Consumer Description

'MODEL YEAR : 2002 'MAKE: FORD 'MODEL: TAURUS SE 'COMPONENT*: CAR JUST SHUTS OFF AT REST AND LATELY IN THE MIDDLE OF DRIVING. CRANKS RIGHT BACK UP BUT THIS IS DANGEROUS. HAVE TAKEN TO DIFFERENT MECHANICS BUT NO ONE SEEMS TO KNOW WHAT IT IS OR HOW TO FIX THE ISSUE. THE RPM BOBS AND THE ENGINE STOPS IF AT REST(STOP LIGHT) OR WILL JUST SHUT OFF WHEN TURNING A CORNER OR EVEN WHILE ON INTERSTATE. THIS IS A HAZARD. THERE ARE SEVERAL FORD TAURUS OWNERS WHO ARE EXPERIENCING THE SAME ISSUE IF YOU GOGGLE "FORD TAURUS SHUTS OFF" EVERYONE IS SEEKING A RESOLUTION THROUGH FORUM. THIS IS A SAFETY HAZARD AND I AM AFRAID TO DRIVE BECAUSE I NEVER KNOW WHEN IT WILL SHUT OFF. PLEASE DO SOMETHING ABOUT THIS. *TR
