FORD TAURUS 2003 car safety problem was reported on Nov 21, 2004.FORD TAURUS 2003, manufactured by Ford Motor Company had a problem with ELECTRICAL SYSTEM:STARTER ASSEMBLY:SOLENOID . i have a concern of regarding a safety issue on my 2003 ford taurus. i am not sure if this is the right place to lodge a complaint, but would direct me to the right source if not.*ak sunday, november 21, 2004, i changed oil on my 2003 ford taurus. like many vehicles i have changed oil on, i was not very pleased with the location of the oil filter. it is located beneath the manifold (extreme heat) and above the solenoid for the starter. it was the solenoid that i was suspicious about and that suspicion came true sunday evening. when you take off the oil filter, oil drips onto the solenoid. i cannot imagine why an engineer would allow a location for a flammable liquid to drip onto a power source. when i used a filter wrench to get the oil filter off, the wrench knocked off the protective cap that covers the power leads and ground to the solenoid. what happened after that was not a positive experience. the oil wrench and the power leads made contact and immediately started sparking. the sparks in turn started a fire in my engine compartment and melted the metal band that surrounds the oil filter wrench. as quickly as i could, i grabbed some rags and doused the fire. as far as i could see, no damage was done to the electrical wires. aside from getting shocked from the solenoid and getting minor burns i am okay. however, that is not the issue. what if i had not put the fire out? would the car and possibly my garage been engulfed in fire? i contacted the service department where i purchased the ford taurus (valley ford, fargo) and voiced my concern. the service technician agreed that this solenoid was in an awful place. he also said to make sure the protective cap was placed over the terminal leads of the solenoid again. please advise me as to what my next step is. or, is this a safety issue that i am overreacting to? i anxiously await your response. .Vehicle was on fire. 1 person(s) were injured. 0 person(s) died.Mileage was 23400 miles.

Ford Taurus 2003 Visibility Defroster/defogger System Windshield Blower

Ford Taurus 2003 Visibility Defroster/defogger System Windshield Blower Review #10125251

FORD TAURUS 2003 car safety problem was reported on June 13, 2005.FORD TAURUS 2003, manufactured by Ford Motor Company had a problem with VISIBILITY:DEFROSTER/DEFOGGER SYSTEM:WINDSHIELD:BLOWER . recently i noticed that there was water leaking into the passenger side floorboard after a heavy rain. a day later, my air conditioning stopped working and i could hear a gurgling sound coming from the system. i took it to the dealership and they told me that they had to install a "rainhat" kit over the cabin filter to prevent water from leaking into the blower motor by way of the cabin filter. well, the question becomes, why wasn't there anything there before? i went home and did some research and saw that ford issued the following tsb regarding the issue: 14 of 53: visibility:defroster/defogger system:windshield:blower bulletin date: aug 2004water in the blower case or on the passenger side floor, an inoperative climate control blower motor, a motor that operates on high speed only, and/or a blower motor resistor failure. vehicles built 5/1/2001 to 12/15/2003. *tt repair was $500. he's my concern. ford must have known there was design flaw if they (a) posted a tsb and (b) developed a "rainhat" kit to solve this problem. basically any owner that has a car built between those times will be doomed to pay this repair if they weren't lucky enough to have this fail before the warranty expired. i think that's absurd! i've talked with other owners and they were lucky enough to notice the leak before their blowers went out. the dealerships charged them upwards of $100 to install the "rainhat" kit. if i would have known that this was a problem i would have gladly paid $100 for the kit rather than $500. my dealership even admitted that this happens quite often, but they can't do anything about cost until ford issues a recall. again, this is a design flaw that needs to be addressed by ford. i don't believe it's right for the consumer to have to pay for a product design flaw. the safety concern here is of course the windshield defogger not being able to operate. .Ford Taurus 2003 problem was reported in LANSING, MI.

