2006 Ford 500

FIRST OFF I COULDN'T GET THE DATE TO POPULATE THE CORRECT DATE THIS PROBLEM HAS BEEN HAPPENING FOR YEARS BUT THE YEAR ON THE DATE SECTION WOULDN'T CHANGE FOR ME. SO WHENEVER IAM PULLING INTO A PARKING SPACE LIKE AT THE GROCERY STORE ITS LIKE THE CAR GIVES GAS AND LUNGES FORWARD WHILE AS IAM ONLY DOING MAYBE 3 MPH I HAVE TO HIT THE BRAKE HARDER BECAUSE MY FOOT IS ALREADY ON THE BRAKE FROM PULLING INTO A PARKING SPACE WITH A CAR ON LEFT AND RIGHT OF ME IN ORDER TO NOT HIT THE CAR THAT IS PARKED IN FRONT. WHEN PUTTING THE CAR INTO GEAR FROM PARK ITS LIKE IT LUNGES ONCE I GET INTO GEAR. WHEN IN PARK AND I TURN THE STEERING WHEEL FROM LEFT TO RIGHT THE CAR LIKE LUNGES AS IF IM GIVING IT GAS WITH IT IN GEAR WITH FOOT ON GAS. IM NOT SURE WHAT IS WRONG I'VE LOOKED UP MY VIN FOR RECALLS AND NOTHING IS RECALLED. I'VE ALSO READ OTHER PEOPLES COMPLAINTS WHICH SOME ARE THE SAME OR SIMILAR TO MINE AND NOT SURE WHY THIS VEHICLE IS RECALLED. *TR

ALL OF A SUDDEN THE CAR STARTED TO RUN BIT SLOW THAN USUAL BEFORE THE INCIDENT AND SHORTLY AFTER THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON. WE TOOK IT TO O'REILLY AUTO PARTS AND WE WERE INFORMED THERE IS A MALFUNCTION IN THE THROTTLE BODY AND IT NEEDS TO BE REPLACED. THE THROTTLE BODY LISTED PRICE IS $562 AND WHEN WE TOOK THE QUOTE IT WAS ON SALE FOR $331.99. WE ARE YET TO GET THIS FIXED AND WILL KEEP THE RECEIPTS FOR THE RECORDS. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 FORD 500. WHILE DRIVING 34 MPH, THE VEHICLE ACCELERATED INDEPENDENTLY AND THE ENGINE STALLED. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC WHO DIAGNOSED THAT THE THROTTLE BODY NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 97,200.

THE ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON AFTER MY CAR WAS SERVICE BY A PERSONAL MECHANIC. WHEN CONTACTED, HE INFORMED ME THAT THE SYSTEM JUST NEEDS TO BE RESET. WHILE DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY AT 65 TO POSSIBLY 70, THE GAS PEDAL DISENGAGE, I FELT A JERK FROM THE ENGINE AND CAR STARTED TO SLOW DOWN BY ITSELF, THE GAS PEDAL WOULD NOT ENGAGE WHEN PRESSED DOWN. LUCKILY, I WAS CLOSE TO AN EXIT AND TOOK IT. I STOPPED, PRAYED TO AVOID PANIC ATTACK, THE CAR WOULD DRIVE ON REVERSE MANY TIMES WITH NO PROBLEM BUT WOULD NOT GO FORWARD WHEN PRESSING ON GAS EXCEPT BY ITSELF VERY SLOWLY. HAD TO LEAVE IT AT A CHURCH AND WENT BACK THE NEXT DAY WITH MY MECHANIC. THE CAR WOULD ENGAGE WITH NO PROBLEM. I WENT TO PEPBOYS FOR A DIAGNOSTIC TEST AND WAS TOLD TO HAVE MY SPARK PLUGS CHANGED. THEY DID AND SERVICE EVERYTHING ELSE, MY BILL WAS ABOUT $475. 2 DAYS LATER, THE SAME PROBLEM OCCURRED, ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON AND LATER ON CAR STOPPED THE SAME WAY AGAIN ON THE HIGHWAY WHILE GOING TO WORK. HAD IT CHECK BY A DIFFERENT MECHANIC, COULD NOT SEE ANY ENGINE PROBLEM NOR TRANSMISSION PROBLEM, BUT ADVISE ME TO TAKE IT TO FORD DEALERSHIP TO CHECK ENGINE LIGHT. I AM AFRAID TO GO BECAUSE MY SAVINGS IS NOT YET $500. TO BE ABLE TO PAY FOR ANY SERVICE REQUIRED. WILL KEEP YOU POSTED. *JS
