WHEN I AM DRIVING ON THE STREET 35MPH ALL OF A SUDDEN MY CAR STARTS TO EXCEL (PICKS UP SPEED) AND IN ORDER FOR ME TO STOP IT FROM PICKING UP SPEED I HAVE TO PULL OVER AND PUT IT ON PARK THEN PRESS THE GAS PEDAL ONE QUICK TIME AND THEN I CAN START TO DRIVE AGAIN. I CAN'T DO NOTHING ELSE BUT PULLOVER

Jan 16, 2020

MY 2007 FORD TAURUS WAS UP TO 3000 RPM'S AND MY CAR WASN'T LETTING ME DRIVE FASTER THAN 19 MPH. WHEN PRESSING THE GAS PEDAL ALL THE FAR WOULD DO IT REV HIGHER AND JOLT FORWARD REALLY FAST. I TURNED MY CAR OFF AND BEGAN DRIVING NORMAL AGAIN EXCEPT THE FACT MY TRANSMISSION WAS STILL WORKING WAY TOO HARD FOR THE SPEED I WAS GOING (3000 RPM'S AT 45 MPH). THIS HAS HAPPENED TO ME 4 TIMES IN THE PAST 2 DAYS NOW. I'M GUESSING IT'S MY TRANSMISSION AND MY CAR DOESN'T EVEN HAVE 146,XXX MILES ON IT AND NEVER HAVE I BEAT ON IT! THIS PROBLEM FOLLOWS MY DEAD BATTERY CELL AND STARTER RELAY PROBLEM. I HAVE READ SOMEWHERE ELSE THAT THESE TRANSMISSIONS GO OUT VERY SOON. I REALLY THINK THEY SHOULD BE RECALLED. I DON'T HAVE MONEY TO BUY A NEW TRANSMISSION OR VEHICLE! NO REASON THIS TRANSMISSION SHOULD BE BAD AFTER 145,XXX MILES!!

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 FORD TAURUS. WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 35 MPH, THE VEHICLE INADVERTENTLY ACCELERATED AT RAPID SPEED. WHILE THE BRAKE PEDAL WAS DEPRESSED, THE VEHICLE CONTINUED TO ACCELERATE RAPIDLY. THE CONTACT HAD TO PLACE THE GEAR SHIFTER IN NEUTRAL TO STOP THE VEHICLE FROM ACCELERATING. THERE WERE NO WARNING INDICATORS ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC, BUT IT COULD NOT BE DIAGNOSED. THE VEHICLE WAS THEN TAKEN TO ENCINITAS FORD AT (888) 700-8208 LOCATED AT 1424 ENCINITAS BLVD, ENCINITAS, CA 92024, BUT NO DIAGNOSTIC FAILURE CODES WERE FOUND AND THE FAILURE COULD NOT BE DUPLICATED. THE VEHICLE WAS THEN TAKEN TO ANOTHER INDEPENDENT MECHANIC WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE CRUISE CONTROL WAS DISCONNECTED AND THE CABLE CLIP NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE AND THE CONTACT WAS ADVISED TO TAKE THE VEHICLE TO A DEALER. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 140,000.

TAKATA RECALL , MOONROOF STOPPED CLOSING ONE DAY. IT HAS TO MANUALLY BE SHUT IF OPENED SO WE DON'T USE IT. IT MAKES LOUD CLICKING NOISE. THE FUSE FOR GEM 5A STARTED HAVING ISSUE. FUSE IS NEVER BLOWN. BUT TO OPEN OR CLOSE WINDOWS, THE FUSE WOULD NEED TO BE PULLED OUT AND PUT BACK IN WITH DOOR OPEN. THE WINDSHIELD WASHER FLUID SPRAYER WORKS RANDOMLY. MECHANIC CHECKED MOTOR, TUBES, ETC AND CAN'T FIND ANYTHING THAT NEEDS TO BE FIXED OR THAT WOULD MAKE IT WORK WHEN IT WANTS TOO. THIS HAS ALL BEEN AN ONGOING ISSUE AND SOMETIMES BOOT AN ISSUE FOR ABOUT 2 YEARS NOW. FIRST OCCURRENCE, TWO YEARS AGO IN 2016 AND LAST OCCURRENCE WAS 2 WEEKS AGO IN 2018

Mar 18, 2018

THIS CAR DIED TWICE AS MY WIFE WAS DRIVING HOME YESTERDAY. NO WARNING. IT WAS RUNNING WELL SINCE BUYING IT A MONTH AGO, AND IS WELL MAINTAINED WITH 105K MILES ON IT. IT FIRST DIED 500 YARDS FROM HOME, AND DIED AGAIN AS SHE PARKED IN THE DRIVEWAY. THIS SHUTS DOWN POWER STEERING AND BECOMES VERY DIFFICULT TO STEER. IT RESTARTED WHEN SHIFTED TO NEUTRAL OR PARK. WE HAVE RESEARCHED AND FOUND OTHER PEOPLE WITH THE SAME PROBLEM. SOME DYING AT 70 MPH ON HIGHWAYS WITH NO WARNING. SPORADIC DYING UP TO 5 TIMES DAILY OR MONTHS BETWEEN INCIDENTS. CARS HAVE BEEN TAKEN TO MECHANICS AND DEALERS, NONE OF WHOM HAVE CORRECTLY DIAGNOSED/FIXED THE PROBLEM. THIS IS EXTREMELY DANGEROUS AND SHOULD BE INVESTIGATED WITH ALL DUE HASTE! THANK YOU.

