ABOUT 2 WEEKS AGO AS I WAS BACKING OUT OF MY DRIVE AND THE LEFT FRONT COIL SPRING BROKE AND PUNCTURED MY TIRE. NOW JUST THIS MORNING AS I WAS DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD THE RIGHT FRONT COIL SPRING BROKE AND PUNCTURED MY TIRE. I KNOW THERE IS A RECALL FROM FORD O4S17 FRONT COIL SPRINGS. HOWEVER THEY ARE SAYING MY CAR IS NOT COVERED BY THE RECALL SINCE MY CAR WAS NOT ORIGINALLY SOLD IN A SALT BELT STATE. WELL IT IS IN A SALT BELT STATE NOW AND IT IS BROKE. 2 FRONT COIL SPRINGS AND 2 TIRES. EVERYWHERE I CALL THE PRICE RANGE IS AROUND 1200 DOLLARS. I AM VERY UPSET WITH FORD. THEY SOLD A DEFECTIVE VEHICLE AND THEY SHOULD BE RESPONSIBLE FOR THE REPAIRS. I WOULD RATHER PUT THE 1200 DOLLARS TOWARDS A NEW VEHICLE THAN WASTE ANY MORE MONEY ON FORD. *TR

STEERING
88 complaints
I'LL COPY ANOTHERS POST TO REFLECT EXACTLY THE WAY I FEEL AND MY EXPERIENCE WITH THIS STEERING ISSUE... RACK AND PINION SEAL LEAKS FLUID INTO THE RIGHT HAND BOOT AND THEN THE GROUND, CAUSING THE POWER STEERING NOT TO FUNCTION PROPERLY AND FAILURE TO THE POWER STEERING PUMP. I CAN'T BELIEVE FORD DOESN'T CARE ABOUT THE SAFTY AND LOYALTY OF THEIR CUSTOMERS AND TAKE STEPS TO CORRECT THIS CONSISTANT DEFECT QUITE COMMON IN THIS MODEL.
Oct 03, 2015
I BOUGHT THIS 1999 FORD TAURUS IN 2011. I HAD TO HAVE THE POWER STEERING RACK REPLACED DUE TO IT LEAKING. ONCE THIS GOT REPLACED THE CAR BEGAN TO IDLE REALLY REALLY BAD WHEN THE AC OR HEATER WAS TURNED ON, THIS WOULD ALSO SOMETIMES OCCUR JUST SITTING AT A LIGHT WITH NOTHING ON. IT WOULD ALSO HAPPEN IN REVERSE SOMETIMES STALLING THE CAR. I HAVE PUT OVER 2000 INTO THE CAR TO TRY AND FIGURE IT OUT. I CAME ACROSS THE 2005 FORD FREESTYLE THAT IS HAVING THE SAME ISSUE THAT IS BEING INVESTIGATED KNOW. I HAVE REPLACED THE IDLE AIR CONTROL VALVE, MASS AIR FLOW SENSOR, CPU, THROTTLE POSITION SENSOR, POWER STEERING POSITION SENSOR, CAM SHAFT POSITION SENSOR, ALTERNATOR, POWER STEERING RACK, AND THERE ARE A FEW OTHER THAT I WILL NEED TO FIND THE RECEIPTS FOR. THIS IS A VERY UNSAFE ISSUE BECAUSE IT HAS ALMOST CAUSED SEVERAL ACCIDENTS WHEN I WAS DRIVING AND ALSO MY FATHER IN LAW. IT SOMETIMES WILL HAPPEN RIGHT AS YOU ARE COMING TO A STOP SO IT JUMPS AND YOU ALMOST DON'T HAVE TIME TO STOP. I AM VERY FRUSTRATED WITH THE ISSUE AND AM GETTING READY TO SELL THE CAR. I HAVE TAKEN TO SEVERAL FORD DEALERS AND HAD THEM LOOK AT IT AND SEE WHAT WAS HAPPENING BUT COULD NOT FIND ANYTHING WRONG. THEY TOLD ME THEY HAD ISSUES WITH ALL OF THESE PARTS SO I REPLACED. BUT TO MY SURPRISE I AM STILL HAVING THE SAME ISSUE. IT ONLY HAS 94,000 SO VERY LOW MILES FOR THE YEAR. I HAVE A CHILD ON THE WAY AND CANNOT HAVE A VERY VERY UNSAFE VEHICLE. *TR

THE POWER STEERING FLUID WAS AGAIN REPLACED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 42,470.

SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 1999 FORD TAURUS. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE FRONT PASSENGER SIDE BRAKE LINE FRACTURED. THE CONTACT WAS ABLE TO CRUISE TO A STOP SAFELY. THE VEHICLE WAS THEN TOWED TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC AND THE BRAKE LINE WAS REPAIRED. THE MECHANIC STATED THAT THE BRAKE LINE WAS CORRODED. THE FAILURE AND CURRENT MILEAGES WERE 70,000.
May 08, 2012
MY BRAKE PEDAL WENT ALL THE WAY TO THE FLOOR BOARD, AND I COULD NOT STOP SO I CRASHED INTO THE CAR IN FRONT OF ME AND IT IN TURN CRASHED INTO THE CAR IN FRONT OF IT. *TR
Sep 12, 2010
WHILE DRIVING IN A SMALL TOWN I EXPERIENCED A LOSS IN BRAKING. THE BRAKE PEDAL WENT COMPLETELY TO THE FLOOR. I WAS ABLE TO GUIDE THE CAR TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD, AND THEN HAD IT TRANSPORTED TO A GARAGE. THEY FOUND THAT THE MASTER CYLINDER HAD FAILED. AND WAS LEAKING FLUID. THIS CAUSED FAILURE OF THE FRONT BRAKES. ON FURTHER INSPECTION OF THE BRAKING SYSTEM THEY FOUND THAT THEIR WAS A LEAK IN THE BRAKE LINE LEADING TO THE REAR BRAKES. THIS LEAK WAS CAUSED BY EXTERNAL CORROSION OF THE LINE. I THOUGHT THAT THESE LINES WERE STAINLESS STEEL, AND SHOULD NOT HAVE CORRODED DUE TO SALT ON THE ROADWAY. IF THE LINES ARE NOT MADE OF STAINLESS STEEL, THEY SHOULD BE. THE FAILURE OF THE MASTER CYLINDER AND THE LEAK IN THE LINE COULD HAVE RESULTED IN A SERIOUS ACCIDENT, BUT DID NOT BECAUSE I WAS DRIVING AT A SLOW SPEED. I LOST THE COMPLETE STOPPING POWER OF THE CAR. *TR
Dec 08, 2009
TOTAL BRAKE FAILURE: HAVING WORKED ON CARS FOR 40+ YEARS AND OWNED MANY VEHICLES OVER THE YEARS, IT WAS A SURPRISE TO SUFFER TOTAL BRAKE FAILURE WITHOUT EVER HAVING THE BRAKE LIGHT INDICATE A FAILURE. FOR AS LONG AS I CAN REMEMBER, ALL MY VEHICLES HAD A PRIMARY AND SECONDARY BRAKE CIRCUIT WITH A PRESSURE DIFFERENTIAL SWITCH THAT WOULD LATCH AND LIGHT THE BRAKE WARNING LIGHT. ON SEVERAL OCCASIONS A PARTIAL BRAKE FAILURE WAS CAUGHT BY THE WARNING LIGHT. MASTER CYLINDER REPLACEMENT WAS PERFORMED QUICKLY AS DRIVING WITH ONE CIRCUIT IS DANGEROUS. THE 1999 FORD TAURUS HAS NO BRAKE PRESSURE DIFFERENTIAL SWITCH, NO KIDDING! IF ONE DOES NOT MAKE PANIC STOPS AS A REGULAR PART OF DRIVING, IT IS EASIER THAN ONE WOULD THINK TO HAVE A PARTIAL FAILURE GO UNDETECTED (DESPITE THAT THERE MUST HAVE BEEN EXTRA PEDAL TRAVEL). WHEN THE SECOND CIRCUIT FAILS THE RESULT IS TOTAL BRAKE FAILURE WITHOUT WARNING. IN MY OPINION, THIS IS CRIMINAL NEGLIGENCE, THE SAME TYPE OF THINKING AS THE FORD PINTO FUEL TANK. FORGET THE CUP HOLDER, SPEND THE MONEY ON THE SAFETY SWITCH!!! I SHUDDER TO THINK OF PEOPLE SERIOUSLY INJURED DUE TO THIS MISSING SWITCH. *TR
Aug 13, 2009
LOSS OF BRAKING DUE TO REAR BRAKE LINES CORRODING AND RESULTING FLUID LOSS. AN INTERNET SEARCH INDICATES THIS IS A VERY COMMON PROBLEM WITH FORD TAURUSES OF THIS ERA. FAILURE OCCURRED NEAR THE REAR OF THE DRIVER'S DOOR. CAR IS AWAITING REPAIR. *TR

