2000 Ford Taurus brakes complaints
Page 5 of 5: complaints 101 to 108 of 108, newest first, as owners wrote them.
Brake pedal and accelerator pedal are too close to each other, and there is not enough depth between them, which could cause pedal misapplication when attempting to accelerate or upon braking. Consumer has contacted dealer. Please provide any further details.
I purchased a 2000 model ford taurus lx from marietta ford on 7/10/2000. The VIN # is [xxx]. On 7/27 my wife was involved in a collision while driving this vehicle. Upon investigation and repair the airbag sensors failed, causing the airbags to not deploy. The traction control system malfunctioned, causing the brakes and wheels to lock and making the vehicle unable to stop to avoid a collision. Ford has failed to take responsibility despite repeated attempts to contact them and forwarding them all the appropriate information. In light of the recent spate of defects reported from ford, it appears they now have an additional issue.*ak information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u.s.c. 552(b)(6).
This vehicle has been a nightmare since we bought it from team ford in june. The car has been to the dealer three times for two days per incident and the same problems continue while they gradually discover more problems each time. A car with 5200 miles on it should not need the varied and unique combination of replacements our car has required. The car makes a rotational grinding noise while at freeway speeds, when going over bumps or taking an involved turn the car makes a pop/crack noise from left/front of car. The car has stalled three times during freeway and city driving. The driver's side window creaks and shudders when being put up or down. The car hesitates when started in 80 degree weather and comes close to stalling when initially putting into gear. Now and then car makes lunging motion and noise when put in drive or reverse. I could go on and on...I am reporting defects and problems to better business bureau and the nevada attorney general's office. Please help!
