NHTSA Complaint #10724777 — 2006 FORD FREESTYLE

MY VEHICLE HAS BEEN SURGING (THE GAS) WHEN I AM AT A COMPLETE STOP FOR ABOUT A MONTH AND THIS WEEK THE CAR BEGAN TO LOSE POWER WHILE DRIVING. THE MOTOR SEEMED TO REV UP, BUT THE CAR DIDN'T GO ANYWHERE VERY QUICKLY. I TOOK THE CAR TO A MECHANIC AND HE DID A "3 PART INDUCTION" ON THE VEHICLE. I AM HOPING THAT THIS WILL CURE THE PROBLEM SINCE WHEN I PUT "3 PART INDUCTION" INTO THE SEARCH ENGINE IN THE COMPUTER I CAME UP WITH A FORD FREESTYLE PROBLEMS PAGE WITH QUITE A FEW OTHER PEOPLE WITH THE SAME ISSUES. SO I SPENT $150 FOR A CLEANING AND IF THAT DOES NOT WORK I UNDERSTAND THAT I'LL NEED TO SPEND OVER $1,000 FOR REPLACEMENT OF THE PARTS. I HAVE ALSO RECENTLY HAD BRAKE ISSUES. I JUST HAD MY BRAKE ROTORS AND PADS REPLACED 6 MONTHS AGO FOR ALMOST $600. TOOK THE CAR BACK THE OTHER DAY BECAUSE SO MUCH BRAKE DUST ON THE WHEELS. BACK BRAKES ARE GETTING TOO HOT AND GRINDING.I WAS TOLD THE THE HOSES AND THE CALIPERS ON THE BACK ARE BOTH BAD. THEY WANT $800 TO REPLACE THEM - THEN SINCE THE BRAKE PADS HAVE A LIFETIME WARRANTY THEY WILL REPLACE THEM AGAIN. GOING BROKE OVER HERE.....
