Consumer Description

2005 FORD FIVE HUNDRED WITH 51000 MILES HAD CHECK ENGINE LIGHT COME ON. CAR ACCELERATES UNEXPECTEDLY WHEN SHIFTING INTO REVERSE OR FROM REVERSE TO DRIVE THEN LUNGES FORWARD OR BACKWARD LIKE IT WILL TAKE OFF ON ITS OWN. THE ENGINE SURGE CAN BE FELT EVEN STANDING STILL AT TIMES. TOLD IT IS THE THROTTLE BODY AND HAVE BEEN WAITING FOR PART AS IT IS ON BACKORDER. THIS IS AN 800.00 REPAIR AND I HAVE BEEN WAITING ALMOST A MONTH. SOMEONE COULD BE INJURED WHEN THESE VEHICLES LUNGE FORWARD OR BACKWARD UNEXPECTEDLY. I SEE MANY MANY SIMILAR COMPLAINTS WITH THIS MODEL CAR AND THIS PARTICULAR PART. I BELIEVE IT SHOULD BE RECALLED BEFORE SOMEONE IS INJURED OR WORSE. *TR
