When it gets really cold, like teens or twenties I have to warm my car up an hour or more before I leave or else it won't go anywhere. The little wrench light pops up and it won't move if I start too late and it's real cold. How do I fix it? It does fine when it's in the 50's and higher.

I bought my freestyle from car max in April of 2013. Its been in the shop 12 times and its headed back tomorrow for number 13. I'm having the same issues you are plus an array of others. The first week I had the car I had surege issues I took it to car max they said nothing was wrong. So I took it to a local for dealership. When I pulled up the guy told me exactly what it was doing before he even looked at it. They fixed the recall And before I left told me to get out of that car as quick as I could because they were lemons. I bought a warranty but 250 ever time it goes in the shop but I've been lucky in that aspect because their fixing the same problem and car max " stands be hind their work" lol. My suggestion to you would be to sell it. Mine hasn't been anything but a headache. I have a 12 thousand dollar lawn ornament.

That is entirely up to you. If there was a recall and it's ok now drive it. If not do what you want.
