problem #2

2008Jul 06

Freestyle SE 3.0L V6

  • CVT transmission
  • 61,300 miles

I was 1 1/2 Hours from home...going up a hill with the cruise on, when suddenly the car engine just shut off. Was fortunate to get it to the side of the road. However when I tried to restart it was as if I had no engine ...because all though the lights came on...there was nothing trying to start. Ford dealer came up with something going on in the pass-key system, supposedly they found a loose wire somewhere. Hoping it doesn't happen to do this again....I'll keep you updated!

Freestyle 3.2LV6

  • Automatic transmission
  • 42,000 miles

This short acts like the security system shuts down electiical support to the engine. You have to have it towed in to a dealer. You can not reset it yourself. I would bet that there are some flaky electonics on one of the computers (three on board). This shorts out and acts like someone is trying to steal the car.