I WAS DRIVING AND STARTED TO BREAK COMING UP TO A RED LIGHT. THE CAR DID SLOW DOWN BUT I COULD FEEL FROM MY FOOT ON THE BREAK PEDAL, A VIBRATION AND THE CAR ENGINE STARTED MAKING A RUMBLING SOUND, LIKE IT WAS "REVVING" IN HIGH GEAR. I TOOK MY FOOT SLIGHTLY OFF THE BREAK AND THE CAR ACCELERATED FORWARD ON ITS OWN. I PULLED INTO A PARKING LOT AND WAS ABLE TO PARK AND TAKE OUT THE KEYS. IT WAS TOWED TO A FORD DEALERSHIP. THEY SAID THE SPEED CONTROL CABLE IS BROKEN.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 FORD TAURUS. THE CONTACT STATED THE VEHICLE STALLED WHILE DRIVING 30 MPH. THE CONTACT TOOK THE VEHICLE TO THE DEALER WHO STATED THE INSTRUMENT CLUSTER CAUSED THE VEHICLE TO STALL. THE DEALER REPLACED THE INSTRUMENT CLUSTER. A MONTH AFTER THE REPAIR THE VEHICLE CONTINUED TO STALL. THE CONTACT TOOK THE VEHICLE BACK TO THE DEALER WHO CONFIRMED THAT THE INSTRUMENT CLUSTER WAS FAULTY AND NEEDED TO BE REPLACED AGAIN. THE SECOND REPAIR ALSO DID NOT REMEDY THE STALLING. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 58,000.

Jan 13, 2012

WE PULLED OUT OF OUR DRIVEWAY AND DROVE AROUND THE CORNER WHEN WE HEARD A LOAD NOISE. THE CAR HAD LITTLE POWER; THEREFORE, WE TURNED AROUND AND, SLOWLY, DROVE BACK TO OUR HOME. UPON INSPECTING THE VEHICLE, IT WAS FOUND THAT THE EXHAUST PIPE HAD DROPPED AND WAS DRAGGING ON THE GROUND. I DID A SEARCH FOR 2007 FORD TAURUS EXHAUST SYSTEM PROBLEMS AND FOUND THAT THIS IS A VERY COMMON OCCURRANCE FOR THIS VEHICLE YEAR. I AM CONCERNED THAT THE VEHICLE WAS NOT RECALLED AND THE PROBLEM REPAIRED AT NO COST TO THE CONSUMER. AS A RECALL COORDINATOR AT A MEDICAL DEVICE MANUFACTURER, I UNDERSTAND THE IMPORTANCE OF QUALITY IN YOUR PRODUCT AS WELL AS THE COST OF POOR QUALITY. I DO NOT BELIEVE THAT THE COST OF POOR QUALITY SHOULD BE PASSED ON TO THE CONSUMER. FORD SHOULD HAVE TO TAKE CARE OF ALL EXPENSES. I PURCHASED THIS AUTOMOBILE WITH 14000 MILES AND WAS NOT AWARE OF THIS PROBLEM. THOUGH THE CAR HAS A SUBSTANTIAL NUMBER OF MILES, THIS STILL SHOULD NOT HAVE OCCURRED AND I WAS NEVER AWARE OF THIS REOCCURRING PROBLEM; OTHERWISE,I WOULD NEVER HAVE PURCHASED THE VEHICLE KNOWING THAT THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT COVERING THE COST TO REPAIR THE PROBLEM. HAD WE BEEN ON THE HIGHWAY TRAVELING AT RATES OF 65 TO 70 MILES PER HOUR, WE WOULD HAVE BEEN SERIOUSLY INJURED, MAIMED, OR EVEN KILLED! *TR

Jan 06, 2012

WHILE PULLING OUT OF A PARKING LOT THE EXHAUST PIPE FAILED AT THE MANIFOLD CONNECTION DROPPING THE ENTIRE FRONT OF THE EXHAUST, INCLUDING THE CATALYTIC CONVERTER TO THE GROUND. AT A HIGHER SPEED OR WITH UNEVEN GROUND THIS COULD HAVE CAUSED SERIOUS DAMAGE OR INJURY. THIS APPEARS TO BE A COMMON OCCURRENCE WITH THIS YEAR VEHICLE. EXHAUST/EMISSIONS PROBLEM. THE CONSUMER STATED FORD IS COVERING THE PARTS AND LABOR AT 100%. UPDATED 05/24/11

May 22, 2011

THE CONNECTION FROM THE EXHAUST SYSTEM TO THE ENGINE MANIFOLD HAS FAILED TWICE, ONCE AT 32K MILES AND NOW AT 81K MILES. BOTH TIMES THIS CAUSED THE ENTIRE EXHAUST SYSTEM TO COLLAPSE TOWARDS THE FRONT OF THE VEHICLE CAUSING THE VEHICLE TO STOP MOVING FORWARD. LUCKILY BOTH TIMES I WAS IN A PARKING LOT GOING UNDER 15MPH OTHERWISE THIS COULD HAVE CAUSED AN ACCIDENT ON A ROADWAY. I DID NOT HIT ANYTHING EITHER TIME. THE SAFETY CONCERN IS NOT THE FACT THAT THIS PART FAILS FOR NO APPARENT REASON, BUT THE FACT THAT THERE IS NO SUPPORT FOR THE EXHAUST SYSTEM BETWEEN THE REAR AND FRONT OF THE VEHICLE. *TR

THE CONTACT MENTIONED THAT THE ENGINE STALLED NUMEROUS TIMES WHILE DRIVING AT VARIOUS SPEEDS. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO A CERTIFIED MECHANIC, WHO INSPECTED THE VEHICLE AND DETERMINE THAT THE TRANSMISSION NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 124,000.

