Once while stopped on the interstate due to construction the engine just quit. It started right up so yeah and I wrote it off the heat (hot day). The several months later it did it again at a stop light. Started right up but wife was unhappy so took it to the local Ford dealer. They replaced some vacuum hoses and the starter and blessed it as fixed. Wife drove it to the first stop light and it quit again. Turned around and took it back to the dealer. Mechanic and wife drove around for about 45 minutes and couldn't duplicate the problem. So we went home. 3 weeks later it did the same thing while making a very slow right hand turn. Took it back to the dealer and after four days in to shop they could not duplicate the problem. To their credit they didn't just throw parts at the problem and didn't charge us for the troubleshooting time. Right now it works but only time will tell.

Update from Jun 10, 2019: The drive selector linkage bushing, E0SZ-7341-B, had disintegrated. Replaced the bushing...problem solved

The first time it happened was 11/26/2013, it would just stop running and I could get it started again. It happen several times before I could get it to the garage. I was headed to St. Louis. if I had been on that busy highway going into Barns Hospital, I wouldn't be setting her typing this complaint. That is not the only time, it happened again 02/03/2016. I almost got hit in the rear end. I had to have it towed to garage. I was 25 miles away from home. Now it happened again 12/27/2016. I was 22 miles away form home, had to be towed in again today.

I hate this car now. I can't trust it to get me to a Dr office or any where else. I sure wish my income was enough so I could get rid of it, but it's not. I can't even afford to buy what I really need or afford food to eat.

First time it happen I was driving on the freeway my car all of a sudden stop and everything cut off,then it started right back up didn't know what happen for it to do that. So maybe a month ago I was driving and it cut off while I was driving again, and it started right back up so I brought it to the shop, the guy checked my battery and also put it on a machine and said he couldn't find a problem he didn't know what the cause was so if anybody can give me any suggestion are answers I will greatly appreciated it.....

Back in December Ford said the Fuel pump went out. We had it replaced. a week later the check engine light came on and they found that when installing the fuel pump they laid a wire against something they shouldn't, they fixed it. fast forward to April and the car broke down again, and again they said it was the fuel pump. Replaced it for free and sent me on my way. In May we moved from Nebraska to SC. we got to town and the next day it broke down again. (THANK GOD it didn't break down on the 1300 mile trip). The new Ford dealership looked and said it was the processor and it was talking to the fuel pump. So they replaced the processor under warranty. Now a week later, the car did it again. This time though we waited a few minutes and the car started back up and got us home. Now I am afraid to drive it. Not 1 or 3 ford dealerships have fixed this problem.

Our Taurus will stall in the middle of driving it. I'm not sure if stall is even the right word. It seems as if the car is fine, and then all of a sudden the engine is off. Everything else is still on, radio, etc., but you'll go to push the gas and there is no power. It does not give any warning and can be quite dangerous. It has done this to us on a major Interstate Highway. The dealership seems to think it's no big deal. It is. If we had not been able to safely get the car restarted quickly, we could've been smashed from behind. Super scary.
