PUT CAR IN REVERSE AND AS SOON AS THE BRAKE WAS RELEASED THE CAR JUMPED BACK AS IF I HAD QUICKLY PRESSED ON THE ACCELERATOR. I QUICKLY APPLIED THE BRAKE AND THEN THE CAR SHUT ITSELF OFF. SINCE JULY 12 I HAVE HAD A FEW OTHER INSTANCES BOTH WHEN PUTTING THE CAR IN REVERSE AND WHEN THE CAR WAS IN DRIVE. I WAS WAITING IN A LINE WITH THE BRAKES APPLIED. AS I LIFTED MY FOOT OFF THE BRAKE TO IDLE FORWARD THE CAR JUMPED FORWARD WITH A QUICK BURST OF ACCELERATION AND RESULTING IN ALMOST HITTING THE CAR IN FRONT OF ME.

2007 FORD FREESTYLE THAT LUNGES FORWARD OR BACKWARD DEPENDING ON WHAT GEAR IT IS IN. I SAW WHERE FORD WAS LOOKING INTO THIS FOR A POSSIBLE RECALL, MINE DOES THIS ON OCCASION. BUT 5/30/11 MINE DID IT VERY BADLY AND THE CAR DIED. THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT AND TRANSMISSION LIGHT BOTH CAME ON. I DID GET THE CAR STARTED AND BACK INTO A PARKING SPOT, WITH IT LUNGING FORWARD AND MY FOOT ON THE BRAKE. THE CAR IS AT CARMAX NOW AS I HAD BOUGHT THE EXTENDED WARRANTY THEY OFFER. WAITING ON THE OUTCOME. *TR
