general problems of the 2005 Ford Five Hundred

I was driving my car it started to shake very hard well I heard a snap sound and my car started to drag I got out my frame above my right lower control had snapped ive read that many other people are having the same problem I contactes Ford about the issue and they said there is nothing they can do well I'm out of a vehicle but vefore all of this I kept going through fuel relay issues and eventually started losing my instrument cluster so now I'm fighting with them to do the repairs.

"takata recall" driver side front door won't latch close until car is warm up I sprayed it with wd40 this is the second time it did it to me. Car was parked.

The shift cable is burnt at the end. The gear shift started going from netural as drive and reverse was between park n reverse. The shop was going to ajust the linkage but upon looking found the cable was burnt. . It was also making a clicking sound when in park. Which was actually sparking the cable somehow. Park will roll so u have to use parking break.

Ac compress went out at 99804, now with 1420000 the ac compress is bad again.

After it rained, the temperature dropped below freezing. My door was difficult to open, but would not close or latch. It was frozen open. There is already a recall on this, but Ford dealers in the area says it does not apply to cars in the south. A recall is a recall. First of all, both TN and ok get snow and ice, and a recall is a recall. If I decide to move back to maine with this car, then I'll be able to get it fixed for free? what if decide to go skiing in colorado, but cannot leave because my door latches freeze?.

Was driving in heavy traffic through metro city in rush hour on interstate. On 4 lane highway had to cross 2 lanes of traffic to exit;car lost power and message center said engine fail safe mode. Tried to accelerate to exit;car had lost power with no acceleration. When I finally got to exit was down to 20 miles per hour.

I was driving down the road 35mph at the time and all of a sudden my car stops in the middle of the road and the wrench light came on. I had to cut the car off then sit for a few minutes then crank back up. The next time I drove it I was driving 55 mph and then all of a sudden it stopped while I was driving the wrench light came on again I was stuck in the road then after a few minutes I was able to crank back up. I drove the car for a few weeks so I decided to drive home one day on I-95 as I was driving it stopped again with crazy traffic. After this episode when I finally made it home I decided to park my car for several weeks until I called Ford to see if there was a warranty and they told me to bring my car to be repaired only to be told it was not under warranty and it would cost me $2000 to get my car repaired because there was a also a leak which is supposed to be under recall. I've read a lot of things going on with this car in particular the 2005 Ford Five Hundred. I called the Ford 800 number that the mechanic gave me to see if they would repair the throttle for my car they told me that its over the mileage warranty and there is nothing they can do and they didn't even apologize for my inconveniences when I was stopped on the road, I am currently using a borrowed car because I don't want to put my life in jeopardy driving this car until I am able to get it repaired.

Car drives on its own! if I do not have foot on gas on break it will continue to move. Said failsafe mode then check engine light illuminated, dash board said check engine check transmission then the light went out the following day. Now driving back to normal. I took to auto zone the day it went haywire & they advised me its a possible recall several ppl said the same issue with their Ford.

A throttle body warranty repair was done on this part on 1-26-13. On 6-6-13 vehicle lost the ability to go forward as I drove to work. Put car in reverse and got it off the road. Wrench light came on and attempted to drive and car still did not respond. After a few minutes of staying in park I put the car in drive and it did move without a problem. Got an appointment at Ford dealership to get the problem fixed. Was told after car was put on diagnostic test that the throttle body was sticking, and needed replaced. . Service advisor attempted to get body repaired under last recall but was unsuccessful . I then applied for the Ford service credit card and put the repair on it. . I think repair of part should of been covered under recall. . If this isn't regarded as a safety issue, please direct me to the the correct place.

I had previously had problems with unintended acceleration when parked and then putting the car into reverse (automatic transmission). After reading many complaints on your site in which consumers said the throttle body had been diagnosed as causing the problem, I had the dealership replace the throttle body. ( a few months later, Ford sent a letter offering to replace the throttle body). Despite having had the dealership replace the throttle body, the car continues to accelerate faster than it should sometimes when put in reverse and I must always be prepared to brake rapidly. If a driver was unaware of the problem or had slow reaction time, a car or person in a parking lot could be hit.

2005 Ford 500 , ac compressor stoped working at 63,000 miles , needs to be replaced , looking online and lot of Ford 500 owners have the same problem with low miles.

Takata recall door latches and links. As like all the other complaints when it gets cold my door will open but it will not close. When it first occurred my door flew open while I was driving. I looked up the recall but my VIN number was not included this does not make any sense to me. On a city street at 6:00 in the morning.
