FORD TAURUS 2005 car safety problem was reported on Feb 05, 2008.FORD TAURUS 2005, manufactured by FORD MOTOR COMPANY had a problem with POWER TRAIN:AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION . i started having problems with the transmission of my taurus less than one month after having the vehicle inspected and the trans flushed at a dealership as part of my lease-end purchase option (i leased the car for 3 years prior to purchasing it). the car was past the warranty at 64,500 miles and i did not purchase an extended warranty. i returned to the dealership to find out what was wrong. after running their diagnostic test, i was told that something had failed in the transmission but they were not sure what failed. they offered to diagnose the problem by breaking down the trans at a minimum of 10 hours labor at $88.00 an hour. i contacted ford customer service for some assistance and was denied because they had no record of my car ever being repaired at any dealership during the life of my lease. i had no problems with my vehicle's operation prior to the transmission being flushed, so there was no reason to take it in for repairs. i had my oil changed every 3000 to 5000 miles and all fluids checked on a regular basis (not at the dealership). i took my car to a licensed transmission shop and had the trans rebuilt for $1,200.00 the technician told me the failed part was a boost valve in the valve body. they rebuilt the torque converter and installed a new overhaul kit and the boost valve. eight days after picking up my car, i had to return to the transmission shop because the car was hard to start, the check transmission light came on continuously and the service engine light came on and stayed on. the technician informed me that these problems had nothing to do with the trans but was the mlps (manual lever position sensor) which i had them replace at a cost of $75.00. i was told by the technician that this sensor had gone bad and caused my initial transmission problems. this was a small, plastic part that the dealership missed somehow during their so-called inspection of the vehicle. *tr.0 person(s) were injured. 0 person(s) died.Mileage was 64500 miles.

FORD TAURUS 2005 car safety problem was reported on May 10, 2010.FORD TAURUS 2005, manufactured by FORD MOTOR COMPANY had a problem with ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING . i am writing you to notify you of the problems i have had with my 2005 ford taurus (vin # [xxx]). the car currently has approximately 66,000 miles on it. i took my car for service and the technician notified me that the timing gear gasket was leaking coolant. the technician knew about this problem and that it is common for ford engines to start leaking at this spot around 60,000 miles. the dealer wants approximately $700.00 to fix the leak. another problem i had with the car happened last winter when the check engine light came on and i took the car in for service and was told this was a common problem with ford and there was a technical service bulletin on it. a tune up was performed at a cost to me of $416.91. i was told that if the tune up didn't solve the problem then the computer would need to be re-flashed at the cost of $200.00. i previously sent ford motor company an e-mail about this but never received a response. i don't feel it is right for a vehicle to have these sorts of problems at only 66,000 miles and i believe that the gasket is a poor design. the dealer advised me that he was going to put on an after market gasket and it would be of better quality than the one that it in their now. these problems substantially impairs both the use and value of my car. information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u.s.c. 552(b)(6) *tr.Mileage was 66000 miles.

Ford Taurus 2005 Vehicle Speed Control Review #10334689

FORD TAURUS 2005 car safety problem was reported on June 02, 2010.FORD TAURUS 2005, manufactured by FORD MOTOR COMPANY had a problem with VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL . i have been in the automobile service industry for the past 40+ years as a technician, technician trainer, service manager, and shop owner. in my present capacity i manage a service department for a franchise which supplies used vehicles to the supreme credit market. the number one selling vehicle for us is the 2000 - 2006 ford taurus. in the last 6 months i have had two complaints of sudden vehicle acceleration for no apparent reasons. after test driving the vehicles and duplicating the complaints i found that the cruise control cable end which connects to the throttle linkage becomes unable to remain connected to the throttle lever tab on the throttle body linkage due to wear over time. when it becomes disconnected it will catch on the throttle linkage tab during deceleration at times and cause the idle speed to stay elevated even the accelerator pedal is not applied, the increase in rpm causes intake manifold vacuum to decrease which decreases the power brake booster assist, this coupled with the increased rpm makes the vehicle extremely difficult to stop. i am aware of one possible occurrence which may have resulted in an accident. i believe it would be in the interest of a multitude of motorists to look into this potential safety issue. *tr.Vehicle was involved in a crash.

FORD TAURUS 2005 car safety problem was reported on Feb 23, 2010.FORD TAURUS 2005, manufactured by FORD MOTOR COMPANY had a problem with ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING . while driving home from work in my 2005 ford taurus i experienced the following sudden acceleration problem: i was stopped in heavy traffic with my foot on the brake. i then felt the car start to vibrate and the car started to lurch forward. i pressed harder on the brakes and noticed the rpm's were climbing from 900 to over 1500. i tried restarting the engine but when i put the car in neutral or park the rpm's suddenly accelerated to over 4000 and climbing. the engine was "screaming" and there was a burning smell. i tried tapping the gas pedal to see if it was stuck but that didn't help. as i couldn't pull off due to bumper to bumper traffic over the bridge, i had to ride the brakes all the way home. once home we popped the hood and found that a throttle cable had come off for no reason. what angers me besides that i could have died or been seriously injured causing a major crash, is that there is no safely. if the cable comes off why is it accelerating, it should have slowed or not moved as it would have been in a neutral position. why hasn't this been recalled?! it seems to be a continuously reported problem for this car. how is it that only the 2005 taurus model has absolutely no recalls but every year around 2005 has a recall?!? what takes so damn long to recall this obviously dangerous defect?!? i have taken video of my ride home so it proves that no, i did not have my foot on the gas, no, i did not have a car mat stuck under the gas pedal, no i did not hit the gas pedal thinking it was the brake!!!!!!!! even with the cable reattached there is still occasional unintended rpm increase and engine surges. this is damn scary to drive and wonder when it will happen again. get this recalled already!!! *tr.Mileage was 48000 miles.

