ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING:COOLING SYSTEM
IN MY 2005 FORD FIVE HUNDRED SEDAN, THE COMPRESSOR FOR THE AIR CONDITIONING DOES NOT WORK PROPERLY. THE AIR COMPRESSOR WILL NOT COOL THE CAR UNLESS YOU ARE DRIVING AT OR ABOVE HIGHWAY SPEED. WHEN SITTING AT IDLE OR DRIVING AROUND TOWN, AIR CONDITIONING SYSTEM WILL BLOW HOT AIR INSTEAD OF COLD. THE COMPRESSOR MUST BE REPLACED IN ORDER FOR AIR CONDITIONING SYSTEM TO WORK PROPERLY. SEEMS TO BE A VERY COMMON PROBLEM WITH 2005 AND 2006 FORD FIVE HUNDRED SEDANS. *TR

ENGINE
WE WERE DRIVING DOWN A HIGHWAY AND WENT TO GET BACK TO SPEED AFTER PASSING THROUGH A SPEED ZONE. I NOTICED A DECREASE IN POWER AND LOOKED AT THE INFORMATION SCREEN. THE FAIL SAFE MODE AND THE "WRENCH" ICON WAS ON. I PULLED THE CAR OVER AND TURNED IT OFF. I THEN TURNED IT ON AND THE CAR ACTED NORMAL. IT HAS HAPPENED TWICE SINCE THE FIRST INCIDENT. MY WIFE TOOK IT TO THE DEALERSHIP AND FORD CANNOT DUPLICATE THE PROBLEM AND THE ISSUE DOES NOT THROW A CHECK ENGINE CODE OR LEAVES ANY TYPE OF ELECTRONIC HISTORY OF THE ISSUE. I CANNOT ALLOW MY WIFE TO DRIVE THIS CAR BECAUSE SHE IS SEVEN MONTH PREGNANT AND CANNOT HAVE HER DRIVE IT IF THE CAR BREAKS DOWN DUE TO THIS ISSUE. *TR
