2005 FORD FREESTYLE SUDDEN ACCELERATION, QUICK ACCELERATION ON ITS OWN DURING IDLE OR AS SOON AS YOU LET GO OF THE BRAKE, DEALER HAS ALREADY LOOKED AT VEHICLE SEVERAL TIMES. THROTTLE BODY, CLEANED, NEW AIRFILTERS HAVE BEEN REPLACED, THIS HAS BEEN AN OCCURRING PROBLEM FOR HE LAST 5 MONTHS VEHICLE HAS 75,000 MILES AND THE DEALER MENTIONED THEY HAVE 6 OTHERS WITH THE SAME PROBLEM. *TR
TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2005 FORD FREESTYLE. THE CONTACT STATED WHILE THE DRIVER WAS STOPPED AT A TRAFFIC STOP WITH THE BRAKES DEPRESSED, THE VEHICLE ABNORMALLY ACCELERATED. SHE CONTINUED DEPRESSING THE BRAKE BUT THE VEHICLE CONTINUED TO ACCELERATE. THE DEALER ADVISED THAT THE THROTTLE BODY WAS MOST LIKELY CAUSING THE FAILURE BUT THE VEHICLE WOULD HAVE TO BE PROPERLY DIAGNOSED. THE VEHICLE WAS NEITHER REPAIRED NOR DIAGNOSED. THE CONTACT STATED THE FAILURE WAS EXPERIENCED SEVERAL TIMES IN THE VEHICLE. THE FAILURE AND CURRENT MILEAGES WERE 36,000.
I CURRENTLY OWN A 2005 FORD FREESTYLE AND NUMEROUS TIMES IT HAS LUNGED WHEN I WAS IN A STOPPING POSITION IN MANY OCCASIONS. WHEN I AM IN THE CAR AND IN DRIVE WITH THE BRAKES ON THE CAR WILL INSTANTLY REV UP AND MOVE FORWARD. ONE OCCASION I WAS AT A DRIVE THRU AND THE VEHICLE ACTUALLY HIT A POLE IN THE DRIVE THREW. ANOTHER TIME, MY WIFE WAS WALKING AROUND THE FRONT OF THE CAR AND THE CAR LUNGED FORWARD AND HIT MY WIFE. THIS IS A VERY DANGEROUS PROBLEM. I HAVE READ ONLINE THAT THIS IS HAPPENING ALL OVER THE UNITED STATES AND ONE PERSON HIT SOMEONE IN THE GROCERY STORE PARKING LOT. AT TIMES THE CAR WILL NOT RESPOND WHEN THE GAS IS PUSHED. I WILL PUSH THE GAS TO THE FLOOR AND THE CAR WILL ONLY GO 3-7 MILES AN HOUR. AFTER READING MANY COMPLAINTS ABOUT THIS IT SEEMS THAT IT IS THE THROTTLE BODY ON THE FORD FREESTYLE. FORTUNATELY MY WIFE DID NOT GET SERIOUSLY HURT, JUST A MINOR BRUISE, HOWEVER I FORESEE SOMETHING HAPPENING. NUMEROUS PEOPLE HAVE TRIED TO REPLACE THE THROTTLE BODY BUT FORD STATES THIS PRODUCT IS ON BACK ORDER AND IS UNKNOWN WHEN IT WILL ARRIVE. I BELIEVE THIS IS A DEFECT OF FORDS VEHICLES AND SHOULD BE TAKEN CARE OF BEFORE SOMEONE IS SERIOUSLY INJURED. *TR
I HAVE A 2005 FORD FREESTYLE AND WHEN IN FORWARD GEAR AT IDLE IT WILL SURGE FORWARD WITHOUT PRESSING THE ACCELERATOR. THIS PROBLEM IS WORSE IN THE SUMMER I BELIEVE DUE TO A/C IN USE. THIS SURGING ALSO HAPPENS WHEN YOU TURN THE STEERING WHEEL. I BELIEVE THIS TO BE THE ENGINE CONTROL COMPUTER TRYING TO MAINTAIN ENGINE IDLE SPEED BUT IT OVER COMPENSATES FOR THE LOAD OF THE AC OR POWER STEERING LOAD. THIS SURGING HAS MANY TIMES CAUSED CLOSE CALLS IN DRIVE THRUS AND PARKING. *TR
THROTTLE SURGES WHEN IN REVERSE. THIS HAS HAPPENED FOR ABOUT A MONTH AND A HALF OFF AND ON. NOW STARTING TO SURGE A LITTLE WHEN IN DRIVE. WHEN YOUR FOOT IS ON THE BRAKE AND NOT ON THE GAS, THE CAR TRIES TO ACCELERATE. *TR

WHEN ACTIVATING THE AIR CONDITIONER, THE VEHICLE WOULD EXHIBIT AN UNUSUAL INCREASE IN ENGINE RPMS. SPORADICALLY, THE VEHICLE WOULD SURGE FORWARD WHEN THE FAILURE WOULD OCCUR. THE FIRST TIME THIS HAPPEN THE CAR HAD 40,000 MILES ON IT. IT SEEMS TO HAPPEN DURING THE SUMMER MONTHS ONLY WHILE IT IS HOT, WENT TO LOCAL DEALER AND THEY SAID IT WAS THE THROTTLE BODY. I HAVE NOTICE THAT THERE ARE SEVERAL COMPLAINTS ON THIS ISSUE. I T SEEMS TO BE VERY DANGEROUS WHEN THIS HAPPENS. I CAN'T BELIEVE THAT THE CAR DOESN'T HAVE A RECALL ON THIS ISSUE.

