Ford Taurus 2001 Vehicle Speed Control Review #729834

FORD TAURUS 2001 car safety problem was reported on Aug 19, 2000.FORD TAURUS 2001, manufactured by Ford Motor Company had a problem with VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL . on three occasions, although i didn't realize it at the time, while braking to stop, i was also accelerating causing the car to lurch forward. the harder a pressed on the brake the greater the accelleration. as i said, i had no idea my right foot was on both pedals at the same time. i had the car towed back to clarke ford for their inspection. they performed that inspection on 8/21 and reported no apparent problems. i returned to the dealership that evening to pick up the vehicle. the salesman and i took a test drive to see if i could replicate what i had experieced on the 19th. couldn't do it so i drove my other vehicle home and the salesman followed me home in the new vehicle. the salesman drove me back to the dealership and as he proceded into a parking space he braked to stop the car but at the same time the car wanted to accelerate just as had happened to me on three occassions. the startled salesman exclaimed "is that what happened to you" and he looked down at his which was on both the brake and the accelerator. mystery solved. this had never happened with any other vehicle i have owned or leased in 43 years of driving. i inspected the position of the brake and accelerator pedals in my other two cars and a couple of co-workers cars and discovered that the distances, both depth and width, on the new taurus were much closer than the other vehicles. on the new taurus, i can depress the brake with my hand and it will desend to a level lower than the accelerator. i could not do this in the other vehicles, even by using my foot to brake. the brake pedal never got to the level of the accelerator. i believe the ford new design, which is a power adjustable brake and accelerator pedal bar to accomodate short statured people, could be a defect which could cause serious accidents, similar to those that occured in the jeep a number of years ago..0 person(s) were injured. 0 person(s) died.Vehicle Identification Number (VIN):1FAFP55S11A.

FORD TAURUS 2001 car safety problem was reported on June 06, 2001.FORD TAURUS 2001, manufactured by Ford Motor Company had a problem with POWER TRAIN:AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION:PARK/NEUTRAL START SWITCH . problem #1: when the car is started and the transmission is put in reverse, the car "jumps" back approximately 1 foot, even though your foot is pressed firmly on the brake pedal. this was reported numerous times to the dealership who has been unable to locate the cause of the problem. the dealership replaced the transmission "in the hopes" that this would correct the problem but it did not. when i informed the dealership of this, they claimed that the "jumping back" problem was normal vehicle operation. this does not make any sense since they admitted it was a problem previously and tried to correct it by replacing the transmission. problem #2: the driver-side seat belt tightens by itself around the lap while driving. this is resulting in a restriction of normal movement inside the car. the seatbelt has, on several occassions "locked-up" while the car was in motion, preventing me from turning to look over my shoulder for on-coming traffic to make a lane change on the highway. the dealership tried to fix this by replacing the seatbelt. when i informed them that the tightening problem still existed, they said that the seatbelt tension was normal. this again does not match what they had previously said and acted on by replacing the seatbelt in an attempt to correct the problem. both of these problems pose, in my opinion, a significant safety hazard that the dealership is currently claiming are both beyond their capability to rectify.*ak.0 person(s) were injured. 0 person(s) died.Vehicle Identification Number (VIN):1FAFP53U21A.

FORD TAURUS 2001 car safety problem was reported on Jan 26, 2003.FORD TAURUS 2001, manufactured by Ford Motor Company had a problem with TIRES:SIDEWALL . one of my oem tires (firestone affinity) suddenly failed without warning. there was no road hazard damage such as nails or screws involved. the tire's outside sidewall failed resulting in a split large enough that a credit card could slide through it. the oem tires had less than 18,000 miles at the time of failure. the pressure had been checked during a routine service visit on all of the tires one month prior to this. after taking the tire to a corporate firestone store, they blamed the failure as "impact damage". basically they said it was my fault for hitting something and not due to a problem with the tire. if i had actually hit something, then i could accept the problem. but since i did not hit anything when the tire failed, i am now concerned about the other oem firestone affinity tires on my 2001 ford taurus. there were four passengers in my car at the time this tire failed and all would reitterate the fact that nothing in the roadway was struck to cause the sidewall failure. i was only traveling less than 20 mph when the tire failed as i approaced a stop light. .0 person(s) were injured. 0 person(s) died.Mileage was 17500 miles.

FORD TAURUS 2001 car safety problem was reported on Feb 10, 2004.FORD TAURUS 2001, manufactured by Ford Motor Company had a problem with POWER TRAIN:AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION . i have, on several occasions taken my car to the dealership for check engine light, engine running roughly, and transmission problems. each time the check engine light has been taken care of by installing a different type of sensor (which happens to never be covered under the so-called extended warranty i purchased). the transmission problem, on the other hand, is a problem that has yet to be rectified yet remains a problem. for example, when turning out onto the highway from a stopped position, car will accelerate properly at first but then rpm's will build and transmission will violently jerk after the increase in rpm's. this has also happened on several occasions during high-speed (55-75) driving conditions. of course, the dealers (yes, i've had it at two dealers) have never found anything wrong with the transmission even though i have had an independent transmission repair person change the fluid and filter and inform me that there was a film in the fluid indicating a wearing problem within the transmission.*ak.Ford Taurus 2001 problem was reported in KINGS MOUNTAIN, KY.

