SUBJECT: 2006 FORD FREESTYLE AGGRESSIVE, UNEXPECTED THRUSTING COMMENTS: I HAVE A 2006 FORD FREESTYLE WITH 60,000 MILES. IT HAS RECENTLY BEGUN TO AGGRESSIVELY THRUST (EITHER FORWARD IN DRIVE OR IN REVERSE IN REVERSE) WHEN PUT INTO GEAR AND HAS DONE THIS IN STOP & GO TRAFFIC AND AFTER MAKING STOPS AT RED LIGHTS/STOP SIGNS. I TOOK THE VEHICLE TO THE FORD DEALER WHERE I PURCHASED THE CAR AND THE ONLY "CODE" THEY GOT WAS FOR AN AIR FILTER. IMMEDIATELY AFTER THE VEHICLE THRUSTS, THE WRENCH LIGHT ILLUMINATES AND THE CAR LOSES POWER (BUT CAN STILL CRAWL ALONG WITH NO STEERING OR BRAKING ASSISTED CONTROL). THE CAR HAS TO BE TURNED OFF & RESTARTED AT WHICH POINT THE PROBLEM DISSIPATES AS IF IT DIDN'T HAPPEN ONLY TO RETURN AGAIN AT ANY UNEXPECTED TIME. ITS FRIGHTENING IN PARKING LOTS, DRIVE THRUS & STOP & GO TRAFFIC BECAUSE YOU JUST DON'T KNOW WHAT THE CAR WILL DO NEXT. I DRIVE WITH 3 SMALL CHILDREN & AM IN FEAR THE CAR IS GOING TO CAUSE AN ACCIDENT. THE CAR IS STILL UNDER WARRANTY WITH FORD BUT THEY SEEM UNWILLING TO ADDRESS THIS VERY REAL, VERY TERRIFYING CONCERN. WHAT DO I DO? *TR
