Consumer Description

MY 2005 FREESTYLE IS MAKING LOUD RATTLING SOUND (COMING FROM TRANS) AND THE FAILSAFE MODE INDICATOR AS WELL AS THE YELLOW WRENCH HAVE BEEN APPEARING. I HAVE HAD IT IN THE SERVICE DEPT OF DEALERSHIP MANY TIMES FOR SURGING AND POWER FAILURES, ETC, AND THEY HAVE MADE NUMEROUS REPAIRS - (INCLUDING THE AC COMPRESSOR) AND REPLACED A HEAD GASKET (WHICH IS LEAKING BADLY NOW?), AND IT APPEARS THIS TIME IT MAY BE A THROTTLE BODY PROBLEM? THE DEALER WON'T LOOK AT IT TILL NEXT WEEK AND WANTS $200 TO CHECK IT OUT? PEOPLE WAITING IN LINE (AT THE SERVICE DEPT) TODAY TOLD ME THEY HAD THE EXACT SAME PROBLEMS (WITH FREESTYLES). THERE SHOULD BE A RECALL IF SO MANY PEOPLE ARE COMPLAINING.