FORD TAURUS 2001 car safety problem was reported on Jan 28, 2004.FORD TAURUS 2001, manufactured by Ford Motor Company had a problem with AIR BAGS:SIDE/WINDOW . side airbag deployed after car (2001 ford taurus) hit pothole. no side impact took place. no damage to side of car. only damage was scrape on rim of front left wheel after it went into the pothole going forward. on at least 2 occasions prior to this the airbag light went on and off periodically. incidents were documented with auto dealer at service interval and dealer said could not find problem. but with a history of a problem with sensors and a deployment due to no side impact, this in my opinion represents a safety issue that should be explored as having an airbag go off as you are driving could certainly trigger an accident.*ak.Mileage was 43000 miles.

FORD TAURUS 2001 car safety problem was reported on Mar 01, 2004.FORD TAURUS 2001, manufactured by Ford Motor Company had a problem with SUSPENSION . the anti-sway bars on my ford taurus ses have come loose on three separate occasions. the bars came loose at 10,000 miles, 16,000 miles, and most recently at 50,000 miles. since the latest repair (at 50,000 miles) is now allegedly out of warranty the dealer want $140 to fix the problem again. and there is no guarantee that this problem will not continue to resurface. i argued with the dealer and the manufacturer (ford customer relations) that this is an ongoing problem and a defect, not a new problem. the bars should not be coming loose on their own. it is important to note that on the second repair attempt (at 16,000 miles) the dealer installed a special kit that they received from ford to fix this problem. this is evidence that the manufacturer and the dealer are aware of a generalized problem and that sway bars are coming loose on this car model (2001 taurus ses) and perhaps on many others that share the same sway bar design. nhtsa should investigate the safety issue involved in loose sway bars on the ford taurus. nhtsa should also investigate the attempt by ford and the ford dealers to make customers pay for repairs that never resolve the problem. if ford and the dealers are allowed to claim that this repair is out of warranty then all they have to do is sit and wait until the warranties expire and all defects become a customer-paid repair.*ak.0 person(s) were injured. 0 person(s) died.Mileage was 10000 miles.

FORD TAURUS 2001 car safety problem was reported on Nov 15, 2003.FORD TAURUS 2001, manufactured by Ford Motor Company had a problem with TIRES . bought used 2001 taurus in aug. of 2002. on the test drive i noticed the car pulled to the left and there was vibration in the steering wheel. the dealer at no cost to me did a wheel alignment and wheel balance. i drove again and it was fine. approximately 4500 miles later the steering wheel vibration returned and the car was again pulling slightly to the left. i took it in to the dealer again and was told that the likely cause of the vibration was that a wheel weight was lost, but had no explaination for the pulling. they rebalanced the wheels and rotated the tires. again everything was fine until nov. 2003 as i was driving i once again felt the vibration in the steering wheel and it was much more severe on cornering. i took it to an independent repair shop(nearest ford dealer was 25 miles away). they found the left front tire to have a flat spot on the outer tread area(slipped belt) and both outer tie rod ends to be loose, the left one being extermely worn. they indicated to me that they have seen numerous problems with the continental oe tires not holding balance, having bad wear problems, etc. they installed two aftermarket, greasable tie rod ends and did a wheel alignment and rotation. at this point i have submitted the repair bill to a ford dealer for possible reimbursment, however i am not holding my breath. my opinion is that continental tires are junk and ford knows it. the ford dealer indicated to me that they have had no othe problems like mine, a much different opinion than the independent garage. also tie rod ends usually don't fail at 39k miles for no reason. i have a friend that has a 2002 taurus with continental tires and has had to have them balanced several times due to steering wheel vibration. .Mileage was 39415 miles.

Ford Taurus 2001 Fuel System, Other Review #10108148

FORD TAURUS 2001 car safety problem was reported on Dec 28, 2004.FORD TAURUS 2001, manufactured by Ford Motor Company had a problem with FUEL SYSTEM, OTHER . on the date below about 8.00 am, i was involved in an accident with my 2001 ford taurus. although it was very cold that morning the skies were clear and their was no precipitation at all. roadways were clear for the most part. i was coming down a mountain road traveling to work when i encountered an icy patch of road that had formed probably due to frost conditions since it was very cold. when i applied the brakes my ford taurus seemed to accelerate pushing me faster down the hill. a slow moving truck was a head of me and i could not slow down in time. at the same time a car was in in the passing lane beside me since this was a four lane highway. i swerved an struck the car in the passing lane. there were no injuries. my taurus had to be towed to the garage and upon repairing the vehicle i was notified that a fuel censor needed replacing at my expense. i spoke with the mechanic and he informed me that this part could cause the car to accelerate suddenly. my insurance is forcing me to take responsibility for this accident and the police has cited me also. i was not speeding as evidenced by the car passing me. i know my car had accelerated forward and i believe this may be a defect with the tarrus. one last footnote is that a car before me skidded on the same icy patch and had a more serious accident that involved an ambulance and fire assistance. this vehicle was also a late model ford taurus.*ak.Vehicle was involved in a crash. 0 person(s) were injured. 0 person(s) died.Mileage was 56000 miles.

