I've had this car for 2 months already. I pulled out of my house, drove thru my street and when I came to a stop in a intersection my car stopped completely and the wheel became hard and was not able to turn it or press on the gas pedal. The engine light, electronic stability control active light and battery alert light came on at the same time. Also it alerted me I was low on gas witch I had half a tank of gas.
Had throttle related issues that were supposedly "repaired" at the dealer which are still present. The vehicle accelerates by itself and shows a wrench icon on the dashboard with a check engine light on. If the vehicle is put on drive it moves by itself as if one were pressing on the gas pedal. This is a possible safety issue that could possible kill someone or even get me killed while driving the vehicle (which I don't). Right now it's at the dealer and had to be towed away since the vehicle couldn't be moved.
Rear view camera stopped working a short time ago. Car was completely inspected and I was told that the repair would cost $1136 ! car has very low mileage, no accidents, garage stored etc. I find it hard to believe such an expense on the car. How often will this become a problem" will I need to come up with $1100 or more on a regular basis every few years for such repairs ? is Ford aware of this problem with other cars and have made arrangements to assist in cost of repairs"
Hello good morning I have a 2011 Ford Taurus sel and while going up a hill my car shut off while my keys were still in the ignition. My steering locked, check engine and low oil lights went on. The only thing I could do was apply brakes to the car and place it in park. I shut off the car and opened the hood to see if anything looked out of place. I checked my engine oil levels and that seemed fine. I closed the hood and turned the car back on. No check engine light or low oil? I haven't had a problem since but it seemed like an extremely dangerous situation. I see there are several complaints about the same issue.
