This factory service and repair manual for the 2007 Ford Five Hundred covers the model's final year, trimmed back to Limited and SEL, with the 3.0L twin-cam V6 still the only engine in the four-door sedan. A last-year book carries a settled specification set, and this one works through the car system by system: engine mechanical and management, transmission, driveline, suspension and steering, brakes, and the body and chassis electrical systems with their wiring diagrams.
Engines covered
- 3.0L V6 (181 cu in) — DOHC, naturally aspirated, gasoline
Body styles covered
- 4-door sedan
Trims covered
- Limited
- SEL
Known issues on the 2007 Five Hundred. Two recalls are on federal record here. One concerns fuel tanks whose welds to the filler neck spud may not have been consistent, weakening the joint in a severe rear impact and risking a fuel leak; the other covers aftermarket fuel filters with quick connectors that could fail to seat properly. Owners have filed 199 complaints with NHTSA, with the power train first, vehicle speed control next and the fuel system third. Fuel storage and delivery, transmission and throttle control procedures speak to that record.
