Car became increasingly difficult to shift out of park. At this time the brake lights were working. Found a work around on the internet that worked. Also found a recall (04s12) for same problem but my VIN was not covered and Ford will not fix. However, they do not sell the stop light switch (which is most likely the part I need) by itself anymore. You must buy a more expensive kit that includes the stop light switch and wiring on the brake pedal. Now my brake lights are completely out so we cannot drive the car. Seems if Ford won't sell just the switch then they are acknowledging that this is a safety issue and my car should be included in the recall. I found many other people with the same problem when I was looking for a solution to the shifting out of park problem. I have called Ford twice but they basically say "sorry you are not part of the recall. " and regarding whether there were a crash, if my daughter had kept driving it there most likely would have been one, as brake lights are pretty important.
Hello, I own a 2001 Ford Taurus and ever since the beginning of this summer, I have noticed that the driver's side floor board is constantly damp. I don't know if this dampness is coming from when it rains outside or if it has something to do with the a/c drainage hose being clogged. Either way, I find this as a safety concern as major cords are underneath the carpeting and I feel unsafe knowing that water is collecting underneath the carpeting, making those cords wet, which could spark an electrical fire. I really would feel much safer getting this problem fixed but I have no idea where to begin. I truly believe this is a safety concern and would really like to get it fixed, if only I knew where to begin. Thanks for your help with this matter.
My Ford Taurus 1st broke down on the interstate. I was on my way taking my kids to chuck e. Cheese. It ran hot out of the blue. After that I got it towed, I did replace the motor, had the transmission worked on, replace many sensors, replaced the fuel filter, replaced the fuel pump, the sensor of the air condition. I have replaced almost everything on that car from the time I bought it in 07 until 2010. And its still not running. Its parked they are saying its something with the transmission again. I have spent so much money in that piece of junk Ford. I feel they should fix the transmission this time and give me some of money back for all the repairs. And for the record my dates are estimated because I just parked and it and stop keeping up with it. Just plain ole got tired. That car took me broke. I finally had to bow down and go get another 1 with payments as last resort. For me and my 2 little girls 1 of them whom is disabled.

I own a 2001 Ford Taurus. We have been having an on going oil filter leak. We have dealer paperwork to prove it. I found on-line a TSB 01-20-4 showing the problem. We went to drew Ford today 6-14-05. The problem is the machined lines on the oil filter mounting surface. Our service writer told us we'll be charged 60. 00 to find the leak. When it's plain as day where its leaking. We're told the warranty is the lst 36,000 miles only, but we have been reporting this all along to Ford. When I found this TSB on-line number 01-20-4. I want my car fixed for free. This is a hazard,not only the smell of burning oil, but the fire hazard, the dealer said there is a chance if it is fixed if all the metal and sandpaper debris from the oil filter pad enter the engine or oil this could lead to engine bearing damage. So now this is a catch 22. I have passed the 36,000 miles. , having over 90,000 miles. I told the dealer ( drew Ford) in la mesa CA I leave on vacation, I'm driving to mn 6-19-05. 5 days from now. This should be a re-call. It is for 2001 Taurus, ranger and 2001 sable models.
