problem #3

Mar 012014

Five Hundred ES V6

  • Automatic transmission
  • 180,000 miles

When it rains or I was my car water gets trapped in all 4 doors I can shake the doors and hear them filled with water and then it leaks out down below the doors underneath the rubbers but back doors leak also all over on the inside so floors stay soaked.

problem #2

Five Hundred Limited

  • Automatic transmission
  • 52,000 miles

Water fills inside rear doors which I'm sure will result in doors rusting out!! Ford needs to step up & recall this vehicle for all the problems that almost all owners are having with this car, being throttle body, insufficient door seals, front end suspension, seat heaters!!

problem #1

Jan 202005

Five Hundred Limited V6

  • CVT transmission
  • 200 miles

I'M NOT SURE WHY NO ONE ELSE NEVER COMPLAINED ABOUT THIS. I KNOW MY CAR COULD NOT HAVE BEEN THE ONLY ONE TO EXPERIENCE THIS. I USED TO GET ABOUT A GALLON OF RAIN WATER IN EACH DOOR. I COULD HEAR IT SLOSHING AROUND EVERYTIME I STOPPED.