FORD TAURUS 2001 car safety problem was reported on Feb 02, 2005.FORD TAURUS 2001, manufactured by Ford Motor Company had a problem with ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING:ENGINE:GASOLINE:BELTS AND ASSOCIATED PULLEYS . i have a 2001 ford taurus station wagon with a little over 56,000 miles on it. i turned off the engine at a long stop light & when i turned it back on, i had no power steering. i was able to drive the car the remaining mile to work with great difficulty. when i got to work i noticed the serpentine belt had broke. after work, i was able to drive the car 2 miles to a garage for repairs, once again without power steering. the garage stated that the reason the serpentine belt broke was that the bearings in the air conditioning clutch were seized which caused the clutch to lock up. this caused tremendous friction on the serpentine belt causing it to break. the mechanic showed me the air conditioning clutch with the seized bearings & also stated that the bolt that holds the clutch to the engine was about to come off & that would have caused the clutch to come off the engine. the shop manager stated that this problem should never happen to a vehicle with this amount of miles on it, but he had noticed this problem lately with newer model fords. this problem did not cause an accident as i lost power steering when the vehicle was not moving. i am also a muscular man, so i was able to steer the vehicle at low speeds worth great difficulty. however, if this had happened at a highway speed with my wife or my teenage daughter driving, they would not have been able to control the vehicle & would probably have crashed potentially causing serious injury or death. i would like this problem investigated to see if there is a design problem with the air conditioning clutch on late model fords. *jb.0 person(s) were injured. 0 person(s) died.Mileage was 56860 miles.

FORD TAURUS 2001 car safety problem was reported on Apr 10, 2005.FORD TAURUS 2001, manufactured by Ford Motor Company had a problem with SUSPENSION:REAR:SPRINGS . on april 10, 2005 i was placing my daughter in her car seat (located in the middle of the back seat) when i heard a noise in the back drivers side of my car. upon looking at the vehicle i realized the back spring broke. knowing that the front springs are covered under a recall i assumed there was one also on the rear. i called roadside assistance and they towed the vehicle to prince frederick ford. when i spoke with the service department they assured me they would fix it and try to determine why it broke. also they said half of the labor would be to do a 4 wheel alignment. on april 14, 2005 i was told my car was ready. after paying for it they told me they don't know why it happened but it was fixed. upon leaving the parking lot i noticed the car was out of alignment and now there was a sound coming from the rear of the car (especially when hitting bumps). due to a family emergency i was unable to contact the dealer until monday the 18th. they told me to bring the car back and it would be checked out. on the 21st we were told the car was ready again. the alignment was not completed initially so they fixed that issue and then discovered the rear struts were bad and replaced them. at this time they also said they inspected the other spring and it looked fine. that brings us to today, may 13, 2005 when i again placed my daughter in her car seat (which we moved to the drivers side rear seat) the right (passenger) side spring broke. after calling ford to see why it broke when they said it was fine, they said they could be of no further help to us. i do have the spring that broke today (it's still on the car, until i can have it fixed) but the dealership didn't give me the first one. my concern is with there being a recall on the front springs due to corrosion by road salts in my state, what makes the rear any different? it is an odd occurance for one spring to break but for both to break i think there is a bigger problem. .0 person(s) were injured. 0 person(s) died.Mileage was 66488 miles.

FORD TAURUS 2001 car safety problem was reported on July 14, 2005.FORD TAURUS 2001, manufactured by Ford Motor Company had a problem with SUSPENSION:REAR:SPRINGS:COIL SPRINGS . car was being driven slowly when a pop was heard in the right rear corner of the car as it was being parked. when backing out of the parking spot a rubbing noise was heard. had the car towed to a ford garage and was found to have a broken rear coil spring rubbing on the tire. fortunately it didn't break 10 minutes later on the interstate. the ford garage is repairing the one spring for $500 and will also have to replace both rear tires. with only 60k miles and 3 1/2 years of age this is far too early to experience a failure of this magnitude. is it going to take someone getting killed in an accident before a recall is finally ordered??? there is still a suspect spring on the left rear that could fail at any moment. my children ride in this car on the interstate frequently, i don't feel safe having them riding in this vehicle in it's current condition. please issue a recall immediately to protect the thousands of families who are riding in these potential death traps..0 person(s) were injured. 0 person(s) died.Mileage was 61000 miles.

FORD TAURUS 2001 car safety problem was reported on Sept 04, 2005.FORD TAURUS 2001, manufactured by Ford Motor Company had a problem with SUSPENSION:REAR:SPRINGS:COIL SPRINGS . i have a 2001 ford taurus with 110,000 miles. the rear drivers side spring coil failed, came dislodged from the seat and was rubbing on the inside wall of the rear tire. this could have ultimately resulted in puncture and rapid air loss in the tire potentially causing loss of control of the vehicle. the problem was discovered because the rear tire was losing air and was brought in for repair. when the tire was removed there was a groove all the way around the tire approximately 1/8" deep and the spring coil was protruding. prior to discovery, there was no indication of this problem. the car drove normally and was not noticeably lower or riding low. although this problem for me did not result in accident or loss of control, it was very possible and i'm very concerned about the safety implications for other car owners. additionally, when i contacted ford about this problem, they offered no help in the repair of the vehicle, even in spite of a very similar recall for the front spring coils. (recall # 04v332000) in this recall, they acknowledge the exact potential failure of the front coils. the dealer that services my vehicle has seen my car every 3,000 miles and did not identify this issue proactively. *jb .0 person(s) were injured. 0 person(s) died.Mileage was 110 miles.

FORD TAURUS 2001 car safety problem was reported on Sept 17, 2005.FORD TAURUS 2001, manufactured by Ford Motor Company had a problem with SUSPENSION:REAR:SPRINGS:COIL SPRINGS . broken rr coil spring was discovered by belle tire technician while repairing a tire leak on my daughter's 2001 taurus. vehicle was deadlined and delivered to blackwell ford to have the first spring recall performed and the rear springs inspected/repaired using authorized ford service parts. rr spring and rr shock were both replaced due to "usual damage" to the shock caused by the broken spring (old parts are in my possession and available for inspection). blackwell service advisor informed me that ford would not cover the cost of the rr spring/shock repair since there was no recall/service action in place regardless of the failure mode being identical to the front springs which were produced at the same time. the vehicle has 64,000 miles on the odo (ie out of warranty), but the amount of rust at the fracture point indicates the spring had been broken for some time. there were no noise or vehicular attitude concerns to indicate a broken rear spring. both the belle tire and blackwell personnel seemed "very" familiar with this failure mode on the taurus. the cost of the repair was $375.52. *nm.0 person(s) were injured. 0 person(s) died.Mileage was 64000 miles.