FORD TAURUS 2005 car safety problem was reported on Dec 15, 2010.FORD TAURUS 2005, manufactured by FORD MOTOR COMPANY had a problem with ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING . this happened in a 2005 ford taurus se sedan with the 3.0l vulcan v6 flex-fuel engine. car was just hitting 85,000 when the problem appeared. car began to make a squealing noise- which turned out to be the belt beginning to wear heavily. it was changed, and the noise became even worse. now an added clunking sound began to manifest itself. it was found out to be the a/c compressor beginning to break. in fact, a nut or something had become lose, which was the clunking noise i heard. the whole compressor had to be replaced and filled (so i can use the a/c.) and a new belt had to be bought as well. if this compressor wasn't replaced, it would have failed- causing it to seize, the belt to break, and my engine to quickly overheat and probably crack. it took around 2 hours to replace everything- including letting the broken a/c compressor out. illegal, but i could not afford taking it to the dealer and getting charged $800+ so i had my brother in law do it. altogether i spent around $350 for parts and labor. i later learned, from my mechanic friend, that taurus' hitting around 80k have this same a/c compressor failure like clockwork. it's a common problem, that is expensive, and should have been fixed if it is known what causes it. *tr.Mileage was 85000 miles.

FORD TAURUS 2005 car safety problem was reported on Apr 26, 2011.FORD TAURUS 2005, manufactured by FORD MOTOR COMPANY had a problem with VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL . i have a 2005 ford taurus that has recently (since yesterday) started accelerating on its own. when the brake is applied it slows down some, but will not stop completely. i have adjusted the throttle, and it would start up just fine after that, but would resume the issue shortly thereafter. i feel extremely unsafe. the only thing that helps even though it is of minimal assistance is pressing down the gas pedal and releasing it while driving. even then sometimes the rpm's will stay between 4-5,000. the only way to shut it off and park safely is to brake to the floor, put the car in neutral where the rpm's go over 4,000 and shut off the car. after reading all of these similar instances, i feel that there is a problem with this model. it is extremely dangerous. *tr.Mileage was 81000 miles.

FORD TAURUS 2005 car safety problem was reported on May 18, 2011.FORD TAURUS 2005, manufactured by FORD MOTOR COMPANY had a problem with VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL . vehicle started accelerating at various times, tapping the accelerator seemed to help. took the car twice to the same ford dealership, they cleaned the idle control motor because it was dirty. ford said if it acts up again the idle control would have to be replaced. i decided to take it to another non-ford mechanic and within (2) minutes he had the answer. the cruise control was hanging open on the throttle plate. i had him disconnect the cruise control, believe me, i was very apprehensive about this. in the mean time i had them order another cruise control cable. it took about a week to arrive, but i had no sudden accelerations what so ever. i decided not to have the new one put on. it is now september, and i have had no sudden accelerations since mid may. i wanted to be certain that this was the obvious answer to this problem before i filed a complaint. *tr.Mileage was 47500 miles.

FORD TAURUS 2005 car safety problem was reported on Nov 26, 2011.FORD TAURUS 2005, manufactured by FORD MOTOR COMPANY had a problem with POWER TRAIN:AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION . the transmission on my six year old vehicle failed after only 79,000 miles. there are multiple reported incidents of transmission failure for the 2005 ford taurus (please see http://www.carcomplaints.com/ford/taurus/2005/transmission/transmission_failure.shtml for a list of similar incidents). i believe that nhtsa needs to conduct a full investigation of ford motor company to ensure that it is following safety and construction standards. surely, a defective and faulty transmission is not what consumers should expect when purchasing a vehicle. i notified ford motor company about this issue, and they refuse to take responsibility for the construction of their vehicle. this is a very dangerous defect, and could cause serious injury and loss of human life. since ford refuses to acknowledge its responsibility for the issue, i expect the nhtsa, as a government agency, to fulfill its responsibility to consumers to investigate the construction and safety of 2005 ford taurus transmissions. i appreciate your response, and i am willing to provide any necessary additional information. *kb.Mileage was 79000 miles.

FORD TAURUS 2005 car safety problem was reported on Dec 05, 2011.FORD TAURUS 2005, manufactured by FORD MOTOR COMPANY had a problem with VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL . for the past few months, i have had multiple issues with my taurus not wanting to slow down. i would be driving, and release the gas pedal, either to come to a stop or enter a slower speed area, and it would just keep accelerating. the first time, i was driving back to work on lunch, and was going approx 45 miles an hour. suddenly, it kept accelerating and i was going almost 60! i tried to press on the brake, and it didn't work. my car just kept going. coming to a stop light, i had to pound on the brakes, and hold them down extremely hard - while my car was fighting me to keep going. i pulled onto a side street, and brought my car to a stop, and put it in park - and it still kept trying to accelerate! it went up to over 4 rpm!. i had to stomp on my gas, as if i was revving my engine and it unfroze and went back to normal. i drove back to work thinking i was going to die!!! i was terribly afraid to drive my car, but it was my only way to go to and from work. i'm just thankful michigan had a very mild winter, because if this happened on the snowy roads, i don't know if i would have been ok. the next times it happened, i shifted my car into neutral while driving, and slammed on my gas to unstick the problem, but i am extremely scared that this wont always work! i brought it to a mechanic, who told me it was most likely a throttle issue - then talked to a worker at the ford dealership by my work at a networking event. unfortunately, i have been trying to save up money to get it fixed, but i haven't been able to yet. my car is fairly newer (not a 1995) and i shouldn't be scared to death to drive my car! *tr.Mileage was 77000 miles.

