I OWN A 2006 FORD FREESTYLE AND AS I WAS IN RUSH HOUR TRAFFIC ON A VERY HOT DAY WITH THE A/C ON, MY CAR SUDDENLY LUNGED FORWARD AND I HAD TO SLAM ON BREAKS TO PREVENT A REAR END COLLISION WITH THE CAR IN FRONT OF ME. THE CAR THEN SHUT OFF AND THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT AND WRENCH LIGHT WENT ON. I HAVE TAKEN THE CAR TO A LOCAL MECHANIC FOR DIAGNOSTIC AND RECEIVED CODE FOR A FAULTY THROTTLE BODY. THIS DID NOT SURPRISE ME AS I HAVE HEARD OF THIS PROBLEM FROM OTHER FREESTYLE OWNERS ON EDMONDS WEBSITE. MY CAR HAS 59,000 MILES. THIS A DANGEROUS SITUATION AND THIS CAR SHOULD BE RECALLED FOR THIS! *TR

TRANSMISSION WHILE DRIVING SUDDENLY QUITS AND ALMOST MAKE ME LOST CONTROL AT 70 MPH. I HAVE READ THAT FORD HAD MANY PARTS THAT WERE BAD AND STILL PUT IT IN TRANSMISSIONS WHILE MANUFACTURING TO KEEP UP WITH DEADLINES. *TR
