Consumer Description

FOR THE PAST TWO YEARS I HAVE HAD TROUBLE WITH MY 2005 FORD FREESTYLE SURGING WHILE IN DRIVE OR REVERSE AT SLOW SPEEDS. AGAIN YESTERDAY THIS HAPPENED WHILE IN A PARKING LOT AS I WAS PULLING INTO THE PARKING SPACE. THIS IS TYPICAL OF WHEN THE CAR LURCHES/SURGES FORWARD. HOWEVER, YESTERDAY THE CAR ALSO WENT INTO "FAIL SAFE ENGINE MODE". I HAVE BEEN COMPLAINING TO MY DEALERSHIP ABOUT THIS INCIDENT SINCE PRIOR TO THE STANDARD WARRANTY EXPIRING ON THE CAR. I HAVE ALSO FILED A COMPLAINT DIRECTLY WITH FORD MOTOR COMPANY. SINCE THE CAR DOES NOT 'THROW ANY CODES' WHEN THIS OCCURS THERE HAS NEVER BEEN ANY ACTION TAKEN TO RESOLVE THE ISSUE ALTHOUGH I CONTINUE TO NOTIFY MY DEALERSHIP EVERYTIME THE CAR IS IN FOR SCHEDULED MAINTENANCE, REPAIR, ETC. IT APPEARS THE PROBLEM IS WITH THE THROTTLE BODY/THROTTLE BODY CONTROL. *TR