FORD TAURUS 2005 car safety problem was reported on Dec 10, 2011.FORD TAURUS 2005, manufactured by FORD MOTOR COMPANY had a problem with VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL . we purchased this used 2005 ford taurus vehicle from a neighbor who stated that he has had "a problem with the accelerator occasionally getting stuck, and he frequently keeps it lubricated to help with the problem", upon the test drive prior to our purchase we did not encounter the problem so we purchased it with 87,886 miles on it. we immediately started having problems that week when we started driving it on a daily basis. the problems that we had were sudden acceleration at low driving speeds of 25 miles per hr. that resisted and would not slow down upon braking and only slowed down upon hard braking and by putting the car in neutral, this sudden acceleration also occurred at speeds of 35 miles per hr. and while the car was in park !!! there was no correlation between this sudden acceleration and the gas pedals position. we went online to investigate the problem and found out that numerous car owners have had the same complaints, but nothing has been done about it all these years, one person online recommended disconnecting the cruise control because it worked for him. we immediately disconnected the cruise control and the problem with the sudden acceleration ceased, but every once in a while the car's engine gets a sudden surge like it is being "rev ved up". it would be nice to have a vehicle that performed properly and was not a safety danger on the road. i am alarmed at how many other ford tauruses are out there in inexperienced driver's hands who are not informed enough to have the cruise control disconnected, or who can not think quick enough to put the car in neutral while braking. i shudder thinking about all the teen and elderly drivers i pass on the road driving these cars. we really miss our cruise control too! please act on this asap!!! *tr.0 person(s) were injured. 0 person(s) died.Mileage was 87886 miles.

FORD TAURUS 2005 car safety problem was reported on Dec 05, 2011.FORD TAURUS 2005, manufactured by FORD MOTOR COMPANY had a problem with VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL . i am one of those people who are having a problem with the cruise control and/or accelerator sticking while driving. my problems started on december 5, 2011. i work for ford, and was on my way to work at michigan assembly. i pulled up to a stoplight on us-12 about 8 am, and my car was idling at 3800 rpm! it seemed that something let go after that. since then, it has stuck here and there. i almost hit a suv in front of me yesterday, and almost blew through a stoplight the night before on the way home. i had to literally stand on the brakes! i have done a little research, and believe that the problem is more than just a sticking cable. i unplugged the connection from the brain box to the servo, and that seemed to alleviate the problem somewhat. unfortunately, it also eliminates the horn! blipping the accelerator sometimes helps, but the other day when i did it, the pedal felt mushy and unresponsive for the three times that it stuck. i think that ford should replace the whole assembly in anyone's car that has experienced this problem. it can be very dangerous! it seems that the components wear out after so many years. due to vibration or environment, i'm not sure. i have replaced every sensor in the intake tract. i took it to a garage last week. they had it for a full day, did a compression test, and scanned the computer 3 times. they could not find any vacuum leaks. it still idles at 550 rpm, as it has since december 2011, instead of the normal 800 rpm that the computer insists that it is idling at! *tr.Vehicle Identification Number (VIN):1FAHP56U65A.

FORD TAURUS 2005 car safety problem was reported on Nov 23, 2011.FORD TAURUS 2005, manufactured by FORD MOTOR COMPANY had a problem with VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL . a member of my family was approaching a regulated intersection and slowing down in the left turn lane. the traffic light was red. his foot was on the brake and he was slowing down but felt the engine still revving. he checked the tachometer and saw it was around 3000 rpm. he stopped, held his foot on the brake, shifted into neutral and repeatedly tapped the accelerator. after a few taps, the throttle "released" and the engine resumed a normal idle. he proceeded to drive home about 1/2 mile with no further incident. earlier on the drive that same day, he noted that the speed control was not working. once the vehicle was home, we took off the cover near the throttle assembly and discovered that the cable from the vehicle speed control system had come off the throttle at it's attachment point. i also noticed that the cable end is held onto the throttle arm with a plastic detent. it was very easy to put the cable end onto the throttle assembly and was also quite easy to remove it (required very little force). because we were not able to simulate the incident it is not possible to be sure of the cause. but one very likely cause is the speed control cable being in the pathway of the throttle arm as it rotates to allow the throttle to reach idle location. if it got in the way, the result likely would have been as noted above. prior to this incident, there had been no indication of throttle sticking. *tr.Mileage was 102500 miles.

FORD TAURUS 2005 car safety problem was reported on Aug 01, 2011.FORD TAURUS 2005, manufactured by FORD MOTOR COMPANY had a problem with VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL . the issue started as a throttle sticking closed. this required a harder than normal push to get the throttle to open and increase engine speed. this eventually turned into the throttle sticking open and not returning to idle. the on the road fix was to push quickly on the throttle pedal a couple times to get the throttle to release to idle. this also necessitated riding the brakes to keep the cars speed under control. over time the issue became worse, with the throttle sticking open more often. what i found when investigating the issue was that the cruise control cable fitting at the throttle linkage was disconnected. the fitting would snap back onto the proper place but was very loose and would pop back off easily when the throttle was actuated. i used a plastic tie-wrap to tighten the locking mechanism in place. another item that i found was a lot of varnish where the throttle butterfly met the throttle body (inside the throttle body) at/near idle. this contributed to the sticking closed/open issue. i used carb cleaner while the engine was running to clean the throttle body around the butterfly, and outside the throttle body on the linkage. the issue at this point has not returned. i do feel there is an issue with the connector at the end of the cruise control cable. since it seems to be affecting others about the same mileage, it seems to be a wear issue of an under designed connector. i don't know if the varnish build up (amount) is out of the ordinary, but have not had the sticking throttle issue on any other car i have owned. i could see this causing an accident for others that may not understand the mechanics of what is happening. *tr.Mileage was 78000 miles.

FORD TAURUS 2005 car safety problem was reported on Feb 06, 2012.FORD TAURUS 2005, manufactured by FORD MOTOR COMPANY had a problem with VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL . i was driving home from work going 25 mph when my car quickly accelerated. i immediately stepped on the brake as the car continued to accelerate to 45 mph. at this time i started to brake as hard as i could and got the car stopped as i pulled over to the curb. i shifted the car into park and the engine was really racing violently. i jabbed the gas pedal and the engine slowed to idle speed. i drove home with no further problem. three days later this same thing happened. this time i checked to see if the cruise control was on. it was not.!! this same thing happened 3 more times within a few days. i then told my boyfriend about this. he was very concerned about this and told me not to drive the car until he looked at it. he looked at the car right away and found the throttle cable and cruise control cable free of any restriction. he then disconnected the cruise control cable. he called the local ford dealership the next day and told them about this. they said they had not heard about this problem and would not do anything (at their expense) to fix this. i have not had this problem occur since the cruise control cable was disconnected!!!!! i am submitting this complaint to you because i saw on the news that other people, with this same car, are having this same problem. i am also extremely concerned because it took every thing i had to stop my car and that, in the wrong location, i could very easily have killed someone or myself!!!! i believe this to be a very serious problem!!! i strongly suspect that the problem is with the cruise control system or computer that controls the cruise control..Mileage was 61500 miles.

