general problems of the 2011 Ford Taurus

My 2011 Ford Taurus has had so many repairs out of pocket expenses and if I purchased another warranty package doubt it would cover my issues past and present. 69,000 th miles. Throttle bottle and pedal replacement $ 852. 79 replaced on February 14, 2023. Mechanic tried to fix it but the error code is the large blue wrench and check engine light still on. Have to bring it in at the end of the month to my Ford dealer as they are so booked up and I have read all the Ford recalls. When I start the car the break pedal is to the floor, it revs up and when I place the shift in drive it wants to take off by itself at a rapid speed. I then shut the car off and it makes a big thump. It takes me three tries to start it up again but looses power where I have to put my emergency flashes on. This incident is so dangerous. Ford should have done a recall there are so many complaints ! I was going to disconnect my battery and connect it again to see if that works but I don’t want to erase the codes. My Ford dealership is so busy that they could only give me an appointment at the end of the month. As I stated my vehicle is inoperable as it sits until the end of the month to get serviced again.

The rear window shade pops up and down when I put the car in reverse. Also the brakes roar when the brake is depressed hard. I've read a lot of complaints on the window shade. This appears to be a bad option that's put on a Ford.

Clearwater florida 2013 vehicle traveling on the interstate at 65 mph. I watched as the key to the vehicle turned into the off position. The brakes did not work the steering column would not steer the whole electrical system in the vehicle shutdown. October 8, 2014 at approximately 5:30 pm while in boston mass the vehicles electrical system shutdown. Tires are cracked and dry at only 34,000 miles. I'm traveling back to florida soon with my dog from boston and I'm afraid this car won't make it.

Our Taurus brakes squeak loudly in either forward or reverse. They also grind when coming to a moderate stop. Have taken to dealer 4 times and even have a customer case number with Ford. It sounds like a 72 pinto with 200,000 miles on it; not a brand new car! Ford dealer heard the noise but was told by Ford that this is "normal" on this model. I'm afraid to drive the car and even more fearful to let my two teenage driver get behind the wheel of this car for fear something may happen while they are driving it. Ford does not seem to car. I have been a loyal Ford customer for years and have purchased at least 5 new Fords in the last 10 years. I'm going to have to rethink that decision. No one seems to care or even wants to look farther into this even though the dealer has heard and verified the noise. They still continue to maintain that this noise is "normal".
