2005 Ford Five Hundred review from North America
"Wouldn't recommend it to other buyers"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
My Ford 500 has been back for service several times. As soon as I think it is fixed something else breaks down. I have had struts replaced twice -my steering wheel whistles (no answer as to why) - transmission problems twice - last week the water pump leaked - nuts and bolts had to be replaced in addition to the water pump - it was recalled for new fuel straps - all this in only 36,000 miles. Not sure what is next, but I am sure it will be something.
General comments?
Great space and seating!
