2007 Ford Freestyle fuel system, gasoline problems

“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,NHTSA 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. *TR”

“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. *TR”

“AFTER STARTING THE 2007 FORD FREESTYLE IT IDOLS ABOUT 1000RPMS. UPON PUTTING IT INTO DRIVE OR REVERSE WHEN YOU LIFT OFF THE BRAKE THE CAR WILL REV UP THE ENGINE TO ABOUT 2000RPMS AND SPEED FORWARD OR BACKWARD. THIS REV OF THE ENGINE LAST APPROXIMATELY 1 SECOND AND THEN THE CAR RETURNS TO NORMAL IDOL SPEED. THIS CREATES A DANGEROUS SITUATION IN WHICH IF YOU DO NOT ANTICIPATE THE ACCELERATION YOU COULD HAVE AN ACCIDENT. *TR”

“ON THE DATE SHOWN, WHILE DRIVING IN A FUNERAL PROCESSION AND ENTERING THE CEMETERY MY VEHICLE STARTED TO LURCH, LUNGE AND BUCKING. TRIED TO GIVE IT GAS BUT DIDN'T RESPOND. I THEN SHUT THE VEHICLE OFF AND WHEN I STARTED UPON LEAVING THE CEMETERY THE VEHICLE STARTED THIS AGAIN. I DROVE TO THE DEALERSHIP AND THE MAINTENANCE PERSON TOLD ME THAT THIS WAS BEING CAUSED BY A SENSOR AND THAT I COULD SHUT THE VEHICLE DOWN AND RESTART AFTER A FEW MINUTES. THIS SEEMED TO WORK FOR A WHILE THEN THE SAME PROBLEMS KEPT OCCURRING. THIS WAS MENTIONED A NUMBER OF TIMES TO THE DEALER WITH THE SAME EXPLANATION. I THINK THAT THIS PROBLEM HAS NOW CREATED ANOTHER IN THE THE TRANSMISSION ON THE VEHICLE IS GONE.”