Oct 07, 2014

VEHICLE SUDDENLY LOST POWER TO THE WHEELS IN THE MIDDLE OF HEAVY RUSH HOUR TRAFFIC, THOUGH THE VEHICLE WAS STILL ON. AFTER COASTING INTO A PARKING LOT, I TRIED TO MOVE THE CAR BOTH FORWARD AND BACKWARD AND IT JUST WOULDN'T GO. THERE WAS NO NOISE TO INDICATE SOMETHING HAD BROKEN. AFTER TAKING IT TO THE TRANSMISSION SHOP, I FOUND OUT FROM THE OWNER THAT THE TORQUE CONVERTER WAS AT FAULT AND THAT THEY SAW THIS ALL THE TIME ON THIS GENERATION OF FORD TAURUS AROUND 60,000 TO 90,000 MILES DRIVEN. IT COST ABOUT $3,000 TO REPAIR BUT LUCKILY WON'T HAPPEN AGAIN BECAUSE A FEW AFTER MARKET AUTO PARTS MANUFACTURERS HAVE REALIZED THIS ISSUE EXISTS AND HAVE MADE STRENGTHENED TORQUE CONVERTERS. IF TRANSMISSION SHOPS HAVE NOTICED THIS IS AN ISSUE AND PARTS MANUFACTURERS HAVE NOTICED THIS IS ENOUGH OF AN ISSUE TO MAKE A PROFIT FROM, THEN THIS IS SOMETHING FORD NEEDS TO RECTIFY. THE TORQUE CONVERTER FAILING AT 75,000 MILES IS ALONE UNACCEPTABLE AND POTENTIALLY QUITE DANGEROUS, THOUGH I WAS LUCKY. PLEASE INVESTIGATE. *TR

May 30, 2014

IT IS SHAMEFUL THAT FORD MOTOR COMPANY AND YOU ARE ALREADY AWARE OF THIS PROBLEM WITH THE TRANSMISSIONS AND TORQUE CONVERTER ON THE 2006 AND THE 2007 FORD TAURUSES. I REPORTED MY HUSBAND'S 2006 FORD TAURUS TRANSMISSION PROBLEM TO YOU IN 2011. WE DELIVERED OUR SON'S 2007 FORD TAURUS TO THE TRANSMISSION REPAIR SHOP TODAY. AGAIN THE TRANSMISSION REPAIRMAN TOLD US THE SAME EXACT THING - THAT THE TORQUE CONVERTER AND TRANSMISSIONS ARE DEFECTIVE IN THOSE YEAR MODELS AND MORE YEAR MODELS IN THE FORD TAURUS. HE KNOWS THERE SHOULD BE A RECALL FROM 1996 TIL NOW ON THE FORD TAURUS DEFECTIVE TRANSMISSION. THE CAR COMES TO A COMPLETE STOP ANYWHERE AND IT WILL NOT GO FORWARD OR BACKWARD(MY HUSBAND'S CAR DID THIS). WE DELIVERED OUR SON'S WHEN WE NOTICED AT ABOUT 45 MILES PER HOUR THE CAR JUMPS JUST LIKE MY HUSBANDS 2006 FORD TAURUS DID JUST BEFORE IT STOPPED SUDDENLY IN THE ROAD. YOUR FAILURE TO FIX THIS PROBLEM IS NEGLIGENCE AND FORD MOTOR COMPANY IS RESPONSIBLE FOR THIS. HOW MANY PEOPLE HAVE TO DIE TO FIX THIS PROBLEM? IT IS VERY DANGEROUS AND FIXABLE. *JS

SERVICE BRAKES

5 complaints

Severely rusted brake line to the driver side real brake ruptured and caused loss of brake function and emptying of the single brake fluid reservoir. I cannot currently find the ruptured line segment, but a portion of the other rear brake line was similarly rusted prompting preventative repair. Fortunately, my wife was driving at low speed and was able to maneuver the car into a parking spot. An employee at the O'Reilly store where I bought replacement parts thought the state of the ruptured line meant that it came from a 1980s model vehicle rather than a 2007 model. No one in an official capacity has inspected the brake line. My wife did not report nor have I observed any brake warning lamps during my repairs (the brake lamp does illuminate when the parking brake is engaged). Rusting occurred due to trapped road debris in a brake line support tray under driver's seat. I will include a photograph of the removed tray and a brake line portion that came from it. Close inspection of the photograph can see the debris and rust in the tray and significant rust on the non-failed brake line also restrained in it. I will also include a (scanned) receipt from O'Reilly documenting the repair parts and date.

