2006 ford five hundred. consumer writes regarding premature pad and rotor wear *tgw the consumer stated she heard a grinding noise and/or dragging noise coming from the rear wheels. the left and right wheels needed new brakes and rotors. the consumer stated an extended warranty had been issued for the brakes in 2007, because ford knew there was a problem. also, the blower motor behind the glove box had to be replaced and the rear window defroster was defective and had to be replaced as well. the gasket between the crank shaft support housing was replaced. *jb | |||

My 2006 ford 500 electric window regulator goes down when pulling up on the window control unless you wait 5 seconds after lowering the window. this is not acceptable since the window up or down button controls should do what are meant to do - not the opposite. *jb | |||

We have a 2006 ford 500 which had the cvt transmission replaced after 4 weeks. the transmission continues to have a significant delay in engaging in reverse. my wife and daughter did not wait until the transmission engaged and have on occasion lurched backwards almost running over her little brother. with the front of the car on a decline the car will roll forward when in reverse until it engages and the user depresses the throttle. olathe ford and a factory rep. inspected the vehicle and supposedly the vehicle is within specs. i don't think so, the car also whines when turning corners. i think the cvt transmission is out of specs. ford doesn't use it anymore, nor do i want to. i have had many fords, this will be my last if this isn't resolved to my satisfaction. the car also has the instrument cluster which intermittently goes out, windshield leaks water and air. answer soon, i am going to bbb, nhtsa and kansas consumer protection. this car is a lemon, i want a working one. *tr | |||

I have a 2006 ford 500 that has a very bad glare on the windshield. when i inquires about the problem, i was told there was 3 such complaints made at that same dealership. i was also told there was nothing that could be done, it was caused by the way the glass was made. *nm | |||
