Consumer Description

I FIRST NOTICED OUR 2006 FORD FREESTYLE STARTED LUNGING FORWARD WHEN I WOULD BE IN LINE AT THE DRIVE UP WINDOW AT A RESTAURANT OR THE BANK, NUMEROUS TIMES, ALMOST HITTING THE CAR IN FRONT OF ME. ALSO, WHEN SLOWING DOWN TO ENTER THE GARAGE OR A PARKING SPACE AND WHEN BACKING OUT OF THE GARAGE. IT SEEMED TO BE WORSE WHEN THE AIR CONDITIONING WAS ON. I FINALLY TOOK IT TO THE FORD DEALERSHIP WHO CHARGED $125.00 FOR THE DIAGNOSTIC TO TELL ME IT WAS THE THROTTLE BODY. THEIR ESTIMATE WAS ALMOST $800. I HAD MY OWN MECHANIC FIX IT FOR AROUND $600 AND HAVE HAD NO PROBLEMS SINCE. I AM HOPING YOU CAN DO SOMETHING ABOUT THIS AS I WAS VERY CONCERNED ABOUT IT LUNGING FORWARD AND HITTING SOMEONE. *KB
