Consumer Description

MY 2005 FORD FREESTYLE "SURGES" WHEN THE ENGINE IS RUNNING BUT MY CAR IS NOT MOVING. I HAVE TO KEEP MY FOOT ON THE BRAKE WHEN STARTING UP THE CAR FOR FEAR IT WILL LUNGE FORWARD, OR BACKWARD, WITHOUT ANY PRESSURE PUT ON THE GAS PEDAL. I AM AFRAID TO LET ANYONE DRIVE THE CAR, EVEN WITH ME TELLING THE PERSON ABOUT THE SURGES, SINCE IT IS NOT WHAT YOU WOULD NORMALLY BE THINKING ABOUT WHEN STARTING A CAR AND PUTTING IT INTO GEAR. I AM CONCERNED ABOUT THE SAFETY OF THIS SITUATION. I HAVE NOT TAKEN THE CAR TO THE DEALERSHIP YET SINCE I DON'T KNOW WHAT THE CHARGE WILL BE FOR REPAIR. THE SURGING HAS OCCURRED AT LEAST 10 TIMES OVER THE LAST 2 MONTHS. EACH TIME I THINK IT IS JUST A ONE TIME THING, BUT NOW I KNOW IT IS NOT. *KB
