NHTSA Complaint #10553860 — 2006 FORD FREESTYLE

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 FORD FREESTYLE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 68 MPH, THE CBT TRANSMISSION CAUSED THE VEHICLE TO ACCELERATE WITHOUT WARNING. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC, WHO DIAGNOSED THAT THE PCM TRANSMISSION CONTROL HAD EXCEEDED THE CURRENT CONDITION. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE PROBLEM. THE APPROXIMATE MILEAGE WAS 79,957. THE CONSUMER STATED TWO DAYS AFTER THE VEHICLE WAS PURCHASED, THE WRENCH LIGHT ILLUMINATED. WHEN THE WRENCH LIGHT ILLUMINATED, THE VEHICLE SOUNDED AND ACTED LIKE IT WAS STUCK IN GEAR. SO, THE ONLY WAY TO ALLEVIATE THE ISSUE, WAS TO PULL OVER, TURN THE VEHICLE OFF AND BACK ON AGAIN.
