NHTSA Complaint #10994248 — 2007 FORD FREESTYLE

I WAS ON THE PARKWAY GOING ABOUT 65 MPH. I STOPPED AT A LIGHT TO TURN. AS I PRESSED ON THE PEDAL THE CAR DID NOT ACCELERATE NORMALLY. IT WAS SLUGGISH. I PULLED OVER TO LET TRAFFIC PASS. I TURNED OFF THE CAR AND TURNED IT ON AGAIN. THE CAR STARTED AND I WAS ABLE TO DRIVE IT ABOUT A 1/4 MILE BEFORE IT STOPPED ACCELERATING. IN THAT 1/4 MILE THE CAR BARELY ACCELERATED. I HAD TO PRESS THE PEDAL FAR TO RAISE THE RPMS A LITTLE BIT. HAD I CONTINUED TO DRIVE DOWN THAT PARKWAY I WOULD HAVE BEEN HIT BY ANOTHER CAR. I HAD TO BE TOWED HOME.
