2006 Ford Taurus fuel system complaints
Page 2 of 2: complaints 11 to 18 of 18, newest first, as owners wrote them.
I was driving approx 45 MPH and went to decelerate. I noticed the car not slowing down and the tac was at 1800 RPM. I hit the brakes harder and was ready to put the car in neutral but did not. I could hear the brakes working harder. The rpms still at 1800 as I turned into work. I heard a pop and the motor rpms dropped to just under 1000 rpms. On my way back home the cruise control seemed to work properly with the exception of no acceleration or holding speed. The cruise control would not engage. On 12/16/13, I looked at the throttle assy and noticed a cable had come unclipped. I reattached the cable and I tried the cruise control, it engaged. Anyone not familiar with an automobile would have had an accident with injury or worse. Please investigate this issue. Thank you.
I was driving to work and the vehicle accelerated out of control. I tried stopping the car, I put it into park, and even while in park it was still revving up to 4 or 5 thousand rpms. I re-started the car hoping this would "re-set" the vehicle. No such luck. As for now, the vehicle's gas pedal is either stuck, or something is wrong with the cruise control cable. Either way, the situation, in my opinion, is extremely dangerous. My brakes began to smoke before I could get the vehicle home and wait for my husband to help me figure out what to do next.
I purchased a 2006 ford taurus on june 24th, 2012. The taurus was in excellent condition and it ran wonderfully, for the first seven months of ownership. However, in november of 2012, the car began randomly shutting off, sometimes while I was driving. It would happen sporadically and I thought it was a problem that could be fixed. However, after taking it to a ford dealership on two different occasions, no mechanic is able to figure out the problem. The reason being that since it happens sporadically, no one can duplicate it nor is there any saved censor abnormalities. I have replaced the fuel pump, hoping that would fix the problem. However, it has not. Sometimes it will happen up to six times in one day while I'm going as fast as 50 m.p.h. I refuse to drive on the highway because I fear for my life since the car shuts off without warning. Sometimes the car will turn back on and other times, I will have to turn the engine off and re-turn on the car. This is a serious problem and a serious safety issue. I am now stuck with a car that does not work properly and is a danger to my well-being each time I get behind the wheel. I do not blame the dealership for selling me the car; however, I do blame the ford motor company for this very serious and very faulty problem. Please consider this as a formal complaint against the ford motor company and I urge you to take this issue seriously, for my safety as well as other ford taurus owners.
Driving the car on a county highway in texas, let off brake to slow down while approaching intersection, car sped up but we avoided accident by pulling off road. Friend came and we observed that while in park with nobody in car, the car's engine would accelerate to over 4,000 RPM, decline to just below 3,000 rpms, then accelerate again to over 4,000. Towed to dealer, was told it was a dirty throttle, which had just been cleaned a little over a year ago.
Gas pedal sticks when starting car. Very stiff until you tap several times. Seems to be getting progressively worse.
Traveling at about 30 MPH on a drizzly road my 06 ford taurus se brakes were applied and the taurus slowed down a little but then hydroplaned/slid into the rear of a grand prix. Airbags deployed as the taurus hit the grand prix. Taurus engine was still on and the driver moved it to the side of road and shut off. After leaving taurus for a minute to check for condition of other grand prix driver, taurus driver returned to taurus to see right rear seat on fire. The tires were a year old and the brakes had recently been maintained by a local ford dealer. About 1/4 tank of fuel was in the taurus. This model year taurus is a popular used car.
This is a mustang. There was no choice for mustang on your vehicles so I had to pick taurus. There is a problem with my fuel tank. I will not accept gas. It may only take 1/2 a tank and stop and I am unable to fill it any further. Sometimes it won't take any if I have more than 1/4 when I try to put gas in. Sometimes it will fill up. This is a brand new 2006 mustang and just purchased in september 2005. There was a ford technical service bulletin tsb-05-15-12 on this same exact problem on the 2005 mustang built after 4/26/05 but apparently nothing was done about it since my car was built in august of 2005. I called the dealership and was told ford isn't making any corrections at this time.
