| I have a 2005 Ford 500. The brake lights appear as if someone is "riding" them. Has anyone else had, or heard of this issue? | |

I am having an issue with my cruise control that I wonder if anyone has any answers at first it worked fine, then I replaced the front rotors with aftermarket rotors and my cruise would work for a while then it work turn off electrically and maybe restart or not. Now I have no power to it at all and it refuses to get any power at all. Any suggestions as to a fix. Thank you

Replying to: joan63 (Jul 02, 2009 3:54 pm) I just got on a website called Ford Forums.com and read a post by someone that had the same issue and I now have just found that I have the same issue to, brake lights on going down the road, his solution was that the gap between his brake light swith and his brake pedal was a little to large, he adjusted his brake light switch gap in a little bit and this solved the problem. He has not had a problem since. I know it does not make sense and I am an old auto mechanic and it does not make sense to me either, but have the dealer try this you have nothing to loose and it is a very inexpensive repair. I am trying it on my own 500 to see how it works.

I bought my 05' Five Hundred used with 30,000 miles on it...i've had the car for about 9months and it's having problems galore. When i turn my wheel it makes a real loud annoying whine sound. It's been to 2 mechanics and they said they can't find anything wrong with it. My top dash board has bubbles. The car kicks at about 40 mph, and now when i break the freakin car rumbles. All this just happened at once. The car is going to the Ford shop this week, but i just think all of this is out of pocket. You should really hear the damn steering wheel!

They said they replaced it all but they didnt have time to fix the instructment panel after a week when they knew I had to leave out again. They said it was fixed as I headed out. Got away from home and then the check engine light (which they told me was due to the instruct panel wouldnt go off) went off and then check transmission light and the wrench light came on. Parked it called roadside assistance, they came and got the car this time but only would pay half the tolling bill so I had to cover the other half. The nearest dealership that said they could fix it was 30 miles away so I had to wait another week to get the car back and they would never get me a rental car so I had to hire a taxi to take me where I needed to go. That dealership told me the problem was the preivious dealership didnt put a gasket on it. After the second one charged the first one with the repair charges, they call me and tell me it is rdy. I hire someone to take me to get it but two or three miles from the dealership they call me and tell me that the check engine light came back on and they had to take it back in. The next day they call me and tells me that my ERG value needs replaced but my extended warranty wont cover the repair (which it is with the emissions system so this I dont understand) and it would cost me another 300.00 dollars to get this fixed. I told them I would come get the car if I could drive it until I got paid to get it fixed. I was told the check transmission light didnt come back on at all. Yesterday, after two days the light comes back on and it starts losing speed. I am at my witts' end as to what to do to get it fixed. One good thing the cruiise control hasnt, as of yesterday, went back out after the cat convert was replaced. Could someone give me any suggestions as to what to do to get it fixed and running at least halfway right so I can get back home? |

Replying to: mrp85 (Jul 14, 2009 9:21 pm) I also had problem with braking...terrible dragging sound. I took to dealer with just a smidgen of over 36000 miles and he said he was going to have to turn the rotors. I INSISTED that I had never had rottrotors turned on any vehicle with less than 60,000 miles on them and I've had more than a few autos and I should not have to put up with turned rotors on a car with 36000 - they can only be turned once these days and he install new rotors. |
