WHILE DRIVING MY DAUGHTER'S VEHICLE IT WILL RANDOMLY STALL OUT OR SHUT OFF. DASH LIGHTS COME ON, AND STEERING LOCKS UP. BOTH TIMES SHE WAS ABLE TO GET TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD. SHE RESTARTED THE CAR AND IT RAN AND DROVE NORMAL AGAIN. SHE TOOK IT TO A MECHANIC AND THEY CAN'T FIND THE PROBLEM. THIS HAS HAPPENED TO HER TWICE IN THE LAST TWO MONTHS. SHE HAS ONLY OWNED THE CAR FOR A LITTLE OVER TWO MONTHS. BOTH TIMES SHE WAS DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 45 MILES PER HOUR.

THE CAR HAS LOW MILES FOR THE YEAR 42K. THE TRANSMISSION HAS ALWAYS BEEN ERRATIC, HARD SHIFTING, HOLDING GEARS FOR TOO LONG. A NEW PROBLEM THAT IS HAPPENING, IN THE MORNING CAR CLUNKS EXTREMELY HARD INTO SECOND GEAR. I WENT TO ACCELERATE ONTO A BUSY ROAD AND THE TRANSMISSION BANGED SO HARD IT STARTLED US AND LOST POWER. THERE'S A SAFETY CONCERN WITH THIS BECAUSE IT LOST ALL POWER AND WE WERE ALMOST HIT BY AN APPROCHING CAR. AFTER DOING SEARCHES ON THE INTERNET, I FOUND THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM WITH A LOT OF FORD TAURUS MODEL. THE FORD COMPANY IS APPARENTLY AWARE OF THIS PROBLEM IN THEIR TRANSMISSIONS AND WON'T DO ANYTHING ABOUT IT. I PURCHASED THE CAR WITH 23K MILES ON IT. AS OF TODAY, WE ARE CONCERNED ABOUT OUR SAFETY IN TRAFFIC.

THE AC BLOWS HOT AIR ON THE DRIVER SIDE & COLD AIR ON THE PASSENGER SIDE.THE BLEND DOOR ACTUATOR IS BAD. IT'S VERY HARD TO GET TO AND VERY EXPENSIVE TO HAVE REPLACED. I HAVE SEEN OVER 100 COMPLAINTS ON MULTIPLE YEARS AND MODELS OF FORDS. ESPECIALLY TAURUS MODELS. PLEASE FORCE FORD TO FIX THEIR MISTAKES INSTEAD OF THE VEHICLE OWNERS PAYING UPWARDS OF 600 BUCKS TO HAVE IT DONE.

THE BRAKES WILL ACTIVATE BY THEMSELVES WITH NO FOOT ON BRAKE. WITH NO NOTICE IT WILL TURN INTO A FULL PANIC STOP. SIMPLY DRIVING AND ALL OF A SUDDEN THE BRAKES GO TO FULL LOCK. A VERY VERY DANGEROUS SITUATION. ONCE THE SPEED GETS BELOW A CERTAIN MILE PER HOUR IT CHANGES. IF ONE STOPS AND TURNS THE ENGINE OFF AND RESTARTS ITS FINE. THIS STARTED EARLY THIS YEAR AND NOW HAS BECOME MORE FREQUENT. THE LAST 2 TIMES CAR WAS DRIVEN THIS HAS HAPPENED. WHEN IT IS SCANNED ITS COMING UP WITH 2 U CODES P0100-20 AND P0121-20
