2015 Ford Taurus

WHILE I WAS MERGING INTO TRAFFIC ONTO AN INTERSTATE, DURING RUSH HOUR, THE CAR QUIT ACCELERATING. SUDDENLY, THERE WAS NO ABILITY TO CONTROL ENGINE SPEED. AS I GLANCED AT THE DASH I NOTICED THE WRENCH WARNING LIGHT AND IT SAID SEE MANUAL. I WAS ALMOST SIDE SWIPED BY ANOTHER VEHICLE BUT WAS ABLE AVOID THE CAR AND WAS ABLE TO COAST TO A STOP ON THE SIDE OF THE INTERSTATE. WHEN I PRESSED THE BUTTON, THE CAR SHUT OFF AND WHEN I DEPRESSED IT AGAIN, THE CAR STARTED. I WAS ABLE TO MERGE INTO TRAFFIC AND HEAD HOME. ONE THE WAY HOME, ON THE INTERSTATE, THE SAME VEHICLE MALFUNCTION OCCURRED AGAIN. THERE WAS A CAR BEHIND ME BUT I QUICKLY TURNED MY FLASHERS ON AND WAS ABLE TO COAST TO THE SIDE OF HE INTERSTATE. I TOOK THE CAR TO THE DEALERSHIP TO HAVE IT LOOKED AT AND AT THIS TIME THEY HAVE NOT BEEN ABLE TO ISOLATE THE PROBLEM. HARD TO TRUST THE SAFETY & RELIABILITY OF THE VEHICLE WHEN THE AUTHORIZED SERVICE PROFESSIONALS CAN'T FIND THE PROBLEM. ADDITIONALLY, THEY SAID THE COMPUTER DID NOT STORE ALL OF THE CODES AND ALL THEY HAD WAS A PCM COMMUNICATION ERROR CODE. THIS IS A SERIOUS SAFETY ISSUE, PARTICULARLY IF IT REQUIRES FREQUENT DRIVING IN HEAVILY CONGESTED TRAFFIC, AND IF YOU ARE TRAVELING AT HIGHER SPEEDS ON THE INTERSTATE.

DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY AT 70 MPH EXPERIENCED SUDDEN LOSS OF ENGINE POWER- NO LIMP HOME MODE JUST LOSS OF ACCELERATION - COASTED TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD. AFTER TURNING CAR OFF AND BACK ON WAS ABLE TO CONTINUE DRIVING. ONLY ERROR SHOWN WAS SEE MANUAL. FAILED THREE MORE TIMES BEFORE I COULD GET OFF THE ROAD - KNOWN PROBLEM WITH THROTTLE BODY - EXTREMELY DANGEROUS SITUATION AS YOU CAN CAN HAVE DIFFICULTY GETTING OFF THE ROAD CROSSING SEVERAL LANES. THIS SHOULD BE A MAJOR RECALL. IF YOU ARE NOT ABLE TO GET OFF THE ROAD IN TIME YOU WILL MOST LIKELY EXPERIENCE BEING REAR ENDED ON THE HIGHWAY. AS I RESEARCHED THIS THIS HAS BEEN HAPPENING FOR YEARS AND IS STILL NOT FIXED - WHY IS THE NHSTB NOT TAKING THIS MORE SERIOUSLY.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2015 FORD TAURUS. WHILE THE VEHICLE WAS PARKED, THE CONTACT HEARD A LOUD NOISE AND THE AIR BAG DEPLOYED WITHOUT WARNING. THE VEHICLE ACCELERATED FORWARD AND CRASHED INTO A TREE. THERE WERE NO INJURIES AND A POLICE REPORT WAS NOT FILED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE FORD DEALER, BUT WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 23,000.

PASSENGER SEAT OVERHEATED CAUSING THIRD DEGREE BURNS ON MY WIVES BUTTOCKS. THIS WAS THE FIRST TIME THIS SEAT HEATER WAS USED. IT OCCURRED QUITE RAPIDLY. SUBSEQUENT TESTING REVEALED TEMPERATURE WENT TO 126 DEGREES IN LESS THAN 4 MINUTES, TEST WAS STOPPED AT THAT POINT FOR FEAR OF A FIRE OCCURRING. WE HAVE PICTURES WHICH CAN BE USED IF NECESSARY.

