• Idle instability investigation # PE11018

  On november 29, 2012, ford motor company (ford) initiated customer satisfaction program 12n03 to extend warranty coverage terms for repair of engine idle rpm surge caused by throttle body deposits in all model year (my) 2005 through 2007 ford freestyle, five hundred and mercury montego vehicles.The program extends the coverage for up to 10 years of service or 150,000 miles from the warranty start date of the vehicle (all vehicles are eligible for the program through may 31, 2013, regardless of mileage).Dealers will repair vehicles exhibiting the condition by removing and cleaning the throttle body and reprogramming the pcm with software containing an updated idle speed control strategy.According to ford, some of the affected vehicles may experience momentary, intermittent engine idle rpm surge (idle flare) when stopped or during low speed driving maneuvers such as in a parking lot or driveway.Unstable idle speed control (dips and flares) around the target engine speed (700 rpm) can occur in vehicles with deposit build-up in the throttle body when the system adjusts engine speed in response to changes in engine load, typically from power steering application or air-conditioner compressor cycling.Idle speed control logic is only active at vehicle speeds below 3.5 mph and when the accelerator pedal is not applied.Ford testing of a vehicle with a "worst case" throttle body measured a maximum idle flare of 1360 rpm lasting approximately 1 second, which ford indicated was consistent with system design to limit vehicle speed and acceleration in idle control mode.Ford indicated that the test vehicle was held in place with normal brake effort and that vehicle speed remained under 4 mph without the brake pedal applied.In addition to throttle body deposit accumulation, symptoms associated with the condition may include check engine lamp illumination and diagnostic trouble codes (dtcs) P0505, P0506 or P061B.Ford attributed the surge condition to changes in idle air flow resulting from the progressive buildup of deposits in the throttle body from normal positive crankcase ventilation (pcv) system operation.This condition was not adequately compensated for in the original powertrain control module (pcm) calibration.Ford issued a technical service bulletin on august 15, 2011 (tsb 11-8-5), releasing an updated powertrain control calibration for vehicles with cvt transmissions.On october 19, 2011, ford issued a second bulletin (tsb 11-10-21) superseding tsb 11-8-5 and including updated powertrain control calibration for vehicles with 6-speed transmissions.Prior to ford issuing the tsb’s, owner’s experiencing the alleged defect either received no repairs, if dealers could not duplicate the condition, or had the throttle body cleaned or replaced, which only provided temporary correction until the throttle deposit build-up returned.Ford’s revised powertrain calibrations appear to be effective remedies for the idle instability caused by build-up of throttle body deposits.However, even after the tsb’s were released, many owners experiencing the condition continued to have difficulty with proper diagnosis and repair as dealers were often either unable to duplicate the condition or were unfamiliar with the new repair procedures.Fords new program addresses those concerns.Nhtsas testing and complaint analysis indicate that the idle speed control issue in the subject vehicles can only occur at very low speeds, are very brief events, are easily controlled by moderate brake pedal forces and result in minor increases in vehicle speed even with no braking.This investigation is closed.The closing of this investigation does not constitute a finding that a safety-related defect does not exist.For additional information regarding this investigation, see complete closing resume in the document file for pe11-018.

Vehicle stops and starts with a jerk. Jumping causing slow down even while on the interstate. Ford is aware of this problem and has done to fix it. Seems like every ford has this problem at some point

I was on my way home coming down farrow rd. And my car stalled out, so i slowly pulled in the median turn car off and back on. When i got ready to pull out of the median the car wouldn't go no faster than 5 miles and hour. So i had my friend help me pull it out of the road and take me home and tow my car to the house. When i got it home there wasn't any acceleration, rpms wont move at all, car has power and cranks but when i put it in drive it won't go anywhere. It stalls and cuts off, even in neutral no acceleration. Everything lights up and cuts on but no acceleration. From my photos below you will see i have replaced alternator, throttlebody, the red and black wiring on the back of the intake i've checked all my hoses there was no splits no cuts no vacuum leak and every time i get a reading on it it gives me a different code please read and reply if this is a recall i need my car fixed immediately

Battery just goes dead over night. Signal lights melted and quit working. Cluster panel just shuts off while running and can't use air, radio, windows, locks, seats, etc. Car shuts off while driving down the road. Have replaced all parts suggested by codes. Still no fix. Wont shift from first gear after cluster panel shuts off. There are hundreds other complaints. This is dangerous and should be an electrical recall. Happens running driving and sitting still.

Got into an accident and right mirror was fully broken. Right side of the body was also smashed in. Left brake lights stopped working and engine makes weird sounds.

The car is surging and feels like it is about to fall apart the car has low miles and the engine feels like the transmission is slipping but was told that this is a common problem with the ford 500 i see there is a extended warranty but i just recently purchased this car and seems like the warranty expired and i see ford is aware of this and refuses to fix this issue which is a hazardous condition and i feel like that im going to have to get a lawyer to get anything done because ford is refusing to fix this issue with these cars and its very dangerous driving the car makes a loud knock and the engine drops back in and its breaking the motor mounts
