My 2001 Taurus ses has had a hesitation when I engage from park to drive, after a second or two it finally engages into drive. Every dealership I spoke to stated they could not duplicate the concern. I have had it since 2001 and I still have this issue. I feel as if Ford hid something in this manufactured product and now I have a problem that no one can find.

The dealer ship will not help me and blames me for the problems with the car and Ford agrees with them I am getting no help and the car drive horrible for being a 2001. I have had nothing but problems since I purchased this vehicle and I beleive I have been mislead in purchasing this vehicle. No safety defect listed in summary.
