My wife was driving the car on the highway when it stalled without warning and lost all power (including power steering). The doors also locked automatically. She was able to get the car to the side of the road safely. The car started normally a few minutes later and she drove it directly to a Ford dealership in hacketstown NJ. They made some (in retrospect questionable) repairs, replacing the battery and the fuel pump. When the car was picked up it stalled again leaving the dealership. We took it to another mechanic who said the fuel pump was improperly installed and fixed it. The car ran fine for another few months, but stalled again, in the exact same manner, going about 50 miles per hour. Once again, after safely navigating to the shoulder the car engine started without issue. This time we took the car to manhattan Ford and contacted Ford customer care. Ford customer care did not concede any issues with the model, and used the somewhat circular reasoning that if there were a problem the model then there would have been a recall, and because there was no recall, there was no problem. Therefore, they concluded, the issue rested solely with my individual car. On the other hand, Ford customer care was less enthusiastic about reporting the problem to the NHTSA. When I first reached out to them on 9/9/13 they said I did not need to report anything since Ford would do it on my behalf. Later, when I spoke to the Ford customer care regional supervisor cynthia on 9/11/13, she dismissed the efficacy of NHTSA, discouraging me from making a report by stating that it would not make a difference. For their part, the manhattan Ford dealership seemed to have a good grasp of the situation and replaced the throttle body assembly. The dealership even discounted the repair after Ford refused to cover it under the engine/powertrain warranty.

On two occasions the vehicle has stalled or lost power while in the process of driving. The first time this occurred the vehicle was traveling 20mph approximately 10 minutes into the drive. The second time this occurred the vehicle was traveling 55 mph while set on cruise control five hours into a drive. In both occurrences the display indicated to put shifter into park while the vehicle was stalled and still moving. While the vehicle was stalled the power steering and braking was disabled. After pulling over to the side of the road, placing the vehicle in park and restarting the vehicle operated normal. The Ford dealership has tried to diagnose the problem twice without success. The dealership has contacted Ford and they state they aren't aware of any problems of this nature. This is a very hazardous condition to occur while traveling 55mph on a curvy canyon road. I'm very concerned with continuing to drive the vehicle.

Acceleration stalls from 0-5 mph then is followed by a harsh bump on take-off this car is verry dangerous it will stall upon down shifting while merging into traffic for as long as 6 seconds. This causes traffic behind me to take avoidance manuvers. When passing it will do the same thing taking 3 to 6 seconds to start accelerating. When I pull out to pass it falls back a full car length before it makes up its mind to accelerate. Verry dangerous, it will do this at 30 mph through 70 mph.

Soon after I got my new 2010 Ford Taurus in March of 2010, it came to a complete stop as I was driving with my sister (mileage under 1,000 miles). I called the Ford dealership and they said to try it again - the car ran well, so I forgot about the incident. In April 2012, I again lost power suddenly and completely while driving. I put on the emergency lights, left the car in the middle of my road where it had stopped, and called aaa to tow it back to the dealership. Service replaced the throttle body, and said they found nothing that could cause the car to stall. Twice again, the car stopped as I was driving it and each time Ford service could find nothing wrong. The last incident left me shaken as I was stuck across my road, exposed to two-way traffic. After the last incident Ford examined the car for several days, drove it hundreds of miles and said they could not duplicate the problem. They referred me to Ford motor. Ford wanted a second opinion from another dealership. Of course the second opinion said all was fine, and they could not duplicate the intermittent problem. Ford motor company declined my request for a replacement car and for a loaner. I took the car back to the Ford and left it there. Ford absolutely knows the dangers of this car, they are well documented in my complaint history and in various complaint venues on the internet and they are stone walling very effectively. The fact is that Ford itself has issued several technical service bulletins talking about . . . If there is an intermittent lack of power¿¿. I was ¿¿intermittently put in danger four times. Ford tells me they will auction the car, full well knowing of the risks. This car VIN is dangerous and should be never be on the road again to compromise passenger and driver safety.
I've complained to multiple service dealers that my car almost stalls while leaving a dead stop and also hesitants at highway speeds. I'm afraid to drive it out of state for fear of an incident because of the engine/transmission behavior. One dealer service transmission specialist ordered a part and installed it, but, the problems still exist!.
The contact owns a 2010 Ford Taurus which was purchased on January 15, 2010. While driving at speeds of 55 mph, the collision warning symbol illuminated on the instrument panel and within one half mile, the vehicle stalled. On a separate occasion, while utilizing the cruise control mechanism at 65 mph, the "driver intervention" and "collision warning" symbols illuminated on the instrument panel and the vehicle stalled again. He was able to restart the vehicle within a few minutes. The dealer was contacted and the failures could not be duplicated. No repairs were made to the vehicle. The contact stated that the cruise control mechanism was controlled by a sensor and when the vehicle came to close to a preceding vehicle, the cruise control sensor would slow the vehicle down to avoid a potential crash. The contact stated that the "collision warning" light was to advise the driver when this was occurring. The dealer installed a recording device in the vehicle and advised the contact to utilize it the next time there was a failure in the vehicle so that they could record exactly what may have caused the failures. To date, the vehicle was in possession of the dealer. The failure mileage was 1,000 and the current mileage was 2,520.
