general problems of the 2007 Ford Taurus

Basically I was driving and stopped and my house and while in ideal the wiring under the hood and under the fender into the dash all started to melt together shorting the systems so I tried to repair and replace the parts due to being a used vehicle and didn't know how to report this until now. So I cut the melted chunk of wiring harnesses out and trashed it. But I stopped due to the inability to find any replacement harnesses from Ford or Mercury so now my car has been sitting for several months. I have only been able to find melted harnesses on junk yard cars. Ford used poor quality 16 gauge wiring that the outer coating became brittle and easily frayed. Every wiring harness I've seen has bad spots from wires melting or breaking and corroding. I'm my case the wiring melted causing the cooling system to stop working properly and almost damaged or may have damaged my engine. I don't have full coverage so I am forced to park it and do what I can myself which has made me lose my job and ruined my life. Please do look into this I'm sure more people have the same issue just check a junk yard and you'll see what I mean. Thank you for your time I will try to provide any further information or help if needed anyway I can to make sure someone doesn't get hurt.

It's very cold outside I'm looking at forms and it seem to be a issue with the Taurus family in the cold the door doesn't lack none of my door will lock until it's warm outside ??? hello it's at home in a parking spot late for work :(.

I have a water leak on my passanger side floor which shorted out my heater blower I had noticed the leak it happened tonight while I was driving then when I turned on my heat the blower stopped working.

Sudden acceleration.

Floor behind glove box is getting wet when the car is parked and sits in the rain. Must be coming in the hood or windshield. Multiple reports on line about the cowl over cabin air filer. Or a rain hat extension. Causing a/c motor to go out now because of the water coming in continually. Cant seem to get the problem solved on our 2007. Hoping water leak does not cause a fire if it keeps coming on the way it had been.

On two occasions I was traveling approx. 60 mph on the freeway when my car suddenly accelerated to 80 mph. The first time I took my foot off the gas and the car slowed to at 50 mph and continued that way for a couple minutes, then returned to normal. The second time I had to push the brake pedal very hard with both feet to make it slow down. I was able to get off the freeway, but there was I red light and I slid through the light trying to stop my car. I was fortunate no other car was coming. I put the car in neutral, and there was a very hard kick and the rpm's where still very high. Then it just stopped racing and went back to normal.

It is shameful that Ford motor company and you are already aware of this problem with the transmissions and torque converter on the 2006 and the 2007 Ford Tauruses. I reported my husband's 2006 Ford Taurus transmission problem to you in 2011. We delivered our son's 2007 Ford Taurus to the transmission repair shop today. Again the transmission repairman told us the same exact thing - that the torque converter and transmissions are defective in those year models and more year models in the Ford Taurus. He knows there should be a recall from 1996 til now on the Ford Taurus defective transmission. The car comes to a complete stop anywhere and it will not go forward or backward(my husband's car did this). We delivered our son's when we noticed at about 45 miles per hour the car jumps just like my husbands 2006 Ford Taurus did just before it stopped suddenly in the road. Your failure to fix this problem is negligence and Ford motor company is responsible for this. How many people have to die to fix this problem? it is very dangerous and fixable.

We took a trip on 04/01/2014 and on the return home. The cruise control failed to work. At that point, it was not a big concern until yesterday when we were at a light behind a Ford f-150 pickup truck. Car accelerated to about 4000 rpm. My foot was already on the brake. I had to push the brake to the floor to keep from hitting the truck in front of me. W hen we got thru the intersection, I was able get the rpms down by hit the gas petal a couple time. I started to check online to see if this was a problem, I learn that my Ford Taurus was under investigation for cruise control/ accelerator issues. Has Ford address this issue before someone gets injuried or killed. I will not let my family in the car until the problem is fixed.

While driving 25 mph took foot off gas to slow down and car accellerated on its own. Tapping on gas would slow it down but didn't stop it. Pulled in parking lot and put vehicle in park. Rpm's raced to over 3000 without me having foot on gas. Turned off and started up and rpms still racing. While in parking lot attempted to drive and vehicle would go without my foot on gas. Took to dealer on Monday and happened on way but of course nothing when got to dealer. On 4/22/13 happened again while driving 35 mph could feel the gas pedal engage and car accelerated on own. Again pulled in parking lot and put in park. Rpms accelerated. Turned on and off this lasted for 15 minutes. Then could feel the gas pedal disengage. About 1 hour later happened again while driving. Was in drive through lane and even though foot on brake you could feel car try to push against it. Had passenger in car with me who could experience it as well. I feel very unsafe in this car and disappointed that Ford dealer says they know of no fix for this problem even though its been reported for years.

When going down the street at any speed, the car can just start going faster on its own, going around corners or anytime going down the road. Its getting very dangerous. Most of the time when you tap on the gas pedal, it will break free and go back to normal but sometimes it just goes faster and faster. Have to pop it in neutral and keep tapping the pedal and hope it goes back to normal. Very dangerous for me or my kids and other drivers on the road. I am trying to get it fixed very soon. Right now the mechanic does not know what is wrong and I am still driving it because I have to get to work. Its my only car.

When wet or really cold outside, gas pedal sticks and you push hard on it and it eventually goes but shoots you out into traffic or faster then you want it to go. Right after you put into drive or if you stop at a stop light or sign. You can stop, but then can't get it to go. Scary cause if you are in stop and go traffic and it sticks makes you shoot fast so you have to really stay back and then cars cut in front and it happens. Almost rear ended a car several different occasions.

My car in winter months drivers door will not cloths I have to drive holding my door shut while driving this can last for hrs before it might cloths. Sorry but this is not safe to do but have no choice to get to my job.
