NHTSA Complaint #10510265 — 2006 FORD FREESTYLE

I PURCHASED MY 2006 FORD FREESTYLE AS A USED VEHICLE IN 8/2011. I HAVE HAD NOTHING BUT PROBLEM AFTER PROBLEM WITH THIS VEHICLE. IT STARTED WITH AC ISSUE IN 9/2011. THEN SURGING/BRAKING ISSUES OFF AND ON FOR ALMOST A YEAR. I COULDN'T GET THE DEALERSHIP WHERE I PURCHASES IT OR AN ACTUAL FORD DEALERSHIP TO REPAIR THE SURGING/BRAKING ISSUE BECAUSE THEY COULDN'T GET THE PROBLEM TO REPEAT WHEN I BROUGHT IT IN. IT WASN'T UNTIL I RECEIVED THE SERVICE LETTER FOR THIS ISSUE THAT MY COMPLAINT WAS JUSTIFIED AND THE RECOMMENDED REPAIRS WHERE DONE AS PER STATED BY THE MANUFACTURER LETTER. THIS REPAIR WASN'T DONE UNTIL 1/2013. DURING THAT TIME I HAVE ALSO HAD TO REPLACE THE WATER PUMP AND HARMONIZE BALANCER. NOW, 5/2013 MY TORQUE CONVERTER AND/OR CVT IS GOING OUT. BASICALLY, ALL THE COMPLAINTS THAT ARE OUT THERE ON THIS VEHICLE I HAVE THE MISFORTUNE OF BEING ALL IN THIS ONE VEHICLE. I WISH THERE WAS A RECALL ON THIS VEHICLE BECAUSE I DESPERATELY NEED OUT OF THIS MONEY TRAP AND OWE MORE ON IT THAN IT'S WORTH. PLEASE HELP SOON TO BE STRANDED SINGLE MOM OF 3. *TR
