2006 Ford Freestyle fuel system, gasoline problems

“WAS SITTING IN CAR IN A PARKING LOT WITH AC RUNNING WAITING FOR MY WIFE. AS I BEGAN TO BACK UP I PUT FOOT ON BRAKE TO LET CAR GO BY WHEN THE CAR BEGAN TO SURGE AND MY FOOT WAS NO WHERE NEAR GAS PEDAL. THEN THE CAR SHUT OFF BY ITSELF AND CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON. LATER WE WERE WAITING IN A LINE AT A DRIVE-THRU AS WE WAITED IN LINE I HAD CAR IN DRIVE BUT FOOT ON BRAKE. THEN THE CAR LUNGED FORWARD AND I COULD HAVE HIT THE CAR IN FRONT OF ME. THE CAR DIED AGAIN. THIS HAPPENED ANOTHER TIME. I TOOK IT TO AUTO PART STORE TO DIAGNOSE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT. IT GAVE ME CODE P2106 AND WHICH IS THROTTLE ACTUATOR CONTROL SYSTEM-FORCED LIMITED POWER. *TR”

“SHORTLY AFTER WE PURCHASED THE CAR ON JAN 01, 2008 WE BEGAN TO HAVE ISSUES WITH LUNGING AND HIGH IDLING. CAR WAS TAKEN TO DEALERSHIP SEVERAL TIMES BEFORE THEY CLEANED THE THROTTLE BODY SENSOR. IT WAS OK FOR A FEW MONTHS AND STARTED BACK. WE TOOK IT BACK AND THEY REPLACED THE TBS AND ANOTHER PART. CAR WORKED GREAT FOR A WHILE, BUT HAD TO HAVE THE TBS CLEANED AGAIN IN 2011 AND 2012 AND IS NOW DOING THE SAME THING AGAIN AND MORE. NOW IT IS EXTREME. I WORK ABOUT 6 MILES FROM HOME AND HAVE TO STOP SEVERAL TIMES TO TURN THE CAR OFF AND BACK ON TO RESET THE WRENCH THAT COMES ON IN ORDER TO RESET THE HIGH IDLE. IF I DON'T, WHEN I HIT THE GAS, THE RPM'S GO UP TO 4 AND 5K ONLY DOING 30 MPH. THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT IS ALSO ON. I HAVE HAD IT CHECKED AND THE ERROR CODE IS P0701 INDICATING TRANSMISSION AND TB ISSUES. THE CAR ALSO LUNGES FORWARD A GREAT DEAL AND I HAVE TO STAY BACK A SAFE DISTANCE IN ORDER TO BE SURE IF IT LUNGES I DON'T HIT ANYONE. THE ISSUE IS FAR BEYOND THE THROTTLE BODY SENSOR. IT HAS TO ALSO DO WITH THE CVT TRANSMISSION WHICH FORD KNOWS IS A LEMON. PLEASE PUSH THIS ISSUE SO THAT THEY WILL HAVE TO RECALL THE FAULTY PARTS AND PROTECT THE SAFETY OF THE…”

“ON 8-23-2011 WE HAD THE THROTTLE CONTROL SYSTEM REPLACED BECAUSE OF UNCONTROLLABLE EXHILARATION. IT HAS STARTED THE SAME SYMPTOMS AGAIN AND WE NEED TO HAVE IT REPLACED AGAIN . *TR”

“VEHICLE LURCHES WHEN BRAKES ARE APPLIED IN FORWARD AND REVERSE. HAPPENED MANY TIMES. THE WRENCH INDICATOR LIGHT CAME ON ALSO WHEN THIS HAPPENED. THIS HAPPENED MANY TIMES WHEN WE FIRST PURCHASED THE VEHICLE. I CHECKS THREADS ON THE INTERNET AND SAW THIS AS A COMMON PROBLEM. I PERSONALLY CLEANED THE THROTTLE BODY AS SHOWN ON YOUTUBE BY A GENTLEMAN AND IT FIXED THE PROBLEM FOR AWHILE. THIS HAPPENED RECENTLY TO MY WIFE AS SHE WAS LEAVING HER WORK PARKING LOT AT LOW SPEED. LURCHED WHEN PUT IN GEAR WITH BRAKES APPLIED. CAR FELT UNCONTROLLABLE. WE SEE THAT AN INVESTIGATION ON THIS PROBLEM HAS BEGUN SO I WOULD CONFER WITH OTHER VEHICLE OWNERS. MORE TIMES AND DATES THAN I CAN REMEMBER THAT LURCHING HAS TAKEN PLACE. ONE TIME I HAD TO SLIP IT INTO NEUTRAL TO STOP THE CAR AND APPLY THE BRAKES. *TR”
