Engine Exhaust System Problems of Ford Freestyle

I have a 2007 Ford Freestyle and its just getting worst and worst as the milage goes up. The car seems to have a mind of its own. I cant even use my a/c or heater as this causes the car to lung forward hard and eventually the car cuts off causing ingine and wrench light to cut on. While backing into my parking garage I ran into the builing because the car lunged back by itself, this could be very dangerous, could cause me to hit someone or something very badly. Im afraid to drive my vehicle but dont have any other choice, have to go to work. This is scary, I need help with this. Just bought this car dont have the cash to have it checked out.

I drive a 2006 Ford Freestyle. I would like to report that when the car has been running and it is a hot day when placed in reverse it will accelerate on it's own and then the motor will die causing the check engine light to come one. Typically if I turn it off and wait a few minutes it will come back on light free, but there has been two occasions when it has not. The first I took it for a diagnostics where I was told to take it to Ford that it seemed to be a transmission issue, Ford told me that they were not sure but they cleared out the sensor to give it a good wash if it happened again. It has happened again only this time the engine dying to acceleration ration has increased and a good car wash has not helped the issue. I am becoming very concerned before the acceleration was only in reverse now it is occurring in drive as well and happening more frequently. I have plans to take it to my local Ford dealership however I do not have high hopes for answers as they were not all that helpful the first time.

My 2006 Ford Freestyle will "lunge" into gear in really hot weather. My check engine light came on so I went to autozone. The tech told me it has to do with the throttle body. My car has approx 85,000 miles on it.

2007 Ford Freestyle. Consumer states vehicle had a burning smell and stopped running while driving the consumer stated the catalytic converter was replaced. A few days later, the burning smell returned and the vehicle stopped running. The dealer replaced the catalytic converter again. The consumer stated the catalytic converter was replaced three times. Also, the manifold, gasket and seals had to be replaced because they melted due to heat. Three months later. The oil light illuminated. The service mechanic informed the consumer there was no oil in the engine and he was unable to see any type of leak. The consumer was informed the entire exhaust system needed to be replaced as well as the ignition coil and fans, because the vehicle would probably overheat.

After sitting in park for 20 minutes, my 2006 Ford Freestyle was put into reverse to back out of a driveway and quickly accelerated while my foot was on the brake. After putting the car back in park, the wrench and indicator lights came on the dashboard. I placed the car back into reverse when the vehicle proceeded to accelerate again with my foot on the brake. After backing out of the driveway, the vehicle was put into drive where it proceeded to accelerate without my foot on the accelerator. The vehicle has since been taken to a Ford dealer to be repaired. The dealer states that it is a problem with the exhaust gas recirculation which they are not covering since the vehicle's warranty has expired.

I own a 2007 Ford Freestyle. The car will accelerate or lurch forward when the brake is pressed. It happens when the ac is on and the temperature outside is hot. The car will then idle low and then shut off. The wrench light on the dashboard will light up. Once I restart the car, the wrench light goes off and the car runs normal until I come to a stoplight and then the car lurches forward again. It also happens when you put the car in reverse when the air is on and the outside temperature is hot.