FORD TAURUS 2005 car safety problem was reported on Apr 12, 2012.FORD TAURUS 2005, manufactured by FORD MOTOR COMPANY had a problem with VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL . i pulled onto a state route and accelerated to get up to highway speed. the light i was approaching turned yellow, so i went from the gas to the brake pedal. i realized very quickly i was not slowing down nearly fast enough to stop in time and was going to hit the car in front of me in a few seconds. i assumed the brakes were failing. i looked down to try to down shift the car and realized the car was running at approximately 2800 rpm. i put my left foot on the brake and moved my right foot back to the accelerator. i could feel that the accelerator pedal was still depressed. i placed my foot under the pedal, but i could not lift it up. i then pressed the accelerator down further and released it. this time the pedal came back to normal position and i was able to stop. when i pulled over and looked under the hood, the cable for the cruise control was not attached to the throttle arm. i tried reattaching the cruise control cable, but connector was worn out and it would not stay attached. i tucked the loose cruise control cable under a wire in order to get home. .Mileage was 57680 miles.

FORD TAURUS 2005 car safety problem was reported on Apr 18, 2012.FORD TAURUS 2005, manufactured by FORD MOTOR COMPANY had a problem with VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL . my throttle has begun sticking on a regular basis, and this started at the same time my cruise control stopped working. while driving at any speed, my accelerator will increase on its own until i lightly tap the gas pedal a couple of times. this also happened several months ago (july 2011), but i had a rear-end collision (not due to this problem) that caused extensive damage to the front end. after the garage repaired my car, both throttle and cruise control were working fine for the next nine months, but now the problem has started again. a local garage has said they can find no cause. *tr.0 person(s) were injured. 0 person(s) died.Mileage was 85000 miles.

FORD TAURUS 2005 car safety problem was reported on May 12, 2012.FORD TAURUS 2005, manufactured by FORD MOTOR COMPANY had a problem with VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL . when i let my foot off the gas pedal the engine continues to accelerate. i thought it was the floor mat catching on the gas pedal. on saturday may 12 i was coming up my street at about 25 mph and the car wouldn't stop and i came zooming into my driveway. i slammed on the brakes and put the car into neutral and the engine was racing then i turned off the key. when i restarted the engine the problem was gone. i checked the floor mat but i found no problem with the mat. this is the first time i was sure the floor mat was not the problem. last week may 24 2012 my wife used the car and said she had the same problem and it wasn't the floor mat. yesterday may 28, 2012 as i approached a busy intersection with a stop sign i let my foot off the gas pedal and the car continued to accelerate into the intersection. by the time i could react i was in the middle of the intersection. i just barely avoided a collision with possible personal injury. this was the last straw with this dangerous problem, so i put the car in my garage and took the cover off the accelerator control leaver. i found the problem quickly. the cause of this unintended acceleration is the cruise control cable has become disconnected from the throttle leaver and is catching on the throttle leaver, so the lever can't return. i tried to reconnect this cable but the plastic retainer on this cheap cable has become defective and will not reconnect. i have now tied the cable back so it can not interfere with the throttle lever. i have contacted ford about this problem and issued a complaint. there are no recalls regarding this issue. this problem is a serious safety issue and beyond the scope of vehicle maintenance. this issue could cause a fatal accident to an unsuspecting driver. i have documented this issue with photographs. please contact me for a copy of the photo. *tr.0 person(s) were injured. 0 person(s) died.Mileage was 119400 miles.

FORD TAURUS 2005 car safety problem was reported on June 14, 2012.FORD TAURUS 2005, manufactured by FORD MOTOR COMPANY had a problem with VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL . absolutely frightening! this afternoon a passenger and i pulled out onto the main thoroughfare when my car (2005 taurus) independently accelerated and began running/spinning at a high rpm. the experience was not unlike a self propelled vacuum where you let go and it wants to run off by itself - only this is far more dangerous having been in traffic with precious lives at stake. it was not wanting me to brake either. thankfully, i was able to pull off into a gravel lot. i turned the car off for a few minutes then started it again only that time it was running at rocket speed. needless to say it was unsafe to drive at that point so i had it towed to the local ford dealer. they just called to say it was the "speed control cable" that appeared to disengage and do something with the throttle. clearly this is a problem with the make and model of car based on the cumulative posts i am seeing. ford needs to step up or the ntsb needs to step in. *jb.0 person(s) were injured. 0 person(s) died.Mileage was 67000 miles.

FORD TAURUS 2005 car safety problem was reported on June 14, 2012.FORD TAURUS 2005, manufactured by FORD MOTOR COMPANY had a problem with VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL:CABLES . absolutely frightening! this afternoon a passenger and i pulled out onto the main thoroughfare when my car (2005 taurus) independently accelerated and began running/spinning at a high rpm. the experience was not unlike a self propelled vacuum where you let go and it wants to run off by itself - only this is far more dangerous having been in traffic with precious lives at stake. it was not wanting me to brake either. thankfully, i was able to pull off into a gravel lot. i turned the car off for a few minutes then started it again only that time it was running at rocket speed. needless to say it was unsafe to drive at that point so i had it towed to the local ford dealer. they just called to say it was the "speed control cable" that appeared to disengage and do something with the throttle. clearly this is a problem with the make and model of car based on the cumulative posts i am seeing. ford needs to step up or the ntsb needs to step in. *jb.0 person(s) were injured. 0 person(s) died.Mileage was 67000 miles.

