I am having problem with the reset button in my 2005 five hundred ford, the oil light stays on after oil changes, no one does not know how to reset, the reset button does not work, several mechanic told me not to worry about it , but the car can't pass the smog, it reads not ready, they told my to take a ride for about 50 miles and drive up to sixty miles per hour. . On going problem and I am running out of money, can you help, please

I have 2 very serious and dangerous issues. The 1st issue, the car will shut off while driving and without warning. I'll be cruzing down the highway and out of no where it shuts off. I then do not have breaks or power stearing. This last Winter my daughter was driving it and it shut off while she was on black ice. The car flew into the ditch and the snow was so deep it was compacted in the entire engine so it was impossible to restart the car. It was akso -37 below temperature. It took me almost a half hour to get to her and she almost froze to death. She sustained frost bite on her hands, toes, ears, and cheeks. She almost died. Issue 2, my daughter was driving and all of the sudden a loud noise and she couldn't steer. The rear control arm bracket that is part of the subframe busted causing the control arm to no longer be attached to the frame. She almost flipped the car when that happened. I looked into it and many cars this year make and model had the exact same thing happen in the exact same spot. So that tells me that it is a manufacturer defect. I had this looked at and inspected by Trusted Tires & Auto. Neither of these issues had any warning at all. So now the car sits unable to be driven. Even if it was fixed I won't drive it or let my daughter drive it and I can't sell it because I don't want anyone else to drive it period. It is a death trap literally and puts everyone's life in dangernear that come near the car. It needs to be recalled immediately. This is absolutely unacceptable and Ford needs to stand behind their product. If this car continues to stay on the roads Many people will die because of all the defects on the car.

The engine keep going into limp mode. The car stalls out while at lights an stop signs, power steering goes out on highway an other roads making it impossible to steer or steer out of others ways, limp mode causes car to not be able to keep up with traffic on highway and other roads. Engine jerks forward an shifts irractically an shifts an downshifts hard.

The contact owns a 2005 Ford Five Hundred. The contact stated that while driving at various speeds, the vehicle made an abnormal knocking sound. The vehicle was taken to two independent mechanics, where the flywheel was replaced twice with used parts because the part had been discontinued. The contact stated that while her son was driving approximately 20 MPH, the vehicle stalled. The check transmission warning light, the check engine warning light, and other unknown warning lights were illuminated. The driver was able to pull over to the side of the road. The vehicle was able to restart but was undrivable. The vehicle was towed to the residence. The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. The manufacturer was notified of the failure. The failure mileage was 80,000.

While waiting at the light in traffic, my car all of a sudden Accelerated, and decelerates, I have to push hard on the breaks in order for it to not slam into the cars infront of me.. this is really dangerous, from what I have been reading this is a wide spread issue that ford has ignored for years..

2005 FORD FIVE HUNDRED. CONSUMER WRITES IN REGARDS TO HARD SHIFTING AND TWO INSTRUMENT PANEL LIGHTS ILLUMINATING. *TGW THE CONSUMER ALSO STATED THE RPM'S WOULD RACE AT TIMES. THE CONSUMER WENT TO HER LOCAL DEALER AND A DIAGNOSTIC'S TEST REVEALED A PROBLEM WITH THE PCV VALVE. THE PCV WAS REPLACED AT A COST OF $ 112.95. HOWEVER, IT DID NOT RESOLVE THE PROBLEM. THE CONSUMER WENT BACK TO THE DEALER FOR A TRANSMISSION DIAGNOSTIC TEST, BUT THE DEALER WAS UNABLE TO GIVE A DEFINITIVE ANSWER AS TOW HAT THE PROBLEM WAS. FORD CUSTOMER SERVICE WAS THEN CONTACTED AND THEY INFORMED THE DEALER TO REPLACE THE TRANSMISSION AT A COST OF $5000. THERE WAS ALSO ANOTHER INTERMITTENT PROBLEM WHERE THE VEHICLE WOULD REV WHILE STOPPED AT A STOP SIGN, OR RED LIGHT ETC. AFTER GETTING OTHER OPINIONS, THE CONSUMER WAS INFORMED, THE PROBLEM WAS NOT WITH THE TRANSMISSION. AFTER DOING SOME RESEARCH ONLINE, THE CONSUMER DISCOVERED IT WAS A VERY COMMON OCCURRENCE WITH HER PARTICULAR MAKE, WHICH SEEMED TO BE A MANUFACTURING DEFECT.

I HAVE AN ONGOING ISSUE WITH THE TRANSMISSION DE-ENGAGING WHEN THE TEMPERATURE OF THE TRANSMISSION WARMS UP. WHEN I ACCELERATE WHEN PASSING OR USING THE CRUISE CONTROL THE TRANSMISSION WILL DIS-ENGAGE LEAVING ME WITH NO FORWARD POWER, I MUST PUT THE CAR IN NEUTRAL AND HOPE IT ENGAGES ALL THE WHILE ALMOST BEING RUN OVER BY TWO SEMI-TRUCKS. THIS HAPPENED ALMOST A DOZEN TIMES DOWN AND BACK ON MY TRIP FROM BUFFALO TO PEAPACK NJ ON MONDAY 4/16/2012. THIS IS A KNOW PROBLEM THAT FORD IS AWARE ON THE FIVE HUNDRED MODEL, MONTEGO AND SOME FUSION MODELS. MANY START TO FAIL AT LESS THAN 30,000 MILES AND HAPPENED AT 65,000 MILES ON MY VEHICLE. I CONSIDER THIS AN EXTREMELY DANGEROUS SITUATION AND AMAZED NO ONE HAS BEEN KILLED DUE TO THESE DEFECTIVE TRANSMISSIONS. THE FORD FORUM HAS OVER 10 PAGES OF COMPLAINTS REGARDING THIS PROBLEM. FORD TOLD ME THEY WOULD NOT DO ANYTHING UNLESS THERE WAS A RECALL.

