS REPLACED. THIS IS A VERY UNSAFE CONDITION AND COULD HAVE RESULTED IN A SERIOUS ACCIDENT HAD A PEDESTRIAN BEEN IN FRONT OF OR BEHIND MY CAR WHEN IT ACCELERATED WITHOUT WARNING AND WITHOUT THE GAS PEDAL BEING PUSHED. *TR