ON JULY 10, 2017 I WAS PROCEEDING WITHIN THE SPEED LIMIT ON A CITY STREET. I NOTICED A LINE OF STOPPED CARS SOME DISTANCE AHEAD OF ME. I ATTEMPTED TO APPLY MY BRAKES, BUT IT SOON BECAME EVIDENT THAT THAT THEY WERE NOT FUNCTIONING PROPERLY. THUS, MY RATE OF SPEED WAS NOT BEING SUFFICIENTLY REDUCED. I PUMPED THE BRAKES, BUT TO NO AVAIL. I THEN APPLIED A GREAT DEAL OF PRESSURE TO THE BRAKE PEDAL, BUT IT MEEKLY SUNK TO THE FLOOR. BY THE TIME I WENT FOR THE EMERGENCY BRAKE, AND I COLLIDED WITH THE CAR IN FRONT OF ME AT A LOW RATE OF SPEED. FORTUNATELY, THE OTHER DRIVER AND MYSELF WERE UNHARMED, AND THE DAMAGE TO OUR VEHICLES WAS MINIMAL. I HAD MY CAR TOWED TO A MECHANIC, AND THEY INSPECTED MY BRAKING SYSTEM. THEY NOTICED SEVERE CORROSION ON THE REAR BRAKE LINES, TO THE POINT THAT THERE WAS SERIOUS LEAKING. I HAD MY FRONT BRAKE LINES PATCHED IN JANUARY OF THIS YEAR DUE TO CORROSION. IN THAT INSTANCE, I WAS FORTUNATE THAT MY INSTRUMENT PANEL ALERTED ME TO LOW BRAKE FLUID LEVELS. I WAS NOT SO LUCKY THIS TIME AROUND. I HAVE SPOKEN WITH SEVERAL MECHANICS AND READ VARIOUS OTHER PROFESSIONAL OPINIONS ONLINE ABOUT THIS ERA (2007) OF FORD'S BRAKE LINES. FROM THIS INFORMATION, I HAVE GLEANED THAT THERE ARE SERIOUS PROBLEMS WITH THE CORROSION OF BRAKE LINES. I LIVE IN A MILD CLIMATE WHERE THE ROADS ARE RARELY SALTED, AND YET I HAVE HAD THE AFOREMENTIONED EXPERIENCES. PLEASE DO WHATEVER IS NECESSARY TO REMEDY THIS ISSUE: IT MAY VERY WELL SAVE SOMEONE'S LIFE.

FACTORY STEEL BRAKE LINES RUSTED THROUGH. THE BRAKE LINES WERE PARTIALLY PLASTIC COATED. THE PART OF THE LINE THAT RUSTED THROUGH WASN'T COATED AND RAN DOWN THE DRIVERS SIDE OF THE CAR NEAR ONE OF THE HANGERS. BRAKE LINES SHOULD NOT BE MADE OUT OF STEEL FOR VEHICLES. THE SALT THAT IS USED ON THE ROADS IN THE NORTH EAST US EATS THE BRAKE LINES UP WAY TOO QUICKLY. THIS IS A SERIOUS SAFETY ISSUE! *TR

AS I'M DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD MY 2007 FORD TAURUS HAS STARTED TO ACCELERATE ON IT'S OWN. ON JULY 9 THIS INCIDENT OCCURRED AND I WAS INVOLVED IN A CAR ACCIDENT HITTING A TREE. WHEN I START MY CAR IT WILL REV UP TO 2 RPM AND I HAVE TO PUSH THE GAS TO BRING IT BACK DOWN. MY MECHANIC HAS CHANGED THE O2 SENSOR AND SEVERAL OTHER THINGS. I BELIEVE THIS ISSUE IS FAIRLY COMMON BUT NEEDS TO BE ADDRESSED. I HAVE TO RIDE MY BREAKS TO EVEN STAY STATIONARY AT A STOP LIGHT BECAUSE MY CAR WILL ACCELERATE UP TO 20 MPH IN A MATTER OF THIRTY SECONDS. I GOT LUCKY THAT MY CHILDREN WEREN'T WITH ME AT THE TIME I CRASHED I WAS ALSO LUCKY THAT I HAVEN'T READ ENDED ANYONE. NOW I AM SITTING WITH A VERY UNSAFE CARE AND STUCK PLEASE HELP ME FIX THE ISSUE.

FAILURE OF THE HEATER / AC / DEFROSTER BLOWER MOTOR DUE TO WATER LEAKAGE THROUGH THE FIREWALL COWLING. THIS PROBLEM HAS BEEN KNOWN TO FORD SINCE AT LEAST 2003, YET THEY HAVE NOT IMPLEMENTED THEIR OWN TSB 04-15-3 ON THE PRODUCTION LINE AS RECENTLY AS 2007. FORD REFUSES TO ISSUE A RECALL CLAIMING THAT THERE IS NO SAFETY ISSUE INVOLVED EVEN THOUGH FAILURE OF THE BLOWER COULD CAUSE REDUCED VISIBILITY IN INCLEMENT WEATHER DUE TO FAILURE OF THE DEFROSTER OR DEFOGGER. THERE IS ALSO A STRONG POSSIBILITY OF FIRE SHOULD THE BLOWER SHORT OR SEIZE DUE TO WATER AND RUST BUILD-UP IN THE BLOWER MOTOR. *TR

