Head gaskets blewout while driving. Also, vehicle started smoking with coolant and oil coming from underneath vehicle. Contacted dealer, and had to replace engine. *ak the motor mount cracked and ruined the A/C. Intake was leaking coolant. Radiator was replaced. The engine light comes on intermittantly due to sensor failure. Brakes make noise.
Right front coil spring broke while parked and punctured tire. Dealer notified and made repairs. *ak prior to this, the rear spring broke and both rear springs were replaced. Consumer was informed that the front rotor was defective and that it had holes in it.
Engine stalled & power brakes and steering shut down at 75 miles per hour. Occurred on interstate 40, half way between needles & barstow. Outside temperature was approximately 103 degrees. Lucky to gain access to right shoulder of highway before being rear ended by other traffic.
This afternoon I was in my 1995 ford taurus wagon in heavy highway traffic when the accelerator locked and the the car sped down the highway at dangerous speeds. After determining that the brakes would not slow the car I was able to safely pull the car to the side of the road after switching into neutral. This is the second time this has occurred in the past 12 months. Last november when this happened the first time the repair shop determined that the problem was with the cruise control however they could not recreate the problem.
Power steering locked up. Brakes make a noise like grinding metal against metal.
While driving 45 MPH vehicle suddenly accelerated, gas pedal just fell to floor. Consumer applied brakes, no reaction, engine kept going. At 90 MPH consumer pulled key out of ignition to stop vehicle. Vehicle at dealer, who could not find cause. Consumer afraid to drive vehicle. *ak
Alternator failed.
While driving could step on the brakes pedal and the brakes will grab and make noise like grinding metal to metal technician said that brakes needed a master cylinder,and calipers needed to be drilled. *ak consumer states the problem was detected before purchasing vehicle and dealership made a promise to fix all problems if consumer purchased the vehicle.
Consumer stated before buying vehicle noticed that air bag light was coming on. After buying vehicle dealer refused to fix it.*ak consumer states motor mount is broken so shifting,starting, stopping or any other movement in the car would lift the engine in an upward motion, the front marker light needed to be replaced on the driver's side, air bag equipment malfunctioned due to the module sensor was defective, the brakes needed to have the master cylinder replaced, radiator needed to be replaced, serpentine belt was replaced, timing gear gasket, hood latch was broken hood would not stay down while driving down road, also security system needed to be reset.
Master cylinder failed. Nlm
When applying brakes vehicle traveled an additional couple of feet before coming to a complete stop. Vehicle did not come to an immediate stop. This could cause a crash. Brakes were looked at by a mechanic. But, mechanic could not find a problem with the brakes. Please provide any further information.
When driving at 20-30 MPH and upon attempting to make a graudal stop, vehicle continued to move forward, causing extended stopping distance. Consumer contacted dealer, dealer stated that metallic brake line rusted out, causing poor brake performance. Please provide any further details.
I have had head gasket problems,brake problems(rear calipers),rotors,transmission fluid leakage,radiator leakage,engine cooling system,A/C pump failure
1. Radiator - failed due to design defect in plastic to aluminum core joint, causing loss of coolant, replacement failed within one day. Replacement for that one lasted only about 20,000 additional miles, so a total of three identical radiator failures with loss of coolant in about 25,000 miles on the same car. Same problem on son's 1995 taurus sedan with same engine. Original radiator failed, replacement failed within 1,000 miles of installation. This experience seems to indicate a fundamental design defect in the taurus radiator. 2. Brake failure. Defect in design of rear calipers used with ABS system on the taurus results in rainwater intrusion causing rusting of caliper pins that then impedes proper retraction of the brake pads. Excessive pad wear results in metal to metal contact between the caliper piston and the pad backing plate with greatly reduced braking efficiency.
No summary listed for above vehicle.
Abs system and the brakes are working intermittently. Vehicle was towed in and dealer decided there was no problem. Greased the rear calipers and adjusted brakes. No problem now.
When driivng at any speed and applying the brakes, the brakes are going half way to the floorboard. Also, motor mounts went out/ air conditioning unit failed, and was blowing hot air, and transmission had to be replaced due to vehicle stalling, cutting off and shifting hard. Vehicle has been into the shop for repair service three times and, the dealer can't determine the causes of the problem.
Misaligned head lamps/front&rear door/tailgate door/hood. You can hear gas in tank moving around
While driving and applying the brakes pedal goes all the way to the floor, and the brakes begin to shake violently.dealer was contacted, and stated that this was a very common problem.
