Check Engine Light On problems of the 2010 Ford Taurus

Tl the contact owns a 2010 Ford Taurus. The contact stated that while driving, the steering wheel seized while turning causing the vehicle to become difficult to steer. The contact stated that an unknown warning light was illuminated. The contact stated that the check engine warning light then illuminated and the vehicle loss motive power and stalled. The contact waited for several minutes, restarted the vehicle and the vehicle operated as designed. The vehicle was taken to rivertown Ford (1680 whittlesey rd, columbus, GA 31904) and diagnosed and test driven however, the mechanic was unable to retrieve a fault code. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was not made aware of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 82,000.

Operating car in normal driving conditions. Check engine light began to blink and engine began to shake. Car continued to operate at 60 mph. Car was driven to dealership for repairs. At dealership learned fuel injector was stuck open dumping raw gas into the engine and exhaust systems. Appears to me to be a very dangerous operating condition.

I was driving down the interstate when the car started running real choppy and misfiring. I got the car to a safe destination. After restarting the vehicle, there was a tremendous amount of white smoke coming from the exhaust. I was able to get it to our nearest Ford dealership. Prior to this incident there were no check engine lights, no problems passing emissions, just no signs that anything was wrong. This is a 2 year old vehicle purchased brand new from the dealership. Ford has bragged about this engine being a premier engine, top notch eco boost turbo charged and for us to have to replace it after two years of driving is insane. We have vehicles older than this 2010 Taurus sho, one with 100,000(chevy 2006), another with 150, 000(Honda 2004), and another with 60,000(Mitsubishi 2003) that have given us no problems. Ford has not lived up to their claims on this car. The dealership said that one of the cylinders had a compression of 0 and that we needed an engine replacement. They never took the engine apart, they just did a diagnostic. I called the customer service line at Ford and complained immediately after finding out that we were going to need an engine. They quoted a price of $6800 to replace the engine. After providing our service records, Ford offered to help us with some of the cost but we were still out of pocket almost $5000. Warning to consumers, this car, even though I loved driving it, I would not recommend it to anyone! we paid close to $50,000 for this car. If you dare to risk buying this car you better get the extended warranty because you just may need it. A big disappointment. Supposedly Ford sent our engine to be examined closely. I hope they find out what the real problem is because I would not want anyone to have to go through what we did. We will not be buying any Ford vehicles ever again!!!.
