Dt: the contact owns a 2000 ford taurus. While driving the vehicle at various speeds the car will stall, it will choke, and completely shut off. Took the vehicle to the dealer, and they were unable to correct the problem. The dealership did a diagnostic on vehicle, and she was unsure of what the part was called, but it was something electrical under the engine (sensor switch). She took vehicle to mechanic for repair of the part that the dealer diagnosed as the problem. The part has been replaced twice and still has not corrected the problem. The problem first began in march 2004. Since the beginning of this problem her car cut off at least 12 times. Four of those 12 times was while she was on the freeway.

Complaint received via e-mail. 2000 ,ford, taurus sel shut down while driving in high speed traffic. It has been to the local ford dealership twice regarding the issue. Today after the third occurrence the service technician suggested that I use a different ignition key while operating the vehicle - I do not accept this as a viable solution to the trouble. When the engine dies while in traffic power steering/power brakes, and directional signals are lost. The car is a menace to the driving public. It is only a matter of time before its behavior causes an accident. My car is only 4 years old, and has only 33000 miles. All I wish is for ford to fix the car, so that it is reliable and no longer a danger to myself and the motoring public.

2000 ford taurus sel 24v v-6 continually dies while in high speed traffic. Car has been well maintained per ford recommendations. Ford dealership has serviced the car twice prior to current failure for same conditions. Recent recommendation from ford service personnel was to 'use a different ignition key.' per recommendations and using a different key, car continues to stall/die while in traffic, rendering power steering, power brakes, and directional signals inoperative. In its current condition, I do not feel that this car is safe (by design or manufacturer's inability to repair) to operate on public motorways.
