2006 Ford Freestyle

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

UPON UTILIZING THE DRIVE THROUGH OF A FAST FOOD RESTAURANT, THE BREAKS WERE BEING FEATHERED TO CREEP UP TO THE WINDOW; THE 2006 FORD FREESTYLE LUNGED FORWARD UNEXPECTEDLY AND ALMOST HIT A WOMEN AND HER KID CROSSING IN FRONT OF THE CAR; I MOVED THE CAR FROM THE DRIVE THROUGH AND STOPPED AT THE EDGE OF THE PARKING LOT BEFORE CONTINUING ONTO THE SIDE STREET; AT THIS TIME WHEN I MOVED MY FOOT OFF THE BREAK THE CAR AGAIN UNEXPECTEDLY LUNGED FORWARD STICKING THE NOSE OF MY CAR OUT INTO TRAFFIC, CARS SWERVED INTO THE FAR LANE TO AVOID COLLIDING WITH THE FRONT OF MY CAR. I IMMEDIATELY BROUGHT THE CAR TO THE FORD SERVICE DEALER. UPON ARRIVING AT THE FORD DEALERSHIP IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE THROTTLE BODY WAS FAILING, ADDITIONAL RESEARCH REVEALED THAT FORD ISSUE AN EXTENDED WARRANTY FOR A CLEANING OF THE THROTTLE BODY; HOWEVER THE DEALERSHIP INDICATED THAT THE THROTTLE BODY NEEDED TO BE REPLACED AS IT IS FAULTY, THE CLEANING WOULDN'T SUFFICE.

MY 2006 FORD FREESTYLE SUFFERS FROM PEELING PAINT ON THE ALUMINUM HOOD. THE PAINT ISSUE IS CONFINED TO THE 3 - 4 INCHES OF HOOD BACK FROM THE LEADING EDGE, THE LEADING EDGE, AND THE UNDERSIDE OF THE HOOD. SAME ISSUE AS ANY FORD PRODUCT WITH ALUMINUM HOODS/LIFTGATES. FORD WOULD NOT FIX THIS ISSUE UNDER WARRANTY EVEN THOUGH THEIR INTERNAL DOCUMENTS DATING BACK TO 2004 CONFIRM THE ISSUE

SAFETY COMPLAINT FOR FORD FREESTYLE 2006. THE WRENCH AND ENGINE LIGHT APPEAR ON THE DASHBOARD AND THE ENGINE GOES TO LIMP MODE AND THE SPEED DROPS TO 30 MILES PER HOUR FROM HIGHWAY SPEED OF 60 TO 70 MILES PER HOUR WITH NO WARNING OTHER THAN THE QUICK DROP IN SPEED AND WRENCH LIGHT. DRIVING ON A HIGHWAY WITH TRUCKS AND CARS GOING 70 MILES PER HOUR OR MORE IS BEYOND DANGEROUS AND ASKING TO GET HIT. WE HAVE HAD FORD SERVICE ON THIS CAR BUT THEY DID NOT HAVE RECALLS FOR THIS PROBLEM. VEHICLE IN MOTION ON HIGHWAY. HAVE HAD CAR TOWED, PULLED OVER TO BREAKDOWN LANE AND TRAVELED SIDE ROADS FOR FEAR OF GETTING HIT BY ANOTHER VEHICLE. PLEASE DO SOMETHING TO FORD CORP TO FIX THIS PROBLEM BEFORE THERE IS TRAGEDY.

ANYTIME IT RAINS MY VEHICLE FILLS WITH WATER. I HAVE MOLD STARTING IN MY VEHICLE. I TOOK IT TO FORD DEALERSHIP FOR RECALL WORK BUT IT STILL LEAKS HORRIBLE BAD. THIS CAR IS MOSTLY STATIONARY. WE HAVE HAD RAIN THE LAST TWO DAYS AND IT HAS BEEN SITTING IN THE DRIVE WAY. I CHECKED IT TODAY AND IT IS FULL OF WATER. THIS HAS HAPPENED SINCE I PURCHASED THE VEHICLE IN 2013
