(not only with the freestyles but also with other ford cars.) we drive our families around in these cars, and like mine we had no warning. my husband checks these types of things every 1 or 2 months and so far has found no scaring on the rotors. on the same day we hear an unusual noise we find that the rotors need replacing! this is a serious (and expensive) issue that needs addressing. since ford is not willing to publicly admit the problem or offer assistance in having it fixed, i am asking that you all look into this. i have not heard of any deaths being caused from this issue. i have heard everyone say that they've had their brakes and rotors checked within a couple of days of hearing the strange noise. however, i would hate for someone to ignore this warning and be injured. i certainly don't want anyone in my family injured due to this. since this is a safety issue please do something to help the owners of these cars!!!! *tr.0 person(s) were injured. 0 person(s) died.Mileage was 24000 miles.

Ford Freestyle 2007 Vehicle Speed ControlFord Freestyle 2007 Vehicle Speed Control Review #10362388 FORD FREESTYLE 2007 car safety problem was reported on June 01, 2010.FORD FREESTYLE 2007, manufactured by FORD MOTOR COMPANY had a problem with VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL . i noticed that my car began to have a mind of its own, it wanted to accelerate when i had my foot on the brake. more noticeably at a drive-thru when the vehicle would be at a stop and would lunge forward harshly as if i had hit accelerator, i would have to slam on the brake to make it stop. have almost hit vehicle in front of me on occasion - thank goodness nobody was walking in front of me. the lunge was as if i had hit the gas pedal. this problem continually got worse and it seemed having the a/c on was a factor. i say that because i noticed the problem a time or two at the end of the summer in 09 and it went away until the summer of 10. also noticed when backing up sometimes the vehicle would just abruptly cut off. i carried the vehicle to the local ford dealer and they quickly diagnosed a problem with the throttle body and apparently i wasn't the first! the part was on back order for weeks (says alot in itself). thank god i purchased the extended warranty, otherwise this would have cost close to $1,000 for repair and car rental. had it not been for that i guess i would have continued to drive an unsafe vehicle because i didn't have $1,000 for the repair. this makes me wonder how many cases are out there like mine and aren't being repaired because it is not affordable. this is a huge danger and i hope ford will recall before someone is seriously injured! i did investigate my problem on-line after its diagnosis and found that there are a great deal of people complaining. this is a problem - fortunately it appears to be from a stop and not at a high speed like the toyota problem. none the less still a danger! i notice that this form asks about fire/damage/crash/death or injuries - please encourage ford to address this before anyone has to answer yes. *tr.Vehicle Identification Number (VIN):1FMZK021X7G.

(this is a very scary scenario). my husband took the car to the ford dealership soon thereafter where we were told after a few days of diagnostics that the car had no identifiable issues. the problem has never 'corrected' itself and has worsened. i have had several 'near misses' for traffic accidents as a result. i have a very real and scary problem and i feel my children are at risk. *tr.Ford Freestyle 2007 problem was reported in RICHARDSON, TX.

Ford Freestyle 2007 Reports
my 95 ford exploere engine surges when turn my air conditioner on Ihave a 1994 ford probe which has started to idle very low and stalls at times. It is a 4 cyl. w/ air and a 5 speed. any ideas? I replaced the fuel filter, air flow meter and added HEAT to gas tank to dry and clean fuel system. I think my pcv valv should a standard transmission truck start when it is in gear without the clucth engaged? should a 2005 standard transmission ford ranger start when in gear without the clutch engaged? 96 Ford F250 Emergency brake lever gets caught on the auto adjustment spring, causing brakes to be permanently engaged, also allowing the parking break lever to rub against the hub, which can cut through over time. try pushing the pedals button closer to you. you must have the pedal adjustment button to the left of the radio, looks like a foot, that brings the pedals more inward towards the driver. hope it helped. or look carefully if a wire has corroded. it i would check ur multi switch on ur stearing colum on the pedal whats the sound Just bought an '06 E-350 van. Left d'ship got on highway and noticed shimmy when I got to 60....same problem???? that happened to me last night! If you rock the car back and for while shifting then it should release the safety lock! why does it take turning off the veh. while pulling in on the shifter arm, them starting it again while still holding it inwards ever so slightly??
