I was sold a vehicle without being told that there was a recall. Instead he told me it was just some rattling that was coming from something loose and not important. Its rattling like crazy under my car. I looked up recalls for it and there is an important recall that needs to be fixed on it. Please. It can harm my newborn child and melt wires and is gonna cost so much money that I don't have to fix it. This is my only car. Please. Its a 2005 Ford Freestyle and there is a recall for it on exactly what its been doing. Everytime I drive it feels like it's gonna fall apart and inside the cab is getting hott and harmful fumes are coming into the cab. Its dangerous. The heat shield is broken I guess.

I was driving on the highway when suddenly the vehicle started surging and was losing power last Wednesday 11/13/19. Another time, was with my whole family, the ac, cruise control, and car stereo was on when suddenly the vehicle lost power all of a sudden. I got scared because I did not want to get into an accident particularly on the highway. Ford motors please, do something about my vehicle. Also, the vehicle does not stop when it should every time I apply the breaks. Whether on the streets, the highway, making turns, and at a stoplight, it always goes an extra distance before actually coming to a full stop. The brake pads are all oem from the Ford dealer in my town. I'm always worried that my vehicle will one day give me the slip and get me into a vehicular accident. Ford motors, we only have one vehicle in my family and preventing a possible vehicular accident is something your company can do especially when you have the capability and the means to do so.

Hello, I was driving 60 mph on us highway 2, driving from snohomish, wa to monroe, wa, which is a 2 lane highway with no median (death highway) suddenly, the car seemed to lunge and I lost acceleration with the yellow service wrench dash light coming on. My speed significantly decreased and the car pulled at the same time. Rpm's jumped to 5000+ but I was dropping speed. I avoided the car coming up behind me and the oncoming traffic by quickly pulling into an area on the side of the highway. This was a very scary experience that could have turned out very badly if I would have been hit from behind and pushed into oncoming traffic. I sat on the side of the road, stunned for 5-10 minutes, not knowing what happened. It had also happened once earlier that day at much lower speeds and then seemed to reset itself. Again the wrench light reset and I was able to pull out onto the highway and drive to a transmission shop for diagnosis. As of now, I don't know exactly what the damage may be other than I'm being told it's a bad transmission and that I need a new one, with really no guarantee that the same thing won't happen again. Since this incident I have done a great deal of research on this car and specifically the 05-07 Ford Freestyle with this cvt. It is nothing but problems how can Ford get away this and why hasn't this transmission been recalled and Ford made to finally resolve the issue safely or made to reimburse all affected parties the purchase price of the severely unsafe vehicle. I am thankful that I had a place to turn off, rather than the potential of an accident on that highway!! no physical injury, but definitely an emotionally charged event!! thank you.

This is a complaint about the cvt transmission it seem to never shift right and traction control always acted funny shifts high or shift hard and then it finally gave out driving down the hight it made a loud clunk and I had no gears I costed to a stop.

Vehicles says awd malfunction and traction control sensor won't shut off while driving on highway. The power locks also malfunctioned shortly before the awd malfunction, making it where it was unable to shut. The power lock was unlocked/locked a couple times fixing the issue for now.

When traveling down the road with cruise on while going up hill or down hill the tool light will come on and the transmission will shift to neutral. Also occurs when cruise is off and going at a steady pace the try to accelerate to pass someone. Very dangerous on the interstate.

The transmission stop working while going up a hill.

On multiple occasions, while car is braked but in gear (d), car lunges forward despite brakes being applied. I notice the engine revs suddenly increase when this happens. This has happened sporadically over the last few months. On Thursday Nov 22 around 7. 30pm, I stopped at a stop sign in woodburn, oregon as pedestrians were crossing. Suddenly the car lunged forward, but thankfully did not hit a lady who was crossing and thought I was intentionally trying to scare/run her over. Not sure if this is related, but in two occasions the car completely shut down while in motion and driving around 35 - 45mph range. The brakes naturally stiffened and I told power steering. Luckily, I was able to maneuver to the side of the road and restart. Another issue is sometimes I lose throttle control of the car. On few occassions, this happened as soon as I started the car, and sometimes when I was stopped at stop sign. All three of these symptoms started showing up around the same time, which is why I believe they may be related. The problems started approximately when the engine had 128,000 miles and currently it has 140,000miles.

Takata recall.
