2005 Ford Five Hundred review from North America
"Comfortable, yet typical American made car problems"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Rear brake pads have gone already.
Also, the instrument panel goes out occasionally, usually when I hit a bump.
Now the transmission is slipping out of gear and having trouble down shifting.
General comments?
I love the comfort of the car, the large back seat for my three kids, and the enormous trunk.
