Consumer Description

THE FORD FIVE HUNDRED'S ENGINE SHUTS OFF AS YOU TURN THE WHEEL, THAT'S HOW IT STARTED OUT. A FEW DAYS LATER, THE CAR'S ENGINE WOULD SHUT OFF JUST DRIVING STRAIGHT DOWN THE ROAD. AFTER THE ENGINE SHUTS OFF THE STEERING WHEEL WILL LOCK UP AND NOT MOVE. I WAS LUCKY ENOUGH TO BE ABLE TO PULL OVER AND TURN THE KEY TO OFF POSITION. AFTER TURNING KEY TO OFF POSITION, I TURNED THE CAR BACK ON AND IT DROVE FINE UNTIL I EITHER TURNED A CORNER OR IT JUST SHUT OFF AS I WENT STRAIGHT. AFTER SPEAKING WITH OUR LOCAL FORD DEALER WE WERE TOLD THAT THEY HAVE HAD QUITE A FEW FORD FIVE HUNDRED OWNERS COME IN WITH THE SAME PROBLEM. THIS CAR IS ONLY FOUR YEARS OLD AND 84,000 (PLUS) MILES ON IT. THIS CAR SHOULDN'T BE ACTING LIKE THAT. IT WILL COST $800+ TO GET IT FIXED, IF WHAT THEY DO WILL FIX IT. WITH ALL THOSE OTHER COMPLAINTS COMING INTO THE DEALERSHIP, I WONDER HOW MANY OTHERS' IN THE US ARE HAVING THE SAME PROBLEM. THE ISSUE NEEDS TO BE FIXED. THANKS
