My vehicle suddenly ran hot while driving on the interstate at approximately 65 mph. I immediately pulled off as my exit was approaching and within 1/2 found a safe place to park. The engine had steam coming from the radiator. After calling aaa for a tow, it was towed to the local aaa and then to the classic Ford dealership. As the car arrived on a Friday, Ford did not check it until the following Tuesday. I received a quote from Ford that it needed an entirely new engine, timing belt and water pump for $7, 400.00! calls to the corporate Ford did no good as they said there was nothing that Ford could do but to keep my receipts in case a recall was ever announced. I called another mechanic that I had used in the past and he was able to fix the engine for $1800. The mechanic said that the engine design was faulty and that if it ever ran hot again, it would do the same damage because of the design.

This is the twin turbo V6 ecoboost engine. This vehicle has had several transmission issues dating back to August 2011. First issue: Car stumbled upon accelerating from a dead stop. Particularly unsafe when turning into traffic. One potentially serious event was a right turn I made from a stop light and the car came to a crawl. After having the car for more than a week, Ford "fixed" the problem but it recurred a month later. Next incident(s): Transmission lunges and came out of gear and revved up. Again, Ford had the car for about 10 days. That was September 2011. October 18, 2011: Car lost power on freeway and ran very rough. Car towed into Ford. The had to replace coils, plugs, and PCM. 9/14/2012: Sunroof failed and would not close. Problem fixed under warranty. 8/16/2013: Delivered the car to Ford because the transmission acting up once again. This time when I press the accelerator the car stalls very briefly but then catches and accelerates forward quickly. This is a liability concern. On the freeway, when I press the gas to accelerate to pass a car, the car coasts before catching. Ford still has the vehicle and is telling me that they don't see an issue with their drive tests but have a call into Ford to see how to proceed. I'm very concerned.

The car has the cap les fuel filler system, when I fill the car, it leaks gas on the ground behind the rear tire, each time the pump shuts off. It does this at every station I fill up at. If I try to top off the tank it makes a very large puddle. The dealer I purchased the car from has not fixed this complaint and will not document my complaint.

I had to replace throttle body assembly on my 2010 Taurus limited. It only had 28000 miles at time of occurrence. I can't believe there is no recall on this, as Ford has had several problems with throttle body assembly.
