The vehicle on a very hot day 95 degrees out with the a/c on high was put into reverse with foot on the brake and the car surged backwards and went into saftey mode. Had to drive the car home in saftey mode. My wife says it happend a few times to her also. The upper motor mount on the engine has totally fell apart, the rubber bushing dried out and is gone. Called Ford and they told me the part is $230. 00.
2007 Ford Freestyle car riddled with mold from constant water leaks everywhere in the body frame. Never been in accident, out of warranty. I'm 3 months pregnant with a 2 yr old. I can not even drive car makes me sick. Dealer wants alot of money to try and fix the problem, but considering the mold is everywhere I'm not so sure it will solve problem, I have had the car for 10 months and paid 17,500 for it. It is clearly a design flaw I'm not the only one with this problem. It is a huge health issue, and I can not understand why Ford has not issued a recall.
