2006 Ford 500 Engine Problems

“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.”

“Hi. The recall Ford had on the throttle body issues back in 2013 when I got mine fixed. Now 40 thousands miles later the car almost lunge into traffic at a red light 2 times. Well the car is having the same problem as before I got the throttle body fixed. I called Ford in cabot and they wanted over 200.00 hundred dollars to run a diagnostic and to clean the throttle. I thought this was a fixed issue and it is not. Ford in cabot told me it will have to be clean or the unit has to be replaced and that is around 500 dollars. What a scam they are pulling. This needs to be dealt with asap. …”

“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. …”

“Car died in middle of intersection. Then repeatedly, until able to get to side of road. Was told by Ford hydraulic code meant transmission failed. Was told warranty just past date and VIN number not on any recall list. Service was always done by the schimmer Ford dealer in peru il. In 2012 a throttle body arm recall due to surging did not include my VIN number even though my car had same problem. And I reported that to dealer we could have been killed in that intersection. Ford will do nothing to repair my car but told me to hang onto my paperwork in case . Of a future recall. …”

“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. …”