FORD TAURUS 2005 car safety problem was reported on June 21, 2012.FORD TAURUS 2005, manufactured by FORD MOTOR COMPANY had a problem with VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL . while driving approximately 45 mph and slowing down due to traffic, the engine started revving at 3,000 rpm's. i pulled over in the nearest parking lot and while the car was in park, the engine was still revving at 3,000 rpms. i turned the car off, waited about 15 minutes and started it up again but nothing changed. this is the second time this has happened in a period of about a month. it feels like the gas pedal is stuck down but it isn't. i did manage to drive the car back to work but it never fell below 3,000 rpms and felt like it was jerking forward and trying to go faster. when i left work about 3 hours later the car was ok and driving home it was ok also. the first time this happened i took it back to the dealer but it didn't happen so they said nothing was wrong and didn't fix anything. there seems to be alot of complaints on this issue - how many more does there need to reported before ford will step up and realize there is a problem with this car and issue a recall and have it corrected before someone is seriously injured or even killed! *tt.0 person(s) were injured. 0 person(s) died.Mileage was 69980 miles.

FORD TAURUS 2005 car safety problem was reported on Nov 01, 2011.FORD TAURUS 2005, manufactured by FORD MOTOR COMPANY had a problem with VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL . while driving the throttle seemed to be less responsive than normal and the engine idled at about 4000 rpm. the car was very difficult to stop and wanted to push through the brakes. we had to shift into neutral to sit out a red light as the engine revved. this has happened three times so far. i'm not sure of the first time, the second was last year and the latest was just today. each time we opened the hood and found that the control cable that connects the throttle body to the cruise control unit was disconnected. on the latest occurrence the car had been driving fine, she made a downhill stop at a stop sign, made a right turn and as she was accelerating the car lurched and wanted to take off. for the most part the brakes were able to control the car but at a stop light she had to shift into neutral to remain stationary. after some amount of fiddling with the gas peddle it seemed to come unstuck and worked for a short time after which it behaved stuck again. opening the hood she saw that the cruise control cable had come disconnected again. on the second occurrence of the cable detaching our toddler had been playing in the drivers seat while the car was parked and trying to push the gas peddle with her hands. my best guess was that she had pulled up on the peddle instead of down. to confirm my suspicion i made sure everything was connected and pulled up on the peddle with my foot, as soon as i gave the car gas the cruise control cable came disconnected again. it seemed repeatable. i'm not sure why pulling on the peddle messes things up or how that would have happened while an adult was actually driving, but i suppose it would have been possible. for the first occurrence i don't have details but my girlfriend, who owns the car, said that it had happened before when it happened the second time. she suggested that i look at the connection at the throttle body. *tr.0 person(s) were injured. 0 person(s) died.Mileage was 119000 miles.

FORD TAURUS 2005 car safety problem was reported on July 17, 2012.FORD TAURUS 2005, manufactured by FORD MOTOR COMPANY had a problem with VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL . this is about the fourth time this has happened. driving my car at the posted speed limit, the car wanted to accelerate on its own. i have to ride the brakes going down small downgrades and going up hills i didn't need to apply the gas pedal - it did it - all by itself. by the time i got home the car was revving. i put the car in neutral, stomped hard on the gas pedal a couple of times. nothing. it still was revving at 4000 rpm's. i shut the motor off, waited a few minutes, started the car again but it still revved at 4000 rpm's. i made arrangements for the car to be towed to a mechanic. the tow truck driver started the car, said "oh my" when he saw that it was revving to 4000 rpm's. he stomped really hard on the gas pedal and the car finally settled into a normal idle. he thought the throttle might be loose or something. the mechanic at the garage claimed they couldn't find anything wrong after "test driving" the car off and on for two days. i picked the car up and by the time i got home (about 10 miles) it was doing the same thing. i am afraid to drive the car. i feel it's not safe to drive because i have to put the brakes on hard even on flat road surface. anyway, i am going to call my tow service again and pay the extra to have the car towed to the nearest ford dealership in wexford, pa. hopefully they will be able to find what is wrong with this car. i cannot afford to buy another car as i am on a fixed income and this car has less than 74,000 miles on it. i have seen all the other reports/complaints regarding this vehicle. seems to me it is a major problem and there should be a recall on this car. *tr.0 person(s) were injured. 0 person(s) died.Mileage was 73000 miles.

FORD TAURUS 2005 car safety problem was reported on Aug 07, 2012.FORD TAURUS 2005, manufactured by FORD MOTOR COMPANY had a problem with VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL . the cruise control was not working properly and had not been since i bought the car one month ago. it worked only a couple of times. on yesterday, i tested it again, as i have almost everyday. i turned it on at 40 mph to see if it would kick in. it finally did but it would not go off! when i hit the brakes, the motor revved up, when i pressed the off button, it did not work, the car just kept going and surpassed 40 mph. when i stopped the motor revved up very high. i tried several times but when i turned it off and turned it back on the car would abruptly move forward on its own - making a loud jerking sound in the motor. we were at my grandsons' football practices where children and adults were all around and i was very afraid that i would accidentally hit someone. i finally took it to a nearby mechanic and he had to unplug the cruise control cable, and for now its fine. this is very dangerous and according to other posts it happens quite often. i read where other had disconnected their cruise control cable and yet had problems with rapid acceleration. is there a recall? and if not, why? what can i do to get this problem corrected? i had my daughter and grandchildren in the car with me and it was very scary for all of us. if i had hit another vehicle, stationary object, or much worse a child or an adult, that would have been devastating. sincerely.... *tr.0 person(s) were injured. 0 person(s) died.Mileage was 114500 miles.

