NHTSA Complaint #10593850 — 2007 FORD FREESTYLE

I HAVE HAD MY 2007 FORD FREESTYLE SINCE 2008. THIS CAR HAS BEEN A MONEY PIT. I HAVE HAD TO GET A WATER PUMP, AC COMPRESSOR, AND THROTTLE BODY, NOW IT NEEDS AN EXPENSIVE FAULTY TRANSMISSION REPLACED CALLED CVT TRANSMISSION. THE CAR IS NOW PARKED FOR SAFETY AND TO AVOID FURTHER DAMAGE. THE ISSUE THAT I HAVE EXPERIENCED IS WHILE MY FOOT COMPLETELY ON THE BREAK, THE CAR HAS DARTED FORWARD WITH OUT MY ABILITY TO STOP IT. I HAVE HAD THIS HAPPEN WITH PEOPLE WALKING IN FRONT OF ME IN THE CROSS WALK WHILE AT THE STOP LIGHT AND MY CAR HAS DARTED AT THEM. SCARY!! TO SAY THE LEAST. I WOULD NOT BE SURPRISED IF ANYONE ELSE HAS HIT SOMEONE DUE TO THIS PROBLEM. I DON'T DRIVE THE CAR ANYMORE BECAUSE IT SHUT OFF ON ME WHILE IN TRAFFIC, UNEXPECTEDLY, GRATEFULLY THE PERSON BEHIND ME WAS PAYING ATTENTION. I HAVE FIXED THE AC COMPRESSOR, THROTTLE BODY, AND WATER PUMP, I CANNOT POSSIBLY REPLACE THE TRANSMISSION, I HAVE 3 CHILDREN AND NOW WITHOUT A CAR. I WOULD NOT FEEL SAFE EVEN AFTER IT IS FIXED. FROM READING OTHER COMPLAINTS THIS CAR IS MADE FAULTY, AND IS GOING TO FELL ME IN SOME OTHER EXPENSIVE OR DANGEROUS WAY. TO MY KNOWLEDGE FORD HAS DISCONTINUED MAKING THE FREESTYLE AND IS NOW MAKING TAURUS IN ITS PLACE. THEY SHOULD HAVE RECALLED EVERY SINGLE FORD FREESTYLE, THIS CAR IS DANGEROUS!!!!!!!!!!!! IT HAS BEEN MADE TO FAIL, I HOPE FORD CAN RESTORE MY TRUST IN THEM. I DO NOT WANT ANY OTHER FORD BECAUSE OF THIS. *TR
