Consumer Description

MY 2005 FORD FREESTYLE HAS BEEN HAVING PROBLEMS WITH SURGING FORWARD ESPECIALLY WHEN MOVING SLOWLY BACK AND FORTH INTO A PARKING SPOT. SOMETIMES RIGHT AFTER THE IDLE SURGES, THE IDLE WILL ALSO SUDDENLY DROP, AND NOW AT TIMES IT EVEN STALLS. THE SURGE CAUSES THE CAR TO ACCELERATE AND I'M FORCED TO MODULATE THE BRAKES TO AVOID UNEXPECTED MOVEMENT OF THE CAR. IT USUALLY HAPPENS WHEN CONDITIONS ARE WARM, THE CAR IS WARM, AND THE AC IS ON. I HAVE TAKEN THIS CAR TO FORD IN THE PAST, AND THEY HAVE NOT BEEN ABLE TO CORRECT IT. I AM TAKING IT IN AGAIN AS THE STALLING PROBLEM HAS BECOME MORE PRONOUNCED. WHEN I GOOGLED FOR PROBLEMS WITH FORD FREESTYLES DOING THIS, I FOUND OTHERS HAVE REGISTERED COMPLAINTS EXACTLY THE SAME AS MINE. *TR