FORD TAURUS 2003 car safety problem was reported on Sept 15, 2005.FORD TAURUS 2003, manufactured by Ford Motor Company had a problem with VISIBILITY:DEFROSTER/DEFOGGER SYSTEM:WINDSHIELD:BLOWER . i had noticed some water leaking into the passenger side floorboard but could not determine it's source. apparently, a cowl (i may be misspelling) was cracked and leaking into the blower motor which caused the blower motor to fail. the $400 dollar repair is hefty but i don't have much choice. with a michigan winter right around the corner, a broken blower would be a huge safety issue as my windshield defrost won't work. the dealer said this is a common problem which sounds absurd for a car that is only two years old. apparently, ford has issued a technical service bulletin regarding this issue and developed a kit which solves the problem. they are aware of the problem and should not expect their customers to pay for an obvious design flaw which may compromise a passenger's safety. *nm.0 person(s) were injured. 0 person(s) died.Mileage was 84000 miles.

FORD TAURUS 2003 car safety problem was reported on Dec 06, 2005.FORD TAURUS 2003, manufactured by FORD MOTOR COMPANY had a problem with STRUCTURE . shortly after purchasing our 2003 ford taurus wagon, we noticed extensive water on the passenger side floor. we took car to newport ford, an authorized ford dealer. we were informed that there was a design defect which allowed water to overflow the rainhat and travel through the heater system to the floor. they "fixed" the problem under warranty. several months later, still under warranty, we noticed water on the passenger floor again. having moved, we took the car to howell motors of wright's corners, ny. they too were aware of the design defect, and were in possession of tsb # 04-15-3 which clearly indicates that this problem will lead to the failure of the blower motor, and/or blower motor resistor. we not being automobile mechanics, were not aware of the certainty of a defrost system failure. not knowing that this was a safety issue, we did not insist that they replace all the damaged components. last week, the defroster blower suddenly failed during the first snowstorm of the year. water and slush from passing traffic froze to the windshield reducing visibility to zero. was forced to limp home, stopping at gas stations to scrape and clean windshield. researched on internet, and learned that ford has issued a service bulletin for the exact problem we took the car in for twice while under warranty. took the car back to dealer and were informed that this was no longer a warranty issue, and were charged $ 267.26 for a new blower motor, to replace the one destroyed by the water pooling in the heater system. we argued that this should be covered by the warranty, as the car had been in twice previously, while under warranty, for the exact same problem. as the car was clearly unsafe to drive in upstate new york in the winter, we paid the dealer. ford is trying to pass this off as a "comfort" issue, while in reality, having zero visibility from the windshield is not only unsafe, but illegal in ny state. *nm .0 person(s) were injured. 0 person(s) died.Mileage was 2000 miles.

FORD TAURUS 2003 car safety problem was reported on Jan 22, 2006.FORD TAURUS 2003, manufactured by FORD MOTOR COMPANY had a problem with STRUCTURE . just like every one else. my heater blower quit working on all modes except high. then within a couple days high went out. i tested it and found the resistor to be bad, but when i by-passed it, the blower motor was also bad. that's when i knew there was more to the story than what i was seeing. i noticed that the resistor had rust on it. this was not good, when i opened the fan motor casing i found water in it. this is not supposed to happen. the seal is faulty (defective) . i researched and found out that there is a bulletin out on this at ford dealerships so ford is aware of this problem, but not obligated to tell customers. so if you still have a warranty it's covered only if you contact ford. if you do not have a warranty no longer than you are responsible to pay the bill. they have not put out a recall because not enough people have complained. most take it in to service and ford repairs and charges them, usually without telling them about the defective seal. i am currently fighting with the ford dealership and have called and made complaints. my vehicle is not fixed at the moment, but i am determined. they knew about this defective seal, but yet did not have the common courtesy to inform their customers and have the problem fixed before it cost approximately $400-$500 for those without warranty instead of saving the $300-$400 . something needs to be done about ripping off customers, and making them pay the price for another's knowing mistake. this leads to electrical problems and is a fire hazard lourie. *nm .0 person(s) were injured. 0 person(s) died.Vehicle Identification Number (VIN):1FAFP53233A.

