Consumer Description

PURCHASED A USED 2006 FORD FREESTYLE IN JULY OF 2010. A FEW WEEKS AFTER WE BOUGHT IT THE CAR STARTED LURCHING FORWARD AND BACKWARD WHEN BRAKES WERE APPLIED. IT IS REALLY BAD WHEN THE AC IS RUNNING. AT FIRST I THOUGHT MY WIFE WAS CRAZY BUT THEN IT STARTED TO GET REALLY BAD AND I NOTICED THAT WHEN BACKING OUT OF THE GARAGE, AFTER PUTTING IT IN REVERSE AND LETTING OFF THE GAS, THAT THE CAR WOULD JUST PROPEL ITSELF BACKWARDS. TOOK THE CAR INTO THE DEALER TODAY AND WAS QUOTED $850 TO FIX THE THROTTLE BODY WHICH IS WHAT THEY ARE SAYING IS CAUSING THE PROBLEM. AFTER READING ABOUT ALL OF THE OTHER PEOPLE HAVING THE SAME PROBLEMS WITH THIS PARTICULAR VEHICLE I WAS STUNNED TO FIND OUT THAT FORD HAS NOT ISSUED A RECALL ON THIS. THIS IS DEFINITELY A SAFETY ISSUE. IF MYSELF OR MY WIFE WERE TO GET IN AN ACCIDENT DUE TO THIS FAULT YOU COULD BET YOUR BOTTOM DOLLAR I WOULD FILE A LAWSUIT AGAINST FORD. *KB
