Some Ford Five Hundred owners report experiencing issues when the check engine light is on, particularly shaking while driving uphill. This could indicate serious problems, such as issues with the emissions system, sensors, or catalytic converter. Additionally, vibrations during uphill driving may suggest driveline problems related to components like CV axles, CV joints, or driveshaft U-joints. If the shaking is accompanied by a flashing check engine light, it typically signals a more urgent issue that requires immediate attention. Owners are advised to have their vehicles professionally inspected to accurately diagnose the problem and prevent further damage or safety risks.
