2007 Ford Five Hundred Body and structure Problems

“For several months car has been lunging forward without my foot on the gas. A couple weeks ago while pulling into my driving way it lunged and the car ran into my concrete steps causing 3,500 worth of damage. This is very dangerous and could have been one of my daughters. I really hope you take this seriously because once lives are lost you can't get them back. I just want Ford to fess up and to take responsibility for this problem, so I may get it fixed and not kill or injure anyone.”

“Six months after we purchased our new Ford 500 from a local dealer we had mice in the car. They ate a hole in the rear seat and got into our winter survival gear including a down sleeping bag. The dealer was very cooperative and tracked how the mice got in. It was through the air release vents in the trunk. The mice simply came in through the vents that were designed to release air when the doors were closed. It was a design flaw. All Ford would have had to do was to include metal screen over the vents. …”
