2006 Ford Five Hundred Visibility (wipers, defrost, mirrors) Problems

“We have a 2006 Ford 500 which had the CVT transmission replaced after 4 weeks. The transmission continues to have a significant delay in engaging in reverse. My wife and daughter did not wait until the transmission engaged and have on occasion lurched backwards almost running over her little brother. With the front of the car on a decline the car will roll forward when in reverse until it engages and the user depresses the throttle. Olathe Ford and a factory rep. Inspected the vehicle and supposedly the vehicle is within specs. I don't think so, the car also whines when turning corners. …”

“Power drivers window intermittently malfunctions, when window is part way down and push button to go up the window goes down instead of up, when it reaches 3/4 of the way down it stops on its own, then you push the up button again and it does nothing, then you push the up bottom again and it finally goes up.”

“I have a 2006 Ford 500 that has a very bad glare on the windshield. When I inquires about the problem, I was told there was 3 such complaints made at that same dealership. I was also told there was nothing that could be done, it was caused by the way the glass was made.”

“My 2006 Ford 500 electric window regulator goes down when pulling up on the window control unless you wait 5 seconds after lowering the window. This is not acceptable since the window up or down button controls should do what are meant to do - not the opposite.”
