2010 Ford Taurus

I HAVE EXPERIENCED PROBLEMS WITH MY TAURUS FOR THREE YEARS BEGINNING WITH THE BAD BRAKE SYSTEM, LEAKING MOON ROOF, AND NOW THE TROTTAL SENSOR PERFORMANCE SYSTEM. THE BRAKE STARTED WITH CABLE NOT RELEASING WITH THE BRAKES ARE APPLIED CAUSING A RUBBING NOISE WHICH AVIS FORD STILL CLAIMING THEY CAN'T SEE OR HEAR ANYTHING, NEXT, THE ROOF LEAK AND REPLACING OF THE NOISY AIR CONDITION SYSTEM THAT WAS REPLACE AND STILL HAS SOME KNOCKING WHEN THE SYSTEM IS TURNED ON. THIRD THE CAR WAS REQUIRED BY THE DEALER TO GO THROUGH A COMPUTER UPGRADE WITH HAS CAUSE THE CAR TO HAVE PERFORMANCE ISSUES. MY CAR IS AT THE DEALERSHIP TODAY FOR NOT EXECELLARATING. I WAS DRIVING ON SATURDAY WITH MY TWO GRANDCHILDREN UNDER 4 YEARS OLD AND MY CAR STOP WORKING, LEAVING ME STRANDED WITH THE CHILDREN. THE RPM LOST POWER AND THE CAR WOULD NOT DRIVE, ALTHOUGH THE GEARS WERE WORKING. I HAVE ALWAYS BEEN A FORD OWNER, BUT WITH THE MULTIPLE ISSUES I HAVE HAD WITH MY TAURUS, MY DESIRE IS TO GO WITH ANOTHER COMPANY AND BID FORD FAREWELL FOREVER. EACH TIME I TAKE MY CAR BACK TO THE DEALERSHIP THEY CONTINUE TO TELL ME THAT THE ISSUES ARE NORMAL WEAR FOR THE 2010 TAURUS WITH THE MILEAGE OF 88000 MILES. I HAVE BEEN HAVING ISSUES WITH MY CAR SINCE BEFORE 36000 MILES AND THE ISSUES KEEP ADDING. FORD MOTOR COMPANY SHOULD BE RESPONSIBLE FOR THE PRODUCTS THEY DESIGN AND PUT ON THE ROAD. I HAVE SEEN OTHER TAURUS CAR THAT HAVE NOT HAD HALF THE ISSUES MY CAR HAS EXPERIENCED OVER THE PAST 5 YEARS. FORD NEEDS TO BUY MY CAR BACK AND REPLACE IT WITH A MORE RELIABLE VEHICLE THAT DOES NOT HAVE A MILLION ISSUES. MY CAR HAS REGULAR SCHEDULED MAINTENANCE AND STILL HAS ISSUE AFTER ISSUE, THAT AVIS WILL NOT RESUME THE RESPONSIBILITY TO JUST CREATING A BAD VEHICLE. THIS IS MY LAST FORD CAR, I WILL BY ELSEWHERE MOVING FORWARD. I AM A DISAPPOINTED FORD CUSTOMER, AND I AM NOT HAPPY WITH FORD SERVICE.

WHILE DRIVING ON THE EXPRESSWAY NEAR DEARBORN, MI, MY 2010 FORD TAURUS BEGAN TO INCREASE IN SPEED ON ITS ON. THE LAST TIME I LOOKED AT IT BEFORE I CRASHED, THE ODOMETER WAS AT ABOUT 80 MILES PER HOUR. I COULD NOT STOP THE CAR BY PRESSING ON THE BRAKES. I WAS GETTING CLOSE TO OTHER CARES, SO I TURNED TO THE RIGHT TO AVOID A COLLISION WITH ANOTHER CAR, SO I HIT THE GUARD RAIL AND THE CAR ROLLED OVER. THANKFULLY, I WAS NOT HURT AND NO ONE ELSE WAS EITHER. MY CAR, OF COURSE, WAS TOTALLED AND BASED ON MICHIGAN LAW, I ALSO RECEIVED A TICKET.

ACCELERATION STALLS FROM 0-5 MPH THEN IS FOLLOWED BY A HARSH BUMP ON TAKE-OFF THIS CAR IS VERY DANGEROUS IT WILL STALL UPON DOWN SHIFTING WHILE MERGING INTO TRAFFIC FOR AS LONG AS 6 SECONDS. THIS CAUSES TRAFFIC BEHIND ME TO TAKE AVOIDANCE MANEUVERS. WHEN PASSING IT WILL DO THE SAME THING TAKING 3 TO 6 SECONDS TO START ACCELERATING. WHEN I PULL OUT TO PASS IT FALLS BACK A FULL CAR LENGTH BEFORE IT MAKES UP ITS MIND TO ACCELERATE. VERY DANGEROUS, IT WILL DO THIS AT 30 MPH THROUGH 70 MPH. *TR
