Consumer Description

MY 2006 FORD FREESTYLE HAS HAD AN INCREASING NUMBER OF INCIDENCES WHERE THE CAR HAS JUST COME OUT OF PARK AND INTO FORWARD OR REVERSE, WHERE ALL OF A SUDDEN THE THROTTLE WILL SURGE EVEN WHEN APPLYING THE BRAKE. WHEN IT IS HOT OUT, IT IS NOW OCCURRING SEVERAL TIMES A WEEK. YESTERDAY IT DID THE SAME THING AND THEN STALLED COMPLETELY. WHEN I TURNED THE CAR BACK ON, THE 'WRENCH' LIGHT WAS ON AND THE CAR LOST ALL ITS POWER. THEN I DISCONNECTED THE BATTERY AND EVERYTHING WAS BACK TO NORMAL. I CHECKED THE PROBLEM ONLINE AND IT SEEMS TO BE A VERY PREVALENT AND EXTREMELY DANGEROUS SITUATION FOR THIS CAR. THE DEALERS ARE UNABLE TO REPAIR IT AT THIS TIME BECAUSE THE PROBLEMS ARE HAPPENING SO OFTEN THAT THE NEEDED PARTS ARE ON BACK-ORDER. I AM FORCED TO DRIVE THE CAR UNTIL THE PARTS BECOME AVAILABLE, CONSTANTLY FEARING THAT IT WILL CAUSE AN ACCIDENT. *TR
