The new ford taurus x (front wheel drive) vehicle rolls back when you take your foot off the brake to move it to the accelerator when on an incline. It will keep rolling as far as you let it go. This is a safety concern to anyone owning one. I am not use to driving with two feet and should not have to. This vehicle is an accident waiting to happen. What are they going to do when some child runs behind a car and the car rolls back and hits them. We were told at the dealership it is because of the transmission ford put in it. I have written the ford company many times about the situation. The last email said ford was within their specifications for the vehicle. I am getting rid of this vehicle. The all wheel drive car gives you about 3 seconds to get your foot from the brake to the accelerator before it rolls back which is enough time but the front wheel drives do not. We were also told ford has this same transmission in most of their vehicles. I have not hit anyone yet, but have come close 3 times already and I have only had the vehicle since december.
