 I purchased my Ford 500 1 year ago.  I have had several problems...all which have been covered by warranties.  My biggest complaint is with the brakes.  I have had the pads replaced as often as I have had the oil changed, no joke.  Also the rotars have been deglazed twice and turned once.  Also there is a lot of road and engine noise while driving.  I also had to replace the tires at 15k miles.  Nothing lasts long on this car!!!
