2005 FORD FIVE HUNDRED WITH 51000 MILES HAD CHECK ENGINE LIGHT COME ON. CAR ACCELERATES UNEXPECTEDLY WHEN SHIFTING INTO REVERSE OR FROM REVERSE TO DRIVE THEN LUNGES FORWARD OR BACKWARD LIKE IT WILL TAKE OFF ON ITS OWN. THE ENGINE SURGE CAN BE FELT EVEN STANDING STILL AT TIMES. TOLD IT IS THE THROTTLE BODY AND HAVE BEEN WAITING FOR PART AS IT IS ON BACKORDER. THIS IS AN 800.00 REPAIR AND I HAVE BEEN WAITING ALMOST A MONTH. SOMEONE COULD BE INJURED WHEN THESE VEHICLES LUNGE FORWARD OR BACKWARD UNEXPECTEDLY. I SEE MANY MANY SIMILAR COMPLAINTS WITH THIS MODEL CAR AND THIS PARTICULAR PART. I BELIEVE IT SHOULD BE RECALLED BEFORE SOMEONE IS INJURED OR WORSE. *TR

THEY ALSO TOLD ME THIS WAS A COMMON PROBLEM AND THE PART WAS ON BACK ORDER. *TR

ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING:COOLING SYSTEM
MY 2005 FORD FIVE HUNDRED HAS BEEN A VERY DEPENDABLE VEHICLE, EXCEPT WHEN THE COMPRESSOR WENT OUT. AFTER DOING MUCH RESEARCH, IT SEEMS THAT I AM NOT THE ONLY ONE WITH THIS ISSUE. FORD SHOULD DO THE RIGHT THING AND REPAIR THE COMPRESSORS ON THE FORD FIVE HUNDREDS BECAUSE IT IS A VERY HIGH SAFETY CONCERN. I HAVE HAD TO DRIVE AROUND WITH NO AIR BECAUSE I CANNOT AFFORD THE REPAIR ON TOP OF THE MONTHLY PAYMENTS FOR THE CAR. IF I HAD KNOWN THAT THERE WAS AN ISSUE WITH THE COMPRESSOR GOING OUT, AND A $1200 BILL TO ENSUE, I WOULD HAVE RECONSIDERED BUYING THIS VEHICLE. ALL THE FORD FIVE HUNDRED DRIVERS, INCLUDING ME, NEED HELP ON THIS ACROSS THE BOARD REPAIR. IT IS OBVIOUSLY A MANUFACTURING ERROR AND SHOULD BE MADE RIGHT BY FORD. *TR

POWER TRAIN:AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION
I AM BUYING A 2005 FORD 500 LIMITED WITH AN 6 SPD TRANSMISSION IT NOW HAS 136K MILES ON IT. IT HAS BEEN A PROBLEM EVER SINCE I PURCHASED THE VEHICLE USED FROM CROSSROADS FORD IN MEMPHIS. I HAD TO HAVE THE ENGINE REPLACED AT 54K MILES. NOW THE TRANSMISSION/TRANSAXLE IS STARTING TO SLIP AND STALL IN TRAFFIC. YOU START TO MOVE FROM A TRAFFIC LIGHT AND IT WILL GO SLOWLY THEN JUMP TO ABOUT 4K TO 6K ON THE TACHOMETER AND AT THAT POINT THE CAR STALLS AND YOU ARE ABOUT TO BE REAR ENDED BY OTHER DRIVERS DUE TO THE CAR STALLING. ACCORDING TO FORD THEY HAVE KNOWN OF THIS PROBLEM BUT ONLY OFFER SELLING YOU A NEW TRANSMISSION WHICH THEY SHOULD BE RESPONSIBLE FOR SINCE THEY BUILT THE PRODUCT EVEN IF THE FACTORY WARRANTY IS GONE. CANT AFFORD TO BUY ANOTHER CAR OR TRADE THIS ONE IN OR GET THE TRANSMISSION FIXED ACCORDING TO FORD THE REPLACEMENT IS AROUND $4600. DON'T HAVE THAT KIND OF MONEY LYING AROUND. *TR

VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL
FORD FIVE HUNDRED LUNGED DRAMATICALLY AS I ATTEMPTED TO MAKE A RIGHT TURN FROM A STOPPED POSITION. I IMMEDIATELY ATTEMPTED TO BRAKE IN ORDER TO SLOW THE CAR DOWN AND YIELD TO A PEDESTRIAN THAT HAD BEGUN TO CROSS THE STREET. IT TOOK AN EXTREME AMOUNT OF PRESSURE ON THE BRAKE PEDAL IN ORDER TO FIGHT ENGINE'S ACCELERATION AND STOP THE CAR. UPON REMOVING MY FOOT FROM THE BRAKE, THE CAR ATTEMPTED TO RE-ACCELERATE HARD AGAIN, SCARING THE PEDESTRIAN ENOUGH THAT THEY WAVED ME THROUGH AND REFUSED TO CROSS UNTIL I PASSED BY. THE NEXT DAY, WHILE PARKING THE CAR IN A PUBLIC GARAGE, THE CAR SUDDENLY LURCHED FORWARD VERY HARD, AGAIN REQUIRING MAXIMUM EFFORT TO PREVENT ACCELERATING. THIS TIME I WAS HEADED INTO A CONCRETE WALL AND STOPPED 2 INCHES SHORT. FOR THE FIRST TIME, CAR ENTERED FAILSAFE MODE AND PRESENTED A CHECK ENGINE LIGHT (THIS LIGHT HAD NOT BEEN PREVIOUSLY PRESENTED). DEALER INFORMS ME COMPUTER REPORTS CODES OF P610B AND P2106. THEY WANT TO REPLACE THE THROTTLE BODY ASSEMBLY AND REPROGRAM THE PCM. WHILE I HAD EXPERIENCED THE SUDDEN ACCELERATION ISSUE INTERMITTENTLY OVER THE YEARS; I NEVER GOT RESOLUTION (UNABLE TO RECREATE THE PROBLEM) AND HAD NEVER RECEIVED A CHECK ENGINE LIGHT WITH THIS CODE BEFORE. INVESTIGATING THIS VERY EXPENSIVE REPAIR HAS LED ME TO DISCOVER THAT MY EXPERIENCE IS NOT UNIQUE AND IS A RECURRING ISSUE FOR THIS VEHICLE. FURTHER, THE COSTLY REPAIR BEING RECOMMENDED APPEARS TO BE A STOP-GAP FIX AT BEST WITH NO CERTAINTY OF ACTUALLY FIXING THE PROBLEM. *TR

MONDAY, JUNE 28TH MY VEHICLE SEEMED TO SLIGHTLY ACCELERATE WHEN I WAS BACKING IT INTO A PARKING SPOT. THEN ABOUT A WEEK LATER (JULY 06TH), I WAS STOPPED IN A LINE OF OTHER VEHICLES, AND THE SAME THING HAPPENED WHERE IT WOULD ACCELERATE, ONLY THIS TIME, IT HAPPENED APPROXIMATELY 5 TIMES CONSISTENTLY. MY VEHICLE'S CHECK ENGINE LIGHT APPEARED WITH A MESSAGE THAT READ, "FAIL SAFE ENGINE MODE". THE NEXT DAY, I IMMEDIATELY TOOK IT IN TO A FORD DEALER TO HAVE IT INSPECTED. THEY SAID THAT THIS IS FREQUENT ISSUE WITH THE THROTTLE BODY AND IT'S UNSAFE TO DRIVE WITH THESE CONDITIONS. THEY ALSO MENTIONED THAT THEY HAVE SEEN A CASE WHERE A CUSTOMER'S THROTTLE WAS WIDE OPEN AND ACCELERATED UNCONTROLLABLY AND IS SHOCKED THAT IT HASN'T BEEN RECALLED YET. HE SUGGESTED IT NOT LEAVE THE LOT UNTIL THE REPAIRS WERE DONE. WE LEFT IT AT THE DEALERSHIP TO GET REPAIRED, BUT TOOK HIS ADVICE. WE BELIEVE THIS A DEFAULT IN THE MANUFACTURING OF THE THROTTLE BODY, AND CAUSING UNSAFE DRIVING CONDITIONS. WE HOPE THIS WILL GET INVESTIGATED, SO NO ONE IS INJURED. *TR

