The car is lunging forward at low speed while braking, this seems to be the same issue addressed in a recall that had been completed in december of 2016.
My 2005 ford freestyle speedometer fluctuates on its on causing the car to jump forward and take off slow with very little power it does it when sitting in park with the car turned on and while driving
On several occasions, my 05 freestyle lunges forward, transmission is engaged in the drive position and when in reverse, it also lunges. often when stopped at a light the car will not accelerate. it will stumble all over itself and dies. i've almost been hit on a couple occasions because i couldn't get across an intersection or out of the way. on several occasions while driving, it loses power and will not accelerate. had a a mechanic look at it. he said the throttle body was gummed up and he cleaned it. it ran good for a couple days and it's back to doing the same thing. the car only has 72310 miles on it. this problem has been going on for a couple years and has gotten significantly worse.
At low speed or stopped while in drive the car lunges forwards. i was at a drive through and it lunged forward almost hitting a pedestrian. also while driving in a lower speed zone 20-35 (school zones and neighborhood streets) the rpm's start pulsing causing the car to lunge every time.
When not pressing the accelerator pedal and turning the wheel, the car speed up without the drivers intention.

While driving on a city street going 25 and while driving on the freeway going 55, the lights in cluster of guages went out. the wrench icon lights up and all power goes out to the guages. all needles drop. checked the fuzes. nothing blown. when this happens the a.c. also stops blowing cold air.

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.
While veichle is stationary, the engine revs between 500-1000 rpm. transmission seemed to have stopped shifting and made the rpm go all over the place. while turning at a slow speed it seemed to make the issue worse. was told it needs a new transmission.
My car just stops i was told it was the throdel body but fixing it ws only trmparey i have 6 kids in my car at all times it is very scarey i never know when it will happen
While driving car at night lights on dashboard and instrument panel went out, abs light came on, headlights went out but backup lights came on while car was in drive. turn signals did not work and radio went out. car eventually lost all power.