MY 2005 FORD FREESTYLE WITH 45,000 MILES KEPT SURGING FORWARD. IT HAPPENED TWICE IN 2 MONTHS WHEN I WAS ALONE. THIS PAST JULY I PICKED MY GRANDCHILDREN UP AT CAMP SURE ENOUGH IT DID IT AGAIN ALMOST STRIKING A CHILD IN THE PARKING LOT.

I HAD MY 92 YR OLD FRIEND IN MY 2005 FORD FREESTYLE 500. I AM 41. WE HAD JUST LEFT THE HARDWARE STORE. I PUT THE VEHICLE IN REVERSE. ( I JUST BOUGHT THE VEHICLE FROM KENNY ROSS FORD AS A USED VEHICLE IN NOV. 2009.) THE VEHICLE ACCELERATED AS SOON AS THE TRANSMISSION KICKED IN AND IT THREW US BACKWARDS INTO THE PARKING LOT. I SLAMMED ON THE BRAKES BUT AT THE SAME TIME THE CAR STALLED AND I HAD NO BRAKES. I STOOD ON THE BRAKE PEDDLE AND FINALLY CAME TO A STOP APPROXIMATELY 20 FEET BACK INTO THE PARKING AREA. MY 92 YEAR OLD FRIEND WAS SHAKEN SO VERY BADLY I FEARED A HEART ATTACK. IF I WERE OLDER AND NOT SO STRONG, WE COULD HAVE BEEN KILLED... GARAGE SAID THROTTLE BODY ISSUE. I CAME HOME AFTER TELLING HIM I FELT AS IF I WERE DRIVING A TOYOTA, AND HE SAID IT WASN'T COVERED UNDER MY POWERTRAIN WARRANTY AND IT WOULD BE $879.00 TO FIX. I HAVEN'T EVEN OWNED IT FOR A YEAR YET. ARE YOU KIDDING ME. NOW I AM SCARED TO DRIVE IT. *TR
I HAVE A 2005 FORD FREESTYLE. IT SURGES FORWARD AT LOW IDLE. I HAVE TAKEN IT TO THE DEALER, BUT THEY CAN'T FIND ANYTHING. I HAVE ABOUT RAN THROUGH STOREFRONTS, MY GARAGE, AND ABOUT HIT PARKED CARS.

I HAVE FOUND THAT THERE ARE PROBLEMS WITH THE THROTTLE BODYS ON THE FREESTYLES, BUT THE DEALER DENIES IT. *TR
THE THROTTLE BODY ON OUR 2005 FORD FREESTYLE MUST BE REPLACED. WHILE DRIVING TODAY, 7/31/10, OUR CAR WENT INTO "ENGINE FAILSAFE MODE" 8 TIMES, 8 TIMES!, WHILE DRIVING ON THE INTERSTATE AND ON A SC/NC STATE HIGHWAY. FORTUNATELY WE WERE ABLE TO FIND A SAFE PLACE TO PULL OVER EACH TIME. WE HAVE BEEN ON A WAITING LIST FOR 2 WEEKS FOR A $600 PART, AND MUST NOW RENT A CAR. I HAVE NOTICED MANY ONLINE COMPLAINTS REGARDING THIS ISSUE THAT DATE BACK SEVERAL YEARS. THIS IS A SERIOUS SAFETY ISSUE AND I AM HOPING THAT THE NHTSA WILL FINALLY ENCOURAGE THE FORD MOTOR COMPANY TO ISSUE A RECALL ON THIS. THANKS. *TR

2005 FORD FREESTYLE HAS PROBLEMS WITH THROTTLE BODY - WHICH APPEARS TO BE A VERY COMMON PROBLEM. WHY NO RECALL FROM FORD? *TR
WE BOUGHT A NEW 2005 FORD FREESTYLE IN OCTOBER 2005. WE HAD NO PROBLEMS UNTIL OUR 3 YEAR WARRANTY EXPIRED IN OCTOBER 2008. BEGINNING IN 2009 WE BEGAN TO NOTICE THAT OUR INSTRUMENT PANEL WOULD LOSE POWER. ALL DIALS WOULD GO DOWN TO ZERO, FLICKER AND THE ENTIRE PANEL WOULD BE DEAD FOR A SHORT TIME. IT HAPPENED INTERMITTENTLY AND WE LIVED WITH IT FOR A YEAR BEFORE TAKING THE VEHICLE BACK TO THE SAN LEANDRO, CA FORD DEALER, PAYING $250 FOR AN ENGINE DIAGNOSTIC IN JANUARY 2009. THE DIAGNOSTIC