2006 Ford Freestyle

I HAVE A 2006 FORD FREESTYLE WITH THE SAME PROBLEM, THE SUV LUNGING FORWARD WHEN IN DRIVE OR IF YOUR IN REVERSE IT DOES IT TO. I ALSO HAVE A FAIL SAFE ISSUES THE LITTLE WRENCH LITE COMES ON AND ACTS LIKE IT'S GOING TO DIE, AND WHEN YOU TURN THE KEY OFF AND WAIT A COUPLE OF SECONDS THEN RESTART THE CAR IT IS FINE. ALSO I GO THROUGH REAR BRAKES LIKE CANDY. WHY ISN'T THERE ANYBODY MAKING FORD ACCOUNTABLE FORE THESE PROBLEMS. *TR

ANYTIME I GO FROM PARK TO REVERSE OR DRIVE AT IDLE SPEED MY CAR LUNGES. ON THIS PARTICULAR DAY I WAS BACKING OUT OF A PARKING SPOT. THE CAR LUNGED SO HARD IT THROUGH CODES AND THE WRENCH ON THE DASH LITE UP AND CAR LOST ALL ACCELERATION POWER. I PARKED THE CAR AND DROVE IT THE NEXT DAY AND THE POWER WAS BACK AND THE WRENCH WAS NOT LITE ANYMORE. IT REALLY SCARES ME TO DRIVE THIS CAR. *TR

MY 2006 FORD FREESTYLE LIMITED HAS MAJOR ELECTRICAL PROBLEMS. I HAVE HAD THE CAR LUNGE ON ME, AT 0MPH IT WOULD LUNGE FORWARD, AND IN REVERSE. FORTUNATELY I HAD MY FOOT ON THE BRAKE EVERY TIME. I DON'T THINK IT IS THE TRANSMISSION. I HAVE A FEELING THAT IT IS ALL ELECTRICAL. I HAVE HAD THE LUNGING PROBLEM SINCE LAST YEAR. (2011) AND THE CAR HAS BEEN DETERIORATING SINCE. YESTERDAY I GOT "CHECK CHARGING SYSTEM" AND NOW IT KILLS ALL OF THE LIGHTS AND GAUGES... YET IT STILL KIND OF RAN.(NOT VERY GOOD UP HILL, AND NO INDICATOR LIGHTS, NO SPEEDOMETER NOTHING.)ANOTHER RECENT PROBLEM I HAVE IS THE CENTER ENGINE (SHOCK?)MOUNT IS BUSTED. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 FORD FREESTYLE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING AT VARIOUS SPEEDS THE VEHICLE LUNGE FORWARD. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER WHO WAS UNABLE TO DIAGNOSE THE FAILURE. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE VIN WAS NOT AVAILABLE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 65,000 AND THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 113,000.

MY HUSBAND USED THE CRUISE CONTROL ON THE HIGHWAY AND EXPERIENCED A LOSS OF POWER. WE ARE UNABLE TO USE THE CRUISE CONTROL AT ALL. THIS IS ALSO A PROBLEM WHEN GETTING ON THE HIGHWAY OR PASSING. TRYING TO PASS CAN BE TERRIFYING WHEN YOU ARE IN THE LEFT HAND LANE AND LOSE POWER,YOU HAVE TO FIND A WAY TO PULL TO THE RIGHT HAND LANE ,GET OFF THE ROAD, AND SHUT OFF THE ENGINE.WHEN YOU START BACK UP YOU HAVE POWER AGAIN. I KNOW THAT WE ARE NOT THE ONLY ONES WITH THIS PROBLEM I ALSO KNOW THAT THEY HAVE HAD A RECALL FOR THE SAME PROBLEM WITH A DIFFERENT MODEL. *TR

ISSUES WITH THROTTLE BODY , THE WRENCH LIGHT HAS COME ON MULTIPLE TIMES WHILE DRIVING AT LOW SPEEDS(UNDER 45MPH) THE CAN WILL RANDOMLY LURCH AT LOW SPEEDS , HAVING THE AIR CONDITIONER ON SEEMS TO MAKE THE PROBLEM WORSE . THE WAY THE CAR JOLTS AND JUMPS IS UNPREDICTABLE AND MAKES THE VEHICLE UNSAFE . THIS PROBLEM HAS BEEN HAPPENING SINCE WE PURCHASED THE CAR , AND AFTER YEARS AND MANY TRIPS TO THE FORD DEALER THE PROBLEM WILL STOP FOR ONLY A FEW DAYS OR FEW MONTHS AND THEN THE SAME PROBLEM STARTS ALL OVER AGAIN. ALSO OTHER OWNERS OF FORD FREESTYLES MADE EITHER IN2005 OR 2006 HAVE ALSO EXPERIENCES THE SAME EXACT PROBLEMS I HAVE EXPERIENCED. I STRONGLY FEEL THIS CAR SHOULD BE RECALLED DUE TO THE SAFETY ISSUES. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 FORD FREESTYLE. THE CONTACT WAS DRIVING 55 MPH WHEN HE NOTICED THAT THE VEHICLE WOULD NOT DECELERATE. THE CONTACT HAD TO TAP ON THE BRAKE PEDAL A COUPLE OF TIMES TO GET THE VEHICLE TO DECELERATE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT TAKEN TO THE DEALER. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT CONTACTED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 85,000 AND THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 86,000.

THE CAR SURGES, JUMPS, SOMETIMES ACCLERATES AND I PUT ON THE BRAKES AND IT WILL SOMETIMES DIE. MAINLY HAPPENS WHEN I AM IN REVERSE/FORWARD OR THE AIR CONDITIONING IS RUNNING. ALSO, DOES THIS WHEN I AM IDLING IN A PARKING LOT OR AT A TRAFFIC LIGHT. I HAVE TAKEN IT TO AUTO REPAIR SHOPS AND THEY THINK IT IS THE COMPUTER. COULDN'T AFFORD TO DO A NEW COMPUTER SO THOUGHT I WOULD HOLD OUT, SINCE IT DOESN'T DO IT ALL THE TIME. NOW IT IS STARTING TO GET WORSE. I TURN THE AIR OFF WHEN STARTING OUT. MY WRENCH LIGHT COMES ON AND I DON'T HAVE MUCH POWER AND MY RPMS GET UP TO 4 WHEN DRIVING 50MPH. TURN THE CAR OFF AND IT IS LIKE IT NEVER HAPPENED. THE CAR IS DANGEROUS TO DRIVE WITH MY KIDS NOT KNOWING WHEN IT WILL HAPPEN IN BUSY TRAFFIC,,WILL IT DIE AND SOMEONE HIT ME? THIS ISN'T NORMAL AND I HAVE FOUND OUT MY CAR ISN'T THE ONLY ONE DOING THIS SAME THING. WILL IT REALLY TAKE SOMEONE GETTING VERY HURT FOR SOMETHING TO BE DONE? WHAT JUSTICE IS THAT AND KNOWING THAT THIS PROBLEMS EXIST. FIRST TIME BUYING A FORD AND WILL PROBABLY BE THE LAST TIME. I DON'T TRUST THEM. YOU HAVE A PROBLEM YOU FIX IT. THAT IS INTEGRITY & TRUST. LOVE FOR SOMEONE FROM FORD TO COME WITH ME FOR A DAY AND RIDE IN BUMPER TO BUMPER TRAFFIC AND SEE HOW OUR DAY GOES. *TR
