2006 FORD FREESTYLE TRANSMISSION AND THROTTLE CONTROL PROBLEMS. BOUGHT THIS VEHICLE USED WITH 99K MILES, DAYS AFTER BUYING MULTIPLE PROBLEMS APPEARED. FIRST THE THROTTLE BODY FAILED, VEHICLE WOULD ACCELERATE AND DECELERATE RANDOMLY WHILE DRIVING AND IDLING IN GEAR. THE VEHICLE WAS AT DEALER FOR TWO WEEKS GETTING IT REPAIRED. THEY REPLACED THROTTLE BODY CONTROL TWICE BEFORE PROBLEM WAS ELIMINATED. SECOND THE CVT TRANSMISSION FAILED, WRENCH AND TRACTION CONTROL LIGHTS WOULD COME ON AND VEHICLE WOULD LOSE ALL DRIVE POWER, WOULD DO IT ABOUT EVERY 10 MILES EVENTUALLY BEFORE THE DEALER FINALLY AGREED THE TRANSMISSION WAS BAD. THEY REBUILT IT TWICE AND STILL HAD SAME PROBLEM, THEY TOOK IT TO A TRANSMISSION SHOP FINALLY TO HAVE IT REPAIRED. VEHICLE WAS IN THE SHOP OVER A MONTH FOR THIS. I DO NOT LOOK FORWARD TO FUTURE REPAIR COST KNOWING THAT THIS WILL CONTINUE TO BE A PROBLEM SINCE FORD NOR THE NHTSA WILL DO A [XXX]THING ABOUT IT. THANK YOU FORD AND THANK YOU NHTSA, LOOKS LIKE THE LITTLE GUY/TAXPAYER TAKES IT IN THE REAR AGAIN! INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6).*TR

MY 2006 FREESTYLE WILL INTERMITTENTLY ACCELERATE WHEN STOPPED OR GOING AT LOW SPEEDS. THIS HAPPENS AT REDLIGHTS, CARPOOL LINE, OR ANYWHERE I AM IDLE. IT HAPPENS ON OCCASION WHILE IN REVERSE. I HAVE TRIED SOME OF THE FUEL INJECTION CLEANERS AND WILL BE TAKING IT TO BE LOOKED AT TODAY AFTER A SCARE AT AN INTERSECTION WHERE IT REVVED UP AND STALLED. I HAVE SEEN MANY POST ABOUT IT BEING THE THROTTLE BODY BUT I FOR ONE CAN'T AFFORD A PROBLEM THAT SEEMS TO BE ER RELATED. IT IS A SAFETY CONCERN FOR ME RIGHT NOW AS I WAS ALMOST HIT AT THE INTERSECTION. THIS HAS BEEN GOING ON/OFF FOR A FEW MONTHS AND AT FIRST IT WAS SO SLIGHT I DID NOT NOTICE. OF NOTE, MY AIR COMPRESSOR NEEDS TO BE REPLACED AND I HAVE READ THAT THESE PROBLEMS SEEM TO GOING HAND IN HAND. *TR
