#126 of 131 2006 freestyle power loss by vernbass Nov 04, 2009 (9:21 pm)
seems like i have a lot of company with 2006 freestyle power loss problems. mine began with one occurrence in highway traffic this past spring. engine would race but no power to drive train. wrench light went on. i nursed the car to a friend's house where i turned ignition off and let car sit for a couple of hours. upon re-starting, everything was fine. i called dealer the next morning and was told there was nothing they could do if wrench light or engine light was no longer on. was also told they had never heard of a problem such as this. problem did not occur again until middle of october, again in highway traffic. i pulled over to shoulder, turned ignition off then re-started car which seemed to re-set the computer. problem occurred 3 times within 15 minutes/wrench and engine lights both went on. i drove another 50 miles home worried about car dying in traffic. took car to dealer the next day and was told problem was a bad "megatronix" unit. $1,500.00 dollars and 1 week later, i picked car up from dealer. it ran great for 4 days then problem occurred again. took vehicle back to dealer and am now told that Ford is recommending a new transmission at the cost of over $4,500.00 i feel at wits end and that they are just jerking me around. it appears that there are well documented, dangerous problems with the freestyle and ford should be held accountable for them. any suggestions on how to proceed as a group toward justice and restitution for this extremely dangerous problem?

Replying to: davkat1 (Nov 03, 2009 7:08 am) Just to let everyone know I got a call from ford yesterday. The throttle body part is being tested and should have the part mid Dec. (so they say) BUT I do have a rental from ford since Sep 9 and FORD is PAYING for it which is going to be around $3,000. YES Ford is paying the bill. Any questions please e-mail me. Morgan2665aol.com

Replying to: vernbass (Nov 04, 2009 9:21 pm) HELLO I FEEL YOUR PAIN I WENT THROUGH THIS SAME PROBLEM WITH MY 1993 VW GOLF. FROM 1994 TO 1997 AFTER TRADING THE CAR IN IS WHEN I RECEIVED A LETTER TELLING ME WHAT CAUSE THE PROBLEM AND HOW TO FIX IT. THE CAUSE WAS GREEN ENGEN COOLANT THAT I PUT IN AFTER 50K MILES. THE FIX IS A $5 DOLLAR TEMP/SAFTY SENSOR. THIS SENSOR HAD 4 WIRES COMING FROM IT. 2 OF THE WIRE WENT TO DASH GAGE AND THE OTHER 2 WENT TO THE FUEL PUMP. WHEN THE SENSOR READS A HIGH TEMP IT TURNS OFF THE FUEL PUMP.   SO WHEN YOU ARE DRIVING 65MPH OR HIGHER THE PUMP TURNS OFF AND THE CAR JUST SUCK AIR WITH NO WARNING LIGHT ON IN DASH UNTILL THE CAR COMES TO A COMPLETE STOP.
