NHTSA Complaint #10587689 — 2006 FORD FIVE HUNDRED

MY CAR MAKES HARSH JERKING MOTION WHILE I AM DRIVING. THE MOTION OCCURS INTERMITTENTLY SO I AM UNABLE TO PREDICT WHEN IT WILL OCCUR. HOWEVER, IT DOES HAPPEN WHILE THE CAR IS IN AN MOTION AND UPON ACCELERATION. AFTER FIRST EXPERIENCING THE PROBLEM. THE MOTOR MOUNT OF THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED. THIS SEEMED TO REMEDY THE PROBLEM FOR ABOUT TWO WEEKS, THEN THE PROBLEM PERSISTED. NOT AS HARSH AS PREVIOUSLY BUT NONETHELESS, THE RIDE FEELS UNSAFE AND THE ISSUE HAPPENS ERRATICALLY. THIS PROBLEM HAS CONTINUED FOR OVER A YEAR. DURING THIS TIME I HAVE RESEARCHED ONLINE TO FIND THAT THIS IS A COMMON ISSUE AND COMPLAINT AMONG CONSUMERS. WHY HAS THIS VEHICLE NOT BEEN RECALLED? THIS IS A PRESSING ISSUE FOR ME AS IT IS NOT A SECURE FEELING TO LOSE CONTROL OF YOUR VEHICLE MOMENTARILY. I ALSO HAVE TO CONSIDER THE SAFETY OF MY UNBORN CHILD. THE FORD FIVE HUNDRED VEHICLES WITH MAJOR MECHANICAL MALFUNCTIONS NEED TO BE RECALLED AND TAKEN OFF THE MARKET, NOT SIMPLY "FIXED." AFTER A FIRE OR MAJOR ACCIDENT HAS TAKEN PLACE, IT IS EVIDENT THAT "FIXING" THE CARS IS NOT THE BEST SOLUTION. *TR
