Car Stall problems of the 2006 Ford Five Hundred

This vehicle has had a surging and stalling issue ever since it was purchased. It would come and go throughout the years but got much worse recently. When stopped at a light for instance the idle speed becomes low and sometimes stalls. It will surge making slow turns and surge when put into drive. It will surge forward when turning into a parking spot and in many other instances. If you are in drive and put it into park the rpm will also surge as high as 2500. Since I have been reading up on the issue I noticed that there was a letter sent out to owners of my model which I did not receive. The problem was supposed to be addressed for free per r12n03. Of course the coverage ended on 03/31/2013. I did not receive this notice and should still be able to get this repair done for free. It should be a recall.

The vehicle will stall and jerk. The vehicle will lunge out even when the brake is pressed. It has done this in parking lots and while driving. This is dangerous as it almost caused an accident by jerking backward immediately when I shifted to reverse when I was in the parking lot- my foot was on the brake and the car still excelled.

The contact owns a 2006 Ford Five Hundred. The contact stated that the vehicle stalled without warning while driving 30 mph. The contact did not take the vehicle to a dealer or local mechanic for diagnosis or repairs. The failure mileage was 68,780.

I have owned my 2006 Ford 500 for 5 yrs and have had and issue for the last 2 yrs. While braking, the car will lurch and I mean really jump forward (or also in reverse) while rpm's surge/rev extremely high causing me to press very,very hard on the brakes at times slamming down to keep the car from going out of control by itself. Sometimes the car will stall when the rpm's are dropping down. This happens at different times of day and seems to be more often when it is warmer. It has happened while slowing into a parking space, backing up, pulling away from stopping at a light or stop sign. It is completely random and you never know when or if it will happen. I am always extremely cautious when there are people around when I slow down to less then 15mph or back up. There is something mechanically wrong with this car. It should never be in control of moving by itself when the brakes are applied. It is a very scary situation and can happen multiple times a day. I have taken in to dealership and explained these "symptoms" but they just say they don't know what it could be and will have to check it out while it is happening. I would like Ford to take some responsibility as this seems to be happening to most 500's and it is well known by many but not acknowledged by Ford. This could be a very serious situation if someone is within 15ft when the car goes out of control all by itself and the driver is not ready. Please watch out if you are next to a Ford 500.