THE HIGH AC LINE DRIPS ON THE SERPENTINE BELT AS A RESULT OF CONDENSATION DURING AC USE. THIS CAUSES A LIGHT SQUEAL THAT LEADS TO A LOUD SQUEAL. DURING THE SUMMER, THE ONLY WORK AROUND IS HAVING THE BELT CLEANED REGULARLY DURING THE SUMMER MONTHS. EVENTUALLY, WHILE OPERATING THE VEHICLE ON THE EXPRESSWAY, THE MOISTURE CAUSED THE COMPRESSOR TO SEIZE. WHEN THE COMPRESSOR SEIZED, IT CAUSED THE BELT TO SNAP WHICH CAUSED THE VEHICLE TO HAVE A LOSS OF POWER DURING OPERATION WHICH MADE ME ALMOST LOSE CONTROL OF MY VEHICLE POTENTIALLY LEADING TO AN ACCIDENT. THE MANUFACTURER HAS ACKNOWLEDGED A MANUFACTURER DEFECT BUT WILL NOT GET BACK TO ME TO RESOLVE THE MATTER. THE MANUFACTURER SUGGESTED THAT I GO TO THE DEALERSHIP AND PAY FOR THE REPAIR WITH HOPES THAT IT WILL BE RECALLED IN THE FUTURE AND I BE REIMBURSED. HOWEVER, THE DEALERSHIPS AREN'T ABLE TO PERFORM A REPAIR BECAUSE THERE IS NO WAY TO REPAIR IT WITHOUT A RECALL.

CAR ACCELERATOR GOT STUCK AT ABOUT 4,000 RPMS. IT WOULD NOT DISLODGE UNTIL CAR WAS FORCED TO STOP BY MAXING PRESSURE ON BRAKES AND PUTTING CAR INTO 'PARK'. RESEARCH SHOWS THAT THE CRUISE CONTROL CABLE GETS WORN AND DISCONNECTS FROM THE THROTTLE BODY AND CAN GET STUCK ON THE THROTTLE CABLE DISALLOWING THE THROTTLE TO RETURN TO IDLE POSITION. THIS VIN IS NOT SUBJECT TO ANY OPEN RECALLS BUT THE CONDITION IS VERY DANGEROUS.

Jun 28, 2015

CRUISE CONTROL STOPPED WORKING - CHECKED CABLE AT THROTTLE AND IT HAD COME UNATTACHED-REATTACHED CABLE AND ALL WAS FINE FOR A DAY. THEN CAR STARTED TO HOLD SPEED WHEN CRUISE CONTROL WAS NOT ON. WHEN BRAKING, FELT LIKE GAS PEDAL WAS STILL ENGAGED. PUT CAR INTO NEUTRAL AND RPMS WENT UP. TAPPED GAS PEDAL AND ALL RETURNED TO NORMAL. PUT CAR BACK INTO DRIVE AND IT WAS FINE AGAIN FOR A FEW MINUTES, THEN SAME PROBLEM HAPPENED AGAIN. CAR WILL HOLD RPMS AS IF GAS PEDAL IS STILL ENGAGED EVEN WHEN MY FOOT IS NO LONGER ON THE GAS. HAVE TO DEPRESS GAS PEDAL HARD AND FAST TO GET IT TO DISENGAGE AGAIN. BEGINNING TO HAPPEN MORE REGULARLY. HAVE TO PUT THE VEHICLE IN NEUTRAL OFTEN TO COME TO A SAFE STOP. CRUISE CONTROL CABLE KEEPS DETACHING FROM ITS HOUSING AND MAKES THE THROTTLE STICK PARTIALLY OPEN. *TR

WHEN GOING DOWN THE STREET AT ANY SPEED, THE CAR CAN JUST START GOING FASTER ON ITS OWN, GOING AROUND CORNERS OR ANYTIME GOING DOWN THE ROAD. ITS GETTING VERY DANGEROUS. MOST OF THE TIME WHEN YOU TAP ON THE GAS PEDAL, IT WILL BREAK FREE AND GO BACK TO NORMAL BUT SOMETIMES IT JUST GOES FASTER AND FASTER. HAVE TO POP IT IN NEUTRAL AND KEEP TAPPING THE PEDAL AND HOPE IT GOES BACK TO NORMAL. VERY DANGEROUS FOR ME OR MY KIDS AND OTHER DRIVERS ON THE ROAD. ANOTHER THING IS THAT I CAN TURN ON THE CRUISE CONTROL AND THE LIGHT SHOWS IT IS ON BUT WHEN I PUSH THE SET BUTTON NOTHING HAPPENS. *TR

Basically I was driving and stopped and my house and while in ideal the wiring under the hood and under the fender into the dash all started to melt together shorting the systems so I tried to repair and replace the parts due to being a used vehicle and didn't know how to report this until now. So I cut the melted chunk of wiring harnesses out and trashed it. But I stopped due to the inability to find any replacement harnesses from Ford or mercury so now my car has been sitting for several months. I have only been able to find melted harnesses on junk yard cars. Ford used poor quality 16 gauge wiring that the outer coating became brittle and easily frayed. Every wiring harness I've seen has bad spots from wires melting or breaking and corroding. I'm my case the wiring melted causing the cooling system to stop working properly and almost damaged or may have damaged my engine. I don't have full coverage so I am forced to park it and do what I can myself which has made me lose my job and ruined my life. Please do look into this I'm sure more people have the same issue just check a junk yard and you'll see what I mean. Thank you for your time I will try to provide any further information or help if needed anyway I can to make sure someone doesn't get hurt.