Ford Taurus 2003 Exterior Lighting Brake Lights Switch Review #10196687

FORD TAURUS 2003 car safety problem was reported on May 10, 2006.FORD TAURUS 2003, manufactured by FORD MOTOR COMPANY had a problem with EXTERIOR LIGHTING:BRAKE LIGHTS:SWITCH . over a year ago, i noticed that it was hard to get the gear shift to move from the park position to drive or reverse in the 2003 ford taurus. no matter how hard i tried i could not get the car into gear. finally, something told me to push down on the brake pedal,hard, and then it would release. i would do this for a few days and then it would not happen again for months. each time that this occurred it would take longer and longer to get the car into gear, then again, it would disappear for months, then start all over again. i finally took the vehicle to a reputable repair shop, and it would not fail for them, but intrigued, they told me to bring it back whenever it occurred again. months later, you guessed it, the problem returned with a vengeance and lasted more than just a few days. the only way it would release is when i really stomped down on the brake pedal. back to the shop it went because my brake lights would not always work , but the turn signal would. that is a dangerous situation. this time the mechanics called ford who told them that they did have a problem with certain cars and asked for the vin #. for some reason, even though there was a technical bulletin, my vin # number did not fall under the recall, even though it was having the same problem. that makes no sense to me. even though this was not an expensive job, i feel that ford should reimburse me. after all, i did have the same problem. when the mechanics received the brake light switch to install, the part had been completely redesigned. that tells me that ford knew of the problem and addressed it, but only for certain vehicles with specific vin numbers. *ak.0 person(s) were injured. 0 person(s) died.Mileage was 32000 miles.

FORD TAURUS 2003 car safety problem was reported on May 28, 2009.FORD TAURUS 2003, manufactured by FORD MOTOR COMPANY had a problem with SUSPENSION:REAR . the rear spring on our 2003 ford taurus broke overnight. as we tried to drive it in the morning we heard a grinding noise coming out of the wheel well and pulled the car into the driveway. we removed the tire and discovered the spring had snapped and the jagged tip was grooving the inside sidewall of the tire. had this happened on the highway, it would surely have blown the tire. replacing both rear springs cost $590.07, and replacing the tire under a road hazard warranty cost another $86.78. the car has only 76,200 miles on it. in researching the problem on the internet we discovered this is a very common problem with front and rear springs on the ford taurus, all the way up through the 2004 models. for recent complaints, see: http://www.consumeraffairs.com/automotive/ford_springs.html does it take someone to die before something is done about this? these spring breaks often destroy the tires. my ford mechanic tells me they see these failures quite often, and admitted ford has a problem with their springs. why is nhtsa allowing this to continue? it would be a simple matter to ask all ford service departments how may of these failures they have seen. the website i gave you above should give you a sense of how bad this problem has become. *tr.Mileage was 76200 miles.

FORD TAURUS 2003 car safety problem was reported on July 28, 2003.FORD TAURUS 2003, manufactured by FORD MOTOR COMPANY had a problem with ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING . while driving at highway speeds (65-70) when accelerating to pass, car bucks violently (at 70k miles on odometer). also, random rough idling since date of purchase of vehicle in july 2003. after taking car in numerous times to dealership while under warranty and they were unable to diagnose even after hooking up recorder. did my own research on line and discovered a faulty camshaft synchronizer was the problem. this is a $400 repair that ford is aware of as there is a service bulletin on it. however, the failure rate is usually after the warranty expires making it the responsibility of the consumer. i have also personally spoken with a dozen taurus owners who have experienced the same problem. lodged a complaint with ford motor company who did not respond or follow through. very disappointed as this could pose a serious safety problem for consumers not to mention catastrophic engine failure if the synchronizer fails completely. if your taurus has a rough idle that is intermittent and the diagnostic says there is no code, it is probably this problem as the service bulletin from ford indicates that the cam synchronizer does not throw a code to the computer system. also, if your car bucks or hesitates on hard acceleration or there is a high pitched chirping sound, it is the cam synchronizer. if you take it to the dealer tell them what it is so they don't charge you an additional diagnostic fee that will show no problems! it's bad enough to have to pay $400 for a part that shouldn't fail, but does after the warranty expires. ford should have issued a recall on this and other vehicles that had the same problems (know to occur in the f150 as well). *tr.Mileage was 68454 miles.

