My car wouldn't accelerate on getting on the interstate and would only go up to 40 mph - hard to get in from the ramp with other oncoming cars. it started surging and bucking. when i got off the interstate at the next interstate it again surged when i was going 20mph. very scary for me. when i stopped at the stoplight it stalled and i had trouble starting it. i put my hazards on for the rest of the trip home. i have been scared to drive it. i took it to the ford dealer and they said it was the throttle body and estimated $700 for the part and $200 for labor. i have had surging issues this past summer when i used the defrost or air conditioning but not anything this bad. i did call the ford company and have a case number - they would not help with the part or labor. i spoke with a manager...
The accelerator pedal is unresponsive and the vehicle will move very slowly at first, then unpredictably lunge forward at higher speeds. occasionally the pedal will immediately respond with rapid acceleration when lightly touched, causing the tires to spin out while taking off from a stop. altering the way pressure is applied to the accelerator has no effect. this has been happening for over 3 months without any check engine indicators, and only recently when the vehicle had trouble idling did a check engine light come on. the vehicle has been well maintained and lightly driven.
My car stalls, and lunges forwards or backs suddenly even if i'm pressing the brake.

Tl* the contact owns a 2005 ford freestyle. while waiting to make a left turn with the brake pedal depressed, the vehicle lunged forward spontaneously. the contact had to release and reapply the brake pedal to stop the vehicle. the vehicle was driven to the contact's residence. the vehicle was not taken to the dealer or an independent mechanic for diagnostic testing. the manufacturer was not notified of the failure. the vehicle was not repaired. the approximate failure mileage was 151,215.
I put my car in reverse and the speed increased while i had my foot on the brake, i changed gears to drive and it did not increase on its own. once again on reverse and had another sudden increase of speed while my foot was on the brake. if i wasn't careful it could have caused an accident.
When letting up on my brake pedal from a stop my car will randomly accelerate and lunge forward. this problem has been going on since 2017. this problem seems to effect many freestyle owners, and is a safety concern for my family.
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 ...
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