FORD TAURUS 2001 car safety problem was reported on Dec 15, 2005.FORD TAURUS 2001, manufactured by FORD MOTOR COMPANY had a problem with SUSPENSION:REAR:SPRINGS:COIL SPRINGS . on december 15th, i pulled out of my driveway at about 5 mph and heard a clunking noise from the rear of the car. i got out and checked the rear tires and found that they were still inflated. i pulled out to leave my driveway and heard a loud screeching noise as i drove away. i drove back into my driveway and found that the left rear tire was flat. i replaced the tire with the doughnut and was able to drive the car. assuming that the problem was a punctured tire, i took the tire to a local place for a tire repair. they reported that the tread had separated from the tire, but didn't know why. they replaced the tire and as my wife drove away, she heard the screeching noise and after investigation, the shop found that the rear spring had fallen down and gouged the tire, causing the tread separation. the car has been taken to the dealer for replacement of the rear springs, at my cost. what i don't understand is why ford is taking care of the front spring issue but isn't taking care of the rear spring issue when the cause of the rear spring issues is fully known and understood. ford needs to recall and replace the rear springs before people are killed due to their obvious negligence. *jb.0 person(s) were injured. 0 person(s) died.Mileage was 105000 miles.

FORD TAURUS 2001 car safety problem was reported on Apr 13, 2006.FORD TAURUS 2001, manufactured by FORD MOTOR COMPANY had a problem with SUSPENSION:REAR:SPRINGS:COIL SPRINGS . my 2001 ford taurus broke a rear strut spring and it cut a groove in the drivers side rear tire. this caused a blow-out and my wife was driving on a side street and no accident occurred. we have a grandson who rides in a permanent car seat in the rear and fortunately he was not with her at the time. there was a recall last year for the front coil-over strut spring and we had the shields put on by a local ford dealer. why is it that the rear coil-over strut springs were not shielded or replaced. they are almost identical to the front springs and can cause just as severe an accident if cut down, as a tire in the front if you are at highway speed. we were fortunate enough to have this happen at a low speed. this is definitely a manufacture defect since the taurus is a 2001 with only 47,000 miles on it. car is usually only driven to and from work a distance of less than 3 miles. other taurus owners should be aware of this. when i checked the local parts house where i purchase my car parts [taurus is well maintained] they have a back order for these coil-over struts w/springs of 22. so something is definitely wrong here. *nm.Mileage was 47169 miles.

FORD TAURUS 2001 car safety problem was reported on Jan 22, 2007.FORD TAURUS 2001, manufactured by FORD MOTOR COMPANY had a problem with SUSPENSION:REAR:SPRINGS:COIL SPRINGS . one winter morning i pulled my 2001 ford taurus out of my garage to do some errands. because i had some snow build-up on the back passenger side rear wheel, i figured the light grinding noise was from the buildup. when i pulled unto the street and reached higher speeds (about 45), the noise stopped leading me to believe that the snow had fallen off. after about 4 miles of driving, i reached the location i was going to. i got out of my car and noticed the back end sagging. i kept walking around my car to get my 22 month old son out when i realized i had a flat tire. after taking the tire off to replace it with the spare, i took a closer look at the tire. a grove had formed perfectly around the lower wall of the tire. i took the tire in to be replaced and asked that they check out the cause. after being reassured that it was okay but should be looked at more closely, i drove 2 miles home. once at home the tire was removed again only to again see the deep grove in a brand new tire. closer inspection of the car resulted in finding a broken coil spring the had been rubbing on the tire and had cause rapid air deflation after no more than 4 miles of driving. needless to say, the tire, the coil springs, and the rear struts had to be replaced at the tune of nearly $700. i was thankful that i had forgot to take out all the warm winter clothes out of my car that we had used the night before to go sledding; i was able to keep my son warm on a cold and fridged day where i was trapped with a flat. *jb.0 person(s) were injured. 0 person(s) died.Vehicle Identification Number (VIN):1FAHP55U91G.

FORD TAURUS 2001 car safety problem was reported on Apr 12, 2007.FORD TAURUS 2001, manufactured by FORD MOTOR COMPANY had a problem with SUSPENSION:REAR:SPRINGS:COIL SPRINGS . hello, i have a 2001 ford taurus purchased used from pundmann ford feb. 2003. a few days ago i noticed a large piece of coil spring under the car. thinking that the spring was from the front and related to the shields that were installed under a previous recall i took the vehicle to the dealership and was told that both rear springs were broken. how can a vehicle that has not suffered harsh winters and is only 6 years old have broken springs? my trunk is never weighted down and i do not tow anything. did the rear springs come from the same vendor that supplied the defective front springs? as far as i know this is unheard of, even the service representative was surprised. the ford service representative also stated that the vehicle "should not have passed the state safety inspection with these broken springs". i was told by ford customer care that they were not required to do anything at this time. 4/23/07 *tr.0 person(s) were injured. 0 person(s) died.Mileage was 50000 miles.

