NHTSA Complaint #10322944 — 2001 FORD TAURUS

CAR ENGINE WOULD NOT STOP AFTER APPLYING BRAKES, CAR ENGINE KEPT TRYING TO GO FORWARD WHILE I WAS PRESSING HARD ON THE BRAKES AT A STOP LIGHT. CAR ENGINE WOULD NOT STOP, IT WOULD STOP GO, STOP GO, STOP GO, STOP GO WHILE I WAS PRESSING HARD ON THE CAR BRAKES HAD TO CHANGE CAR LANES TO AVOID HITTING THE CAR IN FRONT OF ME ALMOST ENDED UP IN THE MIDDLE OF THE INTERSECTION. HAD SOME CLOSE CALLS. THIS HAS HAPPEN BEFORE WITH THIS CAR, BUT NOT AS BAD. THE ENGINE LIGHT WENT ON THIS TIME (NEVER HAD A ENGINE LIGHT BEFORE). I TOOK THE CAR TO A CAR REPAIR SHOP (MEINEKE CAR CARE) AND THEY RAN THEIR ENGINE DIAGNOSTIC TESTS AND GOT A (ERROR CODE P0171 AND P0174) SYSTEM TOO LEAN BANK 1 AND 2. THERE WAS AIR LEAKS IN THE AIR HOSE ASSY, REPLACED AIR TUBE ASSY, PARTS (YF1Z6758A AND F6DZ6758A), AFTER THAT THE CAR RAN FINE (FOR ONE DAY). I HAD A PROBLEM ALSO WITH THE CAR ENGINE IDLE (ROUGH IDLE), CAR ENGINE WOULD STOP RUNNING AT A STOP LIGHT. (THE CAR ENGINE LIGHT WENT BACK ON AGAIN). I TOOK THE CAR TO A CAR REPAIR SHOP (PEPBOYS) AND THEY RAN CAR ENGINE DIAGNOSTIC CE SCAN AND GOT (ERROR CODE P0174 SYSTEM TOO LEAN B1 AND B2). THEY REPLACED PCV HOSE (ELBOW HOSE) THAT WAS LEAKING, (PART YF1Z6A664AB PCV HOSE, LF 0019.5800 PO 10332245.). AFTER THAT THE CAR ENGINE IS RUNNING GOOD (SO FAR). THIS MAY HELP IN LOCATING SOME OF THE PROBLEMS WITH CAR ENGINES TRYING TO GO FORWARD WHILE THE DRIVERS ARE APPLYING THE BRAKES. NEED BETTER AIR HOSES THAT WILL NOT LEAK.