THIS TAURUS HAS NO ENGINE BRAKING AT ALL. SPEED CANNOT BE DECREASED BY RELEASING THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL. EXCESSIVE SPEED CAN ONLY BE AVOIDED BY "RIDING" THE BRAKES. THIS IS NOT UNCOMMON ON THIS YEAR AND MODEL. FORD DEALER SAYS IT IS NORMAL AND "OK". JUST A CONSEQUENCE OF HAVING AN OVERDRIVE TRANSMISSION. GO FIGURE!!
Jan 14, 2011
1999 FORD 3L DUO CAM ENGINE. THEIR IS NO APPARENT ENGINE BRAKING FROM THIS ENGINE AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS. LOCKING OUT OVERDRIVE WILL HELP BUT CAUSES THE ENGINE TO REV EXCESSIVELY. CRUISE CONTROL SPEED WILL EXCEED THE SPEED LIMIT BY A LOT WHILE GOING DOWN HILL, EVEN SLIGHTLY. *TR

I HAD IT TOWED TO A SHOP AND THEY JUST CALLED TO TELL ME IT IS THE TORQUE CONVERTER AND THEY JUST REPLACED ONE A FEW WEEKS AGO. I LOOKED ONLINE AND THIS SEEMS TO BE A COMMON PROBLEM WITH THIS CAR. *TR

I OWN A 99 FORD TAURUS. IT IS LEAKING WATER INTO THE PASSENGER COMPARTMENT. THIS LEAK HAS CAUSED THE HEATER BLOWER MOTOR AND RESISTER TO SHORT OUT AS A RESULT I HAVE NO HEAT AND IT IS WINTER IN MINNESOTA. I CANNOT AFFORD THE OVER $200 REPAIR AND WITH THE LEAK STILL PRESENT IT WILL SHORT OUT AGAIN. THERE IS AT LEAST ONE SIMILAR COMPLAINT THAT I KNOW OF, IT IS 10184014.

DESIGN DEFECT/SAFETY DEFECT. MY SON JUST RECEIVED HIS DRIVER'S PERMIT AND HAS RECENTLY BEEN DRIVING MY 1999 FORD TAURUS. I PLANNED TO GIVE HIM THIS CAR AND THEN PURCHASE ANOTHER CAR WHEN HE TURNS 16. IN ADJUSTING THE TILT STEERING WHEEL, IT CAUSED THE WIRING MECHANISM THAT CONTROLS THE AIR BAGS TO BREAK. APPARENTLY, WHEN THE WIRE BROKE IT TOUCHED METAL AND SHORTED OUT MY SYSTEM. THUS, I DON'T HAVE THE USE OF MY AIR BAGS AND THEY SAID IT WILL COST $800 TO FIX. I BELIEVE THIS IS A SERIOUS DESIGN FLAW IF THERE IS A RISK OF A WIRE BREAKING WHEN YOU USE YOUR TILT STEERING WHEEL THAT RENDERS YOU AIR BAGS USELESS AND THEREBY NOT HAVING THE BENEFIT OF AN AIR BAG IN A CRASH. I DON'T BELIEVE I SHOULD BE RESPONSIBLE TO HAVE TO PAY FOR WHAT IS DEFINITELY A DESIGN DEFECT! *TR

MICHELIN HYDROEDGE HAVE DEVELOPED CRACKS IN BOTTOM OF ALL TREADS WITH ONLY 37,000 MILES ON A 90,000 MILE RATED TIRE. THEY DO NOT HAVE SIDEWALL WEATHER-CHECKING SO IT IS NOT A WEATHER OR CHEMICAL ISSUE. MICHELIN WAS ASKED TO PAY FOR AT LEAST 50% OF REPLACEMENT COST BUT THEY REFUSED.

