2010 Ford Taurus

DURING ROUTINE CITY DRIVING, MODERATE BRAKING PRODUCES SIGNIFICANT GRINDING NOISE AND ASSOCIATED VIBRATION IN BRAKE PEDAL. BRAKING ACTION IS STILL GOOD, BUT NOISE PRODUCES A SIGNIFICANT DISTRACTION WHICH CREATES TENDENCY FOR THE DRIVER TO RELEASE BRAKE PRESSURE TO ELIMINATE THE NOISE. FAILURE SEEMS TO OCCUR DURING ALL TYPES OF WEATHER AND DRIVING CONDITIONS, BUT IS MOST OFTEN OBSERVED WHEN MOISTURE IS PRESENT EITHER IN HUMID WEATHER OR PRECIPITATION. DEALER CHECKED ROTORS AND PADS WITHIN TOLERANCES AND ALL CALIPERS APPEAR IN ORDER. DEALER CANNOT DIAGNOSE THE PROBLEM, BUT ADMITS OTHER DRIVERS HAVE REPORTED THE EXACT SAME ISSUE IN THE SAME MODEL YEAR AND TRIM. *TR

2010 FORD TAURUS SHO LOSES POWER AND REAR VIEW CAMERA ACTIVATES WHEN IN DRIVE. ALMOST CAUSED A COLLISION WHEN LOST POWER WHEN MAKING A TURN WITH ON COMING TRAFFIC COMING AT ME AT HIGH SPEED. THIS PROBLEM HAPPENS SPORADICALLY AND THE DEALER SAYS THEY COULD NOT DUPLICATE IT SO FORD WILL NOT AUTHORIZE ANY REPAIRS. I WAS TOLD TO BRING THE CAR BACK WHEN THE PROBLEM BECOMES CHRONIC. I CONSIDER THIS TO BE A SAFETY ISSUE AND REGISTERED A COMPLAINT WITH FORD. THEIR RESPONSE WAS THE SAME AS THE DEALER. *TR

2010 FORD TAURUS STALLS AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS (TRANSMISSION SEEMS TO SHIFT TO NEUTRAL) HAS OCCURRED THREE TIMES IN RUSH HOUR TRAFFIC, SOMEHOW HAVE NOT BEEN CRASHED INTO. FORD HAS REPLACED AT LEAST FOUR DIFFERENT PARTS, EACH TIME SAYING ITS FIXED, THEN IT HAPPENS AGAIN. LAST WEEK FOR THE THIRD TIME I WAS VERY NARROWLY MISSED BY A SEMI, THANK MY ANGEL FOR BEING ABLE TO COAST ENOUGH TO THE SHOULDER, I CRIED FOR HALF HOUR FROM THE PANIC. NEVER AGAIN WILL I DRIVE THIS CAR ON HIGHWAY NO MATTER HOW MANY PARTS THE CHANGE. FORD IS GIVING ME THE RUN AROUND NOW ON BUYING IT BACK - THEY SAY THEY HAVE HAD NO OTHER ISSUES SUCH AS THIS WITH THIS MODEL FALSE - I HAVE FOUND FIVE OTHERS ON INTERNET BLOGS WITH THE EXACT SAME ISSUE AND SAME RESULTS. THIS CAR IS A DEATH TRAP AND EVEN ENGINEERS FROM FORD HAVE BEEN HERE TO ASSESS WITH NO RESULTS. THEY SHOULD HAVE TO DRIVE THEIR NEW TECHNOLOGY FOR A YEAR BEFORE THEY PUT IT OUT TO CONSUMERS WHO MAY BE HARMED DUE TO THEIR NEGLIGENCE. *TR
