NHTSA Complaint #10425336 — 2005 FORD FREESTYLE

MY FORD FREESTYLE 2005 HAS BEEN LUNGING FOR MONTHS. I PURCHASED THIS VEHICLE USED FROM A PRIVATE PARTY. OF COURSE IF THE PREVIOUS OWNER HAD ANY ISSUES HE DID NOT SHARE THEM WITH ME.THE VEHICLE DID HAVE SOME MINOR DINGS WHICH HE CLAIMED OCCURRED WHEN HE BACKED INTO A FENCE.HE HAD BEEN HAVING SOME SEVERE MEDICAL PROBLEMS SO I AM WONDERING DID HE JUST THINK IT WAS HIS FAULT, NOT REALIZING THE CAR HAD LUNGED. I SEE A LOT OF OTHER PEOPLE ON THE INTERNET ARE HAVING THE SAME PROBLEMS. WHEN ARE YOU GOING TO RECALL THIS VEHICLE? IT IS VERY SCARY AND DOES IT IN FORWARD AND REVERSE. I HAVE BEEN AFRAID TO PARK IN ANY TIGHT SPACES WHERE IT MAY LUNG AND CAUSE A ACCIDENT OR INJURE SOMEONE.I HAVE A HANDICAP PARKING TAG BUT HAVE BEEN LEARY OF PARKING IN THOSE SPACES SHOULD THIS HAPPEN. ALSO THE AIR CONDITIONING ONLY OPERATES WHEN THE VEHICLE IS ACCELERATING, I SAW OTHERS HAVE THAT ISSUE ALSO. PLEASE TAKE ACTION SOON BEFORE THESE VEHICLES SUDDENLY LUNGE ON A INTERSTATE AND CAUSE SERIOUS INJURIES OR DEATH. THANK YOU. *TR
