Consumer Description

MY 2007 FORD FREESTYLE HAS HAD IDLING PROBLEMS SINCE ABOUT 80,000 MILES. IT CURRENTLY HAS 94,000 AND THE DEALERSHIP WOULD ONLY CLEAN THE THROTTLE BODY DESPITE NUMEROUS COMPLAINTS ON THIS TYPE OF VEHICLE. I HAVE ALSO HAD REPLACED SEVERAL BRAKE PADS/ CALIPERS/ TIRES AS THEY SEEM TO WARE VERY EASILY. I'VE REPLACE MY RIGHT SIDE CALIPER TWICE ALREADY. THE LAST TIME MY CAR STARTED SMOKING ON A HIGHWAY OUT OF NO WHERE AS IT SEIZED UP. ALSO AFTER DRIVING FOR 20-30 MIN MY CAR STARTS MAKING A WHINING NOISE AS SLOWING DOWN AN TURNING. STEERING FLUID HAS BEEN CHECKEDAND IS OK. POSSIBLY THE CVT WHICH I HAVE VERY RECENTLY FOUND OUT I' M FAR FROM THE ONLY ONE WITH THIS PROBLEM. THIS VEHICLE APPEARS TO HAVE DEFECTIVE PARTS WHICH ARE CAUSING SAFETY ISSUES AND I WANT IT ADDRESSED . *TR
