2007 FORD FIVE HUNDRED Complaints

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 FORD FIVE HUNDRED. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE VEHICLE SURGED FORWARD WHILE STOPPED WITH THE BRAKES ENGAGED. THE VEHICLE WOULD ALSO SURGE BACKWARDS WHILE REVERSING. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN AUTHORIZED DEALER WHERE A FAILURE WAS DIAGNOSED WITHIN THE THROTTLE BODY. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 75,000 AND THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 80,000.

CAR WAS JERKING ON ACCELERATION, WAS TOLD THERE WERE NO CODES EVEN THOUGH THE LIGHT WAS FLASHING IT IS STILL DOING IT ONLY WORSE THE LIGHT IS ON SOLID NOW AND THE CAR IS NOW OUT OF WARRANTY. IT WOULD ALSO JERK WHEN TAKEN OUT OF PARK OR WHEN IN TRAFFIC SITTING IDLE, ONCE I THOUGHT I WAS REAR ENDED. I TOOK IT TO THE MECHANICS AND THEY TOLD ME THIS IS 'NORMAL' BEHAVIOR AND THERE WAS NOTHING WRONG WITH THE CAR. IT WILL NOT EVEN STAY RUNNING NOW WHEN WARM AND IT DIES. *TR

THE AIR CONDITION IN THIS CAR STOPPED WORKING; ONLY HOT AIR WAS BLOWING OUT. AFTER TAKING IT TO A MECHANIC, I WAS TOLD IT WAS DUE TO A LEAKING AIR COMPRESSOR. I WAS TOLD MULTIPLE FORD FIVE HUNDRED'S HAVE BEEN TAKEN IN FOR THE SAME PROBLEM. MY HUSBAND ALSO DRIVES A 2007 FORD FUSION AND IS HAVING THE EXACT SAME ISSUE WITH HIS VEHICLE. I CALLED SEVERAL MECHANIC'S AND DEALERSHIPS TO TRY AND GET A PRICE COMPARISON FOR THIS ISSUE AND ALL OF THEM TOLD ME THE SAME THING - THIS ISSUE HAS BEEN HAPPENING WITH SO MANY 2007 FORD VEHICLES...I THINK THIS DESERVES SOME RESEARCH. THE COMPRESSOR SHOULD NOT GO OUT IN A CAR AT 72,000 MILES.

2007 FORD 500 TRANSMISSION PROBLEM. DRIVING ON INTERSTATE AND THE TRANSMISSION STARTS TO BUCK OUT OF THE BLUE. CANNOT PASS PEOPLE ON NORMAL ROADS OR BARELY MAKE IT UP HILLS, ACCELERATION IS VERY SLOW. FAILURE OCCURS EVERY TIME THE CAR IS DRIVEN, GETTING WORSE EVERY DAY. IT USED TO OCCUR AT HIGHER SPEEDS, NOW IT IS HAPPENING ANYWHERE ABOVE 30MPH. HAVE NOT DONE ANYTHING TO CORRECT PROBLEM, BEEN READING UP ON IT; AND EVERYONE HAS THE PROBLEM AND THERE IS NO "CHEAP" FIX YET. *TR

2007 FORD 500 CAR SURGES IN DRIVE AND REVERSE. WHEN BACKING OUT OF PARKING PLACES CAR MOTOR RACES AND CAR SURGES 3 TO 4 FEET. SO FAR WE HAVE NOT HIT ANYONE. *TR

I WORK FOR A CHEVY DEALER AND THEY DIAGNOSED MY 2007 FORD FIVE HUNDRED WITH A BAD RIGHT FRONT LOWER BALL JOINT. MY CAR ONLY HAS 56,000 MILES. I HAVE HAD TROUBLE WITH TIRES, ALIGNMENT AND CHECKING ONLINE I SEE OTHER PEOPLE COMPLAINING ABOUT BAD BALL JOINTS ON THEIR 500'S. *TR

POWER STEERING IS HARD TO TURN MOST OF THE TIME, AND SOMETIMES IT'S EASY. IT KEEPS GOING IN AND OUT. IT'S A 2007 FORD FIVE HUNDRED. *TR

I JUST BOUGHT MY 2007 FORD FIVE HUNDRED 3 WEEKS AGO AND I WAS DRIVING AND ALL OF A SUDDEN THE RPM STARTING GOING UP REALLY HIGH THE THROTTLE LIGHT(WRENCH) CAME ON AND MY CAR STARTED SLOWING DOWN. I PULLED OVER, JUST AVOIDED GETTING SMASHED IN THE REAR FROM A TRUCK AND MY CAR STOPPED MOVING. I CUT THE CAR OFF THEN TRIED TO CRANK IT BACK UP AT FIRST IT DIDN'T START THEN IT CRANKED 2ND TIME BUT THEN THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT WAS ON AND STAYED ON. I TOOK IT TO A MECHANIC HE SAID SOMETHING ABOUT A THROTTLE CODE HE SAID HE WANTED TO GIVE IT A SECOND CHANCE. HE RESET THE CODES AND ALL LIGHTS WERE OFF. WELL, ABOUT 2 DAYS LATER WHILE DRIVING TO WORK THE SAME THING HAPPENED WHICH HE SAID SHOULDN'T HAPPEN ANYMORE. I CALLED HE SAID SOMETHING ABOUT FORD HAVING TO ORDER THE PART AND FIX THE CAR. I WENT ON SEVERAL ONLINE FORUMS AND FOUND THAT MANY OTHER FORD 500 HUNDRED CUSTOMERS WERE/ARE HAVING THE SAME PROBLEM AND WHEN THEY TRIED TO GET IT FIXED IT ONLY RE-APPEARED AGAIN LATER. SOMETHING IS NOT RIGHT WITH THIS. THIS SHOULD BE A RECALL.. SINCERELY, VERY VERY UNSATISFIED FIRST TIME FORD CUSTOMER....... *TR
