Consumer Description

MY 2005 FORD FREESTYLE SEL FWD HAS SUDDEN ACCELERATION PROBLEMS IN BOTH FORWARD AND REVERSE. THIS ISSUE HAPPENS MORE FREQUENTLY AND IS WORSE IN THE WARMER MONTHS. THIS ISSUE HAS BEEN GOING ON FOR THE PAST 4 YEARS WITH MY VEHICLE. THE SUDDEN ACCELERATION CAUSED MY FREESTYLE TO SHUT DOWN AND GO INTO ENGINE FAILSAFE MODE THE LAST TIME. THE ACCELERATION ISSUE OCCURS MULTIPLE TIMES A DAY. THE DEALER SAYS THAT SINCE THERE IS NOT A RECALL ON THE VEHICLE THERE IS NOTHING THAT THEY CAN DO THAT WON'T COME OUT OF MY POCKET. I AM WORRIED THAT THE CAR WILL ONE DAY LUNGE FORWARD OR BACKWARDS INTO ANOTHER VEHICLE OR A PERSON WALKING AROUND THE CAR. FORD NEEDS TO BE FORCED TO ISSUE A RECALL AND CORRECT THIS PROBLEM BEFORE SOMEONE IS GRAVELY INJURED. *KB
