Consumer Description

2000 FORD TAURUS SEL 24V V-6 CONTINUALLY DIES WHILE IN HIGH SPEED TRAFFIC. CAR HAS BEEN WELL MAINTAINED PER FORD RECOMMENDATIONS. FORD DEALERSHIP HAS SERVICED THE CAR TWICE PRIOR TO CURRENT FAILURE FOR SAME CONDITIONS. RECENT RECOMMENDATION FROM FORD SERVICE PERSONNEL WAS TO 'USE A DIFFERENT IGNITION KEY.' PER RECOMMENDATIONS AND USING A DIFFERENT KEY, CAR CONTINUES TO STALL/DIE WHILE IN TRAFFIC, RENDERING POWER STEERING, POWER BRAKES, AND DIRECTIONAL SIGNALS INOPERATIVE. IN ITS CURRENT CONDITION, I DO NOT FEEL THAT THIS CAR IS SAFE (BY DESIGN OR MANUFACTURER'S INABILITY TO REPAIR) TO OPERATE ON PUBLIC MOTORWAYS. PLEASE FEEL FREE TO CONTACT ME VIA EMAIL AT [email protected] OR VIA PHONE AT 908/310-4055 (LEAVE VOICE MAIL MESSAGE IF I AM UNABLE TO ANSWER YOUR CALL.) THANK YOU.*AK WILMER F. JOHNSON
