Consumer Description

WHEN IDLING AT AN INTERSECTION OR TAKING OFF FROM A PARKED POSITION...THE FREESTYLE WILL EXPERIENCE A QUICK SURGE OF ACCELERATION. I HAVE BEEN FORTUNATE ENOUGH TO APPLY THE BRAKE TO STOP THE VEHICLE WITHOUT INCIDENT. IT SEEMS TO OCCUR MORE WHEN AIR CONDITIONING IS ON. THE MOST RECENT OCCURRENCE HAPPENED TO MY WIFE WHEN SHE WAS OUT WITH THE KIDS. SHE PUT ON THE GAS, IT LUNGED FORWARD, SHE SLAMMED THE BRAKES AND THEN THE ENGINE STALLED...THIS HAPPENED TWICE. WE PARKED THE VEHICLE IN A PARKING LOT OVERNIGHT. WE WERE ABLE TO DRIVE IT THE NEXT MORNING TO THE FORD DEALERSHIP FOR SERVICE. IT'S HAPPENING WAY TOO OFTEN AND IT ISN'T SAFE. *TR