WHICH TOOK ALL DAY, REVEALED THAT THERE WAS A SHORT IN A WIRE IN THE INSTRUMENT PANEL WHICH MEANT THE PANEL WOULD HAVE TO BE REPLACED IN ITS ENTIRETY ($700). NOT HAVING THE $700 TO PAY FOR THE SOLUTION I CAME HOME TO DO SOME RESEARCH. I FOUND THAT PER FORD TSB 06-17-9 ALL FORD DEALERSHIPS WERE TOLD ABOUT THIS DEFECT. IT WAS INVESTIGATED BY THE NHTSA AND BECAUSE THE PROBLEM DID NOT INVOLVE THE OPERATION OF THE EXTERIOR FUNCTIONS OF THE VEHICLE, THERE WAS NO RECALL. I WOULD LIKE TO KNOW WHY FORD MC IS TAKING $250 FROM ITS CUSTOMERS TO DIAGNOSE A PROBLEM THAT IT ALREADY KNEW ABOUT. ALSO, IF IT WERE YOUR VEHICLE, WOULD YOU BE SATISFIED IN PAYING $700 FOR A REPLACEMENT PART THAT FORD READILY ADMITS TO HAVING BEEN SOLDERED INCORRECTLY DURING THE MANUFACTURING PROCESS? I CAN TESTIFY THAT THERE IS A SAFETY ISSUE INVOLVED HERE. WHEN DRIVING HOME FROM YOSEMITE NP AT NIGHT, ALONG STEEP MOUNTAIN ROADS, MY FAMILY OF 4 CHILDREN, MOM AND DAD NEARLY DROVE OFF THE ROAD WHEN OUR ENTIRE CABIN WENT DARK BECAUSE
I WAS DRIVING MY CAR (PULLING OUT OF A MALL) APPROACHING THE HIGHWAY, I STOPPED FOR TRAFFIC TO CLEAR. WITH MY FOOT ON THE BRAKE, MY CAR SUDDENLY LEAPT FORWARD TOWARD TRAFFIC. THINKING THAT MAYBE I DIDN'T HAVE MY BRAKE PEDAL PUSHED HARD ENOUGH (SCARING ME) I PUSHED MY FOOT HARDER ON THE BRAKE PEDAL. BUT THE CAR KEPT LURCHING FORWARD. LUCKILY THE TRAFFIC CLEARED & I PROCEEDED ONTO THE HIGHWAY. THEN, THE CAR DIDN'T SEEM TO MOVE, SO I PRESSED THE GAS PEDAL A LITTLE HARDER. THE CAR ACTED LIKE IT WAS IN NEUTRAL, THEN MOVED FORWARD VERY SLOWLY. I PUSHED THE GAS PEDAL HARDER, AND AGAIN, THE CAR ACTED LIKE IT WAS IN NEUTRAL, THEN FINALLY MOVED FORWARD VERY SLOWLY. TRAFFIC WAS COMING FROM BEHIND SO I KEPT GOING FORWARD. LUCKILY THE FORD DEALERSHIP WAS JUST A COUPLE BLOCKS AWAY (AROUND THE CORNER). SO I DROVE IT VERY CAREFULLY STRAIGHT TO THE DEALERSHIP SERVICE DEPARTMENT. AT MOST I WAS GOING ABOUT 30-35 MILES PER HOUR. THE DEALERSHIP SAYS THE PROBLEM IS THE THROTTLE BODY NEEDS TO BE REPLACED. THEY HAVE TO ORDER PARTS. LUCKILY MY EXTENDED WARRANTY IS IN EFFECT, SO IT'S SUPPOSED TO BE COVERED, EXCEPT FOR A $100. DEDUCTIBLE. (PLUS WE"LL NEED TO PAY CHARGES TO HAVE THE PARTS SHIPPED ASAP). TODAY, MY HUSBAND CHECKED ONLINE AND FOUND THAT THIS HAS BEEN AN ONGOING PROBLEM WITH FORD FREESTYLE'S. THIS IS ABSOLUTELY DANGEROUS! MY CAR COULD EASILY HAVE LURCHED OUT INTO HEAVY 40-45 MILE PER HR TRAFFIC, IF I HADN'T HAD FAST REFLEXES! OR IF I HAD PULLED OUT IN FRONT OF THE HIGHER SPEED TRAFFIC I COU