FORD TAURUS 2001 car safety problem was reported on Apr 08, 2007.FORD TAURUS 2001, manufactured by FORD MOTOR COMPANY had a problem with SUSPENSION:REAR . apr 2007 i have a 2001 ford taurus [xxx] purchased used from pundmann ford feb. 2003. a few days ago i noticed a large piece of coil spring under the car. thinking that the spring was from the front and related to the shields that were installed under a previous recall i took the vehicle to the dealership and was told that both rear springs were broken. my trunk is never weighted down and i do not tow anything. did the rear springs come from the same vendor that supplied the defective front springs? as far as i know this is unheard of, even the service rep was surprised, and said that it should not have passed the required missouri safety inspection. i should hope that ford motor company will be willing to make an arrangement to have these springs replaced at no charge. sincerely, [xxx] [xxx] [xxx] dear [xxx], thank you for contacting the ford motor company customer relationship center regarding your 2001 ford taurus. we have reviewed your situation, and there are no warranties, recalls or customer satisfaction programs on your vehicle that would provide assistance for this repair. sincerely, shiela ford motor company follow up: 12jun07 had both defective rear springs replaced at pundmann ford, noticed new "clunk" from rear and took back to pundmann --- i was told that the broken rear springs probably caused excessive stress on the struts and they needed replaced, i don't suppose that ford is going to take responsibility for any of this, even though there are numerous complaints on the nhtsa's website --- is it only when defective components kill people that the manufacturers are forced to make things right? *js information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u.s.c. 552(b)(6).Vehicle Identification Number (VIN):1FAFP53U21A.

FORD TAURUS 2001 car safety problem was reported on Aug 12, 2007.FORD TAURUS 2001, manufactured by FORD MOTOR COMPANY had a problem with TIRES:SIDEWALL . sears and their defective chinese tires. on july 26, 2007, we purchased four new sumitomo htr h4 p215/60hh16 tires for my 16 year old sons 2001 taurus from sears in lincoln, nebraska. on august 12, 2007 he drove approximately 15 miles on the interstate to go to a park with some of his friends. shortly after pulling into the park, the right front tire went flat. he immediately pulled over and changed the flat tire, replacing it with the donut in his trunk. i had never seen a new tire with less then 300 miles on it in this condition. the flat tire had split open along the sidewall. there was no damage to the tire other then this split. it wasn't scuffed like he had hit a curb and there were no nails or puncture holes in the tires. to me, it just looked to be another defective chinese tire. i have had a terrible time with the employees at sears. they have been extremely uncooperative and we have not yet reached a satisfactory resolution. after several hours of working towards a resolution, they did finally agree that the tire was defective and placed a new tire on the rim. however, they stated that they were too busy to place the wheel back on the car and told my son he would have to do that himself. i expect we will end up in court. thank you for your attention to this matter. *jb .0 person(s) were injured. 0 person(s) died.Ford Taurus 2001 problem was reported in LINCOLN, NE.

FORD TAURUS 2001 car safety problem was reported on Dec 24, 2007.FORD TAURUS 2001, manufactured by FORD MOTOR COMPANY had a problem with SUSPENSION . failure/fracture of front suspension coil springs and related tire damage. my car was repaired as far as the front suspension is concerned under warranty only for springs. my concern is future spring failure on rear suspension which is known to have similar failures with no safety recall in effect at this time. despite the nhtsa tests on similar vehicle defect, i am not convinced that the potential for a loss of vehicle control incident is unlikely. i wonder if one of the nhtsa persons responsible for the test information would let me trade vehicles with them. would they be willing to drive this car for extended use on crowded interstate highways in all weather conditions like so many of us do? the parts in question fail because of corrosion. in most cases the spring breaks at the lower first coil, ford has installed a shield to prevent related tire damage per nhtsa campaign id number: 04v332000 here is my point as plainly as i can put it. these springs will corrode at any location due to stone chips or other surface imperfections. as a result these springs have the potential to break at any location rendering the shield at the lower coil useless. the result could be a loss of vehicle control regardless of which, front or rear, position. should not ford motor company be mandated to at least inspect these parts for corrosion in other than the common point of failure, and if necessary replace them? ford has introduced replacement springs with improved corrosion resistant coatings, but in the case of the rear suspension springs on the same vehicles known to have similar failures, there is no current consumer protection mandated. please tell me that you are going to correct this issue. isn't it obvious that at best this problem is only half corrected! since when is that good enough? thanks for all your successes in the matter of motor vehicle safety! i hope this issue will soon be added to the list. bob zamost *tr .0 person(s) were injured. 0 person(s) died.Mileage was 88000 miles.

FORD TAURUS 2001 car safety problem was reported on Mar 02, 2008.FORD TAURUS 2001, manufactured by FORD MOTOR COMPANY had a problem with ELECTRICAL SYSTEM:BATTERY . i am a owner of a 2001 ford taurus which i bought used and have owned it now for 2 years. it is the first ford i have owned in over 20 years. since i have owned it, it has not given me too many problems, just the basic break downs like, batteries, brakes ,seized a/c compressor,coolant expansion tank cracked, ect. those things are going to break. but what has really upset me is how i have read about the coil springs breaking on the taurus and causing possible damage to the vehicle. i didn't think it would happen to me but after arriving home today i noticed a small piece of metal under my 01 taurus and after further observation i found it to be a piece of my rear coil spring from the drivers side. i am a 40+ year old male who has had many makes and models of different types of vehicles and have never had or heard of coil springs breaking as they do on the ford taurus. this is a problem that needs to be repaired by ford and not the consumer. so i can only expect that the rest of the springs are faulty and need to be replaced before i have any further damage to my vehicle. it seems to me that the ford company does not care about craftmanship or the consumers safety. so change your slogan " have you driven a ford lately" to " your riding on faulty coil springs". this is a serious problem that is a major safety issue and needs to be corrected free of charge to all ford taurus owners. *tr.0 person(s) were injured. 0 person(s) died.Mileage was 147000 miles.

