The contact owns a 2005 Ford Freestyle. While driving approximately 45 mph, the vehicle failed to accelerate. The instrument panel illuminated intermittently. The failure recurred several times. The vehicle was taken to an independent mechanic where it was not diagnosed or repaired. The manufacturer was not made aware of the failure. The failure mileage and VIN were unknown.

While driving the wrench light and engine light came on. Lost all power to the accelerator pedal, refused to go above 2k roma. Turned car off and let it sit for fifteen minutes. Turned it back in and lights were still on and car wouldn't accelerate. Replaced the throttle body and the accelerator position sensor. Still giving the same codes and won't allow me to clear the codes. Previous issues with unexpected acceleration in the past. Now the battery won't hold a charge, the lights are coming on when they are all turned off and it seems the electrical system I'd going crazy. It's now February and I'm being told the throttle position sensor needs to be replaced. Since my throttle body had the cold weather system on it that means another throttle body replacement with no guarantee it will fix the issue. I can't drive the car at all. I can't back it out of its parking space without it stalling out and all the lights inside abd headlights flickering. There needs to be a recall. I've spent till much money to keep putting more into it when replacing the parts that have the code issues isn't working.

With the vehicle in gear, either forward or reverse, and with a foot on the break at idle rpm the engine surges causing the vehicle to lurch. Consequently, the vehicle will either stall or the "wrench" light will illuminate and the vehicle will not accelerate to over 30mph while driving the rpm's up well past normal for that rate of speed. This is also the case while at idle speed (no foot on break. . . Just engine in gear and at idle. . . As if pulling into or out of a parking space). This has been ongoing, yet intermittent, for a little over a year though now it's a multiple-daily occurence.
