Throttle had it fixed with recall, it lunges you into traffic while stopped. Again it has done that now failed, this is a dangerous car. It is garage kept and well maintained went down to get gas, mail and while stopped it jerked me out of the stopped position into the mailbox then the wrench, traction and engine light came on and it bucked till I got it 10 feet to the garage no, it will not start!!! to even get it to the dealership or garage, its a safety feature I was told, the way it lunges is dangerous, I almost went through he garage wall which is concrete, last time I hit my teeth on the steering wheel and knocked one back out of alignment. Which the Ford person thought was funny last time. Ford knows this is a dangerous car, it should be replaced and these should be crushed like the demon car they are. People spend hard earned money on these vehicles all for this to happen?.
I don't know if this belongs in engine or fuel/propulsion system. There was no mention of �gas peddle� in either. The date of 07/17/2013 is approximate. It may have been between 2013 - 2015. I am not sure of the exact dates. It was when I was going to a pain specialist in buffalo after my rear-end accident in my previous car in July 2012. Location - I-190 & NY-198 buffalo, NY 14207 42. 930405, -78. 899552 merge ramp from the NY-198 to the I-190 north. 2007 Ford Five Hundred the problem: the gas peddle stuck when I had to do a fast acceleration / I floored it. I had to put the car in neutral and press the gas peddle a couple times to get it unstuck. I had it in to the Ford dealer where I bought it and they fixed or cleaned something. The Ford dealer said that it would cost about $400. 00 to replace the component if this didn't work. It happened again when I did another fast acceleration. I was able again to get it unstuck. I have not had the occasion to do a fast acceleration since. I don't run it fast if I can help it.
My throttle body went completely out at 99481 miles. I paid approx. $800 for the repair/replacement. Ford motor company reimbursed for the service on 12/11/2012 after so many complaints had been made about the throttle body in this model that they were paying for previous services for any repairs/replacements made for this part. I believe the replacement part used was also defective, and made mention of my concern to my Ford dealership at the time. They agreed that there was no guarantee that I did not receive a defective replacement part as the new part they were using a year later was different. I have had my replacement throttle body cleaned and re-programmed several times (at least twice a year since the replacement). Ford motor company will do nothing now that I have been told I need a new throttle body which is about an $800 repair. Ford motor company needs to do something to make those of us, who received a faulty or defective replacement part, us whole. I hope that others will make it known if they have had a defective replacement throttle body.
Ford 2007 500 is launging forward when foot is on the brake . . . This began about a year ago . On and off I thought it was bad gass but now that I have used the recommended fuel for my time of owning the car it does it more . Especially when the air is on . . But even when it not.
