NHTSA Complaint #10466393 — 2007 FORD FREESTYLE

HAVE MULTIPLE ISSUE WITH MY FORD FREESTYLE: ENGINE SURGES/LUNGES, THEN STALLS AT LIGHTS OR DRIVING AT LOW SPEEDS. AFTER EXPLAINING THIS TO FORD BEFORE THE WARRANTY EXPIRED THEY KEPT THE VEHICLE FOR DAYS AND CLAIM ISSUE WAS NOT DUPLICATED...WHEN I CAME BACK TO THEM A MONTH LATER I REPLACED THE (ETC) AT FORD'S RECOMMENDATION. THEY CHARGED ME FOR THIS. AFTER ABOUT 3 YEARS OF HAVING THE VEHICLE, I HAD TO REPLACE THE ENGINE MOUNT. THE DASH LIGHTS HAVE BEEN GOING OUT ONE BY ONE. WHEN THE FIRST ONE WENT, IT HAPPENED BEFORE THE WARRANTY EXPIRED BUT, FORD CLAIMED IT WASN'T COVERED AND WANTED TO CHARGE ME OVER $200 TO REPLACE A .10 CENT LIGHT BULB. I TOLD THEM NOT TOO AND THEY STILL CHARGED ME $50.00 FOR THE INSPECTION. THOUGH THE SURGING STOPPED FOR A YEAR AND A HALF AFTER REPLACING THE ETC, THE SURGING/LUNGING HAS RETURNED. AND SINCE THE WARRANTY HAS LONG SINCE EXPIRED AND I AM UNDER-EMPLOYED, I HAVEN'T HAD THE MONEY TO REPLACE THIS PART AGAIN. *TR
