Rear ended an 18 wheeler and totalled the car but the air bags did not deploy and it was a very bad accident.

During any wet weather, water intrudes into my doors and becomes trapped. When opening the doors, the water gushes out and you can hear water sloshing around inside. There has also been leakage from the front and rear passenger doors of water into the interior of my vehicle from the bottom of the doors being filled with water. During the cold weather, this water then freezes my locking mechanisms when opening and closing the doors. There is a recall for this exact issue with my model, but according to Ford my VIN is not included even though the issue also affects my car. There have been times when my door with "lock" but it is not completely closed and has opened while moving. Fords only resolution for me has been to fix the issue at my cost, and they will reimburse me "if" my car would be included in the recall. The car has been doing this since I first bought it used and there has been no resolution otherwise by Ford.

In extremely cold temperatures, the door will not latch or will pop open while driving. It has happened multiple times, but only in below freezing temperatures. Ford recall notice 06s45 describes it perfectly, but somehow my Ford Five Hundred is not included in the recall.

I was driving down the road about 45/55 mph going around a slight turn when all of a sudden the rear lower control arm and the mount its bolted to snaps lose and I start doing 360s thank god no one was in the other lane they'd be dead probably. Ford needs to fix this pos car cuz that's definitely a manufacturer problem.

I bought this vehicle in 2016 I've had problems with driver and passenger front doors. When it gets to cold both locks get frozen and doors will not close.

Gears did not shift right with intermittent acceleration until vehicle shut off while driving on highway, barely escaping accident. Vehicle would not start & had to be brought back to dealer. Dealer stated it was a pre-exiting condition despite vehicle not having any prior issues before recall service. Dealer diagnosed & agreed to replace fuel filter. Vehicle restarted, but still with intermittent acceleration and improper gear shift surges at any speed. On 4/6/13, while driving on highway vehicle experienced several engine failures, narrowly escaping accident again. Shortly after while completely stopped, vehicle lunged forward hitting another vehicle from behind, causing severe damage to both bumpers along with engine failure.

For several months car has been lunging forward without my foot on the gas. A couple weeks ago while pulling into my driving way it lunged and the car ran into my concrete steps causing 3,500 worth of damage. This is very dangerous and could have been one of my daughters. I really hope you take this seriously because once lives are lost you can't get them back. I just want Ford to fess up and to take responsibility for this problem, so I may get it fixed and not kill or injure anyone.

The vehicle lunges while holding the brake when putting into reverse or drive and continues to do so while waiting to pull into traffic making it very dangerous! it also does this while trying to park making it dangerous to park near anything! I have seen several complaints regarding this very same problem stating it is a throttle body defect that costs at lowest $700. 00 to repair. Front suspension is shot already with loud clunking noises, very rough ride! rear doors fill with water which will result in rust holes! all of these problems have been reported several times by other owners of this same year and make of vehicle. Ford should be responsible for the repairs needed to fix these problems.

Front driver floor board leaks water, especially when there is humid weather.

The rear passenger door of my 2006 Ford 500 fills with water everytime it rains. I cannot find way to release the water and the door is very heavy now. I am worried the door will be damaged and my baby's car seat is next to it. I actually noticed water in the door quite some time ago, but just realized how bad it has gotten after our latest bad thunderstorms/heavy rains.

Right roof molding was found missing after something fell of car on local trip. There is no way this item should come off under normal driving conditions. Dealer wants over $116. 00 to replace. This should be a warranty/recall item since it poses a risk to following traffic. The front windshield trim failed after just 5 months and also partially blew off on a trip. There is a quality control problem here. The left side roof molding also seems loose & I'm afraid I am going to lose it. I want the dealer to replace it free.

Every time it rains, my rear passage door fills with water. When there is a heavy rain, water also goes into the passenger front floor pan area.

Six months after we purchased our new Ford 500 from a local dealer we had mice in the car. They ate a hole in the rear seat and got into our winter survival gear including a down sleeping bag. The dealer was very cooperative and tracked how the mice got in. It was through the air release vents in the trunk. The mice simply came in through the vents that were designed to release air when the doors were closed. It was a design flaw. All Ford would have had to do was to include metal screen over the vents. When our local dealer asked Ford to cover the cost of replacing the seat they were told that the factory didn't cover mice. We live in a cold climate. Someone living in the south or southwest could have a lot nastier visitor in their car than a mouse. Even mice can chew on wires and trash a car in a short time. Ak.

I have taken my 2005 Ford 500 to my local Ford dealer so many times I can not count for the same recurring issues. This vehicle always lunges when I put in gear in reverse or forward. The car lunged backward striking a parked car the first week I got it. I paid for all damage cause I didn't want to claim new car on my insurance. While driving on highway engine starts to decelerate while trying to pass car or change lanes. . Big problem in traffic. . Have to floor it till it kicks into gear. Dangerous. Then, everytime it rains, all 4 doors fill with water. . I have to lift up rubber at the bottom. . Clear the holes. . Wait for 5 minutes each door. Every winter the driver side door latch freezes up and I can't close the door. . I thought they dealer fixed the door latch due to a safety recall. . That is not the case. . Several times, I have had to drive to work 15 minutes holding the door shut while driving down the highway. Dangerous. I have had it lubed with several products, doesn't work. . The service manager at my local Ford dealer showed me how to hold the door handle open while using a screwdriver to free the latch. . Handy little trick. I keep silicone lube spray, screwdriver, pliers, and a jumper box in the car at all times. I have called Ford motor CO. Many times. . Always got run around and no straight answers. Finally last week after calling 5 times, I was transferred to a supervisor that explained to me that the other 10 times I called. No complaint was filed and informed me on the complaint process. . I just purchased a new taurus and am hoping to let my son use the 500 to drive to college daily. . I am concerned about his safety in this car. . So unless these issues are addressed and corrected, I don't know what to do. . I have put a lot money into this car. What happen to the lemon law. This car is a lemon.