JUST AFTER PLACING CAR INTO REVERSE, IT STARTED ACCELERATING BACKWARDS AND REQUIRED HIGH PRESSURE ON THE BRAKE PEDAL TO STOP IT. THIS IS THE 3RD OR 4TH TIME THIS HAS HAPPENED. THE FIRST TIME OR 2, I THOUGHT IT WAS ME. EACH TIME I LOOKED DOWN AT MY FOOT TO MAKE SURE I WAS NOT PRESSING BOTH PEDALS AND I WAS NOT (I'M A HIGH-SPEED DRIVING INSTRUCTOR). THE LAST TIME IT HAPPENED, I APPLIED FULL BRAKE PRESSURE, THE ENGINE STALLED AND THE MESSAGE "ENGINE FAILSAFE MODE" APPEARED ON THE WARNING CLUSTER. WE'VE STOPPED DRIVING THE CAR UNTIL IT'S FIXED. MANY MANY PEOPLE ARE REPORTING THROTTLE BODY ISSUES. THIS IS DANGEROUS. *TR
FAILURE OF THROTTLE BODY ALMOST CAUSED MULTIPLE ACCIDENTS WITHIN 1 DAY (JULY 23, 2010). WAITING TO PULL OUT OF GAS STATION, THE CAR TOOK OFF WHILE MY FOOT WAS ON THE BRAKE AND PUT MYSELF AND MY FAMILY INTO ONCOMING TRAFFIC! ON THE SAME DAY, I WAS REVERSING OUT OF A PARKING SPOT AND THE CAR AGAIN ACCELERATED BY ITSELF AND I ALMOST HIT THE PARKED CAR BEHIND ME. THE CAR HAS 79,000 MILES. AT ABOUT 36,000 MILES, I HAD SAME PROBLEMS AND THE DEALER FIXED. I RESEARCHED FORUMS ON THE INTERNET AND FOUND THAT SEVERAL OTHER FAMILIES HAVING SIMILAR PROBLEMS. THIS IS VERY DANGEROUS!!! *TR
2005 FORD FREESTYLE WHILE STOPPED A TRAFFIC LIGHT SUDDENLY ACCELERATED WITHOUT ANYTHING TOUCHING THE GAS PEDAL. I HAD TO APPLY A LOT OF PRESSURE TO THE BRAKE TO PREVENT THE VEHICLE FROM ENTERING THE INTERSECTION. THE VEHICLE THEN DIED AND WHEN RESTARTED THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT AND WRENCH SYMBOL WERE LIT UP. I TOOK THE VEHICLE TO THE DEALER WHO SAID IT WAS DUE TO A FAILED THROTTLE BODY. IT HAS BEEN 6 DAYS AND THE VEHICLE HAS NOT BEEN REPAIRED DUE TO NO PARTS AVAILABLE AND FROM WHAT I AM SEEING ON THE INTERNET THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM AND I THINK IT COULD CAUSE SERIOUS ACCIDENTS IF THE PROBLEM IS NOT RESOLVED. *TR

MY 2005 FORD FREESTYLE BEGAN JERKING BACKWARDS WHILE IN REVERSE TO THE POINT THAT I COULD NOT CONTROL THE DIRECTIONS OR SPEED THE CAR WAS GOING. THIS WAS ESPECIALLY DANGEROUS BACKING OUT OF PARKING SPACES. TODAY WHILE BACKING OUT OF A SPOT MY CAR JERKED BACK SEVERAL TIMES THEN WOULD NOT SWITCH IN TO DRIVE AND STALLED. AFTER RESTARTING, THE CAR WENT INTO DRIVE AND I PULLED OUT ON TO A BUSY STREET. THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT THEN CAME ON AND THE CAR WOULD NOT GO ABOVE 30 MPH. I HAD TO QUICKLY PULL OVER SO I DIDN'T GET HIT AND KILLED AND SHUT THE CAR OFF AND RESTARTED IT. THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT DID NOT COME BACK ON BUT I WENT TO AUTO ZONE TO GET IT DIAGNOSED. THE CODES CAME BACK SAYING SOMETHING ABOUT AN INTERNAL MODULE AND THE TAC SWITCH. I TRIED BACKING OUT OF THE PARKING SPOT AT AUTO ZONE AND THE CAR WOULD JERK BACKWARDS AND THEN STALL. I HAVE NOT SUCCESSFULLY FOUND ANY INFORMATION ON EXACTLY WHAT IS WRONG AND HOW TO FIX IT. *TR
