2006 Ford Five Hundred

2006 FORD FIVE HUNDRED SURGING AT LOW SPEED WHEN PUTTING INTO DRIVE AND REVERSE. THIS PROBLEM GAS OCCURRED ON MANY OCCASIONS WITH NEAR MISSES ON PARKING AND PEDESTRIANS AND MY RESEARCH HAS FOUND IT TO BE AN ISSUE WITH THE THROTTLE BODY CONTROL. WHEN IS THIS AGENCY GOING TO HELP THE CONSUMER IN A CASE AGAINST FORD?? ITS BEEN HAPPENING SINCE 2005 ON MANY OF THESES MODELS??? *KB

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 FORD FIVE HUNDRED. THE CONTACT STATED AS SHE ACCELERATED FROM A TRAFFIC LIGHT THE VEHICLE WOULD SUDDENLY ACCELERATE CAUSING THE RPMS TO INCREASE EXCESSIVELY. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER WHO DIAGNOSED THE THROTTLE BODY AS BEING DEFECTIVE. THE REPAIR COST WAS $900. THE MANUFACTURER WAS CONTACTED BUT OFFERED NO ASSISTANCE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 67,673.

WHILE PUTTING THE FORD FIVE HUNDRED IN REVERSE THE CAR BRIEFLY ACCELERATED AND LUNGED BACKWARDS BARLEY MISSING ANOTHER CAR. THINKING I MIGHT HAD HIT THE ACCELERATOR I WENT ON TO WHERE I WAS HEADED. AS I WAS LEAVING MY DESTINATION ONCE AGAIN THE CAR JUST TOOK OFF WHILE IN REVERSE. THE CAR THEN GAVE A WRENCH FAULT ON THE CONSOLE. I LOOKED UP THE ISSUE IN THE MANUAL AND IT SAID IT WAS A THROTTLE CONTROL ISSUE. I SPOKE WITH THE DEALER TODAY AND THEY SAID IT WAS A THROTTLE BODY PROBLEM. UPON INVESTIGATION I FIND THAT THIS IS A RECURRING ISSUE. IF SOMEONE HAD BEEN WITHIN 3 TO 5 FEET OF MY AUTO I WOULD HAVE HIT THEM.

2006 FORD FIVE HUNDRED SEL ON SEVERAL OCCASIONS OUR 2006 FORD FIVE HUNDRED HAS ACCELERATED WHILE PULLING INTO A PARKING SPOT IN A PARKING LOT OR INTO OUR GARAGE. THIS USUALLY OCCURS WHILE OUR FOOT IS ON THE BRAKE AT IDLE SPEED. ACCELERATION VARIES FROM MILD TO VERY NOTICEABLE BY THE PASSENGERS. CONCERNED ABOUT HITTING PEDESTRIANS OR OTHER VEHICLES OR LOSING CONTROL OF VEHICLE. *KB

THE ENGINE SURGES WHEN YOU PUT IN DRIVE OR REVERSE. THIS IS VERY DANGEROUS. THIS IS MY WIFE'S CAR AND THIS PROBLEM HAS ME CONCERNED ABOUT HER SAFETY EVERY TIME SHE GETS IN THIS CAR. I THOUGHT ABOUT GETTING RID OF IT BUT I COULDN'T LET SOMEONE ELSE HAVE A CAR WITH THIS DANGEROUS PROBLEM. I HOPE SOMEONE CAN FIND OUT WHAT THE REMEDY IS FOR THIS PROBLEM. PLEASE HELP. *TR

WHILE RUNNING THE AIR CONDITIONER, THEN EITHER BRIEFLY SHUTTING OFF ENGINE OR IDLING IN PARK OR NEUTRAL, ONCE THE CAR IS SHIFTED INTO DRIVE GEAR THE ENGINE ACCELERATES ON ITS OWN, FOOT BREAK IS ON. RPMS INCREASE FOR 3-4 SECONDS THEN GO BACK DOWN TO NORMAL. THE CAR WAS UNABLE TO LURCH FORWARD ONLY BECAUSE I'VE HAD MY FOOT ON THE BREAK DUE TO MY SHIFTING OF GEARS (FROM PARK OR NEUTRAL TO DRIVE). THE FIRST TIME THIS HAPPENED I ONLY HAD THE BREAK PEDAL SLIGHTLY DEPRESSED - CAR JUMPED FORWARD - I FULLY DEPRESSED BRAKE PEDAL TO STOP. OCCURS INTERMITTENTLY BUT INTENSITY OF SURGE INCREASING. YESTERDAY HAD A MUCH STRONGER SURGE IN DRIVE-THRU, THEN CAR STALLED. WAS ABLE TO RESTART, ENGINE LIGHT HAS REMAINED ON SINCE YESTERDAY'S INCIDENT. TOP MOTOR MOUNT DAMPER (ROUND RUBBER DISK) IS CRACKED THRU AS WELL, PROBABLY DUE TO LURCHING.

DEAR SIR, MY CAR SURGES WHEN YOU TAKE IT OUT OF PARK WITH THE BRAKE APPLIED AND RELEASE THE BRAKE, IT WILL SURGE EITHER DIRECTION FORWARD OR REVERSE, REVERSE SEEMS TO BE THE MOST FREQUENT, IT DOES NOT SURGE EVERY TIME ABOUT 5 OUT OF 20 TIMES. VERY DANGEROUS WHEN TRYING TO BACK OUT OF PARKING SPACES, FORD DEALERS SAID THEY COULD FIND NO PROBLEM. THE PROBLEM IS VERY REAL..
