I CURRENTLY OWN A 2006 FORD FREESTYLE AND WE GET SUDDEN ACCELERATOR SURGES WHEN PARKING OR JUST HAVING A FOOT ON THE BRAKE WHICH ALMOST LUNGES THE VEHICLE INTO AN INTERSECTION WHEN STOPPED AT A LIGHT. THIS HAPPENS FREQUENTLY SAY 50% OF THE TIME THAT YOU ARE JUST HOLDING THE BRAKE. I HAVE CONTACTED THE DEALER AND EVEN WITH A 100K MILE WARRANTY THEY SAY THIS IS NOT COVERED. THIS SHOULD BE FIXED EVEN WITHOUT A WARRANTY IT IS A SERIOUS SAFETY ISSUE. I AM CURRENTLY A GENERAL MANAGER AT AN INDEPENDENT AUTOMOTIVE TEST LAB AND I KNOW AN ISSUE THAT SHOULD BE ADDRESSED AND FORD IS PLAYING WITH FIRE ON THIS PROBLEM. THERE ARE PLENTY OF BLOGS IN THE INTERNET COVERING THIS. PLEASE INVESTIGATE BEFORE SOMEONE GETS KILLED. *TR
