2005 Ford Five Hundred SEL from North America - Comments

"Overall it is a great car."

What things have gone wrong with the car?

I've owned my '05 Five Hundred SEL for almost two years now. I think the car drives great.

Lately though, the transmission seems to hesitate starting from quick stops.

Also the instrument cluster intermittently goes off line. All the gages drop and the digital display turns off. I have about 5,000 miles left on the warranty and hope the dealer can fix this. I'd like to know if anybody else has had similar problems.

General comments?

I have had the same problems and would love to know what they did to fix yours. My transmission is really starting to slip and the gauges go out all the time, very frustrating. I would appreciate you letting me know what problems they found.
