Fuel Injection Problems of Ford Freestyle

Car surges when idling. Seems more in hot weather but am told it is the throttle body that has to be replaced and is a known problem with all of them for 6-7 years now.

See all problems of the 2006 Ford Freestyle 🔎.

I was parked with car running for about 10 mins. When I went to back up the car, the car lunged backwards while my foot was still engaged on the brake. Car stalled but I was able to re-start car. Wrench and engine lights were on. I drove the car home but the fuel injection was labored and did not accellerate normally and would also accellerate unexpectedly while sitting at traffic light. I was able to get the car home, but check engine light was still lit after several days.

When I run my a/c in my 2006 Ford Freestyle and will be trying to back up my car will shut off and my check engine light will come on. Today while driving forward my car sputtered and the orange wrench light came on. Once I stopped I turned off the car and it turned back on and the lights stayed off. I drove home without any problems but I was not using the a/c. I only notice it when I drive with the a/c on which it is summer so it has been happening quite frequently. Sometimes when I am driving through town with stop lights it will lurch forward and I am afraid I am going to hit the car in front of me or even someone walking in front of me. I took the car to walmart with the check engine light on before while getting my oil changed and they recommended me to use fuel injection cleaner and it seems to make the check engine light go off but does not help my backing up and shutting off problem or my going forward and the car lurching. I am afraid that driving with 4 children under the age of 10 that something will happen with them in the car.
