Five problems related to service brakes have been reported for the 1999 Ford Taurus. The most recently reported issues are listed below.
Front spring coil is broken.
While driving the car at a low speed, deer ran out in front of me and I braked to stop and at that time the car surged and accelerated at a high speed which caused me to lose control of the car and hit a tree head on. I pressed the brakes as hard as I could and the speed would not decelerate. I suffered a large head injury that required 54 staples to close the wound. I spent over a week in the hospital, including an icu stay. This car is dangerous and is causing injuries and possible deaths.
My brake pedal went all the way to the floor board, and I could not stop so I crashed into the car in front of me and it in turn crashed into the car in front of it.
Brakes were applied while changing lanes and nothing happened, emergency brake had to be applied.
The vehicle experienced extended stopping distance.
