2006 FORD FIVE HUNDRED Equipment Problems

A/C COMPRESSOR FAILED , ONLY WORKED WHEN AT HIGHWAY SPEED. PER REPUTABLE A/C MECHANIC THIS IS A PROBLEM WITH FORD 500'S.CALLED FORD MOTOR COMPANY IN DETROIT 7/13/11, FORD WILL NOT COVER REPAIR, BUT I WAS TOLD THERE HAVE BEEN SEVERAL INCIDENTS FOR A/C FAILURE.

2006 FORD FIVE HUNDRED, AT THE 86,000 MARK INSTRUMENT PANEL STARTED ACTING UP. ALL OR SOME OF THE WARNING LIGHTS (WRENCH, SEAT BELT, ENGINE, ETC.) WOULD ALL COME ON AND TURN OFF, AT DIFFERENT TIMES AND WEATHER CONDITIONS. WHEN THEY CAME ON THE RADIO SOUND WOULD LOWER TOO.

THIS SEEMS TO BE A FORD MANUFACTURE PROBLEM. I CONTACTED FORD AND WAS TOLD IN SO MANY WORDS THAT WAS MY PROBLEM SINCE THEY WERE NOT TOLD TO FIX IT BY NHTSA. *TR

STARTING SINCE FEBRUARY 2010. MY CAR LUNGES FORWARD WHENEVER AT A DEAD STOP. WHEN SHIFTING TO DRIVE AND REVERSE.

CAR HAD NO PROBLEM CRANKING RIGHT UP. DID THE SAME THING AGAIN, ONLY THIS TIME I HAD IT IN DRIVE. HIT THE BREAKS, CAR DIES AGAIN. THIS HAS HAPPENED A FEW TIMES WHILE SITTING IN LINE AT A FAST FOOD DRIVE-THRU AND HAVE ALMOST HIT CARS INFRONT OF ME WHEN I GO TO MOVE UP IN THE LINE. IF YOU TURN THE CAR ALL THE WAY OFF, IT WILL RESET AND NOT HAVE ANY PROBLEMS UNTIL THE NEXT TIME IT DECIDES TO DO IT AGAIN. I SEEM TO BE ABLE TO ELICIT THE PROBLEM BY DRIVING THE CAR FOR 30 OR SO MINUTES,...