FORD TAURUS 2005 car safety problem was reported on Sept 06, 2012.FORD TAURUS 2005, manufactured by Ford Motor Company had a problem with VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL . i am not really sure when this started to happen, it has been a long time. i thought it was a problem with my gas pedal, have been taking it to mechanic to fix it, never helped. after reading the reports of the cruise control problems being experienced, i realize that what is being reported is exactly what i am experiencing. today it happened when my 19 year old son was driving. he was on the freeway at 70 mph, and when he needed to exit, the vehicle would not slow down. the vehicle accelerates on it's own at times, and at other times the accelerator gets stuck as though the cruise is set, even when you have not set it. thus you wish to slow down, and you are still stuck going 70 mph. i have been stuck in traffic jams and had it start to accelerate, and have to keep the brakes on to slow down. if you try to put it in neutral or park, the rpms race badly. i took it back to my mechanic to try to completely disconnect the cruise control last friday (8-31-12) and it seemed to help for a few days, but now today when my son had the vehicle get stuck at 70, he looked and the cruise control cable had reconnected on it's own. we have now removed the plastic assembly cover to try and prevent this from recurring, after reading suggestions from others online who are also experiencing this problem. in reading other driver's descriptions online, i believe this problem is occurring to many other drivers of the 2005 taurus. i have contacted ford, their response was that i have to take it to the dealer where i purchased it for a complete diagnostic. i called the dealership, they said the diagnostic was $98 and would only do me any good if i can "replicate the problem" while it is at their dealership. as this problem occurs very randomly, i don't see how this is possible. i firmly believe that this problem needs to be further investigated before a tragedy occurs. *tr.0 person(s) were injured. 0 person(s) died.Mileage was 128000 miles.

FORD TAURUS 2005 car safety problem was reported on Sept 07, 2009.FORD TAURUS 2005, manufactured by Ford Motor Company had a problem with VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL . on two separate occasions that i remember i experienced excessive speed due to the cruise control cable coming detached and catching on the throttle cable. one instance occurred on the highway while driving at 65 mph, and the car accelerated to over 85 mph without warning. the brakes could not slow the car, nor could lifting up the gas pedal. the second instance occurred while on an off-ramp from a highway and through an intersection. i was driving at 35 mph when the car sped to 45 mph. braking only slowed the car minimally. on both occasions i was able to have the car stop accelerating by actually pushing on the gas pedal and unknowingly causing the cruise control cable to unhook itself from the throttle cable. i took a look under the hood after the incidents and noticed the issue, i zip-tied the cruise control cable in place but would appreciate this matter taken care of before someone gets hurt. *tr.0 person(s) were injured. 0 person(s) died.Mileage was 90000 miles.

FORD TAURUS 2005 car safety problem was reported on Jan 19, 2010.FORD TAURUS 2005, manufactured by Ford Motor Company had a problem with VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL . throttle sticks and the engine idles as high as 2,500 rpm without applying any pressure to gas, causing the car to increase its speed without touching the gas. even when applying the brakes, the car is difficult to stop and i must allow additional room to stop because the car is accelerating on its own while i'm applying the brakes. this occurs at random and approximately 1-3 times daily. the severity of the unwarranted acceleration seems to become more obtrusive as the mileage increases. i'm disappointed and frankly shocked that ford has not issued a recall for this potentially dangerous faulty accelerator, especially considering they have been notified by many other concerned consumes such as myself. until then, i can only hope the brakes can continue to overpower the accelerator that seems to have a mind of its own. *tr.0 person(s) were injured. 0 person(s) died.Mileage was 65737 miles.

FORD TAURUS 2005 car safety problem was reported on Mar 06, 2013.FORD TAURUS 2005, manufactured by Ford Motor Company had a problem with VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL . initial incident: was driving down the road at approximately 40mph and pressed the gas pedal to level out speed. when i lifted my foot off the pedal, it stuck and kept accelerating. i was able to release it by pressing the pedal again. subsequent incidents: i had a few other incidents, which are currently ongoing, pending a mechanic looking at my vehicle. in these instances, they are similar to the initial one in that when i let off the pedal, it sticks and eventually releases with a slight 'pop' from the pedal area either on it's own, when i press the gas pedal again or press the brake and slow to a lower speed (around 5mph). major incident: on one occasion, the pedal got stuck and the rpm went upwards of 4000-5000 and the engine was revving. none of the above - pressing pedal or pressing brake - helped with the situation. i eventually had to shift into neutral and turn off the vehicle. when i waited about 30 seconds, i restarted the vehicle and it went right back to rpm around 4000-5000. i tried pressing the pedal again to relase and after 3 or so tries it finally released. i am planning to contact ford and let them know i have reported this and see what can be done to resolve this issue. *tr.0 person(s) were injured. 0 person(s) died.Vehicle Identification Number (VIN):1FAFP53U95A.

FORD TAURUS 2005 car safety problem was reported on Apr 29, 2013.FORD TAURUS 2005, manufactured by Ford Motor Company had a problem with VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL . while driving my 2005 ford taurus, it began to accelerate independently of whether i was pressing the gas pedal. it began speeding from 25 up to 50 mph in a residential area. i was able to eventually stop the vehicle by pushing on the brakes very hard, but it continued to try to accelerate through the brakes. i pulled over and placed it in park and it continued to try to accelerate until i shut off the engine. i checked to make sure nothing was near the gas pedal and it was completely free and not depressed. i had the car towed to the dealer, where they found that the cable for throttle/speed control was loose, as something had become worn and allowed the cable to hold the throttle open. they replaced the cable and throttle, at a cost of $600. i see that there was an nhtsa investigation of 2005 ford tauruses in 2012 for this exact issue and that the investigation was closed without a recall. i strongly urge you to reopen the investigation or at least issue a warning and require ford to pay for fixing this dangerous malfunction. thank you. *tr.0 person(s) were injured. 0 person(s) died.Mileage was 109000 miles.

