THE REAR SUSPENSION IS VERY LOW IN THE REAR, THE CAR RIDES VERY ROUGH, AND THE PEOPLE AT THE DEALERSHIP SAID THAT'S NORMAL, I HAVE TALKED TO A FORD DEALER AND HE SAID NO IT'S NOT. I TRIED TO GET IT FIXED AND THEY WONT DO IT, THE CAR HAS BEEN TAKEN OFF THE ROAD, AND I REFUSE TO PAY FOR IT ANYMORE. *AK

WINDSHIELD WIPERS COME ON FOR INTERMITTENTLY FOR NO APPARENT REASON. ESTIMATED COST OF PARTS IS AROUND $150.00. I AM AFRAID THE WHOLE SWITCH SYSTEM WILL GO OUT DUE TO EXCESSIVE USE AND UNNECESSARY USE. THIS COULD BE A POTENTIAL HAZARD IF THEY GO OUT DURING INCLIMATE WEATHER. *AK

WHILE TURNING INTO A PARKING PLACE AT THE MOVIE THEATER, THE CAR SUDDENLY SEEMED TO HAVE SLIPPED INTO NEUTRAL GEAR, EVEN THOUGH THE GEAR INDICATOR DID NOT MOVE FROM THE DRIVE POSITION. I TRIED TO CHANGE INTO REVERSE AND DRIVE AND LOW GEARS BUT THE CAR DID NOT MOVE. I HAD TO HAVE IT TOWED AND ENDED UP NEEDING $2,000 WORTH OF TRANSMISSION REPAIRS. I BOUGHT THE CAR(USED-ONE PREVIOUS OWNER) IN AUG 2001 AND I STILL HAVE AN AUTO LOAN WHICH I AM PAYING, SO THIS BILL HAS DEVASTATED ME. I HAVE HAD SEVERAL "MAJOR" PROBLEMS WITH THE CAR, BUT THIS WAS THE WORST.*AK

MY FORD TAURUS ANT-LOCK BRAKE SYSTEM LIGHT UNDER THE DASH BOARD WHILE DRIVING ALTERNATELY FLASHES ON AND OFF SOMETIMES WHILE I AM BRAKING. WHILE BRAKING SOMETIMES THE ANTI-LOCK BRAKES DOESN'T WORK.*AK

THE "RACK AND PINION" ON MY 1999 FORD TAURUS NEEDS REPLACING. I THINK THIS IS TOO SOON UNDER "NORMAL" CITY DRIVING. THE CAR IS STILL UNDER THE 6 YR.-75,000MI. WARRANTY. *AK

THE CONSUMER NOTICED SMOKE COMING FROM UNDER THE HOOD WHILE DRIVING AT 45 MPH. THE HOOD THEN BURST INTO FLAMES. THE FIRE BURNT THROUGH THE PAINT ON THE HOOD, MELTED THE FRONT TIRE, DASHBOARD AND OTHER FRONT END COMPONENTS. THE FIRE DEPARTMENT HASN'T IDENTIFIED THE CAUSE OF THE FIRE. THE CONSUMER FEELS IT MAY BE RELATED TO THE RECALL 98V288000 FOR THE TRANSMISSION OIL COOLER LINE. THE VIN NUMBER IS OUTSIDE THE REMEDY SCOPE. *NM *NM

WHILE ACCELERATING ON AN ON RAMP TO THE INTERSTAE GOING APPROXIMATELY 35-40MPH THERE WAS A LOUD BANG ORGINATING FROM THE VEHICLES FRONT LEFT SIDE. THIS TURNED OUT TO BE BROKEN FRONT LEFT COIL SPRING WHICH PUNCTURED THE FRONT LEFT TIRE. THIS RESULTED IN AN OVER $900.00 SERVICE BILL.*AK

