Takata recall I was driving 60mph and tried to set cruise control and took for off gas ABS the car kept accelerating fast. About 80mph I tapped the brake, cruise control light turned off and car kept accelerating and rpms were in the red. I pushed as hard as I could on the brakes and car kept accelerating past 85mph and I was now coming into 30mph zone and rpms were high and I tried to put it in neutral cause I didn't know what to do. The engine revved completely up with rpms and I finally just threw it in park in road and turned car off and called insurance for tow truck. My son said I had burnt my brakes.. Unsure other than there was smoke from someplace under car. I got down and visually and looked for gas pedal to be stuck or anything and it was normal. Tried starting car and immediately turned it back off due to rpms in red. Happened 3 seperate times but mechanic never found anything wrong or what it was so my dad disconnected the cruise control wires or something with cruise control. Car idles now high and rpms run higher than normal. Nobody knows what to fix so I don't know what to fix.

On 4 occasions over a 2 month period my taurus failed to accelerate immediately due to what had appeared to be the traction control powering down the motor, minus any flashing lights etc. I would pull up to a stop sign, and attempt to accelerate and I would lose all power for approx 2 seconds and then my car would slam into gear and take off (always on dry clean pavement). I at first dismissed this issue to being a sensor going bad for the ABS system. I later found that during that time same period the speed control would intermittently stop working at various places and times on straightaways or turns without regard to what speed it was set at, however this did not happen to myself but a relation who was borrowing my car on occasion. The latest issue was when I attempted to pull away from a stop light 4 nights ago and it felt like either my car was in much too high of a gear, or if I had been driving a manual transmission I would have sworn that the clutch had gone bad and was slipping horribly. I released the accelerator and placed the car into manual shift while coasting under 5mph. My taurus lurched and slammed into first and then when I began to accelerate I placed it back into drive and it shifted fine on its own. I'm headed to the dealer later this week and am hoping to have this issue resolved quickly and easily after having found the service bulletin for this issue on here. I still don't get why this isn't a recall when so many people have had an issue, thankfully I purchased an extended warranty and I'm covered, oh and my taurus has under 47,000 miles on it so it's not like I've got a zillion miles and this issue popped up, ugh. Good luck to all of you taurus owners.

Brake line to rear brakes failed due to rust. All (all) brake fluid leaked out. The service brakes were totally inoperable. A large oil spot on the concrete driveway was the only warning.. No low fluid light is installed. This vehicle is non-ABS. Much to my surprise, this is a single reservoir system. Is this a safety issue? Mileage 103,000. It picked the best possible time to fail. Reported to ford.

My 2012 ford taurus sho was brought into jones west ford in reno, nevada. It was at jones west for a power steering recall. While on the interstate back home the adaptive cruise control, faulted and caused a warning to appear, as well as a collision avoidance fault. At the dealership in fallon, the service advisor informed me that the acc module was faulty and needed to be replaced. Fallon completed the work but on a quality assurance ride to ensure the module was working correctly, the technicians found that the vehicle was making steering inputs without the driver turning the steering wheel. The technicians returned to the dealer to diagnose what had caused the steering inputs. They traced the problem back to the ABS control module and pump, and ordered a brand new one. They ordered the ABS module around the 23rd of november 2015, but due to stocking problems the part did not arrive until around the 24th of december. I was not offered a rental vehicle by the dealership, an apology from ford for the inconvenience. After the dealership finally received the part and installed it, the technicians ran into a problem with the PCM accepting the new module, a new problem arose; the instrument panel cluster would operate normally for a time and then the lights would dim, and then completely turn off. When the vehicle was hooked up to the obdii system, it even shut the diagnostic equipment down as well. The technicians at fallon auto mall realized they did not know how to fix the problem and called a field office technician in denver for advice. He advised the technicians and service manager to check a few different components on the vehicle but, as of today the vehicle is still not drivable and the technicians still do not understand what is happening with the vehicle and even mentioned that the acc module is still not working properly.

Brought car into three different dealer to diagnose why all dash lights were coming on and off. Each time the PCM was wiped clean and was told they were unsure. The last time I brought the car in was for a possible bad speedometer reading as was pulled over for going 70 in a 55 as which speedometer was reading 55. Brought in for both concerns and determined that the ABS module was bad and the instrument cluster is bad also. Speedometer being off is a safety hazard for all and should have no reason to go out. No telling how long speedometer has been out, but the ABS module started problems around 90,000mi.
