Automatic Transmission problems of the 2005 Ford Taurus

This incident first happened while I was pulling into a parking spot and since many times. The car gets stuck in full throttle and sometimes impossible to stop I have to throw into neutral to keep from slamming into vehicles, it has torn up my new brake pads that I put on in the fall. It will be fine for a period of time then all of sudden out of no where the car will get stuck in full throttle. I have been told by a Ford mechanic that this is a common issue.

Ford Taurus transmission just stopped when driving, dealer said $2500 to fix, I checked on line and found numerous complaints of same issue. Ford need to fix this on a recall basis. Thank god my car was not on highway going fast with my 3 kids in it , then it would not have been a recall issue but a lawsuit isse. Ford need to look at this and refund all customers that have paid out of pocket for these reapirs.

Own a 2005 Ford Taurus sel. With less than 100k miles on it, and without warning, the transmission stopped engaging. This happened on a busy interstate 90 miles from home. Luckily, we were able to pull the car off to the shoulder. This and many other accounts have led me to believe that Ford has installed faulty transmissions in this model line. No transmission should drop out without warning with such low mileage on the transmission. Transmission needed to be rebuilt, cost me $2200 in the end.

We were stopped at a stop sign and when we went to press the gas pedal to go the rpm's revved for a second and then nothing. The car would not go like it was in neutral. We turned the car off then turned it on again and still nothing. The car wouldn't go into gear. Now we are trying to figure out how to get it fixed and are going to the dealership tomorrow to see if they can help. We have only had the car for a year and it only has 95,000 miles on it.

Transmission light came on and although rpm's would go to 6000 you could only drive 30mph - no warning or indication of any transmission problem - service had been done per manual and was current - mileage was 60k - rebuilt transmission was the solution - really not happy.

I was just driving and there was a whirling sound a my car just coast to stop. Right now I have to spend 1700. 00 for a rebuilt transmission.

Transaxle going out with no signs of problem. While driving and making turn transaxle went out while in the middle of turn in middle of intersection. Was lucky not a lot of traffic and parking lot close enough where I could coast into safely. No gears except park it was like all other gears was neutral. I am going to have transaxle replaced or rebuilt.

The vehicle was taken to a local mechanic, and the oil and filter were replaced. The mechanic stated that the transmission needed to be replaced. No repairs were made. The current mileage was 88,665 . The failure mileage was 88,661.

I have a 2005 Ford Taurus se that I bought for my 17 year old daughter, at 52045 miles, the transmission went out. She was driving on the highway at 60mph with a semi behind her when the transmission went out, dropping her speed to 20mph. Ford will not do any thing about this problem, and after some research, I have found numerous complaints about the same thing. I don't understand, if Ford knows there is a problem, why they won't correct it. My daughter could have been killed or injured, and yet they won't claim fault. I have contacted Ford, but have been told there is nothing they can or will do.

The contact owns a 2005 Ford Taurus. The contact was driving approximately 70 mph when the vehicle would not accelerate. He coasted the vehicle to the side of the road where it was towed to an independent mechanic. The vehicle was diagnosed as a failed transmission and was repaired. Approximately 31,000 miles later, the failure recurred. The vehicle was not further repaired nor was the manufacturer contacted. The failure mileage was approximately 84,000.

While driving down the road with no previous indications of trouble the car suddenly started to slow down and the rpm went up. The car came to a stop in the middle of an intersection and would not move no forward or reverse. Had the car towed to the Ford dealership and told them what happened and he stated that this was a common failure with this vehicle. The called later that day and stated that the car needs a new transmission that it has no pressure and that the could put in a remanufactured one in cheaper than repairing this one the total will be in he area of $3,100. 00 I have googeled this and had over 147,000 hits. Sound like Ford is hiding a major defect and placing every one that drive one at a major risk. What if this had been a rr crossing? by the way the extended warranty just expired at 80,000.

It was raining. . . I had the windshield wipers on. Parked and went to turn off wipers. Would not turn off, and began to smoke. I removed fuse. Replaced fuse. . . Began to smoke again. Windshield wiper motor blown. Now I have noticed that car is having difficulty shifting. Today I had a diagnosis done, transmission needs replaced.

Purchased a 2005 Taurus in December 2004. At 1000 miles over the 36000 mile bumper to bumper warranty the transmission went out. Returned car to the dealership and was treated very poorly. Told different information on repair cost, but Ford will not fix the car without us paying a huge portion of the 2000. 00 repair.

On the 1st start of the day (every day), for one-two minutes, when I push down on the brake, the car will move slightly forward. There is a clunking noise from the engine area, and the rpms decrease when the brake pedal is pressed. This occurs in park or neutral. The dealer had an engineer from Ford look at it said he did not know what is causing it, but tried other Taurus and saw the same problem.

Purchased a 2005 Ford Taurus a year ago and having transmission problems. . Over the 36,000 mile bumper-to-bumper warranty, so called dealership and was treated very disrespectful. Called Ford and no help from them either.
