SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC:FOUNDATION COMPONENTS:DISC
THE FORD FIVE HUNDRED HAD REAR BRAKE PAD AND ROTOR FAILURES AFTER ONLY 22,137 MILES. THIS REQUIRED REPLACING THE PADS AND ROTORS AT MY EXPENSE. MY LAST CAR REQUIRED NEW BRAKES AT 53,000 MILES. IN ADDITION ONLY THE REAR BRAKES WERE WARN OUT. THE FRONT PADS WERE STILL OKAY. IN MY OPINION THIS WAS CLEARLY EITHER A DESIGN FAILURE OR A MATERIALS FAILURE. I CONTACTED FORD, AND WAS TOLD THAT BRAKES WERE A WEAR ITEM, AND THEY WILL DO NOTHING. FROM THE NUMBER OF CASES OF THIS TYPE FAILURE ON THE FORD FIVE HUNDRED AND THE MERCURY MONTEGO, ON THIS WEB SITE I WOULD THINK AN INVESTIGATION WOULD BE STARTED. *AK

SUSPENSION
MY FORD BEGAN ACTING STRANGELY WHEN TURNING, AND WOULD HYDROPLANE BADLY WHEN RAINING. I TOOK IT TO MY INDEPENDENT GARAGE AND THEY FOUND THAT THE LEFT LOWER BALL JOINT RETAINING NUT HAD WORKED LOOSE. THAT CAUSED THE LEFT FRONT WHEEL TO MOVE IN TOWARD THE BALL JOINT AND THE JOINT OR NUT TORE THE TIRE DOWN TO THE STEEL BELT. THE SERVICE MANAGER INDICATED THAT IT APPEARED THAT THE NUT WAS NOT TORQUED CORRECTLY AT THE FACTORY. OF COURSE, I HAD TO HAVE THE BALL JOINT REPLACED AND TWO NEW TIRES. I DID NOTIFY FORD MOTOR CO. *TR
