2013 Ford Taurus

WHILE DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD, TURNING OR LEAVING STOP SIGN OR LIGHT, IT WILL DROP IN SPEED AND WILL NOT ACCELERATE WHEN ON THE GAS PEDAL. THE WRENCH LIGHT WILL COMES ON. I HAVE HAD TO TRY AND COAST OUT OF TRAFFIC TO SIDE OF ROAD OR IN THE MIDDLE LANE OR WHERE EVER I CAN. I HAVE HAD TO TURN THE CAR OFF AND RESTART ONLY TO HAVE IT DO IT AGAIN AND AGAIN. WHEN TURNING THE IGNITION SWITCH IT SOMETIMES WILL DRAG LIKE IT DOESN'T WANT TO START. THIS IS VERY DANGEROUS WHEN DRIVING BECAUSE PEOPLE WILL NOT KNOW THAT YOUR CAR IS NOT AT A STEADY SPEED AND IS SLOWING DOWN OR CAN'T TAKE OFF. TOOK IT TO THE SHOP AND BECAUSE IT IS NOT DOING IT OR THE WRENCH SYMBOL IS NO LONGER THERE AFTER U RESTART THE CAR, THEY CAN'T GET A CODE. I'M REALLY FRUSTRATED. THIS IS MY ONLY MEANS OF TRANSPORTATION.

THE ELECTRONIC THROTTLE BODY READS THAT THE ACTUATOR IS STUCK OPEN. THIS CAUSES MY CAR TO STALL IN UNPREDICTABLE AND UNSAFE SCENARIOS. MY CAR WILL STILL MOVE WHEN THIS HAPPENS BUT ONLY AT REALLY LOW SPEEDS. ONE TIME THE CAR SLOWED DOWN AND WOULD NOT LET ME GO ABOVE TWENTY MILES PER HOUR AND I WAS ON THE EXPRESSWAY WITH A SPEED LIMIT OF 65 MILES PER HOUR. IT DOES IT OUT OF NOWHERE AND IS PUTTING ME IN THE POSITION TO GET REAR-ENDED. I HAVE TO NOW PAY 300 TO BUY A NEW PIECE TO RESOLVE THIS PROBLEM WHEN IN FACT THIS VEHICLE SHOULD HAVE BEEN RECALLED LIKE THE FORD ESCAPE AND THE FORD FUSION BECAUSE IT IS THE EXACT SAME ISSUE. THIS ISSUE HAS MY LIFE AND MY CHILDREN'S LIVES ON THE LINE EVERY TIME WE GET IN THIS CAR. THIS ISSUE HAPPENS ANYWHERE. IT HAPPENS FREQUENTLY ON CITY STREETS WHERE I WOULD BE GOING 30 MILES PER HOUR AND IT REDUCES MY SPEED TO LIKE TEN MILES PER HOUR AND WONT LET ME ACCELERATE. I HAVE TO SHUT THE ENGINE OFF AND RESTART THE CAR. I HAVE HAD TO PULL OVER INTO PARKING LANES AND GAS STATIONS IN ORDER TO GET OUT OF TRAFFIC FLOW TO SAFELY SHUT MY ENGINE OFF AND RESTART THE CAR. IT HAS DONE THIS TWICE ON THE EXPRESSWAY WHERE IT REDUCED MY SPEED FROM 65 TO 40 MPH AND CONTINUED TO DECREASE IN SPEED. ONE OF THOSE TIMES I WAS NOT BY A SHOULDER AT ALL AND THERE WAS VERY HEAVY TRAFFIC FLOW. I FINALLY WAS ABLE TO PULL INTO THE YELLOW LINES WHERE CARS ARE NOT SUPPOSED TO BE THAT ARE BETWEEN THE LANES WHERE YOU MERGE FROM ONE EXPRESSWAY TO ANOTHER. AND THAT TIME I WAS A SITTING DUCK BETWEEN LANES OF TRAFFIC WITH MY EMERGENCIES ON BECAUSE I WASNT ABLE TO SHUT THE CAR OFF RIGHT AWAY DUE TO MY LANE PLACEMENT ON THE EXPRESSWAY. SO THE CAR WAS SHAKING.