HEAD GASKET REQUIRED REPLACEMENT AT 51,000 MILES ON A 19999 FORD TAURUS 3.0 ENGINE

UPON STARTING VEHICLE CONSUMER HEARD A NOISE. CONSUMER CHECKED THE POWER STEERING FLUID LEVEL AND FOUND OUT THAT THE LEVEL WAS LOW. FLUID WAS DRAINING INTO THE BELLOWS, WHICH WAS A RUBBER BOOT THAT PROTECTED THE INNER TIE ROD. CONSUMER DETERMINED THAT A SNAPPED RING WAS MISSING FROM THE BELLOWS. *AK

WHILE DRIVING VEHICLE STALLED. AFTER INSPECTION CONSUMER WAS TOLD THAT THE FUEL PUMP NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. *AK

SWAYBAR ENDLINKS ARE JUNK BUT DEALER INSISTS OEM ONLY WAY TO GO. AODX TRANSMISSION KICKS IN AND OUT. NOW EXPERIENCING P0500 CODE (FAULTY SPEED SENSOR)? REAR BRAKES HAVE ALWAYS SQUEELED (EVEN WITH OEM PADS) HAVE HAD TWO APPARENT BLOWOUTS OF PASS SIDE SEAL IN RACK.

FRONT BRAKE ROTOR WARP ALOT AT LEASE A SET A YEAR TRANSMISSION SHIFTS ROUGH AT TIMES STEERING IS STIFT PULLS TO THE LEFT HARD SOMETIMES, THINK IT MIGHT BE SOMETHING WITH THE TRANSAXLE?

HEAT ONLY OPERATED ON MAX. BOUGHT REPAIR MANUAL AND REPAIR PART AND FIXED IT MYSELF. (VEHICLE WAS 1 MONTH OUT OF WARRANTY AND DEALER WOULD NOT HELP). STEERING GEAR FAILED. (VEHICLE WARRANTY WAS UNDER MILEAGE BUT OVER ON TIME. (DEALER WOULD NOT HELP WITH PARTS OR LABOR EVEN THOUGH THEY KNEW THE PART WAS DEFECTIVE).

IN A 1999 FORD TAURUS SE, MY 6 YEAR OLD SON BECAME TRAPPED IN A SEAT BELT THAT WAS NOT EVEN BUCKLED. AFTER ARRIVING HOME AT 9 P.M. MY SON HAD JUST UNBUCKLED HIS SEAT BELT WHEN SOMEHOW HE PULLED THE SEAT BELT OVER HIM AND THE SEAT BELT WRAPPED AROUND HIM AND IT WAS AROUND HIS WAIST AND BACK. THE SEAT BELT JUST KEPT GETTING TIGHTER ON HIM AND WOULD NOT RELEASE JUST LIKE A COWBOYS LASOE. ANY SLACK I COULD GET WAS GOING UP IN THE SHOULDER RESTAINT. THE BELT WOULD NOT GIVE ME ANY SLACK. THIS WAS IN THE REAR SEAT ON THE DRIVERS SIDE. AFTER IT GOT SO TIGHT THAT MY SON WAS CRYING IN PAIN AND PANIC, I FINALLY HAD TO CUT THE SEAT BELT TO FREE MY SON. MY COMPLAINT IS THAT THIS SHOULD HAVE NEVER HAPPENED. WHY IS THERE NO SLACK GIVEN ON THE SEAT BELT ESPECIALLY IN A PARKED CAR. THE BELT SHOULD NOT KEEP LOCKING AND TAKING UP SLACK. THIS IS AN UNSEEN DANGER LURKING THAT COULD ENTRAP A CHILD. THE BELT WILL ENTRAP A CHILD WITHOUT BEING SECURED IN THE BUCKLE. BEWARE!!

THE TRANSMISSION WOULD SLIP OCCASIONALLY BUT WE DID NOT THINK MUCH ABOUT IT UNTIL ONE NIGHT MY HUHSBAND WAS DRIVING AND HE STOPPED AT A STOP SIGN AND WHEN HE TRIED TO GO AGAIN HE HEARD A POPPING SOUND AND THE CAR WILL NOT MOVE FORWARD! WHEN THE CAR WAS PUT IN ANY DRIVE GEAR YOU COULD HEAR GRINDING.

