2005 Ford Five Hundred Body and structure Problems

“I was driving down the road about 45/55 MPH going around a slight turn when all of a sudden the rear lower control arm and the mount its bolted to snaps lose and I start doing 360s thank god no one was in the other lane they'd be dead probably. Ford needs to fix this pos car cuz that's definitely a manufacturer problem”

“Top motor mount failure on 2005 Ford 500 car has low miles on it and when I looked up online there are multiple complaints about the failure. Was told by Ford dealer it was regular wear and tare but I personally have not seen motor mounts fail within 5 years and a low mileage as this vehicle and evidently many others!”

“I have taken my 2005 Ford 500 to my local Ford dealer so many times I can not count for the same recurring issues. This vehicle always lunges when I put in gear in reverse or forward. The car lunged backward striking a parked car the first week I got it. I paid for all damage cause I didn't want to claim new car on my insurance. While driving on highway engine starts to decelerate while trying to pass car or change lanes..big problem in traffic..have to floor it till it kicks into gear. Dangerous. …”

“After it rained, the temperature dropped below freezing. My door was difficult to open, but would not close or latch. It was frozen open. There is already a recall on this, but Ford dealers in the area says it does not apply to cars in the south. A recall is a recall. First of all, both tn and ok get snow and ice, and a recall is a recall. If I decide to move back to maine with this car, then I'll be able to get it fixed for free? What if decide to go skiing in colorado, but cannot leave because my door latches freeze?”

“Purchased my 500 9/05 it only had 5 miles on it. 6 months later loud explosion in engine which began to leak some sort of fluid got the car towed to dealer purchased was told A/C leaking oil and they had to replace the manifold I wasn't even using the A/C was march!!! …”
