Consumer Description

2005 FORD FREESTYLE UNEXPECTED SURGE AT STOPLIGHT, CONTROLLED BY APPLYING BRAKES HARDER, AND THENVECHICLE STALLED. THE EVENT WOULD HAVE FORCESD US INTO THE INTERSECTION, POSSIBILEY CAUSING BODY AND PROPERTY DAMAGE. THIS OCCURANCE ALSO HAPPENED 1 WEEK PRIOR AS WE WERE PULLING INTO A PARKING SPACE. BOTH OCCURENCES HAPPENED AFTER THE IGNITION WAS TURNED OFF FOR 15-30 MINUTES AND THEN RESTARTED. THIS OCCURANCE HAS HAPPENED AT LEAT 5 OTHER TIMES. ON SOME OF THE OCCURENCES THE ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON AND THE ENGINE WENT TO SAFE MODE OPERATION. SAFE MODE OPERATION WOULD CEASE IF THE IGNITION WAS TURNED OFF AND THE VECHICLE WAS ALLOWED TO SIT FOR A TIME. FIRST AND SECOND OCCURANCE HAPPENED AFTER USING AN 10% ETANAHOL MIX FROM ONE PARTICULAR COMPANY. THE MOST RECENT OCCURANCES HAPPENED WITH A 10%ETANOL MIX FROM TWO DIFFERENT SUPPLIERS.. FUEL SYSTEM AND AIR FILTER CLEANED PRIOR TO THE LAST TWO EVNTS. *TT
