I HAVE A 2005 FORD FREESTYLE, I HAVE THE SAME PROBLEM WITH THE VEHICLE SUDDENLY LUNGING FORWARDS OR BACKWARDS. JUST OUT OF NO WHERE THE RPMS WILL SURE AND LUNG THE VEHICLE, I HAVE ALMOST CRASHED A FEW TIMES BECAUSE OF IT. I HAVE TRIED TO GET THIS PROBLEM LOOKED AT BY A MECHANIC BUT THERE COMPUTERS WONT READ UNLESS THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT IS ON. IT ALSO HAS STALLED OUT ON ME AT A RED LIGHT AND WHEN I START IT BACK UP IT SAYS ITS IN FAILSAFE MODE, AND WHEN ITS IN FAILSAFE MODE THE ENGINE WONT IDLE UP LIKE IT SUPPOSE TO. TOP SPEED IS LIKE 30MPH.. BUT ONCE YOU TURN THE CAR OFF AND BACK ON AGAIN IT FIXES ITSELF. *TR

VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL
FIRST HAPPENED THE DAY I BOUGHT THE VEHICLE USED WITH 93,000 MILES. I WAS BACKING OUT OF A PARKING SPACE AND THE VEHICLE LUNGED. IT ALSO TURNED OFF. IT DID IT TWICE IN A ROW. THEN NO PROBLEMS FOR ANOTHER FEW HUNDRED MILES. IT DOES IT EVERY TANK OR SO OF GAS. OCCASIONALLY IT WILL BE ACCOMPANIED WITH THE WRENCH LIGHT. I BROUGHT IT TO A LOCAL AUTO SHOP WHEN THE LIGHT WAS ON (PURE LUCK BECAUSE IT TURNS OFF QUICKLY AFTER) AND IT CODED SOMETHING BUT THEN WHEN THE SEARCHED THE CODE IT CAME UP AS NOT MATCHING MY VEHICLE! I AM BRINGING IT TO A DEALERSHIP NEXT WEEK FOR SERVICE BEFORE A LONG ROAD TRIP AND HOPE TO HAVE THE THROTTLE BODY CLEANED. FROM WHAT I GATHER THIS IS A KNOWN AND WIDESPREAD PROBLEM WITH THIS VEHICLE. I REALLY WISH THEY WOULD RECALL IT AND FIX IT! *TR
