Taurus 6-cyl

  • 107,000 miles
My 2005 Ford Taurus accelerates on its own every so often. When it accelerates, I try to brake, but the car vibrates very badly and does not want to slow down. When I do get it slowed down enough, I pull into a parking lot. I put it in park and the RPM's jump to 4 or over. I floor the gas a couple times. This seems to correct the problem, but it keeps happening every couple months for about the last year.

Taurus

  • miles
Power transmission problem with my 2005 Ford Taurus, and my air conditioning unit which has not worked since March of 2008. I contracted Ford main office in dearborn mi. About the problem with no effort to help. At the time of the initial problem I had 68,000 miles on the car which I bought from a dealership in March of 2008. I am really disappointed in Ford and will never buy another car from them again. I have spent over $2000 on powertrans problems which started in July of 2008. My car stayed in the powertrans shop from July-Dec of 2008 and because I had no more money to invest in this car I have not been able to use my air conditioning since owning the car. I hate summer driving for that reason. Please review and note my complaint. If there is anything I can do to get my air conditioned fixed please let me know.

Taurus 6-cyl

  • Automatic transmission
  • 20,000 miles
We bought an 05 Ford Taurus in June of 05. The car has a poor ventilation system. You have to turn the control panel knob to max A/C to cut outside air from getting into the car. Otherwise if want heat or A/C you have to breathe polluted air into the cabin of the car. This a health hazard and design flaw in this vehicle. Their have been no accidents, deaths, crashes, fires, property damage, but possible health problems from breathing in outside vehicle exhaust which I think is very hazardous and should be addressed by Ford and it's design team. Please do something to make this company responsible to their customer's.