THE CAR IS IN GOOD SHAPE AND HAS REGULAR MAINTENANCE. WE ALSO OWN A FORD MUSTANG, FORD FOCUS, AND FORD F-150. WE HAVE BEEN REGULAR FORD CUSTOMERS FOR YEARS. TODAY I DROVE MY CAR ON THE INTERSTATE FOR A FEW MINUTES BEFORE SOMETHING WAS APPARENTLY VERY WRONG. I SPED UP TO MERGE WITH TRAFFIC AND SUDDENLY THE CAR CONTINUED ACCELERATING, EVEN WITH MY FOOT OFF THE GAS. I USED THE BRAKE TO SLOW DOWN A BIT, BUT IT WOULD NOT SLOW DOWN ENOUGH. FROM THERE I BEGAN HAVING A PANIC ATTACK. I WASN'T SURE IF I COULD GET OUT OF TRAFFIC WITHOUT HITTING SOMEONE AND OFF THE EXIT RAMP. WITHOUT GOING INTO ALL THE DETAILS, I MANAGED TO USE THE EXIT LANE AND SOMEWHAT SAFELY STOP THE CAR AT AN ABANDONED GAS STATION. UPON TRYING TO BRING THE CAR TO A FULL STOP, I USED THE PARKING BRAKE AND PUT THE CAR IN PARK. THE ENGINE ROARED AND THE RPMS SKYROCKETED TO 4,000 BEFORE I WAS ABLE TO TURN THE CAR OFF. HAD THIS NOT BEEN A MONDAY EARLY AFTERNOON WITHOUT MUCH TRAFFIC ON A SUNNY DAY, I DON?T KNOW IF THIS STORY WOULD HAVE ENDED AS WELL. I TRULY FEARED FOR MY LIFE AND THOSE ON THE ROAD WITH ME. IT IS CLEAR AFTER THE FACT THAT THE CRUISE CONTROL LINKAGE CAME OFF. (I HAVE NEVER USED THE CRUISE CONTROL IN THIS CAR, INCLUDING TODAY.) LOOKING AT THIS I CANNOT IMAGINE HOW FORD COULD DESIGN SOMETHING SO CLEARLY DESIGNED TO FAIL. WHEN THE GAS IS PUSHED, POSSIBLY IN EXCESS TO ENTER A BUSY INTERSTATE, THE PLASTIC ASSEMBLY IS PUSHED TO THE POINT THAT IT WILL EVENTUALLY FAIL. I DEMAND A FULL INVESTIGATION OF THIS SO THAT NO ONE ELSE'S LIFE WILL BE ENDANGERED AS MINE WAS TODAY. I HAVE YET TO FULLY RECOVER THIS HIGHLY EMOTIONAL EVENT. I WOULD APPRECIATE A COPY OF YOUR INVESTIGATIVE FINDINGS. INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6). *TR

CAR WILL NOT START RIGHT AWAY, MUST PUMP GAS AND KEEP TRYING AFTER A MINUTE OR 2 THEN IT STARTS. WE KNOW THERE IS A PLASTIC PART ON THE FUEL LINE AND WERE TOLD TO WATCH FOR ISSUES AND A RECALL AS THERE WERE MANY ISSUES WITH IT.

CAR CONTINUED TO ACCELERATE AND HAD DIFFICULTY IN STOPPING. PUT INTO NEUTRAL AND ENGINE RACED FOR A FEW MINUTES, TAPPED GAS PEDAL AND IT SLOWED DOWN. THERE HAVE BEEN FOUR INCIDENTS OF THIS NATURE SINCE THE LATEST BEING SUNDAY, JULY 1, 2012. AFTER THE FIRST THREE INCIDENTS IT WAS TAKEN TO THE LOCAL FORD DEALER AND THEY COULD FIND NOTHING WRONG. THE LAST INCIDENT WHEN PUT INTO NEUTRAL THE ENGINE AND TRANSMISSION SHOOK FOR A WHILE AND IT SLOWED DOWN. *JS

WHILE RETURNING TO LUBBOCK, TX FROM CARROLLTON, TX WITH THE CRUISE CONTROL ON THE ENGINE BEGAN RACING BUT THE CAR SLOWED DOWN. APPLIED BRAKE TO TURN OFF CRUISE CONTROL AND COASTED OFF THE HIGHWAY. THE TEMPERATURE WAS ABOUT 105 DEGREES OUTSIDE AND WAS 20 MILES AWAY FROM NEAREST TOWN. WAS STRANDED UNTIL TOW TRUCK COULD MAKE IT OUT THERE. CAR WOULD NOT ENGAGE IN ANY GEAR. SHOP DETERMINED THAT TORQUE CONVERTER FAILED. CAR HAS NEVER TOWED ANYTHING. *TR

