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 @ ...
Traveling on hwy at approx 60 mph, wrench light came on, "failsafe engine mode" message appeared and car powered down. pulled over, turned car off, waited 1 min, restarted car. message was cleared and car drove as normal. about 20 miles later, same problem, except check engine light and message appeared. pulled over, turned off car, restarted. check engine light and message remained. very low power upon acceleration. problem continued intermittently. received engine code p2111, p2112 relating to throttle body problem. etb had been cleaned 11/13 by dealer per technical service bulletin issued by ford. no problems until 12/14. service performed to reprogram etb, no cleaning was needed. problem recurred 12/23/14. check engine light is on and no power upon acceleration persists. codes indicate etb needs to be replaced. *tr
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
The problem with this car and the throttle body has been going on for a while. i took the car to the ford dealer but they only cleaned the throttle body when it needed replacement. the last event was in august 1 when while i was driving the fail safe mode came up and the car suddenly lost the power and wouldn't run faster than probably 0.1 mile per hour. this was the second time this happened the first time i was with my kids in a major highway and the car suddenly stop running. thank god i had a chance to steer to the emergency lane. many people are having the same issue with the 2005-2007 freestyle, this is a super safety issue and nobody is doing anything about it. when my car stopped i could have been hit on the back with a worst outcome. i got a tow truck and they took the car to the ford dealer. those people are not helpful at all and treated me with a bad attitude. very expensive to change that's why ford is not getting involved and only offered to clean the part in the extended warranty, knowing ...
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
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

Me and my wife carpool on third shift to our jobs. upon backing out of the driveway in reverse, the wrench light came on, and an error reading" failsafe engine mode". i was able to make it to work, however i couldn't go fast at all no more than maybe 40. i'm seeing online many with this year and model need or have had new throttle body's put in with no luck coming from it. i'm hoping there's a recall because i have two children and a wife to get around in this one car.i wanna know what the recall is on it if one at all is available. why haven't they corrected it yet after all these years of problems and so many complaints? *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
