NHTSA Complaint #10470809 — 2006 FORD FREESTYLE

THE CAR SURGES, JUMPS, SOMETIMES ACCLERATES AND I PUT ON THE BRAKES AND IT WILL SOMETIMES DIE. MAINLY HAPPENS WHEN I AM IN REVERSE/FORWARD OR THE AIR CONDITIONING IS RUNNING. ALSO, DOES THIS WHEN I AM IDLING IN A PARKING LOT OR AT A TRAFFIC LIGHT. I HAVE TAKEN IT TO AUTO REPAIR SHOPS AND THEY THINK IT IS THE COMPUTER. COULDN'T AFFORD TO DO A NEW COMPUTER SO THOUGHT I WOULD HOLD OUT, SINCE IT DOESN'T DO IT ALL THE TIME. NOW IT IS STARTING TO GET WORSE. I TURN THE AIR OFF WHEN STARTING OUT. MY WRENCH LIGHT COMES ON AND I DON'T HAVE MUCH POWER AND MY RPMS GET UP TO 4 WHEN DRIVING 50MPH. TURN THE CAR OFF AND IT IS LIKE IT NEVER HAPPENED. THE CAR IS DANGEROUS TO DRIVE WITH MY KIDS NOT KNOWING WHEN IT WILL HAPPEN IN BUSY TRAFFIC,,WILL IT DIE AND SOMEONE HIT ME? THIS ISN'T NORMAL AND I HAVE FOUND OUT MY CAR ISN'T THE ONLY ONE DOING THIS SAME THING. WILL IT REALLY TAKE SOMEONE GETTING VERY HURT FOR SOMETHING TO BE DONE? WHAT JUSTICE IS THAT AND KNOWING THAT THIS PROBLEMS EXIST. FIRST TIME BUYING A FORD AND WILL PROBABLY BE THE LAST TIME. I DON'T TRUST THEM. YOU HAVE A PROBLEM YOU FIX IT. THAT IS INTEGRITY & TRUST. LOVE FOR SOMEONE FROM FORD TO COME WITH ME FOR A DAY AND RIDE IN BUMPER TO BUMPER TRAFFIC AND SEE HOW OUR DAY GOES. *TR
