Consumer Description

FORD MOTOR COMPANY 2006 FORD TAURUS SE 3.0 LITRE ENGINE. THE LOCATION OF THE OIL FILTER IS DIRECTLY ABOVE THE STARTER AND STARTER SOLENOID ASSEMBLY. THIS VERY POOR DESIGN CAN LEAD TO THE FAILURE AND POSSIBLE FIRE IN THIS VEHICLE. I ASKED FORD'S OWN AUTHORIZED SERVICERS IN THE DENVER MARKET AND THEY AGREED TO THIS AS A FACT. YET, AS AN OWNER OF SAID MODEL-THEY HAVE DONE NOTHING TO INFORM THE PUBLIC OR RECALL OR REMEDY THIS. PLEASE CHECK INTO THIS AS I BELIEVE IT IS A VERY COMMON DESIGN FAILURE AND POTENTIALLY VERY PROBLEMATIC. *TR
