#1268 of 1319 Re: Air filter [01taurussel] by coldcranker Feb 04, 2009 (7:56 am)
Replying to: 01taurussel (Feb 04, 2009 4:48 am) If you can catch a good sale on those XtraVision twin packs at Pep Boys, you can get them cheap. I forgot what I paid for mine, but I remember it was a screaming good twin-pack sale. The same H13 went out on my '05 F150 2WD, so I figure I might as well get the twin pack because the '05 Freestyle will probably have an outage before too long. They say replace them in pairs, but I don't see why. So what if the older one is slightly less bright?   What I really want for my birthday is to fit a pair of LED fog lamps to the Freestyle. Gotta have that. Anybody seen anything like that? LEDs would be cool because they draw so little current (amps). Replies to this message: 01taurussel (Feb 04, 2009 3:38 pm)

#1271 of 1319 ford freestyle rear brakes by romie5123 Feb 09, 2009 (4:23 pm)
I also today took our 2006 ford freestyle in because of rear brake issues. The freestyle needs pads & rotors. (and a caliper on the right side.) $500.00 dollars. There is only 31,000 miles on the car. I am not happy to say the least. There seems to be a problem from what the other posts suggests. Any solutions???

Replying to: romie5123 (Feb 09, 2009 4:23 pm) I think my 500 had a new caliper at about 25-30k....It was hanging and causing the brakes to be wrecked.......I was quoted around 300.00 for fronts on my 500 which I was told that needed to be replaced (also was told that my shocks are shot after 30k........so I will take the brakes with a grain of shot.....)   500.00 doesn't sound that bad for new gear

Replying to: romie5123 (Feb 09, 2009 4:23 pm) romie5123, See if a Ford dealer doesn't pick up the cost based on the recall. See Brake Discussion or google the words: ford freestyle brake recall 07N10

#1275 of 1319 06 Freestyle hard starting by dukhook Mar 05, 2009 (3:23 pm)
Have '06 freestyle with 45K miles. Developed pattern of starting ahrd. And then just wouldn't start earlier this week. Would turn over but not start. Lights would dim some so I changed out battery 2 days ago. Started okay for 2 days then same problem. Took 8 minutes of cranking to start. Finlly floored and cranked until it started. THinking fuel filter any other thoughts? Replies to this message: bruneau1 (Mar 06, 2009 10:08 am) dukhook (Mar 06, 2009 12:35 pm) coldcranker (Mar 07, 2009 1:39 pm) and 1 more...

Replying to: dukhook (Mar 05, 2009 3:23 pm) I don't know if my problem is the same as yours, but my Freestyle was having cold start problems. The dealer replaced the throttle body under our extended warranty. Works fine now. Good luck. Have your codes checked- we had two codes come up and there is a TSB on this problem.

Replying to: bruneau1 (Mar 06, 2009 10:08 am) Thanks for the info. When you are refering to check your codes, what are you refering to?   TSB? Technical Service Bulletin right Replies to this message: coldcranker (Mar 07, 2009 1:39 pm) coldcranker (Mar 07, 2009 1:47 pm)
