I have a 2007 Ford Five Hundred SEL FWD w/ 6 speed trans. 235,000 miles. I keep it well maintained with only Motorcraft Parts (if possible).

Driving Fine All Day, parked, came out of store- starts fine, But can’t make it across parking lot. Stumbles & red PATS light comes on & dies. 6 listed fault codes: U-0300, P-060A, P-1000, P-0642, P-2105, P-2107. Took to FORD dealer I bought it from new after I couldn’t diagnose. I’ve tried NEW Battery, Throttle Body, & Throttle Pedal. They had it a month. They thought since motor mounts bad & motor shifting, Might be a break in harness. They replaced all motor & Trans. mounts. They said “Could not duplicate codes with moving harness (NLA)”. Next, They said ” PCM must be bad (NLA)”. I got a rebuilt PCM from All Computer Resources in FL. Comes with keys programmed to my VIN, Just cut new keys. Plug & Play; Lifetime Guarantee. Took Another month & They installed it. They said ” Alternator was erratic”, So It was replaced. I was told car was fixed. Paid thousands & made it just blocks. Ck. Light on, Stumbles & Dies if rpm’s below 2,000. Keep speed up, It runs for many miles. Drop speed to stop, Stumbles, Bucks, & Pats light comes on & DIES. Absolutely the exact same problem I filled out the work order with. Got the car home. Have been arguing with FORD Dealer for 2 months. They won’t take it back in under a guarantee. Managers won’t talk to me OR return calls. Won’t refund anything. I checked and all of the original codes listed above are now in the New PCM too. I’m don’t know where to turn next. I’m diagnosing on my own, Bought a BOSCH 1350 scanner & know how to use a multi-meter. Got the FORD wiring diagram manual.

PLEASE, If any ideas (other than trash the vehicle), I sure could use help as to what to try next. I’ve thrown thousands to “Professionals”, Only to be back to the beginning on my own. I’m a Yamaha motorcycle mechanic of 52 years, But I’m a bit over my head here. I don’t have a scope OR Programming equipment. Any & All advice would be appreciated.

Hi I have a classic opel gt that I’m rebuilding and I have decided the 1.5 3 cylinder turbo Ecoboost dragon engine is perfect.

200hp, 214 lbft, engine block the 11×8.5, weight 95kg all is great.

It would be nice to find out the height so I can confirm it’s not too high for the hood.

The only other thing I need to know, what bellhousing will fit that would allow me to use a rwd transmission. Does anyone know if a t5 would work or maybe a 6 speed?

I’ve read there is a racing tune available that would delete most things from the ECU and allow it to be tuned for more power.

Unfortunately I haven’t been able to get any information from local dealers. I’ve called dealerships in the USA as well but not even emails direct to Ford has helped with finding this ECU tune and what rwd bellhousing will bolt up to this motor.

The 2.0 uses the same transmission and they can bolt to the t5 or a Miata transmission but there are many 2.0 engines. I’d rather not buy the motor and have to transport it to every place that has a transmission to physically see if they have the same pattern.

Thank you.

Hello all, just received my 2024 Mustang GT Premium. It is well known that the windows will close only to about 3/8″. But when you close the doors, the windows then fully seat. Does anyone know WHY Ford did this to many Mustang years.
What was their logic for it?

Thanks in advance for any answers.

Starting up the fiesta ST the clutch pedal stuck on the floor and stayed there. I’ve had countless stick shift cars and never came across this. Anybody out there can advise me on this?

From what I have observed and verified the F150 offers 3 bed sizes, 5.5 ft, 6.5ft and 8 ft. Now I realize that you can order a 6.5 ft bed with the supercrew cab but the combination that most dealers have on their lots is the SuperCrew with a 5.5ft bed and that’s what I had to settle for when I bought my XLT. To me it’s pretty weeny and I have some thoughts on this and want to know what you guys think. I believe the supercrew with 5.5ft bed has wheelbase of 145.4 and with the 6.5 ft bed it’s 157.2 (about 1 foot difference). My brilliant idea which Ford might think is stupid is leave the wheelbase at 145.4 and extend the bed 12 inches for the same capacity and it would seem to me much less cost to Ford. That would be an industry first that no one else does and set Ford apart.
If anyone knows how to get my idea up to the designers and engineers I’d love to know their thoughts as well. So let me know what you all think please.

I have been dealing with problems for over a year and an endless back and forth between the customer service line and the dealership.

I have been out of the truck for over 30 days, and they have no idea how to fix it. I have had over $2000 in rental cars they won’t pay for.

The customer service group promised to get an engineer to look at it but never did anything. I called the dealer they said their hands are tied by Ford.

They make me repeat the story every time I call no notes I guess.

I may have to give up on Ford which is sad as my Grandad retired from Ford.

Hello, while I do like my 2017 Ford Edge Titanium and all the bells and whistles it has, I have to say I am not liking the $6400.00 give or take for replacement of engine due to coolant leaking into cylinders. Like Sean Connery said in Untouchables, ” what are you prepared to do about it”? I am widowed retired female on fixed income and in May 2024 replaced my engine at 6400.00 dollars. I believe a recall is in order to help repay my repair bill due to Fords error. Please help me. Thank you

Can anyone answer whether the 2024 Ford Ranger 2.7L V-6 uses cylinder deactivation?

What happened to the side scoops on the Mustang California Special??? That’s what made it special, not some lame blue lights that only go with one body color. Ford missed the boat on this one and should bring back the classic California Special fascia.

When V5.0 came out Ford Authority was gushing about what a great upgrade it was. I have to wonder what they have been smoking, or how much they got paid for that fluff piece.

The new App is a neutured version of what was a great tool for Ford Owners.

No longer can we see in near real time where our vehicles are at.
There is no way to refresh location.
There is no longer a fuel gauge in the new app.
There is no way to add service records for DIY maintenance and repairs.
There is no maintenance schedule.
There is no trip planning.
There is no way to check for extended warranty info.
I’m sure I’m missing some others features.
The Google Map doesn’t show properly when phone is set to dark mode, this is the only app I have an issue with.

Ford Authority, do you care to explain why you believe this all adds up to a greatly improved app?

Ford recently changed the Ford Pass app.
Now it does not show the Ford Extended Service Plan number for one of my vehicles
and there doesn’t appear the capability of adding my own service entries.
Both of these items were available in the previous version.
Why have these features been removed? Or how do I get to them in the revised app?