I DONT FEEL SAFE DRIVING MY CAR I PUT 2000 DOLLARS OF WORK AND STILL DO NOT FEEL SAVE.

TRIED TO PULL OUT ON TO HWY. THE FAIL SAFE LIGHT CAME ON AND SHUT DOWN ENGINE. COULD NOT STEER OR CONTROL CAR AT ALL, WAS VERY CLOSE TO HAVING A BAD ACCIDENT. *TR

WHEN I BOUGHT THE CAR HAD ENGINE LIGHT ON SO REPLACE THE SPARK PLUGS AND PUT NEW BATTERY PROBLEM STILL THERE. HAD A MECHANIC CHECK OUT AND HE SAID CODES READING FUEL PROBLEM SO CHANGE OUT THE FUEL PUMP AND PUT INJECTOR CLEANER. PROBLEM STILL THERE HE SAID MAYBE THE COMPUTER SO NOW I DON'T KNOW WHAT TO DO. THE PROBLEM IS CHECK ENGINE LIGHT ON AND WHEN YOU STEP ON THE THROTTLE DOES NOT GO PASS 3000 RPM.

While driving the front end suspension slips, bounces up and down very harshly, tires slip, squeak, and slide in an hard to control way, sometimes into oncoming traffic when in slightly damp conditions an on roads with any amount of bumps, to the point that I need to drive extremely slow to avoid danger which in turn puts my and my passengers and my kids in danger by goin to slow in regards to the traffic around us. When hitting relatively small bumps the suspension bounces the car severely up and down and across the road into harms way.

MY 2005 FORD 500 SOME TIMES THE DASH QUITS WORKING RADIO HEAT THAT STUFF IS FINE BUT THE DASH IT'S SELF RPM SPEEDOMETOR GAS GAUGE ALL THE DASH QUITS AND WHEN THAT HAPPENS THE AIRBAG LIGHT COMES ON BECAUSE WHEN THE DASH QUITS SO DOES THE AIRBAGS THAT IS A SAFTEY AND SHOULD BE A RECALL

WHILE DRIVING AIRBAG LIGHT CAME ON SEVERAL TIMES AND THEN MADE 1 BONG. FORD DEALER SAID I HAVE A BAD CONTROL MODULE AND PART IS NOT COVERED. IF THIS IS A SAFETY ITEM SHOULD IT BE COVERED? SHOULD THIS MODULE BE RECALLED?

WHILE DRIVING DASH LIGHTS, SPEEDOMETER, TACHOMETER, GAS LEVEL, AND TEMPERATURE GO OUT FOR SEVERAL MINUTES AT A TIME. REVERSE LIGHTS COME ON AND AIRBAG LIGHT COMES ON. THIS IS DANGEROUS; UNABLE TO TELL SPEED! PER INTERNET RESEARCH THIS IS HAPPENING IN SEVERAL FORD MODELS AND STEMS FROM A BAD SOLDER JOINT.

INSTRUMENT CLUSTER INTERMITTENTLY WENT DARK AND/OR GAUGES WENT TO ZERO/OFF POSITIONS, WE PULLED OVER TO SEE IF EXTERIOR LIGHTS WORKED AND ALL DID, AS WELL AS BLINKERS AND FLASHERS, BUT WE NOTED THAT REVERSE LIGHTS WERE NOW ON. IT HAS RECURRED A FEW TIMES, ITS MOST NOTICEABLE AFTER DARK AS DASH LIGHTS GO BLACK. ONLY LIGHT ON DASH WAS THE AIRBAG LIGHT. I WENT ONLINE & FOUND INFO ON A TECHNICAL SERVICE BULLETIN "TSB 06-17-9 09/04/06 - INTERMITTENT INSTRUMENT CLUSTER", IT DOES NOT APPEAR TO BE A RECALL ITEM SO ASSUMING ANY REPAIRS ARE ENTIRELY OWNER COST ? *TR

WHILE DRIVING ON THE FREEWAY GOING THE SPEED LIMIT I CHANGED LANES AND THE REAR OF THE CAR FISHED TAILED. IT HAPPENED SO FAST IT SCARED ME TO DEATH. I WAS VERY LUCKY TO GET THE CAR UNDER CONTROL. IT WAS NOT RAINING AND SOME WHAT HEAVY TRAFFIC AT THE TIME. THE CAR DOES NOT MANEUVER WELL. I HAVE TO BE CAREFUL WHILE CHANGING LANES AND DO IT SLOWLY OR THE CAR JERKS QUICKLY AND NOT SMOOTH AS MY OTHER CARS I'VE OWNED.
