2007 Ford Freestyle

I LEFT WORK AT 8:10 P.M. STARTING DRIVING HOME AND MY BATTERY LIGHT CAME ON WHILE DRIVING ON A MAJOR HIGHWAY AND THEN EVERYTHING SHUT DOWN RADIO A.C. ALL GAUGES WINDOWS POWER LOCKS LIGHTS . I WAS PANICKED I HAD JUST PICKED UP THE CAR THE AFTERNOON BEFORE FROM THE FORD DEALERSHIP FOR A RECALL FIX BECAUSE THIS SAME THING HAPPENED ALREADY I WAS TOLD THE RECALL FIX WOULD SOLVE THE PROBLEM OBVIOUSLY IT DID NOT. NOW FORD WANTS TO CHARGE A DIAGNOSTIC FEE TO FIND THE PROBLEM AFTER FAILING TO FIX THE PROBLEM TO BEGIN WITH . THIS IS A REAL SAFETY ISSUE AND SHOULD BE DEALT WITH I AM A MOM AND A GRAND MOTHER AND ALWAYS HAVE A CHILD IN MY CAR THIS ISSUE SHOULD BE A GREAT CONCERN TO FORD .

CAR ACCELERATING WHEN AC IN ON AND AFTER AC HAS BEEN OF AFTER THAT 1 DAY USE. AC NOT WORKING PROPERTY. SENSOR ISSUES. ELECTRICAL ISSUES, EXAMPLE WINDOW NO LONGER ROLLS DOWN. TAKEN IT TO DIFFERENT MECHANICS BUT THEY CAN'T FIND THE PROBLEM. KNOW IT'S TURNING OFF ALL IN A SUDDEN AND HAVING ISSUES WITH THE CAR BRAKES TO KICK IN. HAD THAT CHECK BUT THEY SAID EVERYTHING IS GOOD, BRAKES AND ETC.... HAVE ALREADY PUT AROUND $5,000 AND STILL NOT GETTING IT TO WORK SAFELY. ALSO STEARING WHEEL GETS STUCK AS IF YOU CAN'T TURN THE WHEELS ON THE CAR AND THEN TURNS OF AFTER SECONDS.

THE FRONT PASSENGER STRETCHED HIS LEGS AND MANAGED TO KICK THE EXPOSED FUEL SHUT OFF SWITCH UNDER THE GLOVE BOX AND ABOVE THE RIGHT SIDE KICK PANEL WHICH DISABLED THE CAR TRAFFIC AND IT WOULD NOT RESTART. THE DRIVER WAS ABLE TO COAST OF THE ROAD AND WAS PICKED UP BY AAA. HAVE THERE BEEN ANY OTHER REPORTS OF THIS EVENT. THE CAR WAS ON THE RIGHT SIDE OF AN INTERSTATE. HAD IT BEEN IN THE LEFT LANE THERE COULD HAVE BEEN A SERIOUS ACCIDENT. DO YOU HAVE ANY REPORTS OF SUCH AN EVENT. I HAVE NOT BEEN ABLE TO LOCATE ANY AT THIS POINT.

I HAVE TWO 2007 FORD ONE IS A FREESTYLE AND THE OTHER IS A SPORT TRAC AND THEY ARE HAVING THE SAME PROBLEM. THE INSIDE LIGHTS COME ON AND OFF BY THEMSELVES. THEY STAY ON FOR A FEW MINUTES THEN THEY CLICK BACK OFF THEN BACK ON AND OFF AGAIN. THE FREESTYLE DOES NOT HAVE A AUTO SWITCH FOR THE LIGHTS BUT THE SPORT TRAC DOES. IT HAPPENS ALL THE WHILE THAT YOU ARE DRIVING WHICH IN THE STATE OF TEXAS IF THE INSIDE LIGHTS ARE ON WHILE DRIVING YOU CAN GET A TICKET.

HELICOPTER NOISE STARTED IN DECEMBER 2014. YOU HEAR THE WHIRLING SOUND IN PARK NEUTRAL AND REVERSE- SOUNDS FINE IN DRIVE. DRIVING FINE. NO LOSS OF POWER THIS VEHICLE GETS DRIVEN ABOUT 100 MILES A DAY. LAST WEEK HAD DEALER LOOK AND TELL ME THE TORQUE CONVERTER ABOUT TO BREAK. CAN ONLY FIX IT WITH COMPLETE NEW TRANNY INSTALL. $6300!!! TOOK IT TO INDEPENDENT TRANSMISSION GUY AND TELLS ME SAME THING WITH LOWER PRICE. 2 HOURS LATER AFTER I STOPPED CAR AND WENT INTO STORE AND STARTED CAR UP AND THE WRENCH WAS LIT UP ON DASH. NO POWER. REVVING REALLY HIGH. BUCKING AND UNDRIVEABLE. GOT A CODE READER AND CODE P042-HYDRAULIC PRESSURE UNIT CAME UP LET CAR SIT FOR 30 MINS THEN TURNED CAR ON AND WRENCH DISPLAY GONE! MOVED CAR OUT OF ROAD TO SAFETY AND THERE IT SITS. SHOULD I BE FIXING A CAR THAT CANNOT BE GUARANTEED TO NEVER DO THIS AGAIN AS ALL CVT TRANSMISSIONS DO THIS? HOW CAN FORD BE OK WITH THIS? MY VEHICLE IS AMAZING AND ROOMY AND SAFE AND I HATE TO THINK ITS READY FOR THE JUNKYARD AT 140K. SO DISAPPOINTED WITH FORD. PLEASE JOIN ME IN HOPES THAT FORD WILL STEP UP TO THE PLATE AND ACKNOWLEDGE THIS. *JS