FORD TAURUS 2003 car safety problem was reported on Jan 21, 2010.FORD TAURUS 2003, manufactured by FORD MOTOR COMPANY had a problem with SUSPENSION:FRONT:SPRINGS:COIL SPRINGS . i own a 2003 ford taurus station wagon. i had just completed a vacation 1000+ mile trip at highway speeds. several days later, while in a parking lot driving at a slow speed there occurred a loud metallic grinding sound, following immediately by a hiss noise with an instant collapse of my left front tire. i had the car towed into a local ford dealer, and the diagnosis was the left front spring had broken, slashing the inside of the left front tire. needless to say if this had occurred at highway speeds, the likelihood is that i would not be around to be entering this complaint. my repair cost was $1456.80, not covered by warranty. this raises a question: why not? an internet check showed this ford coil spring problem to be happening for years, despite it's obvious threat to lives! *tr updated ivoq 12/29/10*jb .Mileage was 66107 miles.

Ford Taurus 2003 Suspension Front Review #10339222

FORD TAURUS 2003 car safety problem was reported on June 18, 2010.FORD TAURUS 2003, manufactured by FORD MOTOR COMPANY had a problem with SUSPENSION:FRONT . when backing a 2003 ford taurus from its winter storage place in april of this year, a strange noise was heard coming from the left front of the vehicle and it took more power than it should have to back out. upon stopping the car after a few feet to see if something was under the car, it was noticed the left front tire was completely flat. after completely backing out of the close quartered garage and a better inspection of the tire and its removal, it was discovered the whole inside sidewall of the tire was torn and the tire was in two pieces. it was later discovered the left front coil spring was broken and the broken portion's point was responsible for ripping the tire. inquiries to the local ford dealer confirmed ford wouldn't do any sort of compensation for fixing this problem but did say he thought there was a recall some time ago but given the vin this vehicle he said it was not covered. after a $700+ fix at an independent garage the car was on the road for approximately six weeks when the rightside coil spring broke and did the same thing only this time it was being driven by it's 79 year old owner who fortunately was all most stopped to make left turn when it broke and she was able to get off on the shoulder of the road and called assistance. this vehicle has not yet been fixed a second time and the parts are available. the ford motor co. has not been called yet for any kind of financial help or service on this second incident yet. i would like to find out a little more about their responsibility, if any, before calling to them or ny state level consumer protection agencies. it is my belief this is an old and known problem to ford as many mechanics i have talked to know of many such identical incidents and it is not so uncommon that. there should be a permanent recall for something like this.

FORD TAURUS 2003 car safety problem was reported on Dec 16, 2010.FORD TAURUS 2003, manufactured by FORD MOTOR COMPANY had a problem with WHEELS . drivers side front coil spring in the strut broke and slashed the adjacent tire. this was noticed when the car was beginning to be backed out of a parking spot. we had to replace both strut assemblies for safety sake, replace the damaged tire as well. we opted to replace the other three tires due to wear. also, the garage recommended we replace the ball joints and lh side tie rod end. the front end was aligned as well. total cost $1871. i am outraged that there is a recall for 1999 thru 2001 taurus cars but nothing covering up to and including 2003's. i also think it is ridiculous that the cutoff to repair this problem occurs when a car exceeds 100000 miles. this is a known design defect and all ford taurus cars should have been recalled and repaired. my daughter was lucky this failure occurred in a parking lot and not when going 65mph! severe injury and death could have been the result and other people may have been involved! i implore nhtsa to force ford to engage in a retroactive recall for all affected taurus cars. it is inexcusable to have a design defect of this magnitude on the public highways. i can understand a broken spring can occur, but the complaints clearly show that the spring then slashes the tire, causing an immediate blowout and potential loss of control of the vehicle. .Mileage was 133038 miles.