FORD TAURUS 2001 car safety problem was reported on Mar 20, 2008.FORD TAURUS 2001, manufactured by FORD MOTOR COMPANY had a problem with SUSPENSION:REAR:SPRINGS:COIL SPRINGS . my mother owns a 2001 ford taurus, and we recently discovered that the rear, driver-side, coil spring has broken. fortunately, this did not cause any additional damage, such as a flat tire from the spring puncturing the tire and potentially causing an accident. several certified mechanics has informed me that this is "a common problem" with these coil springs on these and similar vehicles. i have also confirmed that there already exists a recall on the front coil springs that also have a similar problem. my understanding is that the dealerships are installing a "shield" on the front coil springs to prevent the spring from damaging the tire when the coil spring breaks. at that point, when the spring breaks, the dealerships will then replace the front coil springs at no charge. in my opinion, i feel the rear coil springs should fall under this same recall. i have got to believe that the front and rear coil springs are very similar in engineering design. at this point, the dealership is more than willing to install the rear coil springs at $385.02. *tr.0 person(s) were injured. 0 person(s) died.Vehicle Identification Number (VIN):1FAFP55UX1A.

FORD TAURUS 2001 car safety problem was reported on Apr 26, 2001.FORD TAURUS 2001, manufactured by FORD MOTOR COMPANY had a problem with VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL . i was driving my 2001 ford taurus and when i accelerated after pulling onto the highway from a parking lot, the car reached a speed somewhere between 50-60 mph and held that speed. the car is equipped with a cruise control, which i rarely use. i was not using it at the time. i applied the brakes, but the car held steady at the same speed. i drove approximately six miles in moderate traffic, damaging the brakes in the process, until i found an area where i could safely drive off the road without risk to myself or others. eventually, the car slowed to the point at which i could angle into a slight embankment and stop. i had the car towed to the ford dealership. they repaired the damage done to the brakes but kept the car for a week and still had some difficulty in identifying what caused the acceleration problem. they finally said that it had to do with the cruise control and disconnected it. the manager of the service department there commented that this was not a problem he¿d encountered before. they also found that the car idled at an unacceptably high rate and had some difficulty resolving that problem. i paid for the repairs and have been driving the car for nearly two weeks. there is still a problem with acceleration in that it will hold a speed for nearly a half mile or so, although the brakes will stop it. the fact that the service people at the dealership were so perplexed by the problem and were unable to fully eliminate it leads me to wonder if it might not be the result of some kind of factory defect, although i can¿t find anything about a recall. the car is seven years old and has nearly 114,000 miles on it. *tr .0 person(s) were injured. 0 person(s) died.Vehicle Identification Number (VIN):1FAFP55S31A.

FORD TAURUS 2001 car safety problem was reported on June 13, 2008.FORD TAURUS 2001, manufactured by FORD MOTOR COMPANY had a problem with SUSPENSION:REAR . as i was backing out of my driveway, i heard a sound from my car's rear end. after i turned around and returned home i smelled burning rubber and noticed pieces of rubber inside the wheel. i removed the wheel and saw that the strut spring had broken and was rubbing the inside sidewall of the tire away. if this had occurred on the highway, it very well could have been fatal. luckily i was in the neighborhood or my daughter was not driving. this is an extremely severe safety hazard that occurs without warning and will produce an uncontrollable car. i contacted the local ford dealer and also called ford's customer service hotline but they will do nothing about this hazard or will they help in the repair. the front springs were under a recall but i didn't know this until one of these failed. ford replaced the front springs after this happened. from looking at this site, there seems to be a problem with this component. *tr.Mileage was 88000 miles.

FORD TAURUS 2001 car safety problem was reported on Jan 01, 2009.FORD TAURUS 2001, manufactured by FORD MOTOR COMPANY had a problem with SUSPENSION:REAR . the failure is a broken left rear spring, requiring replacement of both rear springs. the old parts are not available. i would not say that the broken spring in my particular case caused immediate danger as the spring was still in the spring seat, however it is cause to fail a pa state safety inspection, and could have become dangerous if the spring was not replaced. the vehicle had 99,600 miles at the time of the failure. i can't pinpoint any specific events other than almost 100,000 miles of use in the salt belt. it is a common failure on the taurus, and mine broke later than many others. the front springs (which have not broken on my car) are covered under recall...the rears should be as well. *tr.0 person(s) were injured. 0 person(s) died.Mileage was 99600 miles.

FORD TAURUS 2001 car safety problem was reported on Mar 21, 2010.FORD TAURUS 2001, manufactured by FORD MOTOR COMPANY had a problem with SUSPENSION . i have a problem with my 2001 ford taurus that i feel is a safety issue. my concern with my vehicle is that i discovered that it has three broken springs, one of which came very close to causing damage to my tire, i discovered this after i heard a loud noise from the front of the car. upon investigating i discovered a broken front spring. following this i discovered both rear springs were broken as well. i thought it was very odd to have three broken springs on the same car. researching this problem on the web i found this to be a very common problem. i contacted a ford dealer for service and was informed that ford has extended the warranty period for the front springs but not the rear. i feel this is a safety issue and should require ford to recall and fix this problem. observing how close the spring was to making contact with the tire i feel there could have been severe consequences should the spring cause sudden tire failure. i believe that a springs sudden failure would have the potential to cause handling problems as well. again, three spring failures? it would appear this may be a manufacturing problem such as a defective heat treating process or inferior steel used in the manufacturing of the springs. *dt .Mileage was 122500 miles.

