On 8/28/12 the check engine light went on while I was driving on the long island expressway. On 8/29/12 I brought the car into syosset Ford of huntington ("syosset")for diagnosis and repair of the malfunction causing the check engine light to go on. Syosset diagnosed the problem as a malfunctioning fuel sender attached above the Taurus' fuel tank. Syosset effect a repair by replacing the fuel sender and charged me $411. 38(before sales tax). On 9/4/12 I smelled gasoline fumes in the driver/passenger compartment, brought the car back to syosset who effected a repair of the leaking fuel sender. On 9/27/12, the check engine light went on again, I brought the car back again to syosset on 9/28/12. Syosset diagnosed the check engine light as caused by the malfunctioning fuel sender and possibly other components. They could not effect a repair on 9/28/12 because they id not have parts or personnel to effect the repair and scheduled me to bring the car back on 10/10/12, while assuring me it was safe to drive. On 10/10/12 I brought the car back to syosset, the check engine light was out and there was nothing they could do. I believe the fuel sender is a defective component that poses a serious danger to the public. Ford had to recall its 2012 escapes for fuel line defects, I believe this defective fuel sender is as dangerous as the escape's defective fuel lines.

Intake manifold in my Ford Taurus 2000 sel exploded. Vehicle: fafp56s2yg125733. I had this happen to me yesterday with my 2000 Ford Taurus se. It has 25,000 miles on it. I had taken it to the dealership for some service last week (30th Dec) and then had this happen yesterday when I started the car in my garage. We had been driving the car in the meanwhile. I don?t think it is related to the service (they did an oil change and replaced the air filter in addition to other things unrelated to the engine). There was a loud noise immediately after I started the car. It was scary enough that I was ducking behind the steering wheel with my hands covering my head. I thought something had fallen on the car from the garage shelves. Then I saw smoke coming from under the hood. I popped up the hood and found that the intake manifold had blown open completely. I called up Ford to see if there were any reported cases of this and was told that there was none. I got the car towed to the dealership and they are looking into it as I write this. I have pictures of the manifold and I have asked the dealership not to start any work before they inform me in a written report what the problem is. I have already found 3 other cases of this on the internet, 2 of which are 2000 Taurus and sable and other one a Mazda with the same engine as mine. I think two of them have already filed a complaint with your office. I would like to know how this problem will be addressed.

Following is the e-mail from a person assigned to this Taurus: it might be advisable to alert all drivers of newer Tauruses to the fact that there is a fuel pump shut-off switch located on the upper inside wall of the trunk. This is inertia operated, and an unsecured load hitting the right side of the trunk can trip it, shutting down the engine. I had this happen yesterday as I turned off the freeway down james street. Without the power boost on brakes and steering, I was barely able to get the car slowed and into the muni garage. If I had less strength in my legs, I would not have been able to avoid a collision. Once the switch has been actuated, it can be reset via a button on its top, but accessing the trunk in necessary to do this.
