Engine Problems of Ford Five Hundred

I own a 2005 Ford 500. The car has started lurching forward on its own. I have been reading forums and hundreds of other people are having the same problems. They say it is the throttle body. Ford should have a recall on the 500 . The Ford freestyle is having the same problem. Do people have to die or be run over before something is done. It is extremely scary when my car lurches forward on its own. Help, please help!.

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.

Our 2007 Ford 500 currently has 63,000 miles on it. At about 53,000 miles we started to see a random "surge" of the throttle when we were shifting the car from park to reverse or from reverse to drive. It has continued to get progressively worse, now occurring almost every time we shift the car from the positions noted above. This is a definite safety issue that Ford needs to address. From all of the online forums, this behavior is not isolated to just one car//one owner but rather seems to be a common problem. Also, on a separate note, our ac failed at 63,000 miles, the compressor needing replacement. Although this is not a safety issue, again this seems to be a common problem.

My Ford 500 has been lunging forward and backward while in drive and reverse. It has done it several times in drive almost causing me to hit the car in front of me. It does especially when the air conditioner is on. I have not had the care repaired as of this date. Research show that this currently happening to more than a normal amount of Ford 500 owners. I have email Ford about this problem and I am waiting on a response.

2005 Ford 500 with approx. 85,000 miles lurches forward or in reverse without pressing the accelerator after period of idle such as at a red light or in line at a drive through restaurant. The lurch is significant, violent enough to make passenger think they were hit from behind. I narrowly avoided collisions with cars in front or behind me. Dealer informed me that it was caused by a defective throttle body. Parts to repair are back ordered with a 2 month wait and a cost of $500. 00. This is no longer covered by warranty or extended warranty. This defect is dangerous.

I have a 2005 Ford Five Hundred and as I was driving up the grape vine in California the transmission started bucking, and kicked in to neutral, I almost got ran off the highway at a couple thousand feet elevation by a semi because the vehicle would not go.

Was driving in town on Tuesday morning and my Ford 500 (2005) shut down and the message failsafe engine mode came on along with a wrench. This could have been potentially dangerous, I was fortunate that this occurrence happened when there was not a lot of traffic on the road. Car is now immovable and waiting to be towed in to dealership.

Consumer 2005 Ford 500 door came open while driving. Water leaked into the vehicle from the doors. The dealer replaced both front door latches and new water canels. The dash had a bubble in the leather and the dealer replaced it. The molding was coming off the vehicle. The vehicle would not start on one occasion.
