“Ford 2007 500 is lunging forward when foot is on the brake ... This began about a year ago . On and off I thought it was bad gas but now that I have used the recommended fuel for my time of owning the car it does it more . Especially when the air is on .. But even when it not.”
NHTSA complaint #10415170, filed 2011-07, 45,000 miles“The A/C at low speeds was putting out warm air in 90f temperature. This was caused by a leaking seal and the compressor was failing. The fix was $1200 at a local dealer.”

The contact stated that the backup sensors cannot be heard over the radio, and volume cannot be adjusted on the radio so that one can hear the sensors. Also, the contact stated that he has this feature in the Ford truck, and that the radio automatically turns down when the backup sensors come on. The contact stated that he depends on the sensors because he has the feature, but it does no m good to have it if he can't hear it.

NHTSA complaint #10178302, filed 2007-01, 1,900 miles“The AC is not working on my Ford 500. It started this season. I have not had trouble with it prior to this year. I have not seen a recall on this but my sister also has a 500 and hers isn't working as well. Many complaints are being listed. I have not take it to the dealership due to being out of warranty and it is too expensive for the dealership to repair. Please, please consider a recall on this issue. Many 500 owners are having the same problem. It's one thing for it to happen to a small number, but numbers are increasing with this issue.”