MY FIRST EXPERIENCE WITH THIS PROBLEM WAS DRIVING 40 MPH ON A LOCAL STREET, VERY BUSY, LOTS OF TRAFFIC. THE ENGINE SPUTTERED MADE A WEIRD NOSE, LOST POWER TOTALLY, I WAS BARELY ABLE TO GET INTO A PARKING LOT OUT OF THE WAY. VERY SCARY, SINCE I HAD NO IDEA WHAT WAS HAPPENING. THE WRENCH INDICATOR LIGHT CAME ONE. I HAD THE CAR TOWED TO THE LOCAL DEALERSHIP. THE LOCAL FORD DEALERSHIP "UPDATED" THE SOFTWARE BEFORE CHECKING FOR THE DEFAULT CODE THAT WOULD SHOW. THEY SAID THERE WAS NOTHING WRONG AND SENT ME ON MY WAY. THEN IT HAPPENED SEVERAL TIMES AGAIN BOTH ON A MAJOR THOROUGHFARE AND ON THE HIGHWAY. ANOTHER INSTANCE WAS WHILE DRIVING AT 70 MPH ON THE FREEWAY IN TRAFFIC THE ENGINE STALLS LEAVING ME WITH NO POWER TO CONTROL MY SPEED. AS MY CAR QUICKLY REDUCES SPEED ON A MAJOR FREEWAY I ATTEMPT TO GET OVER TO THE SHOULDER OUT OF HARMS WAY. FORD CALLS THIS NON LIFE THREATENING BECAUSE THE CAR IS STILL CONTROLLABLE TO GET OUT OF HARM'S WAY. WHAT IS WRONG WITH THEM, REALLY. VERY DANGEROUS. CAR IS AT THE DEALERSHIP NOW AND SAID IT WOULD BE AT LEAST 3 WEEKS TO GET THE PART. WHICH HAS LEFT ME STRANDED WITHOUT A DEPENDABLE VEHICLE TO DRIVE TO WORK. FORD NEEDS TO GET IT TOGETHER.

MY TAURUS SYMPTOMS ARE, LOSE OF POWER IN LOWER GEARS(1,2,3). WHEN ACCELERATING FROM A STAND STILL, THE CAR HESITATES. AND NOW THE CAR HAS A CRANK NO START ISSUE AND I SMELL FUEL. MY MY TOUCH IS A LITTLE SLOW BUT MY REVERSE CAM IS UPSIDE DOWN AND SOME TIMES DOESN'T SHOW A VIEW AT ALL. OTHER THEN THAT, MY TAURUS HAS BEEN GREAT AND RELIABLE. I HOPE FORD FINDS AWAY TO ADDRESS THESE ISSUES BEFORE THEY LOSE A LOYAL COSTUMER

GO`S TO A VERY ROUGH IDLE. THIS HAS HAPPEN FOUR TIMES THE LAST BEING 8/19/2015. I HAVE A ENGINE ANALYZER THAT HAS CODE P2111 WHICH IS THROTTLE BODY TROUBLE. I HAVE IT AT A FORD DEALER NOW AND THEY ARE TELLING ME THEY CAN NOT DO ANYTHING AS THERE ANALYZER IS NOT GIVING THEM A CODE. THIS IS A VERY DANGEROUS CONDITION AS IT WILL JUST GO TO A IDEAL AT ANY SPEED. AS TRYING TO MAKE A LEFT TURN OR CROSSING A BUSY ROAD. I TOOK THEM MY PRINT OUT FROM MY ANALYZER. BUT ALL I GET IS SONG AND DANCE THAT THEY CAN`T DO ANYTHING TILL THEY GET A CODE. IT HAS A EXTENDED WARRANTY AND THEY DON`T WANT TO DO IT. THERE FIRST ANSWER WAS DRIVE IT TILL IT HAPPEN AGAIN. MY ANSWER WAS NEXT TIME COULD GET YOU KILLED IN THE RIGHT PLACE. I TOLD THEM TO KEEP IT AND WHEN THEY FIX IT LET ME KNOW. THEY FIRST TOLD ME THE COMPUTER JUST NEEDED UP DATING AND I TOLD THEM THAT WAS BS WHICH IT IS. IT IS A SOFT CODE THAT WILL RESET IT`S SELF. THE CAR IS LOCATED AT ( MULLINAX FORD ) IN NEW SMYRNA BEACH.FL 32168 PHONE386-428-9094 EXT 2336 SERVICE REP ( BRITTANY FINCH ) MY CELL PHONE IS 386-690-1065

HERE IS THE HISTORY OF THE CAR THAT I CAN PROVIDE IT HAS HAD 3 FUEL SYSTEM RELAYS REPLACED SINCE FRIDAY. 2 IN THE LAST 3 DAYS 2 DIFFERENT FORD DEALERS. THE CAR DOES NOT TURN ON WHEN TURNED OFF WITH NO WARNING. THE CAR HAS HAD A FUEL MODULATOR AND OVER 5 RELAY SWITCHES REPLACED IN LESS THAN A YEAR. THE DEALER IS REPLACING THE SWITCH WITHOUT DIAGNOSING THE ISSUE BEHIND THE SWITCH FAILING. IT HAS LEFT ME STRANDED 3 TIMES SINCE LAST THURSDAY. IT IS NOT BEHIND ON ANY SERVICE AND I TAKE IT TO A FORD DEALER TO BE REPAIRED. I THINK EMKAY NEEDS TO REVIEW THE REPAIRS ON THIS CAR AND ASK THE DEALER TO DIAGNOSIS THE CAUSE OF THESE FAILURES. 2013 FORD TAURUS 67000 MILES.