DRIVING OUR FORD FIVE HUNDRED 2005 SEL AT 30 MILES PER HOUR MY WIFE AND FELT A SUDDEN CRACK ON THE DRIVERS RIGHT REAR SIDE. I STOPPED THE CAR AND SAW THAT THE POSITION OF THE TIRE WAS NOT ADEQUATE AND SUSPECTED A DAMPER SITUATION, NOT SO. LUCKILY WE WERE 5 BLOCKS AWAY OF A FRIENDLY FORD DEALER, WE DROVE WITH PAINFULLY SQUEAKING TIRE THERE AND WHEN INSPECTED THE REAR CROSS MEMBER HAD A CRACK WHERE THE WELDING OF THE ADJUSTING CAMBER CASTER IS. WE THANKED THE LORD WE WERE NOT ON THE HIGHWAY AS IT WOULD HAVE BEEN CERTAIN DEATH. I KNOW THIS IS A STRUCTURAL FAILURE AS IS THE WHOLE REAR CROSS MEMBER PART AND BELIEVE IS SUFFICIENT FOR A RECALL OF ALL FORD FIVE HUNDRED FORD THE CAR HAS ONLY 55,000 MILES AN IS A 2005 SEL MODEL. *TR

FOR APPROXIMATELY THE PAST YEAR OUR 2005 FORD 500 HAS BEEN LURCHING WHEN SHIFTING INTO REVERSE WITH THE "WRENCH" SYMBOL ON THE DASH LIGHTING UP. I HAVE HAD THE CODES RUN AND NOTHING COMES UP. I HAVE BEEN DOING INTERNET RESEARCH ON THIS PROBLEM AND IT SEEMS THAT MANY PEOPLE HAVE REPORTED THIS ISSUE IN ONLINE FORUMS WITH MANY HAVING TO HAVE THE THROTTLE BODY REPLACED, COMPUTER REPROGRAMMED AND ACCELERATOR REPLACED. THIS ISSUE HAS NOT SHOWN UP ON FOR A RECALL BUT I DO BELIEVE IT SHOULD AS MY WIFE DRIVES THE VEHICLE AND ALMOST GOT INTO AN ACCIDENT WITH OUR THREE YOUNG CHILDREN. *TR

IN 2009 I TOOK MY FORD 500 TO SUTTON FORD IN THE AUTO MALL IN MATTESON, IL BECAUSE I WAS HAVING AN ACCELERATION ISSUE. THE AC LIGHT AND BOARD LIGHT WAS ON. THEY CALL ME AND I PAID THE BILL FOR ALMOST $800.00, THEY TOLD ME THAT THEY HAD REPAIRED THE PROBLEM AND GAVE ME THE CAR BACK. I RETURNED THE CAR TO THEM THE NEXT DAY BECAUSE THE AC LIGHT CAME BACK ON AND THE ACCELERATION PROBLEM STILL EXISTED. THEY REPLACED A FEW PARTS AND RETURNED THE CAR TO ME AFTER A FEW DAY. WELL THE PROBLEM WAS NOT CORRECTED AND THEY INSISTED THAT THERE WAS NOT AN ACCELERATION ISSUE WITH MY CAR AND WOULD NOT WORK ON IT ANY MORE. WELL WE HAVE DEAL WITH THIS ISSUE FOR ALMOST A YEAR LATER WHEN ON LAST NIGHT, MAY 25, 2010, MY HUSBAND AND I ALONG WITH MY GRANDSON WAS SITTING IN THE DRIVE THROUGH AT MCDONALDS WHEN WE PROCEEDED TO HAVE AN EXTREME SUDDEN ACCELERATION. IT REALLY SCARED ME AND MY HUSBAND. TO OUR SURPRISE THE PROBLEM EXIST. IT WANTED TO JET OFF AT THE STOP SIGN AND WHILE SHIFTING FROM PARK TO DRIVE AND WHILE BACKING UP. I'M RETURNING THE CAR ON TOMORROW TO SUTTON FORD WHO WAS TO DO THE FIRST REPAIR. THERE IS A SERIOUS PROBLEM WITH MY CAR AND I NEED TO GET TO THE BOTTOM OF IT BEFORE A SERIOUS INCIDENT OCCUR. *TR
