| 2009 | ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING | TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2009 FORD TAURUS. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING IN CRUISE CONTROL AT 40 MPH AND APPLYING THE BRAKES, THE VEHICLE WOULD SUDDENLY STALL. IN ORDER TO RESTART THE VEHICLE, HE WOULD HAVE TO SHIFT INTO NEUTRAL AND RESTART. THE VEHICLE WAS INSPECTED BY A DEALER AND THEY ADVISED HIM THAT IT MAY BE THE THROTTLE BODY AND THE MOTOR ASSEMBLY. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED FOR THE THROTTLE BODY AND THE MOTOR ASSEMBLY. A FEW WEEKS LATER, THE FAILURE RECURRED. THE VEHICLE WAS INSPECTED BY A DEALER A SECOND TIME AND THEY ADVISED HIM THAT THEY WOULD RECALIBRATE THE PCM BUT COULD NOT GUARANTEE THAT THE REPAIR WOULD FULLY REPAIR THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 1,000. UPDATED 07/20/11*LJ |
