2007 Ford Freestyle fuel system problems

Auto was repaired 2008 by non ford dealer before the recall happened for problem of auto surging forward and backwards. Then ford reimbursed the money $700.00 of repair. Now car has 110k miles and is surging forward and backwards again . Very dangerous for me and family. I would like for ford to repair my vehicle again. Original repair was for the car surging forward and backwards and I feel that with only 110k miles on it, I should not be experiencing this dangerous issue again!!!

Tl* the contact owns a 2007 ford freestyle. While attempting to pull out of the driveway, the contact noticed fuel running down the incline underneath the vehicle. The vehicle was towed to an independent mechanic who stated that there was a fracture on the fuel tank. Also, both fuel pumps were corroded and needed replacement. The vehicle was not taken to the dealer for diagnostic testing. The manufacturer was not notified of the failure. The vehicle was repaired. The approximate failure mileage was 140,000.

Unknown reason: on dec.28 2016 I@ 1535 I was driving on interstate #30 in arkansas. I was driving @ a speed of 70 MPH when all the power went off in my car. I was unable to turn on flashers or restart car. Behind me was a 18 wheeler and on my right side was a car. I immediately began to lose speed. It just so happened that the other drivers noticed I was in trouble. Both drivers put their hazard lights on and slowed traffic enabling me to steer the car ( with no power) to the shoulder. I put the car in park turned the radio and heater off and tried to restart it. It did restart but I left the radio and heater off. I was 34.1 mi from home. I prayed all the way home and did not drive over 60 MPH.( I could have been killed !!!). When I finally arrived at home, I put my car in park and the car turned itself off. The car keys were still in the on position! I have checked the ford website online,the federal safety agency website, called the customer relationship center @ 1‑866‑436‑7332 and riser ford lincoln in hot springs, ark @ 1 -888 -547 -3820 ( this is where I bought the car) trying to find recall notices. If there are some please let me know. Thank you.

Unable to start car immediately after filling gas tank. Also, upon stopping at light or turning a corner it feels like the gas is not going to the engine and I am unable to move forward. This forces me to pull over to the side of the road.. At the time I had the air conditioner on and now am told the compressor is bad. There is loud clicking (like the computer is 'thinking') coming from under the dash.

Im not sure if these are two completely separate issues. Starting around 2012 the vehicle would lunge forward after coming to a complete stop and especially when the air conditioner is running. Now the CVT transmission has gone completely out an we are unable to drive it.

I got into my car, turned the key in the ignition and it started sounding like a helicopter. This noise happens while the vehicle is in park, neutral and while reversing. I have spoken with a transmission shop and have been told it is a known problem with the internal components of the transmission. It will cost around $6000.00 to fix. There is still plenty of life left in my car. No body or interior or damage/issues. I still have 2 years left on my loan. If ford knows about this issue it should have been repaired. This is dangerous and now I am not able to drive my car for fear of getting hurt or being stranded.

With the brake pedal depressed, the vehicle will lurch forward when putting in forward gear. Vehicle stalled while driving and also when making turns in residential area. Almost hit another vehicle because the power steering went out.

Started to experience engine surge problem that is apparently pretty common. Mostly occurs when accelerating from stopped position. Also check engine light came on. Checked code at napa store. P0109 indicating fuel rail pressure sensor. Local mechanic claimed it to be a fuel filter problem. Had mechanic change filter, problem resolved for very short time period. About month later same problem and engine code. Replaced fuel sensor myself. Problem returned 2 days later without engine code. From my research on this site and others found out about customer satisfaction program 12n03. Called local dealer to look into having vehicle checked. Was informed by service operator that my VIN does not qualify but they would let me pay $150.00 dollars to check out problem. I am thinking I will exercise my free will to get rid of this vehicle for a kia or hyundai model that I can trust.

When you slow down to stop, vehicle sometimes lunged, or accelerates. When you back out of a parking spot, vehicle sometimes suddenly lunged or accelerates.
