The contact owns a 2000 Ford Taurus. Upon starting the vehicle, the contact noticed a strong fuel odor. The contact stated that the fuel odor had been present since 2012. The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. The manufacturer was not notified of the failure. The failure mileage was unknown.
Car fails to accelerate at times. Gas pedal is depressed but engine does not seem to be getting fuel. After repeated attempts -- hitting accelerator -- engine will suddenly "catch" and lurch forward. Seems to be a throttle problem, but Ford dealer will not address. Even though car falls in recall range for 2000-2003 Tauruses with "sticky" throttles (recall was issued in 2013), dealer says it is "not on recall list. " over 450,000 vehicles are -- but apparently mine is not one of them. Seems like a very dangerous situation to me. You're driving in a 55 mph zone an suddenly your car slows to 20 mph no matter how hard you press the gas pedal. Then after 20 seconds it suddenly takes off? not good.
Broken speed control cable. Broken in the same place as pictured in many online photos as being recalled yet the Ford dealer says this car is not covered. Same thing happened with a 1997 Ford explorer with broken sway bar link. Does anyone research the recalls, they are not complete. The NHTSA is no better than the bbb. Just a complaint blog.
