DURING THESE 3-4 REPAIR SHOPS CANNOT FIX THE CRUISE CONTROL TO GET THE CAR TO STOP DRIVING IT SELF WHEN ABOVE 30MPH ALONG WITH ACCELERATION, BACK TAIL LIGHT RIGHT SIDE SHORTS OUT CONTINUALLY. IT IS VERY DIFFICULT AND VERY UNSAFE TO CONTROL A VEHICLE THAT HAS HAD MORE THAN THREE OR FOUR REPAIR SHOPS TRY THEIR HARDEST TO FIX A PROBLEM THAT APPARENTLY HAS SOME OF THESE PROBLEMS. I AM WITH THE BELIEF THAT THE BRAKE SYSTEM ALONG THE ELECTRICAL SYSTEM WITHIN THE 2003 FORD TAURUS SES DOHC IS UNSAFE FOR STREET USE IN THE U.S. DUE TO OUR STANDARDS HERE OF MOTOR SAFETY. WHEN PUT INTO GEAR THE TRANSMISSION JUMPS LOUD. *TR
