Consumer Description

THE THROTTLE BODY ISSUE WITH FORD FREESTYLE HAS AFFECTED US TWICE WITH THE SAME CAR. THE INITIAL TIME IS MENTIONED ABOVE, AND THE PART WAS REPLACED UNDER WARRANTY BY FORD. THE ISSUE HAS RESURFACED AND IT MAKES THE CAR VERY DANGEROUS IF YOU ARE NOT MASHING THE BRAKE DOWN AT IDLE BECAUSE THE CAR WILL LUNGE OR LURCH UNCONTROLLABLY. IT ACCELERATES RAPIDLY AT IDLE WITHOUT CONTROL. THE LURCHING OCCURS ESPECIALLY BAD WHEN THE AIR CONDITIONER IS RUNNING. *TR
