Consumer Description

I WAS BACKING OUT OF A PARKING PLACE WHEN MY FREESTYLE LUNGED BACKWARD, NARROWLY MISSING PEOPLE WALKING. THE RED 'WRENCH' LIGHT CAME ON INDICATING THERE WAS AN ENGINE PROBLEM. THE MOTOR RAN VERY ROUGH BUT WE DID GET TO OUR DESTINATION. I REMEMBER READING AN ARTICLE REGARDING THIS ISSUE WITH THE FREESTYLE, LUNGING FORWARD OR BACKWARD. I RESEARCHED THIS AND CONCLUDED MANY OTHER FREESTYLE OWNERS HAVE HAD THE SAME PROBLEM. WE DID HAVE THIS PROBLEM CORRECTED AT A HEFTY PRICE OF $700.00. HOPEFULLY, THE FORD MOTOR COMPANY WILL RECALL THESE FREESTYLES BEFORE A FATAL ACCIDENT OCCURS.