4/27/2006, I HAD A VIBRATION IN MY STEERING WHEEL NOTED PRIMARILY AT LOW SPEEDS. I HAD MY BRAKES DONE AND GENERAL MAINTENANCE BUT VIBRATION WAS STILL PRESENT. WENT TO TIRE SHOP WHO EVALUATED PASSENGER SIDE REAR TIRE WHICH WAS SEPARATING. I HAD COOPER TOURING TIRES ON THE VEHICLE APPROX 1 1/2 YEARS OLD. I HAD THE TIRE REPLACED AND THE OTHER TIRES INSPECTED AND BALANCED. VIBRATION WAS NO LONGER PRESENT. 5/21/06 DRIVING EAST ON I-10 BEGAN FEELING A STEERING VIBRATION. I WAS NEARING TUCSON AND PLANNED TO EXIT TO THE NEAREST TIRE SHOP, VIBRATION INCREASED. I TOOK INVENTORY OF VEHICLES AROUND ME NOTING A TRUCK PULLING A BOAT AND MADE A DECISION THAT I DID NOT WANT TO BE BY THE BOAT IF ANYTHING HAPPENED. I MADE LANE CHANGE AND SHORTLY AFTER TIRE MADE A BIG BANG AND I SPUN 360 DEGREES ON THE FREEWAY, SPINNING REARWARD INTO THE MEDIAN. I DID AVOID HITTING TREES, OTHER VEHICLES AND BEING STRUCK BY ON-COMING TRAFFIC. I AM A DRIVING INSTRUCTOR AND HAVE HAD SKID CAR TRAINING. THIS WAS THE MOST HORRENDOUS EVENT EVER IN MY DRIVING CAREER. VEHICLE DID SUSTAIN DAMAGE. POLICE ASSISTED IN GETTING ME OUT OF THE VEHICLE ( I USE A WHEELCHAIR AND DRIVE WITH HAND-CONTROLS) AND REMOVED THE TIRE AND PUT THE SPARE ON THE VEHICLE. I WAS ABLE TO DRIVE TO THE NEAREST TIRE REPAIR FACILITY - THE TIRE WAS REPLACED. THE TIRE COMPLETELY SEPARATED AND SHREDDED - I HAVE THE TIRE. THE VEHICLE BODY HAS NOT BEEN REPAIRED YET.

ON FEBRUARY 10TH, 2008, MY FRONT WINDSHIELD SUDDENLY SHATTERED, LEAVING A HOLE IN IT'S CENTER AND "CRACKLING" THE REMAINING PART OF THE WINDOW, MAKING IT IMPOSSIBLE FOR ME TO SEE THROUGH IT. I IMMEDIATELY SLAMMED ON THE BRAKES (THERE WERE NO OTHER CARS ON THE ROAD AT THE TIME) CAUSING THE CAR TO JERK VIOLENTLY TO THE RIGHT 90 DEGREES AND SLAM HEAD FIRST INTO AN ELECTRICAL UTILITY BOX. THE CAR CONTINUED TO SPIN AROUND WHICH DROVE IT OVER AN ISLAND IN THE CENTER OF THE ROAD AND INTO A ROAD SIGN AND WHILE STILL SPINNING, SMASHED INTO A UTILITY POLE NEXT TO THE UTILITY BOX. DURING THIS ENTIRE INCIDENT, I COULD NOT SEE ANYTHING THROUGH THE WINDSHIELD AND WAS NOT AWARE WHAT THE CAR WAS HITTING OR WHAT DIRECTION IT WAS MOVING. WHEN THE CAR HIT THE UTILITY BOX, I WAS TRAVELING ABOUT 35MPH. AFTER REBOUNDING FROM THE UTILITY BOX INTO THE CENTER ISLAND AND SPINNING TO THE RIGHT SIDE OF THE ROAD WHERE I HIT THE UTILITY POLE, THE VEHICLE FINALLY CAME TO REST. DURING THE SPINNING AND HITTING AND BOUNCING (A LIGHT WORD FOR WHAT WAS HAPPENING) THE SHOULDER HARNESS ON MY 1999 FORD TAURUS SE FAILED TO HOLD ME SECURELY AGAINST MY SEAT AND THE AIR BAGS FAILED TO DEPLOY.

