Carrier/rack problems of the 2013 Ford Taurus

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!.

Sunroof vibration with sunroof open all the way with back windows cracked about an inch. Vibration is so bad that you can no see out of the rear view mirror. You can reach up and touch the sunroof deflector and the vibration will stop. I feel that it is a safety issue for not being able to see out of the rear view mirror when the vibration is happening. The only way to stop the vibration is to roll all of the windows down. My wife drives the car the most and will not let the windows all the way down when she is riding on interstate. She likes the sunroof open and cracks the back windows to alleviate the pressure but the vibration will not go away. Very unhappy with a brand new car that has an issue like this!.
