Whenever it rains, the rear doors fill up with water. You can only get so much water out so it probably is forming mold and rusting the car door from the inside. This has been going on for the last couple years whenever it rains or the car is washed in the carwash.
2006 Ford Five Hundred with poorly designed front end. Consumer states that vehicle front end is low enough that it scrapes driveways and curbs. When the consumer slowly drove up the driveway, where there was slightly more than a normal incline, the front end scraped the driveway and tore the right side inner wheel well and mud flap completely out of the wheel well and the vehicle veered to the right out of control. There was no body damage to the vehicle.
I have a 2006 Ford 500 that has a very bad glare on the windshield. When I inquires about the problem, I was told there was 3 such complaints made at that same dealership. I was also told there was nothing that could be done, it was caused by the way the glass was made.
: the contact stated while driving 65mph and a semi truck drives past, the hood will raise a fourth of an inch. Wind comes through the radiator and raises the hood. Upon inspection the dealer agreed the problem occurs, but was unable to create a remedy.
