NHTSA Complaint #10654639 — 2005 FORD FREESTYLE

OWN A 2005 FORD FREESTYLE, V6, 3.0, ALL WHEEL DRIVE, LIMITED EDITION. I STARTED HEARING LOUD GRINDING AND KNOCKING NOISES FROM THE CVT TRANSMISSION. THE VEHICLE WILL START, AND THE RPMS WILL INCREASE AND DECREASE UNCONTROLLABLY. THIS IS THE REASON THE CVT TRANSMISSION IN THESE VEHICLES ARE GOING BAD, MALFUNCTIONING, AND BREAKING CONTINUOUSLY. THE RPMS ARE DELAYED IN THE DECREASING RPMS PROCESS, WHICH TELLS THE COMPUTER TO SHIFT PREMATURELY, OR TO QUICKLY, CAUSING ANY INTERNAL PARTS AND EXTERNAL PARTS TO BE DAMAGED. THESE VEHICLES ARE EQUIPPED WITH A COMPUTERIZED THROTTLE POSITIONING SENSOR THAT IS ATTACHED TO THE ACTUAL THROTTLE BODY. THE COMPUTER IS SENDING IMPROPER COMMANDS TO THE THROTTLING POSITION SENSOR, RPMS, SHIFTING DELAY AND SYNCHRONIZED SHIFTING SENSORS. THIS IS PUTTING TOO MUCH OF A LOAD ON THE GEARS, BEARINGS, CLUTCHES, AND OTHER PARTS PERTAINING TO THE FUNCTIONING OF THE CVT TRANSMISSION SHIFTING AND EVERYDAY USE. FORD MOTOR COMPANY (AS STAMPED ON THE VIN AND VEHICLE INFORMATION STICKER INSIDE AND ON THE DRIVER SIDE DOOR JAM OF THE VEHICLE) SHOULD HAVE PERFECTED AND OR RECOGNIZED THESE ISSUES DURING THE MANUFACTURING, TESTING, AND OR DINO SESSIONS. ALL VEHICLE DESIGNS ARE TO BE TESTED, DIAGNOSED IF ANY ISSUES OCCUR, AND ARE TO BE FIXED, REDESIGNED, AND REPLACED. FORD SHOULD TAKE RECOGNITION TO THE CUSTOMERS AND DEALERS THAT OWN THESE VEHICLES. PEOPLE ARE PURCHASING THESE VEHICLES WITHOUT THE KNOWLEDGE OF POSSIBLE FAILURE AND TECHNICAL DIFFICULTIES OF THESE UNITS. THESE ISSUES CAN CAUSE THE VEHICLES, ESPECIALLY THE VEHICLES THAT ARE ALL WHEEL DRIVE, TO LOCK UP, BRAKE, BREAK, ACCELERATE UNCONTROLLABLY, AND CAUSE WRECKS, FENDER BENDERS, OR MORE SEVERE INJURIES, AND EVEN THE LIVES OF PEOPLE OF THIS GREAT NATION. THE UNITED STATES GOVERNMENT WILL NEED TO TAKE ACTION IMMEDIATELY, BEFORE FORD MOTOR COMPANY VEHICLES KILL, ELIMINATE, AND OR DECEASE PEOPLE. *TR
