Bought my Ford Freestyle in 2007 (23,000 miles) and it has been doing great with minor repairs. 109,000 later the check engine light started coming on. The car stopped picking up speed and would only go to 40 miles per hour. Shortly, after it slowed down, the failsafe mode light came on and I could barely get home. I googled the problem and found that the throttle body was bad. The suggestion was to clean it. I waited two weeks, went to buy throttle body cleaner, but someone gave me the throttle body cleaner that they had already bought. Thank you Lord! I took the throttle body off, cleaned it and put it back on. All the lights on the car went off. I was so happy. I noticed that the car was still pulling though. When I got on the expressway my Ford Freestyle dropped from sixty miles to about 2 miles per hour. The engine light and the failsafe mode came on. I looked under the hood and noticed the plug to intake flow was not connected. I connected, waited, and started my car. The failsafe mode went off, but the engine light did not. I drove off the expressway, but did not get very far when the throttle body started stalling again. I could not drive home because it was going 2 miles per hour again. I had to be towed. Now I have to get another throttle body. So many complaints on this the throttle body on the ford freestyle. Is there any recalls for the 2005 ford throttle body?
