Filed Aug 14, 2019 · Engine · 109,000 miles · FL

My vehicle stalls every week steering and brakes hard to control, my wife drives the vehicle. Took it to many shops, no codes stored in computer cannot find problem. I had the throttle body cleaned, replaced fuel pump, same fault. The car is unsafe hard to stop sometimes when engine shuts off. Ford dealer cannot find the problem.

Car will stall out while idling, accelerating or decelerating (apparently fail safe mode). May or may not start again after shutting off and restarting. Alternatively, engine will roar when applying gas pedal, with no acceleration; or will jolt/shudder while moving from second to third gear. New fuel pump already installed. All electrical connectors already gone over at dealer. Twice new inertia shutoff valves installed. ($800) if this is related to the throttle body, I want to be included in the class action.

I've had problems with this vehicle numerous times over the past few years. I filed a complaint on here once but do not remember the dates or the username/password I used. This vehicle is the worst car I have ever owned. I've sunk thousands into repairs in the last couple of years. I've had instrument cluster replaced 4 times, replaced engine mounts, my A/C compressor went out on it, throttle body replaced. And now it sits on blocks we thought was the fuel pump went out so replaced it. Didn't do any good. Not sure what it is the instrument cluster still doesn't work correctly, it was surging til the day the other day when it just wont go anymore, it will start and run but won't go. I was told it could be numerous things, throttle body again, instrument cluster still not right, might be my transmission, could be my pedal throttle sensor, fuel switch out..........so what do I do nickel and penny everything I have into a lemon that obviously the federal safety agency nor ford care about. I'm a single mother with two children, we live 7 miles from town...and now I have no transportation. I bought this vehicle in 2005 and paid quite a bit for it. Its like toilet paper or diapers....disposable! I will never purchase a ford again.

Tl*the contact owns a 2005 ford freestyle. When attempting to start the vehicle, it would sporadically fail to start. The vehicle was towed to a local repair shop and the technician stated that the fuel pump was the cause of the failure. The manufacturer would not assume responsibility because the VIN was excluded from the federal safety agency campaign id number 05v515000 (fuel system, gasoline:storage:tank assembly:mounting). In addition, the representative added that the parts were on back order so they were unable to replace the component. The vehicle has not been properly repaired. The failure mileage was 49,500 and current mileage was 55,000.

2005 ford freestyle_- bought in 2007 has approx 19,000 miles on it bought extended service warranty for upto 100,000- approximately june 2008 check engine light came on and information center said "half fuel life op" took to dealer they changed out the fuel pump and the light came back on about 1 week later while on vacation. Took it back to the shop they changed out the other fuel pump as it has 2. It did it again shortly afterwards. They have changed the sending unit and then the fuel gauge started freaking out- showing half a take when full and going up instead of down after driving it. It has had the software redownloaded in the computer and I don't even know what all. It has been in the shop well over 30 days and is in there again for the same issue.
