Consumer Description

WE HAVE A 2006 FORD FREESTYLE. IT HAS BEEN LUNGING FORWARD WHILE IN DRIVE AND REVERSE EVEN WHEN YOUR FOOT IS ON THE BRAKE. IT HAPPENS RANDOMLY BUT SEEMS TO BE WORSE WHEN YOU TURN THE STEERING WHEEL WHILE YOU ARE STOPPED WITH THE CAR IN REVERSE OR DRIVE. AT FIRST WE HAD THE RACK REPLACED. THIS SOLVED SOME OF THE NOISE BUT IT STILL LUNGES. AFTER SEARCHING THE INTERNET IT SEEMS THAT SEVERAL PEOPLE HAVE TIED IT TO THE THROTTLE BODY. THIS HAS BEEN A REAL PROBLEM AS WE HAVE BEEN TEACHING OUR DAUGHTER HOW TO DRIVE. IT CAN BE QUITE DANGEROUS WHILE AT STOP LIGHTS AND TRYING TO PARK. ALSO, RECENTLY THE WRENCH LIGHT HAS COME ON AFTER IT BEGINS TO LUNGE. WHEN THE WRENCH LIGHT IS ON IT HAS LITTLE POWER TO ACCELERATE. AFTER THE CAR IS PARKED FOR A WHILE THE LIGHT GOES ON AND THE CAR FUNCTIONS NORMALLY AGAIN. PLEASE PURSUE A RECALL ON THIS PART AND LET ME KNOW WHAT YOU FIND IN YOUR INVESTIGATION. *TR
