Had to shell out $528. 06 to replace both the 'input & output shift senors' in the vehicle. Repair involved removing the valve body on the transmission for access. Majority of the cost involve the labor to reach this area on trans. A month earlier trans locked up in low gear, dash lights were flashing? shut off engine & restarted. Ran ok then. Safety issue! recall is in order!.

As I'm driving down the road my 2007 Ford Taurus has started to accelerate on it's own. On July 9 this incident occurred and I was involved in a car accident hitting a tree. When I start my car it will rev up to 2 rpm and I have to push the gas to bring it back down. My mechanic has changed the O2 sensor and several other things. I believe this issue is fairly common but needs to be addressed. I have to ride my breaks to even stay stationary at a stop light because my car will accelerate up to 20 mph in a matter of thirty seconds. I got lucky that my children weren't with me at the time I crashed I was also lucky that I haven't read ended anyone. Now I am sitting with a very unsafe care and stuck please help me fix the issue.

On night of October 8,2019 I was driving vehicle (2013 Taurus) and it just lost acceleration. Wrench light came on and I was lucky to be able to pull to side of road due limited traffic at that time of night. Once on roadside I turned the vehicle off and it restarted and no warning lights came on. I proceeded to drive the vehicle the short distance to my home with no further problems. The following morning I took vehicle to nearby service center. They checked for codes but nothing showed up. They stated that the throttle body appeared dirty and substantially had them clean it. On October 10 this time while traveling on a high at approximately 55/60mph the vehicle just died again/ losing all power to the accelerator. How an accident didn't occur is beyond me. Vehicle was returned to service center and when vehicle was started there no warning lights appeared although a subsequent check of codes this time revealed throttle body problem. Upon researching issue there have been several similar incidents with varied ideas (powertrain sensor / throttle body) as to the cause of problem. But when traveling on a highway and the vehicle completely loses acceleration and goes in to creep mode is a serious safety issue.

The car has low miles for the year 42k. The transmission has always been erratic, hard shifting, holding gears for too long. A new problem that is happening, in the morning car clunks extremely hard into second gear. I went to accelerate onto a busy road and the transmission banged so hard it startled us and lost power. There's a safety concern with this because it lost all power and we were almost hit by an approching car. After doing searches on the internet, I found this is a common problem with a lot of Ford Taurus model. The Ford company is apparently aware of this problem in their transmissions and won't do anything about it. I purchased the car with 23k miles on it. As of today, we are concerned about our safety in traffic.

Transmission clunks into each gear when driving slow. When brake pedal is pressed to move shifter from park, there is an alarm that is fairly loud coming from the dash. The brakes seem to work well and I have maintained my own vehicles, so there is no reason this should be wrong with the car. It has very low miles for the year and has mostly highway driving. It has been this way for months, getting progressively worse.

Power steering in my vehicle went out in my vehicle while driving on the freeway. I did a bunch of research on 2013 Ford Taurus and discovered there was a recall issued by the manufacturer tuer but my VIN was not covered. I read in several forums that this is happening to hundreds of other with the same make and model, all typically happening in the 80k -100k mileage. Several attempts were made by myself and the dealer to doing the repair to get assistance and I was just given the run around over and over, every person I spoke to had a different answer or information. The dealer never received a response from the manufacturer, so I paid the $3100 in full. I confirmed with the dealer this was the exact part that needed to be replaced in recall 15v340000 that my vehicle was not covered under. I strongly believe they missed a large section of VIN's that were affected and we are having to pay to replace the parts or our vehicles are just left un able to drive.