RE: 1999 FORD TAURUS: VIN # [XXX] MY WIFE AND I PURCHASED A 1999 FORD TAURUS FROM NORTH POINT FORD IN NORTH LITTLE ROCK, ARKANSAS, ON FEB. 16, 2001. SINCE NOVEMBER 2002, WE HAVE HAD THE CAR AT TWO FORD DEALERSHIPS AND THREE INDEPENDENT REPAIR SHOPS TRYING TO GET THE HEATER FIXED. SO FAR IT HAS COST US $1,324.21. DURING THE MOST RECENT REPAIR, NORTH POINT FORD TOOK APART THE ENTIRE COOLANT SYSTEM, FLUSHED EACH COMPONENT AND FOUND RUST IN THE ENGINE BLOCK, WHICH THEY SAID WAS THE SOURCE OF THE PROBLEM. AT PRESENT, THE HEATER IS WORKING, BUT WE FEEL WE ARE DUE REIMBURSEMENT FOR THE REPAIRS. THE CAR WAS STILL UNDER THE MANUFACTURER'S WARRANTY WHEN WE BOUGHT IT WITH 29,891 MILES. (THE CONTRACT STATES 28,890 AS THE DEALER DENIED OUR REQUEST TO LIST THE CORRECT MILEAGE.) WE PURCHASED AN EXTENDED "BUMPER TO BUMPER" WARRANTY AT A COST OF $1,733 AT NORTH POINT FORD. THE BIG SELLING POINT WAS THE WARRANTY WOULD COVER ALL MAJOR REPAIRS SUCH AS THE AIR CONDITIONER/HEATER SYSTEM. THE WARRANTY IS HANDLED THROUGH WARRANTECH AUTOMOTIVE, P.O. BOX 1179, BEDFORD, TX 76095. THE CONTRACT # IS 14747754; THE CONTRACT PLAN CODE IS CV60100UKD; THE SELLING DEALER CODE IS 718688 AND THE LOCAL AGENT CODE IS 183. HOWEVER, THE WARRANTY COMPANY HAS PAID VERY LITTLE TOWARD THE REPAIRS, CLAIMING THEY ARE "MAINTENANCE." I HAVE LOCATED SERVICE BULLETINS ON THE INTERNET. AMONG THEM IS #01-15-6 "HEATER CORE - REPEATED FAILURE" AND #01-11-6 "COOLING SYSTEM - CORROSION/CONTAMINATION/OVERHEATING." WE WERE ALSO TOLD THAT ON THE 1999 TAURUSES, FORD SENT THE VEHICLES FROM THE FACTORY WITH A HIGHLY CORROSIVE COOLANT. THIS WOULD EXPLAIN THE SERVICE BULLETINS ON THE HEATER CORE FAILURE AND COOLANT SYSTEM CORROSION.

