My Freestyle often accelerates / lunges while I am taking my foot off the brake. Does yours? I have done a little research about it tonight and will continue tomorrow. Just wondering what info you might have about it.
I have almost crashed into probably a dozen cars because of it. Parking lots, and drive-thrus mostly. And I almost ran over TWO pedestrians. One was a Wendy's employee who walked in front of me taking out the trash. The other time, I was in reverse, backing out of a spot and the car lunged at someone who was on the other side of the parking lanes.
From what I can tell, it's a fairly common problem but Ford can no longer get the part to fix it. I filed a complaint with NHTSA and will contact Ford tomorrow. Hopefully they have the part.
