 Nuff said about that.I did research AFTER I bought the car.Had I realized the transmission failures were so common on the 05 I never would have bought it.I didn't realize this was the first year for the CVT.I believe that is why the 500 was moved to the Taraus nameplate.Ford told me to pound sand.Paid $4200 for new transmission.At least I got a 3 year, 100,000 mile warranty with it.Last Ford for me.
