What owners wrote

I was backing out of angle parking space. As I backed I bumped concrete pole. As I put car in drive to go forward the accelerator stuck wide open. I had no control of speed. I sped forward approximately 20 feet and crashed into the back of a parked pick-up. Police were called. I was only bruised and sore. I did see a dr. And will continue to do follow up. My insurance co. Totaled the car. It was very damaged on the driver side. Someone could of been killed in this accident.

Reported at 60,000 miles, September 2015 CrashInjury

I was driving my car and the wrench indicator came on, my car would not accelerate. I've taken my car to the repair shop and was infromed there is a known issued with ford freestyle 2005-2006 and the CVT transmission. I reviewed and it appears ford knows this is an issue, but refuses to recall/repair it. I will be seeking legal action if ford does not pursue a recall on this vehicle and it's known issue with the CVT transmission.
