2010 Ford Taurus

02/09/2016. I WAS STATIONARY AT A STOP LIGHT. I LOST ALL ELECTRICAL POWER.I LOST ALL POWER STEERING FUNCTIONS. THE DASHBOARD MESSAGE SAID TO PUT THE TRANSMISSION IN PARK. THESE INSTRUCTIONS WOULD HAVE IMMEDIATELY DAMAGED THE TRANSMISSION. YOU CAN RESTART THE PUSH BUTTON START IN NEUTRAL ONLY BY USING THE BRAKE PEDAL FIRST. HAD I BEEN IN ANY TYPE OF TRAFFIC, A REAR END COLLISION COULD HAVE OCCURRED. THE CAR WAS INSPECTED AT A FORD DEALER TODAY ( 02/11/2016). THE REMEDY WAS TO CHANGE A RFA MODULE RELATED TO THE KEY FOBS. THE THEORY IS THIS : NO KEY RECOGNITION MEANS THE COMPUTER IS TELLING THE CAR TO SHUT DOWN. THE FORD DEALER CAN'T EXPLAIN WHILE THE PROBLEM IS INTERMITTENT : ( I DRIVE WITH THE SAME KEY FOBS AT ALL TIMES). THIS IS PROBABLY NOT THE SOLUTION. THIS IS THE SECOND REPORT FILED ON THE SAME VEHICLE. THE DATE OF LAST REPORT WAS 07/31/2011. NHTSA ID NUMBER 10416408. THE SOLUTION LAST TIME WAS REPLACEMENT OF THE THROTTLE BODY ASSEMBLY. IT IS PRETTY OBVIOUS THE SOLUTIONS DO NOT MATCH. SO BASICALLY, FORD HAS NO ANSWER.

OIL IN PTU UNIT ON AWD 2010 FORD TAURUS SHO VEHICLE GETS OVERWORKED AND OVER EXPANDS AND LEAKS OUT OF THE TOP OF THE VENT CAP. THE OIL DRIPS DOWN ONTO THE EXHAUST AND BURNS OFF. THE BURNING OIL FUMES ARE THEN SUCKED INTO THE CABIN VIA THE HVAC SYSTEM. THE ONLY WAY TO KEEP THE FUMES FROM ENTERING THE VEHICLE CABIN IS TO HAVE THE HVAC ON RECIRCULATE. FORD CLAIMS THAT THE PTU HAS A LIFETIME OIL IN IT AND THAT IT SHOULD ONLY BE REPLACED IF CONTAMINATED. MANY CONSUMERS ARE REPORTING THAT THEY ARE PUMPING THE OIL OUT AND REPLACING IT WITH FRESH OIL IN 25K TO 35K INTERVALS. MY VEHICLE HAS 100,000 MILES ON IT AND 1 PTU WAS REPLACED UNDER WARRANTY FOR THIS ISSUE AND THE REPLACEMENT PTU IS EXHIBITING THE SAME ISSUES AS BEFORE WHEN THE 1ST PTU FAILED. THE INHALATION HAZARD OF BURNING OIL FUMES NEEDS TO BE ADDRESSED BY THE MANUFACTURER AS IT POSES A SERIOUS HEALTH RISK TO OCCUPANTS IN THE VEHICLE.

I BOUGHT THIS CAR USED BUT AFTER RESEARHING THE VIN I FOUND THAT THE PREVIOUS OWNER HAD THE SAME ISSUES I AM HAVING. THE CAR WHILE DRIVING WILL LOSE POWER AND THE TACH WILL SHOW A RPM DROP IN SOME CASES OF ALMOST 1000 RPM. THE CAR WILL LOSE POWER AND AT TIMES AND THE TACH WILL SHOW THE RPM JUMPING ALL OVER THE PLACE LIKE THE COMPUTER DOESN'T KNOW WHAT TO DO. ONCE I TAKE MY FOOT OFF THE ACCELERATOR AND PUT IT BACK THE CAR WILL START TO ACT OK BUT AT TIMES I WILL HEAR A CLUNK FROM THE UNDER THE CAR, THE TRANSMISSION GOING INTO GEAR. THESE ISSUES OCCUR AT VARIOUS SPEEDS, FROM CITY DRIVING TO HIGHWAY. FORD DOESN'T SEEM TO BE ABLE TO FIX THIS AS WELL AS CARMAX.

ON OR AROUND 10/14/2014 MY FORD TAURUS SHO 2010 SUDDENLY LOST POWER AND STARTED TO SHAKE AND MISSFIRE. HAD IT TOWED TO FORD GRIFFIN. THEY STATED IT WAS A BAD INJECTOR. ON OR AROUND 4/27/2015 HEADING HOME FROM WORK I PULLED OFF THE FREEWAY ON TO HWY 164 IN HEAVY TRAFFIC THE CAR SUDDENLY LOST POWER AND STARTED TO SHAKE AND MISSFIRE ALMOST CAUSING ME TO GET HIT FROM THE CARS BEHIND ME, LUCKILY THEY SWERVED ON TO SHOULDER TO AVOID HITTING ME. HAD THE CAR TOWED TO GRIFFIN FORD. AGAIN IT WAS A BAD INJECTOR, CYLINDER #6 THE FIRST TIME NOW #4. THEN ON OR AROUND 8/15/2015 COMING HOME FROM THE STORE THE CAR SUDDENLY LOST POWER, STARTED SHAKING AND MISSFIRE. HAD THE CAR TOWED TO GRIFFIN AGAIN. IT WAS ANOTHER BAD INJECTOR #2 CYLINDER. THEY SAID THEY COULDN'T FIX IT UNTIL THEY FOUND THE CAUSE. THEY LOOKED IN THE GAS TANK FOR CONTAMINANTS AND FOUND NOTHING. THEN TESTED FOR ALCOHOL LEVELS IN GAS FOUND NOTHING RAN SOME OTHER TEST FOUND NOTHING. FINALLY JUST FIXED IT. SO WHATS GOING ON? I'M SOMEWHAT AFRAID OF DRIVING THE CAR FOR FEAR OF CAUSING A ACCIDENT. IT'S MY ONLY CAR SO I GUESS I HAVE NO CHOICE.

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.

OPENED MY SUNROOF AND IT BROKE. IT GOT STUCK OPEN AND WE HAD TO TAKE IT APART TO GET IT CLOSED. NOW I HAVE TO PAY TO GET IT FIXED WHEN IT WAS PLASTIC PIECES THAT BROKE. HAD A STORM COME THROUGH AND THE INSIDE OF MY CAR WAS FLOODED. I HAVE RECORD OF EVERYTHING. SEEMS THAT IF WATER GETS ON THE ELECTRICAL PARTS IT WILL START SHORTING EVERYTHING OUT CAUSING THE CAR TO CATCH FIRE.