AT 20,000 MILES THE TRANSMISSION WAS REBUILT BECAUSE OF SHIFTING PROBLEMS. AT 70,000 SAME PROBLEM AGAIN. FORD SAID THIS PROBLEM WAS RARE SO DID NOT COVER. MY EASY CARE POLICY ($1500) WOULD NOT COVER BECAUSE I DIDN'T HAVE TRANSMISSION SERVICED AT 50,000 MILES. I ARGUED THAT TRANSMISSION FLUID CHANGING WOULD NOT HAVE PREVENTED THIS PROBLEM AS IT WAS AN ONGOING PROBLEM WITH FORD TAURUS TRANSMISSIONS.STILL DRIVING AT 93000 MILES. SLIPPING , SHIFTING ERRATIC AND SHIFTING HARD.

THE AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION BEGAN TO MAKE A GRINDING NOISE, AND THEN I WAS UNABLE TO SHIFT GEARS. AFTER A FEW MOMENTS, THE TRANSMISSION FAILED COMPLETELY. I TOOK THE CAR TO A SHOP IN ITALY, AND THE MECHANIC ACTUALLY TOLD ME HE KNEW THAT THIS WAS A COMMON PROBLEM WITH THIS MODEL!*AK

POWER STEERING PUMP SEAL HAD DRASTIC LEAK. THIS CAUSED THE FLUID TO LEAK OUT AND DRAMATICALLY INCREASE THE EFFORT REQUIRED TO STEAR THE VEHICLE. SUCH DIFFICULTY IN STEARING COULD HAVE RESULTED IN A CRASH.*AK

HEATER CORE HAD TO BE REPLACED. DEALER STATED THAT IT BECAME CLOGGED BECAUSE OF SLUDGE BUILDUP.*AK

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.*AK

DRIVER SIDE COIL SPRING FAILURE RESULTING IN PUNCTURE OF DRIVER SIDE TIRE. CAR REPAIRED AT DEALER. BOTH SRINGS AND LEFT STRUT BEARING REPLACED. FORD DECLINED TO COVER ANY COST. THIS WAS MY WIFE'S CAR AND FREQUENTLY CARRIES THE FAMILY, LUCKILY FAILURE WAS AT LOW SPEED AND DID NOT PUT MY FAMILY AT RISK BUT MY FEELING IS FORD HAS A SERIOUS SAFETY ISSUE IN A DESIGN WHICH ALLOWS FOR A DRIVE TIRE PUNCTURE TO OCCUR. I STILL HAVE COIL SPRING THAT FAILED. *LA

1999 FORD TAURUS SE INVOLVED IN ACCIDENT AND AIR BAGS DID NOT DEPLOY.*MR CONSUMER SUSTAINED CHEST AND RIB PAIN. VEHICLE WAS TOTALED. *PH

POWER STEERING FAILURE- STEERING PUMP GROWLING AND WHINING WAS FOLLOWED BY OVERFLOW OF POWER STEERING FLUID AROUND CAP. REPAIR SHOP REPLACED POWER STEERING PUMP ($200) WHICH WORKED FOR LESS THAN 30 MINUTES BEFORE POWER STEERING ASSIST FAILED AGAIN. REPAIR SHOP IS NOW DIAGNOSING PROBLEM AS RACK AND PINION SEAL LEAKAGE ISSUE AND RECOMMENDING REPLACEMENT AT ANOTHER $ 200+ FOR PARTS PLUS 2+ HOURS OF LABOR. PURCHASED THIS CAR 11 MONTHS AGO WITH 26,000 MILES ON IT. FORD SAYS IT ISN'T THEIR PROBLEM. I WILL REMEMBER THAT WHEN I BUY MY NEXT CAR!*AK

