Structure Problems of Ford Five Hundred

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 been trying to work with Ford ref # 366023289, and korum Ford in puyallup for a "water intrusion" problem on our Ford Five Hundred. After investigating this problem I see thousands of people with the same problem. I have kept good records of these emails and have a bill from korum. If you search for the problem it is everywhere, and people are suffering financially dealing with it because Ford is not holding up their end. There is one recall on "door latches" leading to some of the water intrusion, but it is so horrible for the ones like us who have puddles of water in the driver's side and water in the doors sloshing around. Korum supposedly fixed the problem, then charged us for the fix because our extended warranty has ran out, although we've complained many times while it was still a good warranty. Please check the "Ford forum", and please tell the people paying out of pocket that all of us are having trouble with this issue. My husband is not feeling well so I'm afraid there can be mold/mildew under the wet carpet causing health problems.

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.

: the contact stated there was an intermittent whistling noise coming from under the dash. The dealership refused to address the problem; therefore, no repairs have been made.

The contact owns a 2005 Ford new model 500 that had a light tan interior including the dashboard. Due to the interior color there was a reflection from the windshield that was present only in daylight hours. There have been no accidents or injuries, but the contact wished to file a safety complaint at this time. The contact put a black blanket to eliminate the reflection while driving during the day. This was no longer a problem with the contact. The contact contacted Ford, and they would not return his calls regarding the matter.

Consumer complained about reflection of dashboard on windshield. The tan colored dashboard reflected in the windshield even in the daylight, but it was worse in the sun, causing poor visibility of front windshield. Consumer said that reflection of windshield in the sun light was very bad and very dangerous.

Dt: consumer states he has a new 2005 Ford Five Hundred. The dash reflects so much on the inside of the windshield that he cannot see through the windshield. He does not know if it is due to the color of the dash or if it is the windshield itself. The inside of the window is the same color as the dash, a tan color. He noticed this the first sun day after he bought the car back in February. The dealer said they couldn't do anything. Ford motor company suggested he trade vehicles. He says that at night and on cloudy days he can see just fine. It's just when there's a lot of sunshine on the windshield.

2005 Ford Five Hundred with a paint defect. Consumer states that there was a recall on the paint but was stopped. He also discovered a service bulletin for 2000 thru 2005 models due to iron contamination. The consumer stated he discovered a small section of the hood with cracked paint.
