I was driving on the highway when suddenly the vehicle started surging and was losing power last wednesday 11/13/19. another time, was with my whole family, the ac, cruise control, and car stereo was on when suddenly the vehicle lost power all of a sudden. i got scared because i did not want to get into an accident particularly on the highway. ford motors please, do something about my vehicle. also, the vehicle does not stop when it should every time i apply the breaks. whether on the streets, the highway, making turns, and at a stoplight, it always goes an extra distance before actually coming to a full stop. the brake pads are all oem from the ford dealer in my town. i'm always worried that my vehicle will one day give me the slip and get me into a vehicular accident. ford motors, we only have one vehicle in my family and preventing a possible vehicular accident is something your company can do especially when you have the capability and the means to do so.
The vehicle lunges forward when backing and when stopping going forward. it feels like seone is pushing the accelerator even though your foot is on the brake.
Tl* the contact owns a 2005 ford freestyle. while driving at an unknown speed, an abnormal buzzing noise was coming from the front of the vehicle. the vehicle was taken to nalley ford sandy springs (7555 roswell rd, atlanta, ga 30350, (678) 809-5711) where it was diagnosed that the transmission needed to be replaced. the vehicle was not repaired. the manufacturer was notified of the failure. the approximate failure mileage was 115,000.
Transmission makes a buzzin,whirring sound in park and reverse...from what i read online from many others..this noise preludes transmission failure while driving down the road...most of the time causing an emergency situation that could cause an accident with personal injury...ford is aware of the problem, or should be by the numerous complaints over the years, but has yet to owe up to the transmission failures, causing a monetary hardship for the owners of said vehicles or the almost total loss of the vehicles value. it is the responsibility of the nhtsa to investigate complaints such as these, then demand the manufacturers start the recall process to permanently repair said transmissions ( cvt ) or replace complete unit at manufacturers expense. start the job you people are paid generously to do. u tube has many videos of people telling their problems, and videos of mechanics explaining the problems

Hello, i was driving 60 mph on us highway 2, driving from snohomish, wa to monroe, wa, which is a 2 lane highway with no median (death highway) suddenly, the car seemed to lunge and i lost acceleration with the yellow service wrench dash light coming on. my speed significantly decreased and the car pulled at the same time. rpm's jumped to 5000+ but i was dropping speed. i avoided the car coming up behind me and the oncoming traffic by quickly pulling into an area on the side of the highway. this was a very scary experience that could have turned out very badly if i would have been hit from behind and pushed into oncoming traffic. i sat on the side of the road, stunned for 5-10 minutes, not knowing what happened. it had also happened once earlier that day at much lower speeds and then seemed to reset itself. again the wrench light reset and i was able to pull out onto the highway and drive to a transmission shop for diagnosis. as of now, i don't know exactly what the damage ...