FORD TAURUS 2001 car safety problem was reported on Mar 10, 2010.FORD TAURUS 2001, manufactured by FORD MOTOR COMPANY had a problem with SUSPENSION . front springs on my 2001 ford taurus station wagon have broken, within a few months of each other. i thought that the problem was not common, but when i did some research on the internet i discovered that a recall notice was supposed to have been sent out in 2004. i did not receive that recall, even thought the car was registered with ford. note - these were clean breaks and not a result of the gradual deterioration of metal due to rust (caused by winter salt). the problem has not caused a crash, but my research found that in many cases the faulty springs broke through the spring seat and rupture the front tire. this problem has been documented as - 2000 ford taurus recall id from nhtsa: 04v332000 auto recall date: 20040715. although that defect applied to a model year 2000 taurus, the problem occurs in other model years. this is a serious safety hazard, particularly if the spring ruptures a front tire when the car is being driven on a highway. the problem has also been reported on rear springs, which have also punctured the tires. as such it should be mandatory for ford to issue a recall notice to all owners of taurus automobiles. this has not been done and will not be done unless nhtsa demands it. *tr.Mileage was 135000 miles.

FORD TAURUS 2001 car safety problem was reported on Apr 23, 2010.FORD TAURUS 2001, manufactured by FORD MOTOR COMPANY had a problem with SUSPENSION:REAR . vehicle is a 2001 ford taurus with a rear coil spring breakage issue. with not just a single broken spring. both rear coil springs are broken resulting in a considerable safety issue. i have managed to catch this problem before having the misfortune of having to replace both rear tires. i am a certified state inspector for the state of pennsylvania and i don't know about you guys but i see this as being a very dangerous and a pricey repair problem that has seemed to be happening quite often in the ford taurus 2001 model. im currently aware that ford recalled the front springs but it seems that the rear springs are exactly the same. there is definitely a durability issue with the front springs and it seems rear springs are made up of the same materials resulting in identical breakage and the rear coil springs are not to be overlooked. how often do you have a coil spring break on a mid sized car during normal driving? or even both coin springs breaking almost simultaneously? almost never.... i hope that fords rear springs that came stock with the 2001 taurus are put under recall because if not i can only guess that the tire company's have many unhappy ford customers heading their way with torn tires from rear coil springs breaking and puncturing tires and also some very costly suspension repairs. i ask you not take this suspension concern lightly. look at toyota. let make sure that ford is aware of this problem and have them issue a recall for these flawed rear coil springs. *tr.Mileage was 130000 miles.

Ford Taurus 2001 Latches/locks/linkages Review #10357216

FORD TAURUS 2001 car safety problem was reported on Aug 27, 2010.FORD TAURUS 2001, manufactured by FORD MOTOR COMPANY had a problem with LATCHES/LOCKS/LINKAGES . i first noticed the right rear door of my 2001 taurus was not unlocking with the automatic feature, about one year ago. thought that maybe one of my grandchildren had caused the problem. then, about one month ago, the same thing happened to the front passenger door. my grandchildren do not travel in the front compartment of my car. nor do i have very many passengers. also, my grandchildren have not been in my car much in the past 14 months, as they have moved to another county. i then had my mechanic check it out. he did some research and found that he could not order the parts to replace the door locking actuator. the part was out of stock, because a large number of other ford taurus owners were having the very same problem. i'm sorry that i did not contact you earlier. my mother had been in the hospital for a week, and i had lots of catching up to do. anyway, my mechanic did not recommend installing a used part, as the same thing would very likely happen. when i contacted ford motor company regarding this problem, i explained that i thought it was a safety issue. they pretty much told me "sorry for the inconvenience, lady ... but, you're on our own". in the event of an accident, i would not be able to unlock all doors on the right side of the car by way of automatic feature, either on the door handle or the hand-held remote. children are not always swift in being able to unlock a car door and then opening the door in an emergency. i feel that this is a safety issue and should be looked into. everyone that i have mentioned this problem to has said, without me mentioning the safety issue first, this was a serious safety issue. i look forward to your response to this matter. *tr.Vehicle Identification Number (VIN):1FAFP55UX1G.

FORD TAURUS 2001 car safety problem was reported on Mar 17, 2009.FORD TAURUS 2001, manufactured by FORD MOTOR COMPANY had a problem with SUSPENSION:REAR . my most recent contact with ford was highly unpleasant and discouraging. i own a 2001 ford taurus with 80,000 miles that had 2 front coil springs and 1 rear coil spring break. i contacted ford customer service to inquire what i needed to do regarding the recall on the coil springs; i gave my vin # to the agent and was told that this car does not have any recalls and ford could not offer me any service for the broken springs. i then contacted airport ford in florence, ky and explained what i was told by ford customer service and the 3 broken coil springs, they told me i could not be helped since ford customer service said that there was not any recalls on this vehicle. recall 04v332000 recalled the front coil springs and extended the warranty to 10 years or 150,000 mile, which this car is still covered. rather than continue driving an unsafe vehicle, i decided to get the car fixed. i had the coil springs, wheel bearings, ball joints, tie rods, drive shafts, and rotors replaced on this car. the 2 broken front coil springs destroyed each of these components by placing unnecessary stress on these components. the rear coil spring was inches away from puncturing the tire of this vehicle; this was an accident waiting to happen. i believe that at a minimum the front coil springs should have been replaced by ford due to the recall and extended warranty on these fractured springs; this cost me $343.12. i feel that ford should cover the total cost of this repair to make this vehicle whole again at my cost of $986.28. ford motor company¿s response to this complaint will make or break our mutual relationship. i look forward to hearing your response and hope a mutual agreement can be reached. *tr.Mileage was 80000 miles.