FORD TAURUS 2005 car safety problem was reported on May 03, 2013.FORD TAURUS 2005, manufactured by Ford Motor Company had a problem with VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL . i noticed when i took my foot off the accelerator, while driving on a local highway, that the car was still continuing to move at the same speed. thinking it was probably stuck, i pumped the gas pedal to possibly free it but this only increased my speed. after reaching down and pulling back the floor mat which did nothing, i put the car into neutral, stopped (at the light) and pumped the gas again which brought the acceleration down... i was able to drive the car home without this happening again, but now the idle is well over 1000 rpm, enough to move the car forward in drive without my foot on the gas pedal! after doing a quick search on the internet, i see this is a common problem/complaint with a 2005 taurus. what is ford doing about this dangerous situation! *tr.0 person(s) were injured. 0 person(s) died.Mileage was 105000 miles.

FORD TAURUS 2005 car safety problem was reported on May 23, 2013.FORD TAURUS 2005, manufactured by Ford Motor Company had a problem with VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL . as i was driving down the road, i noticed that my 2005 ford taurus was accelerating, even though i wasn't actively pushing the accelerator and the cruise control wasn't on. i was forced to use the brakes to control the speed of the vehicle. i was able to maintain my speed at 30 mph, but could tell that i was fighting the car's need to accelerate. thankfully, i was close enough to home and tried my best to make it there. i used the brake to get my car down to a safe enough speed to turn onto my street, at which point i heard a loud grinding sound. i tried shifting the car into neutral and the car went up to 4000 rpm. i then returned it back to drive and was forced to start circling my block. i called my father and he told me to turn my car off while still in drive. i did this and rolled to a stop in front of my house. while in park, i turned the car back on, and it immediately went up to 4000 rpm. i shut the car back off and repeated the test, with the same results. upon inspection, we found that the cruise control cable had detached from the throttle cam and was blocking the throttle from returning to its correct position. we removed the cable from the area of the throttle and the engine returned to the normal idling range around 1000 rpm. *tr.0 person(s) were injured. 0 person(s) died.Mileage was 87124 miles.

FORD TAURUS 2005 car safety problem was reported on Apr 08, 2013.FORD TAURUS 2005, manufactured by Ford Motor Company had a problem with VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL . first noticed that the cruise control was not working. driving on interstate at 65 mph and the car suddenly started to accelerate. i took my foot off the accelerator and the car continued to accelerate. at approximately 80 mph i applied the brakes hard and slowed to about 60 mph. i took my foot off the brake and the car continued to accelerate. at approximately 80 mph, i shifted into neutral and the engine rpm stayed at 4000 rpm. i tapped the accelerator pedal a couple times and rpm returned to idle and vehicle operated normally. this type of sudden acceleration incident continued to happen on a sporadic basis. the acceleration incident felt very similar to actuating the cruise control accel or resume control. i suspected the issue was in the cruise control system. i disconnected and removed the cruise control cable and the incident has not happened since. the cruise control cable was properly connected before i removed to this is not the same as nhtsa investigation #pe12005. the cruise control cable was not detached and therefore not keeping the throttle from closing properly. my incidents occurred while traveling at a constant speed, the car would suddenly accelerate on it's own. i suspect there is a defect within the cruise control system and the engine is getting a signal to accelerate. applying the brakes does not stop the acceleration. the only way to keep the car from accelerating is to shut off the engine or shift into neutral and tap on the accelerator pedal. *tr.0 person(s) were injured. 0 person(s) died.Mileage was 175000 miles.

FORD TAURUS 2005 car safety problem was reported on Sept 27, 2013.FORD TAURUS 2005, manufactured by Ford Motor Company had a problem with POWER TRAIN . automatic transmission:torque converter---i own a 2005 ford taurus se. friday sept 27th on my way home i had issues with the transmission going out on a major, very heavily traveled road. i pulled away from a stop light and was traveling approx 35mph when the car stopped "pulling" and the engine rpm's revved past 6k. the car stopped partly in the road where i had to get out on the two lane road and pushed the car the to the side of the road in rush hour traffic. (very dangerous). i called for a tow truck and got the car back to my house. wondering why the transmission gave out without any warning, i did some research online only to find out that there is a major problem with the 2005 ford taurus torque converters where the pump shaft spline is only .160 thick, and under normal use, the spline wears excessively and eventually fails without warning causing the vehicle to loose its motive power. now what i don't understand is why hasn't the nhtsa investigated this problem because after more research and speaking with a ford master mechanic i found out that there is a recall for the same exact problem with the ford freestar vehicles!! why did the recall only stop with the freestar vehicle when its the same problem on the taurus? is it going to take a wreck with a fatality to get something done about this problem? i understand when parts fail but when you read online to different forums and there are hundreds if not thousands of complaints about the same problem of the 2005 taurus this is a major concern which something needs to be done to make ford accountable especially when there is a same issue with a different vehicle that has a recall. even the master technician said he doesn't know why the recall stopped with the freestar, it's the same exact problem with the 2005 taurus, and a dangerous one at that. is any investigation going on with this issue? *tr.0 person(s) were injured. 0 person(s) died.Mileage was 92800 miles.

FORD TAURUS 2005 car safety problem was reported on Dec 05, 2013.FORD TAURUS 2005, manufactured by Ford Motor Company had a problem with VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL . y vehicle experienced unexpected high rpm and uncontrollable high speeds. it was first discovered when accelerating up to 40 mph, and suddenly the speed increased with the rpm going up to 4,000. the gas pedal was untouched and the speed continued to increased. the driver immediately applied the brakes to stop but the rpm remained at 4,000 rpm, while at a stop, the driver changed the drive shaft to neutral, and the vehicle continued to go at 4,000 rpm. this would go on for about 3-4 miles, and suddenly go back to normal mode. then the symptoms would return again unexpectedly. this behavior has been ongoing since december 5th, and it is worse when the vehicle is on the freeway. the speed control would also become erratic once it hits 60 mph. the driver would change shift to neutral or to d mode just to disrupt the erratic speed behaviors. the symptoms would go away "on its own". in addition, i found that the cruise control is not operational at this time . the cruise control can be turned on but the cruise control is not engaged or is not holding the speed. i have done a thorough check on the engine looking for any damages, any leaks in the intake air pipes, or faulty sensors and found nothing, but from resources, i learned that it may be a faulty cruise control operation. it is now a safety concern, for me as the driver but for my children and my wife. *tr.0 person(s) were injured. 0 person(s) died.Mileage was 128000 miles.