I PURCHASED A 2015 FORD TAURUS IN JULY OF 2015 BRAND NEW ONLY 3 MILE ON THE VEHICLE. I NOTICE THAT AFTER THE FIRST OIL CHANGE AND TIRE ROTATION I NOTICED SOMETHING DIFFERENT ABOUT THE FRONT PASSENGER SIDE WHEEL. ON THE SECOND MAINTENANCE VISIT I ADVISE THE INTAKE PERSON THAT THE FRONT PASSENGER WHEEL SOUND LIKE SOMETHING WAS LOSS. AFTER THE SERVICE I WAS GIVEN THE PAPERWORK THAT STATED EVERY THING WAS FINE. WELL ON 3/14/2016 WHILE DRIVING DOWN THE SMOOTHLY PAVED BUSY STREET THE STEERING WHEEL BEGAN TO SHAKE FOLLOWED BY A LOUD THUMP AND NEXT THING YOU KNOW THE CAR HAD FLIPPED ACROSS THREE LANES AND LANDED UP SIDE DOWN. I CALLED FORD DEALERSHIP I PURCHASE THE CAR FROM AND WAS TOLD BY ONE OF THE SALESMEN AFTER TELLING HIM WHAT HAPPEN THAT, "THAT WAS A DEFECT" AND I NEED TO GET A LAWYER. ALL I WANT IS THE SOMEONE FROM FORD MOTOR THE INSPECT THE CAR. THE CRAZY PART IS THE AXLE, BRACKET, AND SUSPENSION ARE COVERED UNDER MY POWER TRAIN WARRANTY BUT BECAUSE MY CAR FLIPPED I WAS TOLD I HAD TO FILE A CLAIM WITH MY INSURANCE EVEN THOUGH THE THE FRONT AXLE, BRACKET AND WHEEL BROKE OFF THE CAR CAUSING IT TO FLIP. THE METAL FRAME EVEN BROKE, EVERYTHING WAS STILL ATTACKED TO FRONT PASSENGER WHEEL THAT BROKE OFF AND THE CAR WAS JUST DRIVING DOWN THE STREET NO BUMPS OR ANYTHING. NOW IF MY SO WOULD HAVE DIED AND WAS SEVERELY INJURED I GUESS THEN FORD MOTOR WOULD ISSUE A RECALL LIKE THEY DID FOR THE 2013 & 2014 FORD TAURUS WITH AXLE AND BRACKET DEFECTS.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2015 FORD TAURUS. A COUPLE OF DAYS AFTER PURCHASING THE VEHICLE, THE CONTACT WITNESSED MOISTURE IN THE HEADLAMPS. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE MOISTURE AND CONDENSATION IN THE HEADLAMPS WAS NORMAL. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 1,100.

I WAS FULLY STOPPED AND TURNING LEFT AT A STOP LIGHT ON A CITY STREET, THE LIGHT WAS GREEN, I WAITED FOR TRAFFIC TO CLEAR. DURING THE MIDDLE OF THE LEFT TURN, I LOST STEERING FUNCTION: WHILE I TRIED TO TURN LEFT, THE VEHICLE VEERED RIGHT. THE RIGHT WHEEL STRUCK THE CURB. THE VEHICLE WAS THEN TOWED TO A FORD DEALERSHIP. THE LOWER CONTROL ARM AND BALL JOINT TOTALLY SEPARATED. THE DEALER CLAIMS THIS HAPPENED DUE TO STRIKING THE CURB, BUT THIS IS NOT THE CASE, IT HAPPENED DURING THE LEFT TURN.

PARKING BREAK LIGHT CAME ON AND IT SAID THE PARKING BREAK WAS INGAGED I STOPED AND CHECKED THE RELEASE PEDAL AND IT WAS ALL THE WAY OUT ITURNED CAR OFF AND RESTARED IT THE LIGHT WENT OFF BUT WHEN I STARTED ON DOWN THE ROAD THE LIGHT CAME ON AGAIN SO I WENT BACK HOME AND CLLED SHTTENKIRK FORD AND WAS TOLD TO HAVE IT TOWED TO THEIR JASPER GA. SHOP. THEY PUT IT IN SERVICE SHOP AND CAME OUT AND SAID THERE WAS NOTHING WRONG SO I TOLD THEM TEY WERE WRONG SO THE PUT BACK IN AND THEN CAME OUT AND SAID THE ROTORS WERE UNEVEN THEY RESURFACED THEM AND SAID NOW THE BREAKS ARE OK. IDROVE THE CAR TO INDIANNA AND BACK HOMEAND THEBREAKS STARTED MAKING A SRUBBING NOISE I CALLED SHOTTENKIRK AND WENT BACK TO THEM ON 8- 5 2015 AND THEY SAID THE BREAKS WERE OK. BUT THE BREAKS WERE STILL MAKEING BAD NOISE AND GRABBING WHEN TRYING TO STOP. ON 8-20-2015 I WENT TO CHESTATEE FORD IN DAHLONEGA, GA. AND THEY SAID IT WAS MAKEING A NOISE BUT THEY COULD NOT GET TO IT UNTILL THE NEXT WEEK. IT IS 8-24 2015 AND I WILL HAVE TO HAVE IT TOWED TO AHESTATEE FORD BECAUSE I AM AFRAID TO DRIVE IT.
