When brakes are applied front end begins to vibrate excessively. Also, steering column shakes. Rotors and pads have been replaced twice by dealer. Repairs did not work, owner had to go to an independent mechanic to fix problem.
While driving at 70mph going down a 5% grade, car will not hold in cruise control. Car goes from 70 mph to 85 mph within seconds on steep grade. Also, brakes are not strong enough to give good braking power. Taken to 2 dealers, and they said it was a characteristic of the Taurus.
We have had this vehicle for less than 2 months--it has been in the shop for all this time except about 2.5 weeks. The rear brakes are grinding and it sounds like metal on metal. The vehicle jerks very bad when going from park to drive which I feel could cause an accident. The car has less than 15000 miles on it and I don't feel like these problems should be occuring at this time. Our car has been in the shop 4 times in less than 2 months.
While driving the brake light came on, but the brakes were still workng. Shortly after the consumer tried to apply the brakes, and the pedal went all the way to the floor.please provide any futher information.
Consumer was driving vehicle when another vehicle jumped in front of her. Upon applying the brakes, she hit the car from behind, and airbags didn't deploy at all.

The vehicle in front stopped short. Had applied brakes quickly. ABS brakes locked up. Vehicle accelerated after the brakes were applied. Rearended vehicle. Upon impact, the air bags failed to deploy.
