2005 Ford Five Hundred consumer reviews

When I saw the Ford Five-Hundred I was immediately impressive; looks, styling, sense of comfort and the price was not bad. I brought the car in December of 2006 with 34,500 miles on it so it was still under warranty. After about a week of driving the ?CHECK ENGINE LIGHT" came on, so I dropped it off at the dealership where it was purchased for fixing. They working on it and supposedly fixed the problem, I picked the car up and no more than a day later the "CHECK ENGINE LIGHT? came on again. Once again they supposely fixed it, I picked the vehicle up ad couple days later the light was on yet again. Now, each time I took it in for service they claimed, we fixed and replaced this and that part, so now it should be good the go. Each fix was temporary and the last time I took it in for servicing they kept it for three week and when I received it back no more than 10 days later the ?Check Engine Light " is back on. So, I'll be taking it down to the dealership yet again with a derogatory letters to the dealership, servicing department and the FORD COMPANY. If you were thinking of buying a ?Five-Hundred" please think again. As a consumer, we need vehicles we can count on for us and our family and this is not one of them. I CAN NOT BELIEVE WHY THE AMERICAN COMPANIES WONDER WHY SO MANY OF US BUY FOREIGN CARS!!!!!!!

Much happier after 1 year than with former Toyota Avalon. Not one problem in 15,000 miles. (Three oil changes and one new set of wipers) Love the look, plus it's roomier, quieter, more comfortable, has a better stereo and gets better gas mileage (22.0 to 26.5 mpg on a long freeway trip). Actually cost LESS than the Toyota. We love this car! Why is it not the #1 seller? So, it doesn't have a fancy foreign brand name. Don't be fooled. This is a terrific car, an unbelievable value, and made in the U.S.A. in Chicago! I want to tell other people about it.

This is a beautiful car. Solidly built. The trunk can only be described as huge. The instrumentation and and appointments in the interior rival a Lincoln. We love it.

I'm very well pleased with this cars ability. It glides through the snow and gets you to your destination in style. On turns theres alittle tilt. Nothing a little slowing up won't cure...beautiful styling, lots of comfort and room. Overall an Impressive sedan. With the milege I average 23-28. I'm happy!! Especially since it's AWD.
