NHTSA Complaint #10345347 — 2006 FORD FREESTYLE

I HAVE A 2006 FORD FREESTYLE. FOR MOST OF THE TIME I'VE OWNED THIS CAR IT ACTS UP WHEN IT IS HOT. IT ACCELERATES ON ITS OWN WHEN TRAVELING AT LOW SPEEDS (MAINLY PARKING LOTS AND DRIVEWAYS). IT IS VERY DANGEROUS AS A PEDESTRIAN COULD BE HIT. SEVERAL TIMES IT HAS EVEN STALLED AFTER ONE OF THESE INCIDENTS. I TOOK IT TO MY LOCAL FORD DEALER SEVERAL TIMES OVER THE PAST 2 -3 YRS. AND THEY "COULDN'T FIND THE PROBLEM". WELL TODAY THE "WRENCH' LIGHT CAME ON AND THE CAR HAD VERY LITTLE POWER AFTER AN ACCELERATING INCIDENT, SO I PULLED INTO THE DEALER LOT. TODAY THEY TOLD ME IT THE THROTTLE BODY AND IT COSTS $800 FOR THE REPAIR BUT WILL TAKE 3 WEEKS TO GET THE PART. SO I HAVE NO CAR TO DRIVE FOR 3 WEEKS. I FEEL THAT THEY KNEW WHAT THE PROBLEM WAS ALL ALONG, AND I'VE BEEN DRIVING A POTENTIALLY DANGEROUS VEHICLE FOR 4 YEARS. THIS NEEDS TO BE A RECALL! *TR
