We purchased a 2005 Ford Freestyle new in December of 2005. Starting at around 29,000 we began having intermitent surg problems. Took it to the dealer but they could not diagnose. Stopped for a while then returned, and has been intermitent since then. Ford could never figure out what it was. Now at 58,000 we are really having problems. Surging, stalling, fail safe mode. We are teaching our son to drive this car and it is dangerous. I have googled this and many freestyle owners have had the same problem. It is a problem with the throtle body and Ford knows its a problem. It is dangerous, why not just do a recall?
like the car but frustrated with this problem.

Do you drive a 2005 FORD FREESTYLE?

Just because a car has been recalled does not mean it is not a reliable car. Millions of cars get recalled every year. Recalls often involve problems that are rare but could cause a serious problem if they occur. So the risk to any given driver is often remote, even though there may be a few high-profile incidents traced to the problem.
