I don't know if this belongs in engine or fuel/propulsion system. There was no mention of 'gas peddle' in either. The date of 07/17/2013 is approximate. It may have been between 2013 - 2015. I am not sure of the exact dates. It was when I was going to a pain specialist in buffalo after my rear-end accident in my previous car in July 2012. Location - I-190 & NY-198 buffalo, NY 14207 42.930405, -78.899552 merge ramp from the NY-198 to the I-190 North. 2007 Ford Five hundred the problem: The gas peddle stuck when I had to do a fast acceleration / I floored it. I had to put the car in neutral and press the gas peddle a couple times to get it unstuck. I had it in to the Ford dealer where I bought it and they fixed or cleaned something. The Ford dealer said that it would cost about $400 to replace the component if this didn't work. It happened again when I did another fast acceleration. I was able again to get it unstuck. I have not had the occasion to do a fast acceleration since. I don't run it fast if I can help it.

Throttle had it fixed with recall, it lunges you into traffic while stopped. Again it has done that now failed, this is a dangerous car. It is garage kept and well maintained went down to get gas, mail and while stopped it jerked me out of the stopped position into the mailbox then the wrench, traction and engine light came on and it bucked till I got it 10 feet to the garage no, it will not start!!! to even get it to the dealership or garage, its a safety feature I was told, the way it lunges is dangerous, I almost went through he garage wall which is concrete, last time I hit my teeth on the steering wheel and knocked one back out of alignment. Which the Ford person thought was funny last time. Ford knows this is a dangerous car, it should be replaced and these should be crushed like the demon car they are. People spend hard earned money on these vehicles all for this to happen?

My RPM gets high and it jolts when I shift from park to reverse or neutral. It is worse with the air conditioner on. Have only had this car for 4 weeks and has less than 103,000 miles on it.

I have a 2007 Ford Five hundred which constantly accelerates unintentionally. It also has begun to loose acceleration and lunges every time I press the gas peddle which almost caused an accident on the interstate.

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

The air condition in this car stopped working; only hot air was blowing out. After taking it to a mechanic, I was told it was due to a leaking air compressor. I was told multiple Ford Five hundred's have been taken in for the same problem. My husband also drives a 2007 Ford Fusion and is having the exact same issue with his vehicle. I called several mechanic's and dealerships to try and get a price comparison for this issue and all of them told me the same thing - this issue has been happening with so many 2007 Ford vehicles...I think this deserves some research. The compressor should not go out in a car at 72,000 miles.

I had just driven to my brother's house in wv. My wife and I got out of the car and went inside. About 15 minutes later my brother saw smoke in the window and saw that my car was on fire. We all went outside and while they called the fire department I tried to put the fire out with a hose. I could only knock it down some to keep it from spreading but when the fire dept got they put it out.
