Consumer Description

I OWN A 2005 FORD FREESTYLE SEL. I AM EXPERIENCING ENGINE SURGES (SUDDEN ACCELERATION) ON A DAILY BASIS. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO A FORD DEALER WHERE THEY DIDN'T FIND ANY PROBLEMS AND BLAMED IT ON ENGINE LOAD FROM THE AC SYSTEMS. WHILE I HAVE NOT HAD ANY ACCIDENTS YET I HAVE ON SEVERAL OCCASIONS BEEN FORCED TO STAND ON THE BRAKE TO AVOID HITTING OTHER VEHICLES AND IN ONE CASE A PEDESTRIAN. FORD WON'T DO ANYTHING BECAUSE THEY SAY THAT THEY CAN'T FIND ANYTHING WRONG AND THERE ARE NOT RECALLS. *KB
