Five Hundred Ford Five Hundred looks like just another conservatively styled family sedan. But peel away the Passat-like sheet metal and you will find a well engineered, highly competent chassis, much of it lifted from the Ford-owned Volvo S80. The Five Hundred sedan will be sharing this new Volvo-derived platform with the Ford Freestyle untapped markets.

Default Five Hundred water pump
I noticed a smell coming from my 2005 Five hundred, but didn't see any fluids or smoke. I took it to Ford Dealer and after a day and a half, they told me the water pump needs to be replaced. Although the car is out of warranty as far as years, it only has 35,000 miles. Is this a normal repair? I was told it would cost $650.00 Any comments would be appreciated.

No this is not "normal". Water pumps usually last a lot longer than 4 years.

Get another opinion. Should not take a day and a 1/2 for diagnosis. Do you have another shop you trust?
