2005 FORD FIVE HUNDRED. CONSUMER WRITES IN REGARD TO MALFUNCTIONS WITH THE VEHICLES TIRE JACK. *AS THE CONSUMER STATED WHEN THE JACK RAISED THE VEHICLE IT TWISTED. A SCREW WAS BENT ON THE JACK CAUSING THE VEHICLE TO DROP AND BUMP THE CONSUMER ON THE HEAD. THE CONSUMER REQUESTED A NEW JACK. *JS

THE CAR SHAKES AND MAKES LOTS OF NOISE. GOING UP HILL IS THE WORST FEELS LIKE THE CAR IS PUTTING ALONG.

WHILE THE CAR IS STARTED BUT AT A STOP, THE CAR IS FINE. WHEN THE CAR HAS THE GAS PETAL PUSHED DOWN, IT WILL NOT MOVE. THE CAR STALLS OUT WHILE DRIVING.

THIS HAS BEEN AN ISSUE IN OTHER FORD MODELS. IS THERE A RECALL? THERE NEEDS TO BE A RECALL BEFORE I GET RUN OVER BY OTHER VEHICLES WHEN MY ENGINE STALLS WHILE TRYING TO ACCELERATE! IT IS EXTREMELY DANGEROUS TO ENTER OR EXIT HIGHWAYS AND BELTWAYS WHEN ONE CANNOT BE SURE THE CAR ENGINE WILL REMAIN OPERATIONAL, POWER STEERING GUIDANCE WILL REMAIN AVAILABLE AND ANOTHER VEHICLE WILL NOT BE ABLE TO AVOID RUNNING INTO ME. VERY DANGEROUS TO EVERYONE ON THE HIGHWAY. I PERSONALLY CLEAN THE THROTTLE AND THIS IS STILL HAPPENING.

THE CAR WANTS TO ACCELERATE ON ITS OWN WHENEVER I GO FROM PARK TO DRIVE. THIS ALSO HAPPENS WHILE PUTTING CAR IN REVERSE. THIS IS VERY DANGEROUS AND MAKES ME VERY NERVOUS.

FORD TOLD ME IN 2012-2013 THERE WAS A RECALL ON THE INSTRUMENT CLUSTER, THE PREVIOUS CAR OWNER HAD BROUGHT TO DEALERSHIP AND FIX. WELL THE SAME ISSUE IS OCCURRING NOW ( 138KMILES) I STARTED THE CAR 4/1 AND THE REVERSE LIGHTS STAY ON, DASH BOARD GAUGES ARE OFF ( NO SPEED, RPM, FUEL GAUGE WORKING) THE VENTS WONT WORK. I CONTINUED TO DRIVE CAR FOR ABOUT 1-2 MILES ( AT FELT LIKE 35-45MPH) AND AS I AM DRIVING THE COMPUTER RESET ( CAR DID NOT TURN OFF, THIS IS STILL WHEN THE CAR IS IN MOTION) AND ALL THE GAUGES STARTED TO WORK. FORD SAID THAT THE RECALL IS CLOSED AND THERE IS NOTHING THEY CAN DO EXCEPT HAVE ME SPEND MONEY FOR THEM TO DIAGNOSE. THE SAME PROBLEM IS OCCURRING ON THIS CAR THE FORD RECALL SUPPOSE FIXED IN 2013. FORD NEEDS TO RESEARCH THIS SAME ISSUE AS IT IS DANGEROUS WHEN THIS DOES OCCUR. I WOULD LIKE A RESOLUTION TO THIS ISSUE. I DO HAVE A CASE # WITH FORD CASE # 14495583.

MY CAR WOULDN'T PICK UP SPEED THEN I RECEIVE A SUDDEN THRUST CAUSING IT TO HAVE A SMALL JERK THEN TAKES OFF. RECENTLY ITS BEEN SHOWING A RANCH LIGHT KNOW FOR THROTTLE BODY ISSUES CODE P2111 AND P2104. THIS CAUSES MY CAR TO STALL IN THE MIDDLE OF TRAFFIC ESPECIALLY ON THE HIGHWAY WHICH IS A HUGE CONCERN.

VEHICLE DOWNSHIFTS VERY HARD WHEN BRAKING OR WHEN TRYING TO PASS SOMEONE AND YOU GIVE IT GAS AND IT DOWNSHIFTS TO ACCELERATE IT'S LIKE THE VEHICLE GOES INTO NEUTRAL. I WAS DOING 70MPH WITH SOMEONE ON MY REAR END ON I-77N AND WHEN I TRIED TO SPEED UP TO GET OUT OF HIS WAY CAR SHIFTED REALLY HARD TO WHERE I THOUGHT SOMETHING BROKE AND STARTED TO SLOW DOWN QUICKLY. SINCE I HAD THE CRUISE CONTROL ON THE CAR SHOT UP TO 7000 RPM. SO I HIT THE BREAK TO SHUT OFF CRUISE CONTROL ALL THE WHILE THIS DRIVER BEHIND ME WAS ABOUT TO GET INTO MY REAR END I QUICKLY MOVED INTO THE RIGHT LANE THEN OVER TO THE BIRM. AT ABOUT 35MPH THE TRANSMISSION ENGAGED AGAIN AND I IMMEDIATELY DROVE THE CAR HOME. I TOOK IT TO THE FORD DEALERSHIP AND THEY RECOMMENDED A VALVE BODY REPLACEMENT @$3000. I HAVE READ HUNDREDS OF BLOGS ON THIS TOPIC AND HUNDREDS OF FORD 500 OWNERS SAYS THE REBUILD REPAIR DOES NOT FIX THE PROBLEM AND THEY'RE JUST OUT $3K OR EVEN MORE AND FORD REFUSES TO RECALL THEM AND FIX THE CARS
