My wife owned a 05 freestyle with a CVT and I myself was the only ford certifed CVT tech for all of 05-06 in Tennessee. I am very familar with this trans, either driving or repairing it. I do not feel your symptoms are coming from the CVT. It sounds more like the beginning stages of a failing electronic throttle body. I recommend this service shown below as a first step.
