NHTSA Complaint #10359135 — 2006 FORD FREESTYLE

MY FORD FREESTYLE SUDDENLY ACCELERATES WITHOUT PRESSING ON THE GAS. IT HAPPENS MOST OFTEN WHEN WE ARE STOPPED AND I LIFT MY FOOT OFF OF THE BRAKE, IT WILL SUDDENLY LUNGE FORWARD. IT WILL ALSO HAPPEN AT LOW SPEEDS, SUCH AS PULLING INTO OR OUT OF A PARKING SPOT. IT ALSO HAPPENS AT STOP SIGNS, DRIVE THRUS AND IN TRAFFIC. IT HAPPENS DURING EVERY DRIVE NOW, SOMETIMES NUMEROUS TIMES. I HAVE ALMOST HIT OTHER CARS AND TWICE HAVE ALMOST RUN OVER A PEDESTRIAN. THE PART THAT IS SUPPOSED TO FIX THIS PROBLEM SEEMS TO BE UNAVAILABLE. I HAVE THREE CHILDREN, THE OLDEST IS ONLY 5 AND I HAVE VERY REAL SAFETY CONCERNS FOR MY FAMILY AND OTHERS AROUND MY CAR. *TR
