NHTSA Complaint #10420284 — 2006 FORD FREESTYLE

WITH THE VEHICLE IN GEAR, EITHER FORWARD OR REVERSE, AND WITH A FOOT ON THE BREAK AT IDLE RPM THE ENGINE SURGES CAUSING THE VEHICLE TO LURCH. CONSEQUENTLY, THE VEHICLE WILL EITHER STALL OR THE "WRENCH" LIGHT WILL ILLUMINATE AND THE VEHICLE WILL NOT ACCELERATE TO OVER 30MPH WHILE DRIVING THE RPM'S UP WELL PAST NORMAL FOR THAT RATE OF SPEED. THIS IS ALSO THE CASE WHILE AT IDLE SPEED (NO FOOT ON BREAK...JUST ENGINE IN GEAR AND AT IDLE...AS IF PULLING INTO OR OUT OF A PARKING SPACE). THIS HAS BEEN ONGOING, YET INTERMITTENT, FOR A LITTLE OVER A YEAR THOUGH NOW IT'S A MULTIPLE-DAILY OCCURENCE.
