NHTSA Complaint #10416858 — 2006 FORD FREESTYLE

I HAVE A 2006 FORD FREESTYLE. IT HAS BEGUN TAKING OFF WHILE BACKING OUT OF MY DRIVEWAY AND LURCHING FORWARD WITHOUT PRESSING THE ACCELERATOR. THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE OF HIGHEST URGENCY. UPON RESEARCH ON THE WEB, I SEE NUMEROUS RECENT COMPLAINTS ABOUT THIS VERY SAME ISSUE FOR THIS PARTICULAR STYLE, MAKE & YEAR. THERE IS EVEN A FACEBOOK PAGE REQUESTING THROTTLE BODY RECALL ON FORD FREESTYLES, WITH 214 LIKES TO DATE. I HAVE 2 CHILDREN AGES 7 & 5. I FEAR FOR THE SAFETY OF MY OWN CHILDREN AND OTHERS AROUND AS THIS IS THE "FAMILY" CAR & USED FOR SCHOOL AND ACTIVITY PICK UPS AND DROP OFFS. THESE SURGES OCCUR AT STOP LIGHTS, PARKING, AND EASING OUT OF PARKING. ALL OF THESE TIMES HAVE THE PROPENSITY TO CAUSE MAJOR ACCIDENTS. IF IT DOES CAUSE AN ACCIDENT, I WILL HAVE MY LAWYERS CONTACT FORD. THIS IS A WELL DOCUMENTED ISSUE. I AM ASSUMING AS A REPUTABLE CAR MAKER- FORD NEEDS TO BE MADE AWARE OF SUCH ISSUE IN ORDER TO ISSUE RECALL TO CORRECT. I HOPE THIS COMPLAINT SPEEDS UP THE PROCESS. *KB
