I FILED A COMPLAINT ABOUT 2 YEARS AGO REGARDING MY VEHICLE LUNGING FORWARD. I RECEIVED A NOTICE TO BRING MY CAR THE FORD DEALERSHIP FOR THROTTLE BODY REPAIR. SINCE TAKING MY VEHICLE INTO THE DEALERSHIP FOR REPAIRS I HAVE NOTICED THAT MY VEHICLE IS HESITATING. WHEN YOU PRESS ON THE ACCELERATOR THE VEHICLE DOES NOT INCREASE SPEED MORE THAN 8 TO 10 MILES WHEN YOU PUSH THE ACCELERATOR TO THE FLOOR. I HAVE TAKEN THIS VEHICLE TO 2 DIFFERENT DEALERSHIP THAT SPECIALIZE IN FORD PRODUCT BUT NOT THE FORD DEALERSHIP. I HAVE BEEN TOLD THAT MY TRANSMISSION NEEDS TO BE REBUILT AND I WAS TOLD AT ANOTHER DEALERSHIP THAT IT WAS IN DESPERATE NEED OF REPLACING OR REBUILDING. I FEEL AS THOUGH FORD KNOWS THE PROBLEMS THAT THE OWNERS ARE FACING AND NEED TO STEP THEIR GAME UP. I HAVE ANOTHER YEAR AND A HALF BEFORE THIS VEHICLE WILL BE PAID IN FULL. I FEEL AT THIS POINT THAT FORD ASSEMBLED ALL OF THESE VEHICLES AND SHOULD BE HELD ACCOUNTABLE FOR SELLING THESE LEMONS. WHEN YOU START LOOKING AT COMPLAINT AFTER COMPLAINT FROM DIFFERENT CUSTOMERS ALL OVER THE WORLD THEN YOU KNOW THERE IS A BIGGER PROBLEM. I FEEL ALL THE MONEY THAT I HAVE INVESTED AND STILL INVESTING TO SAVE MY CREDIT HAS TURNED ME AWAY FROM FORD VEHICLES OF ANY KIND AT THIS POINT. *TR

I HAVE BEEN HAVING PROBLEMS WITH THE THROTTLE BODY OF THE VEHICLE FOR THE PAST 2 YEARS. IT SEEMS TO WANT TO LUNGE FORWARD AND BACK ON ITS OWN. THE IDOL IS SCREWED UP AS WELL. FORD ISSUED A CUSTOMER SERVICE 12N03 IN DECEMBER 2012. SINCE IT WAS SERVICED AT THIS TIME, IT STILL HAS BEEN OCCURRING FREQUENTLY. IT IS A DANGEROUS SITUATION WHEN YOU DO NOT KNOW IF YOU WILL HIT SOMEONE IF THE CAR LUNGES FORWARD OR BACK ON ITS OWN. I NOW HAVE IT IN THE SHOP FOR THE THIRD TIME TO REPLACE THE THROTTLE BODY COMPLETELY, WHICH WILL NOW COST ME OVER $800. FORD NEEDS TO TAKE RESPONSIBILITY AND FIX THIS PROBLEM ON THE CAR!!!!!!!! *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 FORD FREESTYLE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE COMING TO A STOP, THE VEHICLE LUNGED FORWARD.

THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE VIN WAS NOT AVAILABLE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS UNKNOWN AND THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 70,000.

VEHICLE LURCHES WHEN BRAKES ARE APPLIED IN FORWARD AND REVERSE. HAPPENED MANY TIMES. THE WRENCH INDICATOR LIGHT CAME ON ALSO WHEN THIS HAPPENED. THIS HAPPENED MANY TIMES WHEN WE FIRST PURCHASED THE VEHICLE. I CHECKS THREADS ON THE INTERNET AND SAW THIS AS A COMMON PROBLEM. I PERSONALLY CLEANED THE THROTTLE BODY AS SHOWN ON YOUTUBE BY A GENTLEMAN AND IT FIXED THE PROBLEM FOR AWHILE. THIS HAPPENED RECENTLY TO MY WIFE AS SHE WAS LEAVING HER WORK PARKING LOT AT LOW SPEED. LURCHED WHEN PUT IN GEAR WITH BRAKES APPLIED. CAR FELT UNCONTROLLABLE. WE SEE THAT AN INVESTIGATION ON THIS PROBLEM HAS BEGUN SO I WOULD CONFER WITH OTHER VEHICLE OWNERS. MORE TIMES AND DATES THAN I CAN REMEMBER THAT LURCHING HAS TAKEN PLACE. ONE TIME I HAD TO SLIP IT INTO NEUTRAL TO STOP THE CAR AND APPLY THE BRAKES. *TR
