NHTSA Complaint #10416492 — 2006 FORD FREESTYLE

2006 FORD FREESTYLE LUNGING STARTED ABOUT 2 MONTHS AGO. IT HAPPENS OFTEN, THOUGHT IT WAS JUST WHEN I RAN THE AIR CONDITIONER BUT IT IS HAPPENING ALL THE TIME NOW. IT WILL HAPPEN WHEN THE CAR IS GOING FORWARD AND IN REVERSE AND SOMETIMES IT WILL DIE ON ME. I'VE ALREADY HEARD OF THIS PROBLEM BEING RESPONSIBLE FOR 1 INJURY AND I'M AFRAID IT COULD CONTINUE TO HAPPEN TO OTHER FREESTYLE OWNERS INCLUDING MYSELF. I SHOULD NOT HAVE TO PAY FOR THIS PROBLEM. FORD NEEDS TO OWN UP TO THE FACT THAT THIS IS THEIR FAULT AND RECALL ALL FREESTYLES MADE WITHIN 2006-2007. AS I AM RESEARCHING THIS PROBLEM WITH THE FREESTYLE I AM BECOMING AWARE THAT FORD HAS KNOWN ABOUT THIS ISSUE FOR SOME TIME NOW AND HAVE NOT DONE ANYTHING ABOUT IT. IF THIS IS HOW THEY ARE GOING TO MAKE VEHICLES AND TREAT THEIR CUSTOMERS THEN I CAN ASSURE YOU THAT MOST OF THEIR COSTUMERS WILL CHOOSE TO GO ELSEWHERE WITH THEIR BUSINESS, INCLUDING MYSELF! THEY NEED TO RECALL THIS MODEL AND FIX IT!!!! I AM AT 65,000 MILE'S AND THIS IS UNACCEPTABLE TO ME AND EVERY OTHER OWNER OUT THERE.!!! PLEASE DO SOMETHING ABOUT THIS MESS. *KB