FORD TAURUS 2003 car safety problem was reported on Feb 19, 2011.FORD TAURUS 2003, manufactured by FORD MOTOR COMPANY had a problem with SUSPENSION:FRONT . the car is my daughters. i maintain and service the car. the car is a 2003 ford taurus. a week ago both front springs failed at once, and subsequently cut the insides of both front tires causing them to blow out. fortunately the tires failed in the driveway and not while she was on the highway commuting to or from work. i called the ford dealer and asked if there was a recall on this failure. the person said that the 'oasis' system did not show any recalls on the specific vin. i then arranged for the car to be towed to my local mechanic (who previously worked at the local ford dealer for over 15 years), since the ford dealer is excessively expensive. he said that the broken springs (both) twisted in such a way as to cut both the front tires on the inside side wall. he also had to replace a sway bar link (broken in the spring failure), and both front struts blown out when the broken springs allowed all the cars weight to bottom out on the struts. the car is currently at the tire shop getting two replacement tires (the blown out ones had 70% tread remaining) and a front end alignment. this failure could have been catastrophic had it happened at higher speed or on the highway. this is an extreme safety hazard and should be investigated by the nhtsa. i'm aware that the failure of springs on ford's taurus/sable, escort/tracer, and other ford models is not uncommon and has been a problem over the years. this specific type of failure, where the tires are cut and blowout is extremely dangerous and should be investigated asap. i have notified fomoco as well. *tr.Mileage was 125000 miles.

FORD TAURUS 2003 car safety problem was reported on Dec 10, 2010.FORD TAURUS 2003, manufactured by FORD MOTOR COMPANY had a problem with SUSPENSION:FRONT . while parked in my garage the front end of my 2003 ford taurus collapsed. upon inspection the tire was fully deflated. i put the small spare on the vehicle and drove it to a local repair service. upon inspection it was determined the front coil spring fractured causing a sharp shard to penetrate the tire. the spring broke into two extremely sharp pieces. the same exact thing happened with my 1993 ford taurus a number of years back. i also filed a complaint with the nhtsa. i can only think what might have happened if i was driving my car on the highway when the piece broke and cut through my tire. i was again fortunate that nothing happened when i was driving on the small spare to the repair ship. i contacted ford motor company who responded with a general "brush off" letter and not recognizing any of the safety concerns i expressed!!! on both cars!!!! i had the car repaired at my own expense including a replacement tire. i have saved the part (spring/coil) if further inspection is required by nhtsa. *tr.Mileage was 73819 miles.

FORD TAURUS 2003 car safety problem was reported on Dec 04, 2007.FORD TAURUS 2003, manufactured by FORD MOTOR COMPANY had a problem with SUSPENSION . i heard from an acquaintance that there were several issues posted on the nhtsa website regarding the failure of coil springs on the ford taurus. i too experienced the complete loss of control of my 2003 taurus while driving in heavy traffic due to coil spring failure. with the initial jolt and subsequent dragging of the car to bring it to a safe area to bring the car to a stop, i actually thought i had hit a person or large object. when i got out of my car i found the the front end of the car sitting on top of my tire. my mechanic actually took pictures of the car as he could not believe the amount of damage that had occurred. i had to replace the struts, springs, sway bar links, lower ball joint and axle shaft. all of this at 61k miles!! for a cost of $1300.00. in closing, my 2003 ford taurus has been involved in 2 serious malfunctions posted to the nhtsa website which could have easily resulted in serious injury or death to myself or fellow motorists if i was not able to react quickly and control the car with a complete collapse of the front end or complete loss of power with the transmission failure (ref #fbn24-10467). both of these issues occurred within 4 months (5k miles) of each other (66k - 71k) and cost in excess of $4,000.0 to repair. given the number of coil spring complaints received by the nhtsa and the open investigation (nhtsa action number: ea08018) , i would think either ford or the national highway transportation safety administration take responsibility and issue a notification of these serious issues with this car (and the other year/models listed in nhsta action # ea08018)) and the steps to remediate those issues before the issue causes serious injury or death. .Mileage was 66936 miles.