CAR ACCELERATED WHEN BRAKING APPROACHING INTERSECTION. THROTTLE APPEARED STUCK. HAD TO "GUN THROUGH INTERSECTION", RACE INTO PLAZA PARKING LOT ON OTHER SIDE AND PARK IRREGULARLY SHUTTING ENGINE OFF. TRIED RESTARTING FIVE MINUTES LATER, SAME PROBLEM SO LEFT PARKED AND CALLED FOR RIDE. NEXT MORNING CALLED OUR MECHANIC THREE MILES AWAY AND HE SAID TO "BRING IN SLOWLY WITH CAUTION SO AS TO NOT ACCELERATE INTO SOMETHING, OTHERWISE CALL FOR TOW". DID AS TOLD AND AN ELECTRONIC SENSOR WAS REPLACED. HEARD RECENTLY ABOUT THE PROBLEMS BEING INVESTIGATED WITH SIMILAR SYMPTOMS ON '06 TAURUS' DUE TO POSSIBLE CRUISE CABLE FAILURE? OUR CRUISE STOPPED WORKING LAST YEAR-USE ONLY ON LONG TRIPS AND SO NOTICED AT CHRISTMAS GOING 300 MILES HWY TO RELATIVES. COINCIDENCE? ANYWAY, WAS ON WAY HOME TODAY AND ACCELERATOR AGAIN RACED AND HAD TO PULL OVER SEVERAL TIMES IN ORDER NOT TO HURT TRANSMISSION JAMMING GEAR SHIFT INTO PARK SINCE HOLDING DOWN BRAKE HARD WASN'T STOPPING CAR. AGAIN DROVE IT TO MECHANIC AND WAS PICKED UP. WILL SPEAK WITH HIM IN THE MORNING ABOUT CHECKING PART ALREADY REPLACED ETC. BEFORE AN ACCIDENT OR TRANSMISSION BLOWUP OCCUR(WAS ALREADY CLOSED WHEN I ARRIVED). PART REPLACED HAS ONLY BEEN USED A MONTH OR SO BY ME!? *TR

TAKATA RECALL I WAS DRIVING 60MPH AND TRIED TO SET CRUISE CONTROL AND TOOK FOR OFF GAS ABS THE CAR KEPT ACCELERATING FAST. ABOUT 80MPH I TAPPED THE BRAKE, CRUISE CONTROL LIGHT TURNED OFF AND CAR KEPT ACCELERATING AND RPMS WERE IN THE RED. I PUSHED AS HARD AS I COULD ON THE BRAKES AND CAR KEPT ACCELERATING PAST 85MPH AND I WAS NOW COMING INTO 30MPH ZONE AND RPMS WERE HIGH AND I TRIED TO PUT IT IN NEUTRAL CAUSE I DIDN'T KNOW WHAT TO DO. THE ENGINE REVVED COMPLETELY UP WITH RPMS AND I FINALLY JUST THREW IT IN PARK IN ROAD AND TURNED CAR OFF AND CALLED INSURANCE FOR TOW TRUCK. MY SON SAID I HAD BURNT MY BRAKES.. UNSURE OTHER THAN THERE WAS SMOKE FROM SOMEPLACE UNDER CAR. I GOT DOWN AND VISUALLY AND LOOKED FOR GAS PEDAL TO BE STUCK OR ANYTHING AND IT WAS NORMAL. TRIED STARTING CAR AND IMMEDIATELY TURNED IT BACK OFF DUE TO RPMS IN RED. HAPPENED 3 SEPERATE TIMES BUT MECHANIC NEVER FOUND ANYTHING WRONG OR WHAT IT WAS SO MY DAD DISCONNECTED THE CRUISE CONTROL WIRES OR SOMETHING WITH CRUISE CONTROL. CAR IDLES NOW HIGH AND RPMS RUN HIGHER THAN NORMAL. NOBODY KNOWS WHAT TO FIX SO I DON'T KNOW WHAT TO FIX.

HIT THE BRAKE HARD AND THE RPM'S SHOT UP. I TURNED OFF THE ENGINE WHILE IN PARK. MY HUSBAND STARTED THE CAR WHILE IN PARK AND THE RPM'S SHOT UP AGAIN. EVENTUALLY, HE PRESSED THE GAS PEDAL AND THE RPM'S DROPPED. EARLIER THAT SAME WEEK, I HAD TO SWERVE TO AVOID HITTING A CAR IN FRONT OF ME WHILE DRIVING DOWN HILL. I ASSUMED THAT MY BRAKES WERE BEGINNING TO FAIL, BUT NOW I AM WONDER *TRING IF THIS SAME PROBLEM CAUSED MY CAR TO SURGE FORWARD EVEN THOUGH I WAS TRYING TO SLOW DOWN. *TR

