Car is leaking fuel from the gas tank area, looks like its leaking from the filler neck. at times it leaks a considerable amount. i'm also having surging issues. mainly at low speeds. the vehicle has also shut down in the middle of traffic. these problems truly concern me and i question the safety of the vehicle and my children and myself while in this vehicle.
(etb) electronic throttle body on my car causes an acceleration that makes the car jerk forward. i've almost hit a wall, and god forbid this happens on the highway i could cause an accident. its unsafe and should be recalled. poor design i guess but it's not worth my life. this happened while idling in drive thru when i tried to go forward it idled really high then dropped down. would bot accelerate afterwards.

Tl* the contact owns a 2006 ford 500. while driving various speeds, the vehicle suddenly stopped accelerating. after restarting the engine, the vehicle operated normally. during the failure, the check engine indicator illuminated. the vehicle was examined by an independent mechanic who diagnosed that the throttle body was faulty. the vehicle was not repaired. the local dealer and manufacturer were not notified. the failure mileage was 94,000.
The wrench light came on and i lost all power, now it doesn't accelerate and the more also is a loud noise coming from the engine, it sounds like it's goung to blow up
Periodically but occuring more often. once the car is placed in drive or reverse but foot still on the brake, once the brake is released the car quickly and aggressively accelerates on it's own without pressing the gas pedal and with very little reaction time you have to slam the brake pedal to make the car stop and then the car cuts off. this has happened at least 4 times within the last month. very dangerous! i have researched recall information for this model as well as my direct vin number associated with my vehicle but i have yet to find a recall. however i have read many reviews of the same issues with other ford 500 owners.
I have researched online and a lot of people with my same car are having the same problem. while driving my whole dash board goes out . i can no longer see how fast i'm going. everything goes to 0 the gas goes to e and my reverse lights stay on until the dash board comes back up. if and when it comes back on my check engine light will be on. this has been happening every since i purchased the car 3years ago on and off.
Vehicle surges when you let off the brake. this started shortly after we purchased the car a couple years ago. they either serviced or replaced the throttle body and that worked for about 6 months or so. now the car shakes really bad anytime we have to stop and have to keep foot on the brake really hard, sometimes the car dies during this too as well as going from reverse to drive. as soon as you let off the brake the car accelerates, can make it up to almost 40 mph without even touching the gas. it runs horribly in the heat too. any temp over 70 it jerks into 2 or 3rd gear hard when stopping and going.
