NHTSA Complaint #10421511 — 2007 FORD FREESTYLE

2007 FORD FREESTYLE LUNGES FORWARD EVEN WHEN YOUR FOOT IS ON THE BRAKES. AS YOU SHIFT INTO REVERSE OR FORWARD WITH YOU FOOT ON THE BRAKE, THE VEHICLE LUNGES AHEAD. TAKEN IT TO 3 DIFFERENT FORD DEALERSHIPS IN AUSTIN TEXAS AND HAVE BEEN TOLD THAT I NEED INJECTOR FLUSH AND GAS AND AIR FILTERS CHANGED WHICH MAY RESULT IN PROBLEM GOING AWAY. ANOTHER DEALER WANTS TO CHANGE THE THROTTLE BODY ASSEMBLY BLAMING THE PROBLEM ON ETHANOL IN THE GASOLINE. THEY ALSO WANT TO DO THE PREVIOUS SERVICES AS WELL. COSTS HAVE RANGED FROM 616.00 TO 1200.00. FOUND NUMEROUS FORUMS ABOUT THIS ISSUE WITH HUNDREDS OR MORE COMPLAINTS ABOUT THE SAME PROBLEMS BUT FORD IS SAYING THAT THIS IS NOT A SERIOUS PROBLEM OR THAT THEY DO NOT SEE MANY OF THESE ISSUES. THE PROBLEM OF LUNGING HAS BEEN MORE APPARENT OVER THE LAST 10,000 MILES (CAR IS AT 86000MILES) THERE DOES NOT SEEM. *TR