FORD TAURUS 2003 car safety problem was reported on Sept 17, 2011.FORD TAURUS 2003, manufactured by FORD MOTOR COMPANY had a problem with POWER TRAIN . i own a 2003 ford taurus with 85,172 miles on it. on a recent trip out of town, the transmission went out with no warning,and we had to be towed home over 100 miles. after some research ,i have found that many owners of 2003 ford taurus' have had the same problem with no warning of the transmission going out. it appears to be an internal problem in the transmission itself. i found 164 complaints on the car complaints/ford website concerning this transmission problem. it cost me over $3600 to have the transmission replaced. that is over half what the blue book value is on my car! i want to know if ford has looked into this problem on the transmissions? with that many 2003 ford taurus transmissions going out, seems to me there should be an investigation or a recall on them. i would appreciate someone checking into this problem. i really love my taurus, but am very upset that the transmission went out on a car that has been taken care of by ford dealerships for everything from oil changes to brakes, air conditioner, etc. always had the service done at the intervals that ford motor company determined needed to be done. the ford dealership is the only ones that have done any service on my car other than tires.i feel that i have done everything to keep my car in perfect condition and am terribly disappointed that this problem happened. please would you check into this problem and see if there should be a recall on these transmissions?? this is a safety issue to me! if the car had stopped while we were driving 70 mph on the freeway, it could have been deadly to us and others! thank you! *tr.Mileage was 85172 miles.

FORD TAURUS 2003 car safety problem was reported on Apr 15, 2008.FORD TAURUS 2003, manufactured by FORD MOTOR COMPANY had a problem with POWER TRAIN:AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION . i purchased a new ford taurus se in 2003. after only 30,000. miles on the odometer my transmission failed on the freeway. i had it towed to goodyear and a mechanic confirmed that the transmission failed and referred me to transmission specialist. my quote to have the transmission rebuilt was $3,000. i believe that this falls under "catastrophic mechanical failure" and i should not have to pay to get this situation rectified. i contacted ford customer relationship center and requested that the car be replaced with a new taurus or a new transmission with warranty and the repair of any collateral damage as a result of the car sitting in my garage since 2008, i was told that nothing could be done because the warranty expired two months before the transmission failed. i was nearly killed as i tried to navigate from the freeway to the shoulder. in essence i paid $1,000. per mile for the life of this car. 2003 was one of ford's worst year for transmission failure. this transmission should have been recalled. to have such a major component fail after owning the car 5-years and just 30,000. miles is a travesty. in conclusion, i would like to know how many owners died as a result of this transmission failure and hope that we can receive assistance for this travesty by an american auto company's lack of responsibility. this is not right and i don't know how a company can get away with this , to me, is an illegal act that should not be tolerated! *tr updated ivoq 07/09/12 the consumer also reported transmission failures experienced by other consumers. updated ivoq 07/23/12.Mileage was 30000 miles.

FORD TAURUS 2003 car safety problem was reported on Jan 18, 2010.FORD TAURUS 2003, manufactured by FORD MOTOR COMPANY had a problem with VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL . i have a 2003 ford taurus. in the past, i've had the pedal stick and the car will accelerate on it's own. when i pushed on the brakes, it takes me about 3 times as long to stop the car and once it's stop it is still trying to go and the rpm was above 3. i was also pushing the brakes as hard as i could and the car was still trying to go. the first time this happened was in the winter of 2010. it happened roughly 5 times in the winter of 2010 and 3-4 times in the winter of 2011. it did not happen in 2012 due to the warm winter climate, at least that is my guess. i also remember it happening when it was very cold outside. the one time it was around 0 degrees. it felt like the pedal would get stuck. the only way i could get it to stop would be to aggressively keep pushing the pedal and then it would get unstuck. one time i let it go to see how far it could speed up on it's own i got it to 50 mph without pushing the pedal before i got nervous and was able to get it to stop. i've also noticed in the past that the pedal sometimes will feel like it will get stuck but in those cases the car won't accelerate on it's own like i explained above. i brought all of this to the dealer's attention but they wrote me off and said it could have been due to the cold. i never thought to report it till i heard about other incidents similar to mine recently in the news. *tr.Vehicle Identification Number (VIN):1FAFP55S83A.

