NHTSA Complaint #10712827 — 2006 FORD FREESTYLE

DRIVING DOWN THE INTERSTATE IN TRAFFIC THE ENGINE STALLS WRENCH LIGHT CAME ON, LEAVING ME WITH NO POWER TO CONTROL MY SPEED. AS MY CAR QUICKLY REDUCES SPEED ON A MAJOR INTERSTATE I ATTEMPT TO GET OVER TO THE SHOULDER OUT OF HARMS WAY. THIS IS HAPPENED 4 TIMES, THE LATEST TIME OUR CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON AND STAYS ON. P2104, P2100, P2112, AND P0325 CODES ARE PRESENT. I HAVE SEEN FORD HAS RECALLED 1.6 MILLION ELECTRONIC THROTTLE BODY IN FORD ESCAPE, MERCURY MARINER, AND MERCURY MILAN VEHICLES WITH THE SAME 3.0L ENGINE AND SAME ELECTRONIC THROTTLE BODY. ALL FORD HAS TO DO IS TO LIST THE FORD FREESTYLE AS ONE OF THESE RECALL VEHICLES FOR THE ETB TO BE REPAIRED/REPLACED. THIS IS A VERY SCARY SITUATION TO BE IN WITH CHILDREN IN THE CAR AND YOU HAVE NO POWER TO YOU ACCELERATOR TO GET OUT OF THE WAY OF SPEEDING VEHICLES ALL AROUND YOU!! I DON'T KNOW WHAT TO DO, VERY EXPENSIVE TO REPLACE THE ETB. *TR
