NHTSA Complaint #10914851 — 2006 FORD FREESTAR

THE TRANSMISSION AND ACCELERATION FAIL TO RESPOND ON A RAMP TO THE HIGHWAY. SWITCHING MANUALLY TO 1 OR 3 WON'T MAKE A DIFFERENCE. IF I GO TO NEUTRAL WHEN IT STILL ROLLING THE GAS PEDAL WORKS. ON THE OTHER GEARS IT STAYS AT ABOUT 60KPH, 2000 RPM. I CAN'T GAIN ANY SPEED TO MERGE TO THE HIGHWAY, SO I HAVE TO GO TO THE SHOULDER, TURN ON HAZARD LIGHTS, TURN OFF ENGINE, WAIT A MOMENT AND THEN EVERYTHING IS OK. IT HAS HAPPENED ALWAYS ON THE SAME SPOT GOING DOWNHILL THE RAMP. AT LEAST 5 TIMES. ON THE AREA THERE IS A STOP LIGHT CONTROLLED BY RADIO FOR THE MAIN TRAFFIC AND ABOUT 200 METERS THERE IS AN HYDRO TRANSFORMER STATION, OTHERWISE JUST REGULAR BUILDINGS. I DON'T RECALL IT HAPPENING ON ANOTHER PLACE. I WONDER IF IT COULD BE RADIO INTERFERENCE THAT AFFECTS THE COMPUTER AND MAKES IT FAIL TO RESPOND AND WHEN THE ENGINE IS TURNED OFF, IT RESETS BY ITSELF.