I HAVE A 1999 FORD TAURUS STATION WAGON. IN 2003 THE RLEFT REAR SEAT BELT WOULD SOMETIMES GET STUCK AND NOT RETRACT. I WOULD HAVE TO FEED THE BELT BACK INTO THE MECHANISM IN ORDER FOR THE BELT TO FINALLY WORK. AFTER DOING THIS FOR SOME TIME, I TOOK THE CAR TO MY LOCAL FORD DEALER IN DECEMBER, 2003 AND PAID TO HAVE THE SEAT BELT ASSEMBLY REPLACED. IN 2006, I AGAIN HAD THE SAME PROBLEM WITH THE LEFT AND RIGHT REAR SEAT BELTS AND THE LEFT FRONT SEAT BELT. I AGAIN TOOK THE CAR TO THE FORD DEALER IN DECEMBER 2006 AND HAD ALL THREE OF THE SEAT BELT ASSEMBLIES REPLACED. AT THE TIME I ASKED THE PERSON AT THE DEALER IF THERE WAS A RECALL OR ANYTHING ON THE SEAT BELTS SINCE THIS WAS THE SECOND TIME IN 3 YEARS THAT I HAD THE PROBLEM. THEY PRETTY MUCH IGNORED MY QUESTION. NOW I FOUND OUT THAT THERE WAS A RECALL ON SEAT BELT MECHANISMS AND OWNERS WERE NOTIFIED BEGINNING IN 1999. WE DID NOT PURCHASE THIS VEHICLE UNTIL 2001. *TR

I HAVE A 1999 FORD TAURUS I HAVE THE ANTI-BREAK SYSTEM (ABS). I HAVE HAD THE CAR FOR 5 YEARS AND NEVER MADE ANY NOISE UNTIL THE PAST WEEK. I BROUGHT IT INTO FORD GARAGE AND THEY SAID IT IS COMMON AND DON'T WORRY. WHILE DRIVING I FEEL PULSATION AND VIBRATION WHILE BREAKING. WHEN I DO GO SPEED ABOVE 10MPH IT STOPS. IF I STOP AND TURN THE ENGINE OFF AND START AGAIN IT AGAIN VIBRATES AND PULSATES. IT IT SCARY BECAUSE YOU FEEL THERE IS SOMETHING WRONG. THEY TELL ME IT IS COMMON AND IN THE MANUAL. IF IT DID THIS WHEN I BOUGHT THE CAR OR ANYONE THIS MODEL I DON'T THINK THEY WOULD OF SOLD A CAR. I FEEL FORD SHOULD TAKE CARE OF THIS PROBLEM. THEY ARE AWARE OF IT.

IN ADDITION, THERE WAS A LOT OF SMOKE WHEN THE VEHICLE WAS STARTED. HE TOOK THE VEHICLE TO A MECHANIC AND THEY STATED THAT THE POSSIBLE CAUSE OF THE FAILURE WAS ANTIFREEZE ENTERING THE MOTOR. THE MECHANIC ALSO SUGGESTED THAT THERE WAS A POTENTIAL ISSUE WITH THE HEAD GASKET, WHICH WOULD COST BETWEEN $1,500-$2,500 TO REPAIR. ALSO, THE VEHICLE WOULD NOT DECELERATE IF THE CONTACT REMOVED HER FOOT FROM THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL; THEREFORE, HE WOULD HAVE TO APPLY THE BRAKES INSTEAD.

FOR ERRANDS AROUND TOWN, THE VEHICLE WOULD USE A HALF OF A TANK. THE HEADLIGHTS HAD A DINGY COLOR ON THE INSIDE.

THE FORD CERTIFIED DEALER IN MY AREA WAS UNABLE TO FIND A REASON FOR THE AIRBAGS TO GO OFF. AND WHEN I CALLED FORD THE LADY ON THE PHONE TOLD ME THAT SHE HAD NEVER HEARD OF SUCH A THING. SHE SAID SHE HAD HEARD OF PEOPLE COMPLAINING THAT THE AIRBAG DID NOT DEPLOY WHEN THEY FELT IT SHOULD, BUT NOT THE AIRBAG DEPLOYING FROM A <1MPH IMPACT OF A TIRE INTO A CURB. FORD INSISTED THEY COULD NOT HELP ME. THIS HAS REALLY BEEN HARD ON ME CONSIDERING MY INSURANCE COMPANY WAS HESITANT TO COVER THE INCIDENT BECAUSE ACCORDING TO THEM NO COLLISION OCCURED FOR THE AIRBAGS TO DEPLOY. HOWEVER, MY INSURANCE COMPANY FINALLY ACCEPTED CLAIM. ALTHOUGH IN RETURN MY RATES HAVE WENT UP AND I HAD TO TAKE A LOAN OF $500 TO COVER THE DEDUCTIBLE.

