2006 Ford Five Hundred SE review from North America
"Good Value, Comfortable, Reliable"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
I hope to have the dealer examine a minor rattle near the right side front window and a pulsating sound from the rear brakes when braking while driving at high speeds. This may not relate to anything wrong, but I do hope for an explanation and for some assistance in eliminating these two symptoms.
An appointment has been made and I have every trust in this dealer to assist me.
General comments?
This car rides very well - smooth and responsive. Fuel economy and 'pep' is good for a car of this size. Comfort is excellent for both driver and passenger, as is space. I do wish Ford invested a better antenna and hood-opening mechanism for this vehicle. These features of the vehicle do not conform to the standard of its other features, I believe.
