When I back in or out of my drive way I have to be careful to keep one foot on the brake when shifting into Reverse the vehicle lunges into gear and causes quick acceleration. I notice the problem is getting worse it is starting to lung forward when shifting into Drive as well.

WHEN YOU'RE PUTTING IN GEAR, IT LUNGES FORWARD, SO YOU HAVE TO HAVE YOUR BRAKES ON, TO BE ON THE SAFE SIDE. IS THERE A SOLUTION OR HAS THIS BEEN A RECALL ISSUE!

We have always bought Fords in our 34 yr marriage. I am so disgusted that I have read so many complaints about the same problem of lunging when putting into gear and
Ford will not do anything about it. It is very dangerous and is obviously a problem to hundreds if not thousands of Ford 500 owners.

We live on a slight incline upwards from the street. ( Backing into the garage is a MUST!!) When departing our property in our 2007 ford 500 we have to be extremely cautious as this car lunges once shifted into drive or reverse. This is a little one's (NIGHMARE FORD MOTOR COMPANY-HELLO!!!!!!!!!!!!!) As the CEO of this company your responsibility is to determine and find the fix for this issue ASAP before a customers life is forever negatively altered due to your malfunctioning product. Do the insurance companies know about the thousands of identical complaints. Its just a matter of time Ford. You need to step up and stand behind your product. Please provide any known solutions to this problem. RECALL HENRY RECALL!!!!!!!

Will be hesitant to ever buy another Ford product....the Ford 500 I own lunges forward when putting it into gear; either reverse or drive. This has almost caused me to have numerous accidents. I've listed other problems I've had with this vehicle in the other categories; long story short; I would never consider buying this vehicle.