FORD TAURUS 2005 car safety problem was reported on May 07, 2013.FORD TAURUS 2005, manufactured by Ford Motor Company had a problem with VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL . as i was accelerating, and get to around 40 or 45mph, the car would lunge forward and the speed would suddenly increase even if i wasn't pushing the accelerator. then i would try to slow down the car and it would be jerking and would come to a stop finally, but the rpm would be to over 4,000 or even 5,000. it would do it for a few miles then suddenly go back to running normal. i also noticed the cruise control is not working since the car stated doing this. i took it to a mechanic and all they could find wrong with the car was that the throttle body plates were covered in gunk and they cleaned them, and i needed to replace my idle air intake valve which i had both done. from time to time the car will still accelerate suddenly without warning, and i am afraid i am going to either blow the engine from the high rpm's or run into someone if i can't get the car slowed down in time. *tr.0 person(s) were injured. 0 person(s) died.Mileage was 167000 miles.

FORD TAURUS 2005 car safety problem was reported on Jan 26, 2014.FORD TAURUS 2005, manufactured by Ford Motor Company had a problem with VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL . my accelerator pedal starting sticking and has continued to do so for over a week, now. my cruise control also stopped working at the same time. if i tap the accelerator pedal, it will usually return to normal. the cruise control will work intermittently, but is inoperative more than it is operative. i can live without the cruise control, but the sticking accelerator pedal is dangerous. also, sometimes when i set the cruise control, i can feel the accelerator pedal accept the speed, but then it will almost immediately disconnect and the accelerator pedal will spring back to its normal position. i've read that other ford tauruses have had what appears to be the same exact problem. ford really should issue a safety recall to fix this issue. *tr.0 person(s) were injured. 0 person(s) died.Mileage was 174700 miles.

FORD TAURUS 2005 car safety problem was reported on Feb 06, 2014.FORD TAURUS 2005, manufactured by Ford Motor Company had a problem with VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL . when i tried to set the cruise control it would not set or hold the speed. later that day, when driving at approximately 40 mph, the car decided it was going to speed up. i put my foot on the brake and when i took it off, the car sped up again. i again put my foot on the brake and put the car in neutral as i pulled to the side of the road. when i got the car stop the engine rpms were up around 4rpms, at this point i shut the car off. i took the car to a ford dealership and they ended up replacing the cruise control cable which was broken. it cost me $140.43 this was on 2-21-13 (143,350 miles). about 3 days ago 2-6-14 (159,000miles), the car again did this same thing. once again i will be taking it into the ford dealership to have this issue fixed. i am hoping that i will not be charged this time. this is very dangerous and scary when it happens. i am glad i was driving the car and not my 16 year who is just learning to drive. *tr.0 person(s) were injured. 0 person(s) died.Mileage was 159500 miles.

(this is the third time i had trouble with my cruise control) they are replacing the throttle control body and speed control cable. i am now waiting to hear from them to pick up my car. what i don't understand is this - if it is known there is a problem with the gas pedal sticking why has there not been a recall. are you waiting until some serious accident occurs or for a fatality? i am just glad i was not on a congested highway when this happened - it was 9:00 pm at night on my way home after visiting my sons and believe me when i say i was quite upset and shaking when this occurred. i never want to experience something like this again. i wish your association would look into this further so it can be rectified. thank you for your time and attention to this submittal. *tr.0 person(s) were injured. 0 person(s) died.Mileage was 82013 miles.

FORD TAURUS 2005 car safety problem was reported on June 21, 2014.FORD TAURUS 2005, manufactured by Ford Motor Company had a problem with FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE . while driving on freeway i realized car was going 70 mph with my foot completely off the gas pedal. i thought maybe the cruise control was on. i pumped the brakes several times which slowed the car down but the car would speed back up to 70 with out me touching the gas pedal. i found the on off buttons on the left side of steering wheel and pushed off several times, then tried pushing on and then off . the car kept going 70mph. i put my right foot underneath the gas pedal and lifted it with my foot in case it was stuck but that didn't make any difference. i exited the highway ready to shift into neutral but the breaks slowed the car to a halt. at the stoplight i began to release the break and the car started to go again with out me touching the gas. we pulled over and parked the car and turned it off. for some reason this fixed the problem. my 3 kids were in the car with me and i discussed all of this with them as it was occurring . i joked about it being a google car but it felt more like christine from steven kings novel. *tr.0 person(s) were injured. 0 person(s) died.Mileage was 74000 miles.

FORD TAURUS 2005 car safety problem was reported on July 16, 2014.FORD TAURUS 2005, manufactured by Ford Motor Company had a problem with POWER TRAIN . on wednesday, july 16, 2014, i was driving on us hwy 206 in flanders, nj, when my car stopped responding to the accelerator. the engine was running, but pressing down on the gas pedal did nothing. i quickly maneuvered the car to the shoulder, almost causing an accident. the car wouldn't move in any gear, even reverse, however, nothing was wrong with the engine as it was still running. i was towed home and research the problem. apparently, this has happened to many other ford taurus owners when the splines on the torque converter fail, rendering the transmission inoperable and the car suddenly unresponsive when pressing on the accelerator. i'm lucky i wasn't hit from behind on the highway. this is a dangerous situation that should be investigated. a recall should be issued to address this problem and replace the faulty torque converter. on july 8, 2014, ford issued a recall for the ford taurus, and other models, for the same problem, but my year wasn't part of the recall. why? in january 2012, ford issued a recall for faulty torque converters for 450k suvs and vans. but the taurus wasn't, again, why? are the lives of taurus owners worth any less than suv/minivan owners? .0 person(s) were injured. 0 person(s) died.Mileage was 106502 miles.
