The contact owns a 2011 Ford Taurus. When the vehicle accelerated forward and in reverse, a loud sound was heard coming from the front wheels. There were no warning indicators illuminated. The vehicle was taken to stuart powell Ford Lincoln Mazda, 225 S danville bypass, danville, ky 40422) where it was diagnosed that the power take off assembly failed. The vehicle was repaired. The manufacturer was notified and referred the contact to NHTSA. The failure mileage was 26,476.
The vehicle was in motion. I was headed South down a city street came up to my right turn onto another city street. After I made the turn when I tried to straighten the wheel out the right one cut straight to the right I was fighting the steering wheel but it would not let me turn it. This caused my car to turn into a parked car that was on a parking lot for sale and it ended up damaging 3 cars plus mine total. I did not receive a ticket because the officer stated that it was a malfunction on the car's steering. I just know that something caused the tire to turn and I could not turn it back. I don't want this to happen to anyone else cause it was scary scary. Thank you,
My 2011 Taurus sho has 20 inch rims and an all-wheel drive system, but only after 20,000 I have to change my tires because they wear off in the inside corners on all four tires. It is like if the wheels are slightly slanted andthey wear off only on that area. Ford has knowledge of this situation and have made me take the car for alignment, tire pressure and tire rotation every 3,000 miles, but this has not helped at all. The car has had 4 set of tires in the last 54,000 and they insist it is not caused because of car deffects. If I am not constantly checking the tires because I fear that I am going to get aflat or could explode in the middle of the highway and cause an accident. Pelase help me. I have tried everything possible with them and I am in the process of filing a complaint against them, but anything that you can do will be deeply appreciated.