PROBLEMS WITH CAR SINCE DAY ONE. BEGAN WITH WIPERS TURNING ON BY THEMSELVES, SPOKE TO MECHANIC, SAID IT WAS NOTHING TO WORRY ABOUT. THEN THE CAR KEPT REFUSING TO SWITCH GEARS (SECOND TO THIRD), THE SPEEDOMETER WOULD QUIT AND CAR DIED ON SIDE OF ROAD SEVERAL TIMES. ALONG WITH THIS PROBLEM, THE BRAKES SQUEALED VERY LOUD. CALLED DEALER, WOULD NOT HELP, SENT ME TO FORD DEALER (DAVE GOULDS). REPLACED SPEED SENSOR, SCRAPED "RUST" OFF BRAKES AND SAID THEY MAY CONTINUE TO SQUEAL, THEY DO! THE CAR PICKS UP SPEED FROM NO WHERE, SPECIALLY WHEN COMING FROM A STOP. VERY SCAREY, REFUSE TO LET MY DAUGHTER DRIVE BECAUSE OF IT. NOW THE POWER STEERING IS MAKING A HORRIBLE HUM AND I HAVE LOST POWER STEERING ON SEVERAL OCCAISIONS. ADDED FLUID, THE NEXT DAY IT LOOKED LIKE COCOA BUBBLING OUT. I CONTACTED THE GOULD FORD DEALERSHIP AND I HAVE TO BRING IT IN TOMORROW. I AM AFRAID TO DRIVE IT AND HE TELLS ME THAT MY EXTENDED WARRANTY MOST LIKELY WON'T COVER THE REPAIR (THEY DIDN'T COVER THE SPEED SENSOR EITHER). I BOUGHT THIS CAR AT A LOCAL COMPANY AFTER A SEVERE ACCIDENT, IT WAS TRAUMATIZING TO GET BACK BEHIND THE WHEEL, BUT THIS CAR IS LIKE A ROLLING DEATH TRAP, WHY ISN'T FORD RECALLING THEM? MR

SHORTLY AFTER PURCHASING MY TAURUS I NOTICED A SLIGHT VIBRATION WHEN BRAKING. IT WAS VERY MINOR AND I DID NOT WORRY ABOUT IT - THINKING IT WAS A KNOT ON A TIRE. IT GOT STEADILY WORSE AND WHEN I HAD A MECHANIC LOOK AT IT HE TOLD ME I NEEDED NEW TIE ROD ENDS. THE FRONT TIRES HAD BOTH WORN TO THE STEEL BELTS. I REPLACED BOTH THE TIE ROD ENDS AND THE TIRES. NOW I AM STILL FEELING THE SHUDDER WHEN I BRAKE AND LAST WEEK I STARTED NOTICEING THE STEERING WAS GETTING DIFFICULT AND HUMMING AS I TURNED. I TOOK THE CAR TO THE MECHANIC TODAY AND HE SAID THE RACK AND PINION WAS LEAKING AND NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. HE SUGGESTED YOUR WEBSITE AND I HAVE FOUND NUMEROUS OTHER PEOPLE WITH THE SAME PROBLEM. FORD NEEDS TO DO SOMETHING ABOUT THIS, IT SEEMS TO BE GETTING OUT OF HAND. I HOPE YOU CAN PRESSURE THEM INTO STANDING BEHIND THEIR PRODUCT AND DO WHAT IS FAIR.*AK

MY TAURUS LEAKS FUEL AFTER FILLING THE TANK. THE DEALER REPLACED THE ROLLOVER VALVE, VAPOR CANISTER AND EVAPORATOR SOLENOID AND A HOSE CLIP ON MARCH 1, 01. IN OCTOBER 2001 I AGAIN NOTICED FUEL DRIPPING FROM THE TANK AREA AFTER REFUELLING. THE DEALER IS ORDERING A NEW TANK. FORD TECH HOTLINE SAYS THERE MAY BE ANOTHER DEFECTIVE ROLLOVER VALVE INSIDE THE TANK. THIS POSES A SAFETY HAZARD WHICH I BELIEVE SHOULD BE REPORTED.
