My wife drove our 1999 Ford Taurus se to the store and when she went to leave the key would not fit in the ignition switch. After numerous attempts she finally got the key in but it would not turn the ignition switch. Her and my kids where stranded in town close to home. But with me being deployed it could have been a lot worse. I need to know if there has been any other issues with the ignition switches going bad on this type of car. I cant see a ignition switch going bad on such a fairly new car. And the cost and hassle you have to go through to get the switch ,key and the key programmed is outrages.

Complaint received via e-mail. 2000 ,Ford, Taurus sel shut down while driving in high speed traffic. It has been to the local Ford dealership twice regarding the issue. Today after the third occurrence the service technician suggested that I use a different ignition key while operating the vehicle - I do not accept this as a viable solution to the trouble. When the engine dies while in traffic power steering/power brakes, and directional signals are lost. The car is a menace to the driving public. It is only a matter of time before its behavior causes an accident. My car is only 4 years old, and has only 33000 miles. All I wish is for Ford to fix the car, so that it is reliable and no longer a danger to myself and the motoring public.

At 30,000 miles I had to replace my transmission on my new car due to the plastic parts that they are made out of. I had extended warranty so they charged me $100. 00. . . . I also had to replace the steering column due to the car not me causing the problem. I paid $100. 00 then also. I don't think I should have paid a penny either time. These are the car's problem's and it should have been recalled. They never told me of a recall. Not even the Ford I bought it from would tell me of any recall's. By law they should notify me, and tell me if I ask. I was in a wreck once in this car and I floored the car to avoid a head on collision. The front wheel drive pulled me forward and once I was hit the engine died and I was in a tail spin. The only thing that save us from being crushed by this truck, was me pulling up out of the way by my speed. But the engine being shut off could have killed us. If your engine get's cut off you can't pull your self away from the other car's. That is a deadly mistake cutting off the fuel.
