| Our car was quite new. my daughters and i were in the car at a stop light. someone was in front of me at the time and they were making a right hand turn. when i was slightly rolling forward i applied pressure to the brake and my car jumped or lunged forward-causing an accident with 4 kids and 2 adults involved. this is the first of many incidents with my car proactively moving. *tr | |||

| 2007 ford freestyle car riddled with mold from constant water leaks everywhere in the body frame. never been in accident, out of warranty. i'm 3 months pregnant with a 2 yr old. i can not even drive car makes me sick. dealer wants alot of money to try and fix the problem, but considering the mold is everywhere i'm not so sure it will solve problem, i have had the car for 10 months and paid 17,500 for it. it is clearly a design flaw i'm not the only one with this problem. it is a huge health issue, and i can not understand why ford has not issued a recall. *tr | |||
