NHTSA Complaint #10652569 — 2006 FORD FREESTYLE

I WOULD BE SITTING IN LINE AT SCHOOL TO PICK UP GRAND DAUGHTER WITH AIR ON, LET OFF BRAKE TO MOVE FORWARD AND CAR WOULD SURGE THIS CONTINUED, BUT FORTUNATELY I WASN'T PICKING HER UP AS OFTEN. I COULD NOT TURN AIR ON. MY FREESTYLE NOW ONLY HAS 58,947MILES(APPROX.). SOMETIME IN 2012 I RECEIVED A LETTER FROM FORD OFFERING TO CLEAN THE THROTTLE BODY. I HAD IT CLEANED THEN IT SOUNDED LIKE A TRUCK AND SMELLED LIKE GAS. THE LAST FEW MONTHS IT DIES ON THE HIGHWAY. I'M AFRAID TO DRIVE ON BUSY ROADS. I HAD MY CAR DIAGNOSED, THEY SAY IT IS THE THROTTLE BODY WHICH IS MESSING UP THE COMPUTER. I HAVE CONTACTED FORD DISTRIBUTOR TO NO AVAIL. I AM TRYING TO GET FUNDS TOGETHER TO TAKE CARE OF THIS PROBLEM. I UNDERSTAND THIS IS NOT AN ISOLATED CASE. THE PROBLEM MIGHT BE THAT FORD ONLY SOLD FREESTYLES FOR A FEW YEARS. *TR
