Complaint
2006
POWER TRAIN
IN MULTIPLE INCIDENTS, ON HOT SUMMER DAYS, THE CAR HAS SUDDENLY ACCELERATED (WITH NO FOOT ON THE ACCELERATOR) WHEN BACKING OUT OF PARKING SPACES AND SOMETIMES WHEN PUT INTO DRIVE RIGHT AFTER THE SUDDEN ACCELERATION IN REVERSE. IT HAS REQUIRED RAPID, FIRM BRAKING TO PREVENT THE CAR FROM HITTING OTHER VEHICLES. ABOUT A WEEK AFTER THE PROBLEM STARTED WITH THIS CAR, IT STARTED TO HAPPEN OCCASIONALLY WITH MY OTHER FORD FIVE HUNDRED (A 2005 MODEL WITH A LITTLE LESS MILEAGE). A SEPARATE COMPLAINT HAS BEEN FILED ON THAT VEHICLE. RESEARCH ONLINE HAS REVEALED THAT HUNDREDS OF FORD FIVE HUNDRED OWNERS HAVE REPORTED THIS ISSUE AND THAT THE THROTTLE BODY IS THE LIKELY CULPRIT. *TR

POWER TRAIN:AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION
I HAVE A FORD FIVE HUNDRED 2005 SEL.WITH ONLY 50,000 MILES ON IT. WHEN THE CAR GETS WARM THE TRANSMISSION WILL SHIFT IN TO A LOWER GEAR WHILE DRIVING ON THE ROAD. I WAS ALMOST HIT FROM BEHIND BECAUSE OF THIS. I NOTICED ON THE INTERNET THAT THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM WITH FORDS. *TR