SINCE MY 2007 FORD TAURUS HIT THE 100K MILE MARK, EVERYTHING STARTED FAILING. FIRST IT WAS A SIMPLE CAM SENSOR, THEN RADIATOR (X2) THROTTLE BODY, (X4 EACH WINTER FOR 4 YEARS IN A ROW WOULD JUST FAIL. ENDED UP REPLACING WITH AN AFTER MARKET BRAND. HAVEN'T HAD A PROBLEM SINCE) NOW RECENTLY, WITH IN THE LAST 6 MONTHS, ALL SUSPENSION (STRUTS, SWAY LINKS, BALL JOINTS) ALL FAILED. REPLACED REARS ONCE, FRONTS ARE STILL A PROBLEM ON SECOND NEW PAIR. GOING ON THIRD PAIR JUST WITH IN 2 MONTHS OF EACH REPLACEMENT, THE STRUTS JUST FAIL. TRIED SEVERAL BRAND. KYB, AND GABRIEL. ALL FAILED AFTER ONLY 2 TO 3 MONTHS OF REPLACING. PLUS TIE RODS, AND ENDS ARE BAD. ALREADY STUCK IN A GOOD $3000 JUST TO KEEP THIS CAR DRIVABLE. WONDERING IF IT`S EVEN WORTH FIXING ANYMORE AT THIS POINT. MECHANICS CAN`T EXPLAIN WHY ALL OF THE SUDDEN, THE CAR`S EATING STRUTS IN SUCH SHORT TIME. NOTHING APPEARS TO BE DAMAGED UNDER BODY. AND I PURPOSELY AVOID POT HOLE RIDDEN SIDE ROADS, AND RAIL ROAD CROSSINGS WHEN I CAN. SO IT`S NOT LIKE I`M BEING ROUGH ON THE CAR. NEVER HAD SO MANY PROBLEMS WITH MY 2001 FORD TAURUS. SHOULD HAVE JUST KEPT IT. :( *TR

I HAVE ALREADY HAD THE THROTTLE BODY REPLACED 3 TIMES ON MY VEHICLE. IT LOPE, HEADLIGHTS DIM/BRIGHT, AND JUTTS. ALSO SLIGHT UNEXPLAINED ACCELERATION OCCURS, AND OCCASIONAL HESITATION ON ACCELERATION. FUEL FILTER REPLACED, FUEL PUMP CHECKED OUT WORKING PROPERLY, AND INJECTORS ARE RUNNING FINE. ALSO ALTERNATOR CHECKED OUT GOOD, NEW SPARK PLUGS, WIRES WORKING FINE, NEW BATTERY. MECHANIC CANNOT FIND ANYTHING WRONG WITH THE CAR, BUT IT RUNS TERRIBLY. IT`S LOPED SINCE AROUND 60K MILES, AND SEEMS TO BE STEADILY GETTING WORSE. ALSO ON THIRD RADIATOR. A FRIEND TOLD ME IT COULD BE THE AC GETTING LOW OR CHARGING, OR POSSIBLE IAC MOTOR GOING OUT, BUT THERE`S NO REAL GOOD WAY OF TESTING IT. DEALERS KEEP TELLING ME THEY WON`T FIX UNLESS IT`S FOR SURE BROKEN. WILL TAKE TILL I`M STRANDED TILL A MECHANIC WILL FIX THE PROBLEM.

THE ENGINE IDLE SPEED WOULD SURGE AFTER A COLD START. A MECHANIC CLEANED THE THOTTLE BODY. THIS SEEMED TO HELP THE SURGING PROBLEM, BUT THEN THE CAR WOULD START TO ACCELERATE FOR NO APPARENT REASON. TO STOP THE VEHICLE FROM ACCELERATING, IT WAS NECESSARY TO SHIFT INTO NEUTRAL & PUMP THE GAS PEDAL SEVERAL TIMES. AFTER THIS HAPPENED A COUPLE OF TIMES I HAD THE IDLE CONTROL MODULE REPLACED. FOR A WHILE THE VEHICLE RAN OK, THEN IT STARTED TO ACCELERATE AGAIN FOR NO REASON. WHILE IT WAS ACCELERATING, I SHIFTED TO NEUTRAL AND PULLED TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD. TURNED THE ENGINE OFF AND THEN ON AGAIN AND IT REVVED UP TO 4000 RPM. LOOKING AROUND THE THROTTLE BODY, I FOUND A CABLE DISCONNECTED FROM THE LOWER PART OF THE THROTTLE BODY. THIS CABLE WENT TO A BOX NEAR THE FIREWALL WHICH I ASSUME TO BE THE CRUISE CONTROLLER. I RECONNECTED THE CABLE AT THE THROTTLE BODY AND HAVE NOT ANY PROBLEMS SINCE THEN. HOWEVER, I AM AMAZED AT HOW EASY IT IS TO DISCONNECT THE CABLE FROM THE THROTTLE BODY. IT PROBABLY BECAME DISCONNECTED WHEN THE MECHANIC CLEANED THE THROTTLE BODY. *TR

I HAD DRIVEN MY CAR IN THE AM AND IT WOULD NOT START IN THE AFTERNOON. I CALLED FOR A TOW ON MONDAY, AFTER THE HOLIDAY. THE SYMPTOMS PRESENTED AT THE TIME OF FAILURE WERE: THE CAR DID NOT START, AND THE ANTI-THEFT LIGHT WAS BLINKING. THE CAR WAS JUMPED AND THE VEHICLE WAS BROUGHT IN FOR SERVICE. THE DEALERSHIP COULD NOT FIND ANY PROBLEMS. TODAY, THE CAR STOPPED WORKING AGAIN, SAME ISSUES. THIS TIME I DID NOT ALLOW THE CAR TO BE JUMPED. INSTEAD, IT WAS TOWED TO THE DEALER WHO WAS ABLE TO RUN A BETTER DIAGNOSTIC WHICH APPEARED TO BE THE ALTERNATOR, BUT IT COULD ALSO BE THE COMPUTER.
