1 Electronic Stability Control problem

Failure Date: 07/01/2016

Had throttle related issues that were supposedly "repaired" at the dealer which are still present. The vehicle accelerates by itself and shows a wrench icon on the dashboard with a check engine light on. If the vehicle is put on drive it moves by itself as if one were pressing on the gas pedal. This is a possible safety issue that could possible kill someone or even get me killed while driving the vehicle (which I don't). Right now it's at the dealer and had to be towed away since the vehicle couldn't be moved.

2 Electronic Stability Control problem

Failure Date: 01/05/2016

Rear view camera stopped working a short time ago. Car was completely inspected and I was told that the repair would cost $1136. 00 ! car has very low mileage , no accidents, garage stored etc. I find it hard to believe such an expense on the car. How often will this become a problem? will I need to come up with $1100. 00 or more on a regular basis every few years for such repairs ? is Ford aware of this problem with other cars and have made arrangements to assist in cost of repairs?.

3 Electronic Stability Control problem

Failure Date: 02/26/2015

Hello good morning I have a 2011 Ford Taurus sel and while going up a hill my car shut off while my keys were still in the ignition. My steering locked, check engine and low oil lights went on. The only thing I could do was apply brakes to the car and place it in park. I shut off the car and opened the hood to see if anything looked out of place. I checked my engine oil levels and that seemed fine. I closed the hood and turned the car back on. No check engine light or low oil? I haven't had a problem since but it seemed like an extremely dangerous situation. I see there are several complaints about the same issue.