COOLANT SYSTEM NEEDED TO BE FLUSHED OUT ON A YEARLY BASIS. IF NOT FLUSHED, WOULD HAVE SLUDGE BUILD UP IN THE HEATER CORE. AS A RESULT, HEATER CORE WOULD BECOME PLUGGED AND WOULD NOT OPERATE PROPERLY. *AK

TRANSMISSION ISSUES NOT RESOLVED. IN AUGUST OF 2002(65,445 MILES), REPLACED A SENSOR AND SLIPPING TRANSMISSION WAS FIXED. IN OCTOBER OF 2003 REPLACED TRANSMISSION (86,150 MILES) AND PROBLEM IS STILL OCCURRING.*AK

POWER STEERING SQUEAKS AND MAKES NOISES WHEN TURNING CORNERS. VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO DEALER, AND CONSUMER WAS TOLD THAT POWER STEERING PUMP WAS NOT WORKING PROPERLY.*AK CONSUMER NOTED THEY WOULDN'T REPAIR THE PUMP AT FIRST, BUT AFTER A FEW PHONE CALLS, THEY REPLACED IT. IT STARTED TO RUN FINE AFTERWARDS. *PH

1999 FORD TAURUS IS SUFFERING FROM ELECTRICAL PROBLEMS. *MR THE VEHICLE WOULD SHUT OFF WITH NO WARNING, THE LOCKS ON BOTH DOORS WERE OFF AND WOULD HAVE TO BE PLAYED WITH TO GET THEM TO OPEN AT TIMES, THE HEADLIGHTS WERE INOPERATIVE, ALSO THE DASH LIGHTS WERE INOPERATIVE BEHIND THE GAS GAUGE/RADIO/HEATING/AC/CLOCK/AND SPEEDOMETER, THE RPM GAUGE WAS DELAYED AT START, THE PASSENGER DOOR MADE NOISES WHEN OPENED AND CLOSED, THE WIPERS WERE INTERMITTENT, THE TURN SIGNALS WERE INTERMITTENT, THE BRAKE LIGHT HAD COME ON, THE VEHICLE WOULD NOT START IN THE MORNING BUT WOULD START AT NIGHT, THE VEHICLE WAS SLUGGISH AND HAD POOR GAS MILEAGE.

I HAVE HAD MY CAR FOR 2 YEARS AND IN THAT TIME I HAVE HAD THE TRANSMISSION REPLACED TWICE AND REBUILT ONCE. EVERYTIME I HAVE HAD IT WORKED ON IT WAS BECAUSE THE CAR WOULD NOT GO INTO GEAR. I HAVE ALSO HAD TO REPLACE A SPEED SENSOR, O2 SENSOR, AND A TRANSMISSION TURBO SENSOR. ALL OF THIS HAS HAPPENED FROM 6-02 THU 10-03. *LA

THE VEHICLE JUMPED AN EIGHT INCH CURB CROSSED A SIDEWALK AND A GRASSY AREA OF TWENTY FEET AND VIOLENTLY HIT A BRICK WALL. THE CONSUMER WAS UNABLE TO PLACE THE GEAR INTO PARK, TURN THE ENGINE OFF OR PULL THE KEY OUT OF THE IGNITION. *JB

THE WINDSHIELD WIPERS ACTIVATE WHILE THE SWITCH IS IN THE OFF POSITION.

