Replying to: ct2ct (May 06, 2008 9:38 pm) ct2ct and jir4, You both might be having the same problem the forum poster named jrmust has. See his post at Freestyle lurching issues post by jrmust   I think what jrmust was experiencing, and the dealer finally resolved, was a loose electrical connection in the accelerator pedal or where the electrical signal moves the throttle in the manifold, one or the other; I couldn't tell exactly from jrmust's post. You might be able to email jrmust to get his attention, by clicking on jrmust when you see it green and underlined to the right of the title. That might work.

Replying to: jjr4 (Jul 16, 2008 2:31 pm) jjr4 and ct2ct, The forum post jrmust does not have an email address listed, so post on the Ford Freestyle Maintenance and Repair forum by clicking here and jrmust is most likely to hang out there.

Replying to: steve_ (Jul 16, 2008 7:03 pm) I have a 2006 Freestyle AWD. Waiting for a plane, with engine idling, drove away at slow speed. Stopped for traffic and the yellow wrench light comes on and the car won't move. Put it in park, shut off the engine, restarted, won't move. Shifted through low to reverse to drive, the car moves slowly. Shut off again and loaded passengers. Parked for the night. Next morning, no wrench light, car runs fine. To the dealer, they change a transmission module since the "codes" were not related to the transmission. A month later, same thing and back to the dealer. Dealer rebuilds transmission with info from Ford that seal is allowing fluid to bypass, causing loss of power from engine through the transmission. Month later - still working.

Replying to: drewmimi (Jul 16, 2008 7:50 pm) That’s sort of what they did to my 06 last year. I started having problems at around 60,000 miles. Never had the no-go problem but had the wrench light and hard downshifting when going up hills. My dealer’s service department had no clue what was wrong and I ended up having loaner cars for a total of nine weeks. The third time the service department had the CVT out of the car they finally fixed it (with Ford’s hotline help). The problem had to do with input shaft machining defects which destroyed the o-ring seal and screwed up the internal pressure. The service manager stated that Ford specifically told them to check the integrity of the input shaft seal. The list of parts is outlined in “TSB 06-11-4 CONTINUOUSLY VARIABLE TRANSAXLE (CVT) NOISE DIAGNOSIS”. I will also say that my car never made any noise that I heard. I have included the list of parts from the TSB below. Not all of the parts on the list will have to be replaced for every CVT, but as you can see, they don’t appear to be inexpensive parts.   PART NUMBER PART NAME 7F9Z-7015-A Input Shaft 5F9Z-7025-A Bearing 5F9Z-7F465-AA Diff Assy AWD 5F9Z-7F465-BA Diff Assy FWD 5F9Z-4222-BA Diff Bearing Race 5F9Z-4222-CA Diff Bearing Race 7F9Z-7H348-A Side Shaft Gear Assy 5.19 7F9Z-7H348-B Side Shaft Gear Assy 5.54 5F9Z-7J309-AA Dust Cap 5F9Z-7L280-CA O-ring   All of my problems were fixed under my extended warranty and I didn’t even have to pay the $100.00 deductible. I have put about 40,000 additional miles on the repairs and haven’t had any issues.

Replying to: steve_ (Jul 16, 2008 7:03 pm) Host Steve, Could you add "500/Montego" to the title? Those had the CVT as well. Sorry I forgot to mention that before. Replies to this message: steve_ (Jul 17, 2008 8:33 pm) coldcranker (Jul 18, 2008 5:58 am) steve_ (Jul 18, 2008 7:07 am)

Replying to: steve_ (Jul 17, 2008 8:33 pm) The same CVT transmission was in the Freestyle/500/Montego for model years '05, '06, and '07. Therefore, shouldn't this CVT discussion include all the vehicles that had the identical CVT? Replies to this message: steve_ (Jul 18, 2008 7:07 am)

Replying to: coldcranker (Jul 18, 2008 5:58 am) Parts is parts but we don't ordinarily lump the different vehicle types together like that; we do have discussions like 4WD & AWD systems explained that aren't model specific.   And we do refer people with a, say, Rodeo question to a Passport one if they don't find answers with the search tools.   We could link this over to Sedans and just call it something like Ford CVT Transmissions.   Meanwhile, if anyone has a question about their CVT, please jump in.
#122 of 203 05 AWD FS by baethke Jul 21, 2008 (3:48 am)
My 05 FS has a noise coming from the tranny that sounds like a bearing on a pulley dragging when it is in P or N. When its under load it stops. And now the cvt tranny seems to surge when accel and trying to pull a hill. And it also sounds like a regular transmission in a low gear when going down a hill. Oh yes and one more thing, it has a really loud whine and some what grinding noise going in reverse. Anyone want to take a stab at it??
