| Model year | COMPONENT | Complaint |
| 2004 | VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL | TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2004 FORD TAURUS. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING AT VARIOUS SPEEDS, THE VEHICLE ACCELERATED WITHOUT MANUAL FORCE ON SEVERAL OCCASIONS. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED AND THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE ISSUE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS UNKNOWN. |
| 2003 | ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING:COOLING SYSTEM:FAN | HAVE A 2003 FORD TAURUS SES; 80K MILES. INITIALLY, MY FAN ONLY WORKED ON HIGH. I JUST DEALT W/ IT, NO BIG DEAL, BUT EVENTUALLY, MY ALTERNATOR WENT OUT... SO AFTER I CHANGED THAT, MY FAN NO LONGER WORKS AT ALL. I HAVE TO REPLACE THE BLOWER MOTOR & THE RESISTOR FOR IT. IN THE MEAN TIME, DUE TO THE FAN NOT WORKING, I ALMOST WAS IN AN ACCIDENT DUE TO THE DEFROST NOT BEING ABLE TO DO IT'S JOB, AND BECAUSE THERE WAS NO HEAT, I GOT A COLD AND MISSED SOME WORK. I AM FILING THIS COMPLAINT DUE TO THE NUMBER OF PEOPLE I HAVE FOUND THAT HAVE HAD THE SAME PROBLEM W/ THEIR FORD TAURUS. THIS SEEMS TO BE A RECURRING PROBLEM, IF THAT'S THE CASE, THERE SHOULD BE A RECALL ON THE PART FOR A RESOLUTION. BAD CHOICE ON FORDS PART. NEXT TIME, I'LL BUY HONDA. *TR |
