2006 FORD FREESTYLE. APPROX: 65,000 MILES. WRENCH LIGHT CAME ON; SINCE THEN THE VEHICLE AT TIMES WILL LURCH FORWARD WITH JUST A LITTLE BIT OF GAS OR IF YOU ARE NOT PUSHING THE BRAKE COMPLETELY DOWN. THE RPMS RUN REALLY HIGH WITH JUST A LITTLE BIT OF GAS OR JUST AT IDLE. CAR LURCHES FORWARD WHEN SHIFTING FROM PARK TO DRIVE. WHEN TRYING TO GET ON THE FREEWAY, CAR WILL BARELY GET GOING. I AM ASSUMING THIS IS THE THROTTLE BODY PROBLEM THAT ALL THE FORD FREESTYLES SEEM TO BE HAVING. ALSO NOTICED THAT IT SEEMS TO OCCUR MORE OFTEN WHILE SITTING AT AN IDLE FOR JUST A FEW MINUTES. HAVE NOT HAD REPAIRS YET, AS THIS PART IS VERY COSTLY AND I AM JUST LEARNING NOW THAT THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM WITH FORD FREESTYLE. *TR
