2006 FORD FREESTYLE Structure Problems

THE DRIVER SIDE PASSENGER DOOR SEAL IS FAULTY, LETTING WATER GET INTO THE DOOR CAUSING IT TO FREEZE AND RUST. THE ELECTRICAL FOR THE DRIVER HEATED SEAT KEEPS MALFUNCTIONING CAUSING IT TO KEEP BREAKING. THE LEVERS THAT FLIP THE SECOND AND THIRD ROW SEATING HAVE BECOME FAULTY AND WILL NO LONGER WORK. LASTLY, THE ALL-WHEEL DRIVE COMPONENT ON MY VEHICLE STOPPED WORKING WHILE I WAS DRIVING. IT WAS DURING THE WINTER AND THE ROADS WERE ICY SO IT CAUSED ME TO HAVE LESS TRACTION AND FISH TAIL. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 FORD FREESTYLE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WATER LEAKED INTO THE VEHICLE THROUGH THE SEAT BELTS. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 89,000.

WATER IN THE SPARE TIRE WELL, RUST ON THE THIRD SEAT SUPPORT, MOLD COVERING TIRE COVER, MOLD ON CARPET AND A TERRIBLE MILDEW SMELL IN THE CAR. PROBLEM IS REPORTED IN FORDS TBS07-03-06 TO DEALERS WATER LEAKING FROM DRAIN TUBES INTO BACK OF CAR. I NOTICED THIS PROBLEM WHEN I SAW WATER RUNNING DOWN MY SEAT BELTS AND A TERRIVEL MILDEW SMELL IN CAR. SEEMS TO ME A MOLD/MILDEW PROBLEM IS A SAFETY ISSUE. DRIVING AROUND IN A CLOSED UP VEHICLE WITH SPORES FLOATING AROUND CAN'T BE HEALTHY ESPECIALLY WITH TWO SMALL CHILREN AGES 1 AND 3. I AM VERY CONCERNED ABOUT MY FAMILY BREATHING IN THIS MOLD IF IT WAS IN A HOME IT WOULD BE CONCIDERED A SAFETY HAZARD. I FOUND THIS FROM A POSTING ONLINE ABOUT MOLD-ASSOCIATED CONDITIONS. HEALTH PROBLEMS ASSOCIATED WITH HIGH LEVELS OF AIRBORNE MOLD SPORES INCLUDE ALLERGIC REACTIONS, ASTHMA EPISODES, IRRITATIONS OF THE EYE,...

I HAVE A 2006 FORD FREESTYLE LIMITED THAT LEAKS THROUGH THE PASSENGER SIDE THIRD ROW SEATBELT. FROM WHAT I HAVE BEEN ABLE TO SEE ON THE INTERNET IT SOUNDS LIKE IT IS BECAUSE OF THE MOONROOF DRAIN CLIPS. I KNOW THIS PART IS NOT A SAFETY ISSUE BUT THE PROBLEM CONTINUED AND SHORTED OUT THE PASSENGER SIDE BRAKE/TURN SIGNAL LIGHT. I KNOW IT IS NOT THE FUSE BECAUSE THE FRONT ONE WORKS AND I KNOW IT'S NOT THE BULB BECAUSE THE BULB ONE THE PASSENGER SIDE WORKED WHEN I TRIED IT ON THE DRIVERS SIDE. I FEEL THAT THIS IS A BIG SAFELY PROBLEM SINCE OTHER DRIVERS DON'T KNOW IF I AM TURNING. FORD NEEDS TO FIX THIS PROBLEM AND ISSUE A RECALL BEFORE ACCIDENTS HAPPEN. *TR

SUNROOF/MOONROOF LEAK: POSSIBLY ALLOWS WATER INSIDE VEHICLE EVERY TIME IT GETS WET. BROUGHT THE VEHICLE TO THE SELLING DEALER APPROXIMATELY 16 MOS. INTO WARRANTY. I THOUGHT IT WAS A WINDSHIELD LEAK AT FIRST AND THE SERVICE REP TOLD ME I WOULD HAVE TO GO TO A GLASS COMPANY. I EXPLAINED THAT I HAD NOT HAD ANY GLASS REPLACED ON THE VEHICLE AND THAT IT WAS A FORD PROBLEM, TO WHICH THEY RESPONDED THAT THEY WOULD CHECK IT OUT. WHEN I RETURNED TO PICK UP THE VEHICLE THEY TOLD ME THAT THEY COULD NOT FIND THE LEAK. I ASKED IF THEY HAD PUT WATER ON THE CAR ROOF AND THEY SAID THEY HAD NOT TO WHICH I QUESTIONED HOW CAN YOU FIND A WATER LEAK WITHOUT WATER? I REFUSED TO PICK UP THE CAR AND THEY SAID THEY WOULD TRY WATER. THE NEXT DAY THEY CALLED TO SAY THE LEAK WAS...

2006 FREESTYLE SEL INSTRUMENT PANEL IS HARD TO READ AND SOMETIMES IT CANNOT BE READ AT ALL WHEN WEARING SUNGLASSES. *TS ***NO ANSWER REQUIRED*** THE VISIBILITY PROBLEM OCCURS MOSTLY WHEN TRAVELING NORTH AND WHEN THE SUN IS VERY BRIGHT. THE INSTRUMENT PANEL IS BLACK WITH WHITE NUMBERS. THE CONSUMER WAS UNABLE TO SEE THE SPEEDOMETER THEREFORE COULD NOT USE THE SPEED CONTROL. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER FOR A TEST DRIVE BUT THEY INDICATED THAT THERE WAS NOTHING WRONG WITH THE VEHICLE. *NM
