Please allow submission of additional information regarding issues with my 2013 Ford Taurus police interceptor. As stated on the previous complaint filed on 1/9/2024, I got my car service at autonation Ford service center on 12/16/2023, and I brought it back to the service center on Saturday, 12/23/2023 because of the car’s poor performance and engine had laminated on 12/17/2023. Issues such exhaust system, fuel system, the driver exterior door handle is loose, and seat belt gets jammed.

Frequent full suspension jounce and rebound travel may increase the stress on the rear suspension toe linkds which may overr time result in a toe link fracture. Ford has yet to provide the necessary part(s) to effectuate a recall repair by the dealership. Ford seems to be ignoring this NHTSA recall in a timely manner. Please contact Ford and request immediate attention to this matter. Thank you.

I have a complaint about the trunk hydraulic mechanism. I was hurt when the trunk was open I sat on the bumper to put my golf shoes on. At that time the hydraulic air pump that holds the trunk open failed and fell direct on by back. Forgetting this happened it also closed on my head cutting it. I believe this is very dangerous and needs to be recall before a finger is chopped off. Please let me know who I can respond to. Stationary.

The headliner has detached from the vehicle despite only 5 years old. It blocks the rear window. Also, the upper center brake light is on the headliner and is now no operating properly because of its orientation. This is a major safety hazard. Ford has issued a TSB on this. Several attempts to get Ford to repair under warranty or for safety reasons were unsuccesful. It is very disappointing. Research confirms that this was a poor design with limited life on plastic mounting brackets. Repair estimated to almost $1000!.

My wife was standing outside the car holding the passenger door open and as doors will do, it closed slowly on it's own weight and due to the door spring closing mechanism. She accidentally had her thumb in the door where it would catch, so when the door closed slowly, it caught her thumb. What she did not expect is that the door is so sharp along the metal piece near the window that it completely amputated her thumb and it was left hanging in the door. Keep in mind that she was not even closing the door, since she intended to get back into the car, so the rate of closure was extremely slow. I watched this happen and was amazed that her thumb was even cut, much less completely amputated. This door piece is way too sharp on this automobile and compared to other cars, has very little to keep it from causing serious injury.
