What owners wrote

I own a 2007 ford freestyle sel FWD with 24,000 miles. Yesterday while driving the car my husband heard a strange noise while braking. He immediately checked front and rear brakes. Front brakes and rotors look good. Rear brakes need replacing, and rotors are severely marked and grooved. I contacted our local dealership (same one we purchased the car from) and was told this is not covered under warranty even though this is happening across the board.

Reported at 24,000 miles, December 2007

The vehicles accelerates when brake is on. Has happened on multiple occasions and for both drivers of vehicle. The vehicle just surges forward a short distance. Don't know exact first date as it was infrequent and I thought maybe I was imagining it. Second driver of vehicle confirmed problem. Only goes forward a few inches but very scary and frequency is increasing. Will be taking to shop. See this is listed on web sites as a frequent problem with the 2007 freestyle.
