Consumer Description

MY 2005 FORD FIVE HUNDRED HAS BEEN A VERY DEPENDABLE VEHICLE, EXCEPT WHEN THE COMPRESSOR WENT OUT. AFTER DOING MUCH RESEARCH, IT SEEMS THAT I AM NOT THE ONLY ONE WITH THIS ISSUE. FORD SHOULD DO THE RIGHT THING AND REPAIR THE COMPRESSORS ON THE FORD FIVE HUNDREDS BECAUSE IT IS A VERY HIGH SAFETY CONCERN. I HAVE HAD TO DRIVE AROUND WITH NO AIR BECAUSE I CANNOT AFFORD THE REPAIR ON TOP OF THE MONTHLY PAYMENTS FOR THE CAR. IF I HAD KNOWN THAT THERE WAS AN ISSUE WITH THE COMPRESSOR GOING OUT, AND A $1200 BILL TO ENSUE, I WOULD HAVE RECONSIDERED BUYING THIS VEHICLE. ALL THE FORD FIVE HUNDRED DRIVERS, INCLUDING ME, NEED HELP ON THIS ACROSS THE BOARD REPAIR. IT IS OBVIOUSLY A MANUFACTURING ERROR AND SHOULD BE MADE RIGHT BY FORD. *TR
