I bought this car 2010 ford taurus sel and have complained about sudden acceleration but the dealership was unable to duplicate but it still continues to do so when I least expect it. Then I noticed red fluid was leaking and the dealership found the seal was not properly sealed by the manufacturer. Then when I turned off the car the gear shift refused to shift and when it did after five minutes, I could not get my key out!....now the cd player is accelerating when I try to play my music, this car is a lemon.