FORD TAURUS 2001 car safety problem was reported on May 08, 2011.FORD TAURUS 2001, manufactured by FORD MOTOR COMPANY had a problem with STRUCTURE . hello, i own a 2001 ford taurus and ever since the beginning of this summer, i have noticed that the driver's side floor board is constantly damp. i don't know if this dampness is coming from when it rains outside or if it has something to do with the a/c drainage hose being clogged. either way, i find this as a safety concern as major cords are underneath the carpeting and i feel unsafe knowing that water is collecting underneath the carpeting, making those cords wet, which could spark an electrical fire. i really would feel much safer getting this problem fixed but i have no idea where to begin. i truly believe this is a safety concern and would really like to get it fixed, if only i knew where to begin. thanks for your help with this matter. *kb.Mileage was 112000 miles.

FORD TAURUS 2001 car safety problem was reported on July 01, 2011.FORD TAURUS 2001, manufactured by FORD MOTOR COMPANY had a problem with STRUCTURE:FRAME AND MEMBERS . my 2001 ford taurus has been plagued by premature and excessive corrosion. i have previously filed for the coil springs snapping in half- now my frame has failed. while driving my car started swaying- i held the steering wheel tightly but the car wandered on it's on. upon inspection of the vehicle at home , it was obvious that frame failed. when the vehicle was inspected by a nys facility i was told that excessive rust was an issue. i was also told that they see this on the taurus regularly and have failed vehicles due to this issue. i contacted ford , they said out of warranty. they do not sell replacement frames and suggested i purchase an aftermarket frame and have repairs done. this is a huge safety issue. i have been driving for 37 years and was able to recognize that there was a safety issue with my vehicle, young new drivers without experience will continue to drive these vehicles. i am requesting that the nhtsa look in to the premature failure of major components in the taurus due to low grade material use. the ford company was required to recall minivans with this same issue- yet the taurus which ford says is one of its best selling vehicles has been completely ignored when it comes to safety and customer satisfaction. if this vehicle were manufactured by toyota it would have been recalled years ago. shame on the powers that be that allow this situation to continue. the car has not been repaired as new oe parts are not available, used parts are not an option due to the fact that they also will be rotted beyond use. i had a 1940s dodge parked in a farm field by a previous owner that had less rust than this vehicle had when it was under 5 years old. what does that say about quality? *kb.Mileage was 117569 miles.

FORD TAURUS 2001 car safety problem was reported on Sept 23, 2011.FORD TAURUS 2001, manufactured by FORD MOTOR COMPANY had a problem with POWER TRAIN . car became increasingly difficult to shift out of park. at this time the brake lights were working. found a work around on the internet that worked. also found a recall (04s12) for same problem but my vin was not covered and ford will not fix. however, they do not sell the stop light switch (which is most likely the part i need) by itself anymore. you must buy a more expensive kit that includes the stop light switch and wiring on the brake pedal. now my brake lights are completely out so we cannot drive the car. seems if ford won't sell just the switch then they are acknowledging that this is a safety issue and my car should be included in the recall. i found many other people with the same problem when i was looking for a solution to the shifting out of park problem. i have called ford twice but they basically say "sorry you are not part of the recall." and regarding whether there were a crash, if my daughter had kept driving it there most likely would have been one, as brake lights are pretty important. *tr.Mileage was 86000 miles.

FORD TAURUS 2001 car safety problem was reported on Apr 08, 2013.FORD TAURUS 2001, manufactured by Ford Motor Company had a problem with FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM . while driving under normal conditions at a steady speed, the car began to speed up rapidly, reaching near 55 mph within seconds. the engine stayed around 4,000 rpm and using the brakes only slowed the vehicle, but could not stop it. to avoid a crash, the only option i had was to shift the car into neutral and turn in to a parking lot. once in neutral, the engine's rpm remained close to 4,000. after turning the ignition off, i inspected under the hood of the car to find that the flimsy plastic piece that holds the cruise control cable in the proper position was broken in several places, leaving the cable free to get caught on what is left of the plastic piece extremely easily. since that incident, the exact same situation has happened several times. due to the plastic piece being broken, the cable does not sit inside the plastic piece as intended, which has caused the rpm to stay higher than normal at all times when the car is in gear. while driving, removing my foot from the accelerator pedal to begin decelerating before a stop has no effect, as if the cruise control is engaged at all times. slowing the vehicle can only be done by using the brakes. this situation came very suddenly with absolutely no prior signs or symptoms of any problem. the rapid, uncontrollable acceleration poses a severe safety threat to driver and anybody around the vehicle. luckily there was not any traffic when this happened to me, and there was a parking lot nearby to exit the road. if this happened while in moderate to heavy traffic, a crash would be very likely. this issue is unpredictable and has happened to me at highway speeds of 70 mph and at road speeds of 35 mph. i have since decided to park my car and not operate it until i can fix this problem because it is highly unsafe to drive in its current state. *tr.0 person(s) were injured. 0 person(s) died.Mileage was 184500 miles.