FORD TAURUS 2003 car safety problem was reported on Nov 25, 2009.FORD TAURUS 2003, manufactured by FORD MOTOR COMPANY had a problem with VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL . on wednesday, november 25, 2009, i was driving my parents 2003 ford taurus sel around town, doing last minute shopping for thanksgiving, when all of a sudden the car took off, as if the gas pedal had gotten stuck. my mother was in the front passenger seat and i told her what was happening. i tried stepping on the gas pedal to see if it had gotten stuck, but that did not help and i was getting very concerned. i kept my foot on the brake and then put the car into a lower gear and then into neutral, all the while, the engine continued racing, and turned off the engine. it took me almost two blocks to get the car stopped. i immediately called the auto club for a tow truck, as there was no way i was going to turn the engine back on. i then called my father and told him what happened and he proceeded to come down to where we were. the tow truck came and the driver was the one who found that the plastic housing that holds the cruise control cable had broken and the cable slipped back and was wedged-up against the side of the broken housing. i took photos of this. the car was taken up to our mechanic. the cruise control has never been used. we contacted the ford customer service who took all the information and gave us case number 0436723349. they told us to take the car to the dealership to have the part replaced. my parents took the car to the dealer, but they only offered to replace the part; however, we wanted someone to witness it and see what it looked like before the part was taken off and discarded and we would have had no way to prove it even happened. they just wanted my parents to leave the car all day to have it checked out, but my father opted to take it back to our mechanic who would save the part and give it to my father..Vehicle Identification Number (VIN):1FAHP56S23A.

FORD TAURUS 2003 car safety problem was reported on Apr 03, 2012.FORD TAURUS 2003, manufactured by FORD MOTOR COMPANY had a problem with POWER TRAIN . car was slowly approaching red signal at major busy traffic intersection. while car was still moving, signal turned green. but, with neither unusual sounds nor other advance warnings, the engine lost all ability to transmit power to the transmission, creating an urgent emergency situation for safely transiting the intersection as well as bringing the car to a full controlled stop out of way of considerable fast moving traffic. then had to deal with my visually-handicapped wife and significant foodstuffs just purchased, plus tow arrangements to our ford dealer. ford service determined cause clearly resulted from catastrophic failure of faulty torque converter because of stripped splines. repairs cost over $1,300 just for torque converter replacement. however, transmission could still fail suddenly from undiscovered internal damage caused by broken torque converter, requiring significant additional cost for rebuilt transmission. now, it's like a "russian roulette" experience each time we get in the car, something two elderly seniors really are not well-equipped to deal with!.0 person(s) were injured. 0 person(s) died.Mileage was 24928 miles.

FORD TAURUS 2003 car safety problem was reported on Apr 01, 2012.FORD TAURUS 2003, manufactured by FORD MOTOR COMPANY had a problem with POWER TRAIN . as i accelerated after stopping at a stop sign , there was a noise, the car coasted a short distance and stopped. i could not put the car in drive or reverse. i had no warning of this failure, no slippage or noises, and had i been in traffic, i would surely have been hit in the rear by any car behind me. i understand this is a common problem with the taurus and shudder to think how many accidents may have been caused by similar failures. i am the original owner of this vehicle and have religiously followed ford's recommendations for service. i realize this is a 2003 vehicle, but with only 52,000 miles i did not expect this failure. i received estimates up to $2600 to repair, but was told by one knowledgeable and honest mechanic, that the torque converter is usually the cause of transmission failure in a car with low mileage, dismantling proved the converter to be the problem. by rebuilding my transmission i saved a substantial sum, but this information is not easily available to consumers; leading many to spend more money than necessary to repair. although well past any warranty, i do feel the transmission was inferior. this repair might have been covered if i were a high mileage driver. *tr.Mileage was 52000 miles.

