NHTSA Complaint #10348462 — 2005 FORD FREESTYLE

WHILE THE CAR IS IN IDLE OR NO ACCELERATION MADE, AT A STOP OR IN REVERSE, MY CAR WILL SURGE, EVEN WITH THE BRAKE ON. I CHECKED WITH THE BETTER BUSINESS BUREAU, AND ALSO WITH FORD.COM. THEY SUGGESTED I SCHEDULE A CHECK UP, WHICH I DID. I WENT TO THE DEALER REPAIR SERVICE AND THEY WERE UNSURE OF WHAT TO DO. ONE MECHANIC SUGGESTED A THROTTLE BODY REPLACEMENT WHICH IS 700 DOLLARS, BUT SAID HE'S UNSURE OF HOW TO PROCEED. THIS SEEMS TO ME LIKE A SAFETY ISSUE THAT SHOULD CONSTITUTE INVESTIGATION BY NHTSA. ESPECIALLY CONSIDERING WHAT HAPPENED WITH THE TOYOTA. I SEARCHED ONLINE AND FOUND THOUSANDS OF INQUIRIES BY CONSUMERS. SOME OF WHICH REAR-ENDED VEHICLES. WHEN WILL NHTSA TAKE ACTION? *TR
