2006 Ford 500

THE CAR HAS BEEN ACCELERATING AND SHUTTING DOWN ON THE INTERSTATE IN THE MIDDLE OF TRAFFIC. I CONTACTED FORD AND THEY ADVISED ME TO TAKE IT TO THE DEALERSHIP TO BE FIXED. TO THIS DATE IT HAS NOT. WE RECEIVED A RECALL TO CLEAN THE THROTTLE BODY AND THE DEALERSHIP DID AND THAT IS IT. LESS THAN 50 MILES LATER THE CAR SHUT DOWN IN TRAFFIC WITH MY TWO SMALL CHILDREN IN THERE. THAT COULD HAVE BEEN A TRAGEDY. TOOK IT BACK TO THE DEALERSHIP AND THE DEALER SAID TO DRIVE IT AND BRING IT BACK TO CLEAR THE CODES OUT. THE CODES OF P2112, P2114 & P2104 ALL SHOWED. WHEN I CONTACT FORD'S CUSTOMER SERVICE DEPARTMENT THEY TOLD ME IF THE CODES SHOWED THEN IT WOULD BE COVERED FOR REPLACEMENT AND IT IS NOT. *TR

YOU CAN BE DRIVING 15 MPH TO 70MPH AND THE VEHICLE WILL STALL IT'S STILL RUNNING BUT WON'T GO YOU CAN TURN THE KEY OFF AND RESTART THE VEHICLE AND IT GOES. BUT IT MAY GO 2 FEET OR 20 MILES I'M A AUTO TECH I CLEANED THE THROTTLE BODY LIKE FORD SAID AND FORD REPROGRAMMED THE PCM AND THAT DID NOT HELP. THE VEHICLE STILL STALLS GOING DOWN THE ROAD AND YOU HAVE TO PULL OVER AND KILL IT AND RESTART THE VEHICLE. FORD JUST PUT A LOT OF BAD PARTS ON THESE FIVE HUNDREDS MAINLY THE THROTTLE BODY. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 FORD 500. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE VEHICLE STALLED WHILE DRIVING 35 MPH. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER WHO CLEANED THE THROTTLE BODY AND REPROGRAMMED THE PCM HOWEVER, THE VEHICLE CONTINUED TO STALL. THE CHECK ENGINE AND THE WRENCH WARNING LIGHTS ILLUMINATED PRIOR TO THE VEHICLE FAILURE. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED AND ADVISED THE CONTACT THAT THE THROTTLE BODY CLEANING WOULD BE AT THEIR EXPENSE ONE TIME ONLY. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 129,000.

ON SEVERAL OCCASIONS THE VEHICLE WOULD NOT GO OR EXTREMELY LATE RESPONSE THEN LUNGE FORWARD WHEN COMMANDED BY PRESSING THE ACCELERATOR. OFTEN TIMES WHEN YOU ARE TURNING IN FRONT OF OTHER TRAFFIC. I HAVE HAD SEVERAL NEAR MISSES WITH BEING STUCK IN AN INTERSECTION OR A VERY DELAYED THROTTLE RESPONSE LUNGING ME INTO ON COMING TRAFFIC. THE CAR GOES INTO LIMP MODE OR THE TRANSMISSION SEEMS TO ACT UP AFTER THIS HAPPENS. I GET A CHECK ENGINE LIGHT AND A WRENCH LIGHT ON THE DASH. ALSO THE CAR HAS HAD UNCOMMANDED ENGINE SPEEDS AT A STOP SIGN OR REDLIGHT. SEEMED TO HAPPEN MORE OFTEN WHEN TURNING THE WHEEL OR THE A/C IS ON. ALSO VERY DANGEROUS. I HAVE THREE KIDS I HAVE TO DRIVE AROUND AND I FEEL UNSAFE IN IT. I HAVE SEEN THESE EXACT SAME ISSUES WITH THIS CAR ALL OVER THE INTERNET ADDRESSING FAULTY ELECTRONIC THROTTLE BODIES AND THE CVT TRANSMISSION. THERE NEEDS TO BE A RECALL BEFORE SOME THING HAPPENS. *TR