FORD TAURUS 2003 car safety problem was reported on Nov 01, 2011.FORD TAURUS 2003, manufactured by Ford Motor Company had a problem with VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL . 3 occurrences of throttle sticking open when attempting to accelerate when either passing or merging onto express-way. the first occurrence was when passing a vehicle on a road shortly after a full stop going about 35-45 mph the vehicle continued to accelerate even when pumping the breaks. the 2nd time was not until about 6-8 months later while accelerating rather quickly to merge safely into traffic on an expressway and the car continued to accelerate. slowly at first and then after getting off at next exit i barely was able to apply the breaks to pull over. i was able to shut it down and after a few minutes attempted to start car and the accelerator raced so i immediately shut it down again. after waiting 10 min. or so i was able to restart the car and it performed like nothing had happened. i was in an area of detroit that i was not going to stay there unless i had to so i again drove making sure i slowly accelerated until getting up to expressway speed. the 3rd occurrence happened in much the same way the 1st one happened. i think my response was different this time in that i did not attempt to pump the accelerator to try and unstick. if memory serves me i went into a coast mode until i saw the tack come down to a normal rpm speed. after the 2nd occurrence i removed the floor mat from the drivers side, so i know that after it happened the 3rd time it definitely was not the result of a jammed floor mat. the weather on all 3 occasions was not wet. the 2nd and 3rd happened during this past summer. no repairs have been made although we were going to have this looked at before winter. *tr.0 person(s) were injured. 0 person(s) died.Mileage was 98500 miles.

FORD TAURUS 2003 car safety problem was reported on Apr 20, 2014.FORD TAURUS 2003, manufactured by Ford Motor Company had a problem with POWER TRAIN . our daughter had planned to come home for a family gathering on easter sunday and indicated she was leaving dekalb, il and would be taking the interstate 88 toll way to dixon. shortly after she had called, she phoned again to say that her car suddenly went out of gear as she was driving to get on the toll way. the car engine raced has the car started to slow down. fortunately, she was able to coast off on to a side road and stop the car. according to the web site www.carcomplaint.com, 292 complaints have been submitted since 2012 for this same transmission failure. to my surprise, further research showed there has not been a recall. this appears to be a faulty transmission design issue which could easily result in personal injury or death. thankfully our daughter���s car had not lost the transmission while driving on the interstate. she could have easily been tail ended and seriously injured or killed. this transmission problem presents a serious safety problem and warrants a manufacturer recall. our daughter fears that if the transmission is replaced or requires a major part, it will likely contain the same flaw as the original transmission. she says she does not feel she can ever feel safe driving the car on the interstate or chicago freeways where she visits her friend. ford needs to furnish a reliable and safe replacement transmission by order of the national safety administration. the high potential for injury or death dictates immediate action. *tr.0 person(s) were injured. 0 person(s) died.Mileage was 72000 miles.

FORD TAURUS 2003 car safety problem was reported on Apr 18, 2014.FORD TAURUS 2003, manufactured by Ford Motor Company had a problem with POWER TRAIN . i was driving down a main highway when my rpm's dropped (as if car was going to stall), there was a loss of power and then the car would not accelerate. as i was in a area where there was a lot of traffic i had to ease my way over to be able to get the vehicle off of the road. the engine was still running, but as i tried to accelerate there was no power. the shifter on the column just goes up and down and does not engage in any gear. everyone that i have consulted seems to think that it is an issue with the transmission. i have since done research only to find out that this is a known problem with these cars. had i known that i would never have purchased it. on one website alone there were 293 cases reported of the same transmission failure and ford has refused to do anything about this known problem. my dad worked for ford for almost 40 years before retiring. we have always driven fords and have never had an issue like this with any of our vehicles. i am sure that my dad is turning over in his grave right now at the poor quality of the taurus and the known issues which ford is aware of, but has never done anything to rectify it with taurus owners. who can afford to go out and buy a brand new car in this day and age? even worse yet, who would want to sink the amount of money it would cost for a repair job on a transmission into a car that isn't worth much more value wise. i am very disappointed with ford! i am a single female in her 60's that can't afford the repairs or to go out and buy another vehicle at this time. i am still working and also drive a half hour one way to go to college 4 days a week. now what do i do? shame on you ford for not standing behind your products!.0 person(s) were injured. 0 person(s) died.Mileage was 111345 miles.
