Engine Cooling System problems of the 2005 Ford Freestyle

I have a 2005 Ford Freestyle since I purchaced the car it eill surge foreard or backward sudenly when istopped and sometimes will sputter and engine lite will come on and will have to be shut off and restarted to get to run right it is getting worse and more often.

Our a/c compressor recently went bad and had to be replaced. We were told by two different Ford dealerships that this was one known problem with Ford Freestyles; the second being a lunging or lurching problem that involves the throttle body which I have also filed a complaint for this issue. We were told that no recall had been issued for the compressor (or the throttle body), but that these were the most common problems with the Freestyle. Interestingly, the throttle body problem seems to be exeracerbated by the a/c, and I virtually had no problems with lurching and lunging until the compressor and other related cooling components were replaced. At that time, the lunging started again with a vengence. These issues seem to be related and costly to repair.

2005 Ford Freestyle-the ac compressor and drier was replaced at about 93,000 miles through the extended warranty. It only cost me 75. 00 . No big deal right. The total bill was nearly 1600. 00 for the warranty company. Now at 125,000 miles, it has gone out again. No warranty. I've to pay. It is going to cost about 1600. 00. Now they can't find a compressor and are back ordered until April of 2011. I have never had a compressor go out on any other car I have owned. Approximately 20 cars in thirty five years of driving. Several with over 250,000 miles. If ac compr. Are on back order, many must be having the same problem. I need help. This is a rip off.

About 2 yrs ago during the beginning of the summer I noticed that my air condition on my 2005 Ford Freestyle was not cooling. Sitting still you will think you have on the heat. I also noticed that on the passenger side it much warmer that than the driver side. Cools ok in the mornings when it is not so hot but later in the day you can forget about the air. I have had the freon check more than once was told it was not low. This year it worst than ever. Before it would start to cool about 20 miles further down the road. Not now! I was told by the mechanic also the the motor brack is broken. What is next. I also had the lunging problem that was fixed, only because it was still under warranty. A car that is only 7 years old sure has had lot of problems.

I have a Ford Freestyle year 2005. It has a throttle body problem. Car has had a problem on and off for a year with it accelerating, jumping forward when I place into drive and sometimes into reverse. I finally had a complete lock out of shifting and car went into safe mode with a wrench symbol on dashboard. This is a $600 dollar repair to fix and it is something internally wrong with the car and dangerous.