JUST OUT OF THE BLUE, I STARTED HAVING DIFFICULTY WITH MY STEERING. FOR A COUPLE OF WEEKS, I HAD TO CONSTANTLY REPLACE POWER STEERING FLUID. WHAT REALLY SCARED ME WAS WHEN I HAD TO TRAVEL OUT OF STATE TO GET BACK HOME. I PUT IN POWER STEERING FLUID AND IT JUST DISAPPEARED RIGHT IN FRONT OF MY EYES. IT WAS AT THAT TIME I TOOK IT TO A MECHANIC AND HE WAS AMAZED WHEN HE SAW MY POWER STEERING FLUID LEAKING OUT OF THE RACK. THE SEAL HAD BROKEN BADLY. HE INFORMED ME THAT THE RACK PINION HAD TO BE REPLACED. I EXPECT I WOULD EVENTUALLY HAVE CAR PROBLEMS AS WITH ANYONE ELSE BUT I ALMOST FELL TO GROUND WHEN I WAS TOLD HOW MUCH IT WAS GOING TO TAKE TO REPAIR THE PROBLEM. I AM JUST REALLY DISAPPOINTED WITH FORD. I HAVE ALWAYS SPOKE VERY HIGHLY OF FORD AND I AM SURE I STILL WILL AND I AM SURE MY NEXT VEHICLE WILL BE A FORD. I JUST FOUND IT SO HARD TO BELIEVE THAT I HAD TO PAY FOR SOMETHING THIS MAJOR SO SOON. SAD THING IS, I FEEL EVEN WORSE AFTER LEARNING THERE ARE SO MANY OTHER CONSUMERS WHO HAS HAD THE SAME PROBLEM. I WAS AMAZED TO FIND THERE WAS SO MANY OTHERS. EVEN NOW, MY CAR DOES NOT FEEL THE SAME. I HAVE GOT TO TAKE IT BACK TO THE MECHANICS BECAUSE THE WHEEL HAS STARTED TO TIGHTEN UP AGAIN.

THE DRIVER'S SIDE FRONT COIL SPRING BROKE AND THE SHARP BROKEN EDGE SLICED THE TIRE OF OUR 1999 FORD TAURUS SEDAN, VIN #[XXX]. THE BOTTOM OF THE CAR SUDDENLY DROPPED AND THE TIRE BLEW OUT. WE WERE VERY, VERY LUCKY THAT THIS OCCURRED WHILE MY WIFE WAS SLOWLY BACKING OUT OF OUR DRIVEWAY. THERE WERE NO INJURIES OR OTHER CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGE TO THE VEHICLE. BUT IT WAS A TERRIFYING CLOSE MISS WITH A HORRIFIC CATASTROPHE. IF THE SPRING HAD BROKEN ONLY A SHORT TIME LATER, IT IS EXTREMELY LIKELY THAT MY WIFE AND SEVERAL OTHERS WOULD HAVE BEEN KILLED OR AT LEAST SERIOUSLY INJURED. SHE WAS JUST STARTING ON A DRIVE INTO BOSTON VIA ROUTE I93, A HEAVILY USED EXPRESSWAY. IMAGINE WHAT WOULD HAVE HAPPENED IF THE SPRING HAD BROKEN WHILE THE CAR WAS MOVING AT EXPRESSWAY SPEED AND SURROUNDED BY OTHER FAST MOVING VEHICLES. WE PURCHASED THE CAR APRIL 25, 2000 FROM HEWLETT PACKARD COMPANY WHERE IT HAD BEEN USED AS A COMPANY CAR ASSIGNED TO ONE OF THE MANAGERS. THE ODOMETER READ 5,352 THEN. MOST OF OUR DRIVING HAS BEEN DONE AROUND SUBURBAN BOSTON WHERE THE ROADS ARE WELL SURFACED AND MAINTAINED. ONE WEEK PRIOR TO THE INCIDENT (MAY 28) THE CAR HAD BEEN SERVICED BY IVERSEN FORD, 257 BOSTON ROAD, NORTH BILLERICA, MA. THE FRONT STABILIZER BARS AND LEFT INNER AXLE SEAL HAD BEEN REPLACED. I HAVE THE BROKEN SPRING AND THE ORIGINAL UNBROKEN SPRING FROM THE PASSENGER SIDE IN MY POSSESSION. I ALSO HAVE PHOTOGRAPHS OF THE SPRING AND SLASHED TIRE.
