Consumer Description

MY 2005 FORD TAURUS HAS BEEN A HEADACHE SINCE DAY ONE. TODAY ON MY WAY TO WORK THE CAR SUDDENLY ACCELERATED AND APPLYING THE BRAKES WAS A CHALLENGE AS I ALMOST COULDN'T STOP WHEN PULLING OVER FOR SAFETY. PRIOR TO THIS, OVER $2000 FOR A NEW ENGINE, ANOTHER $900 FOR A NEW TRANSMISSION, ANOTHER $250 FOR A POWER STEERING PUMP, AND DAILY ISSUES LIKE THE DOOR NOT LATCHING AND ME TRYING TO HOLD DRIVER'S DOOR SHUT WHILE DRIVING AT THE SAME TIME, AND THEN HAVING TO TIE A ROPE ACROSS THE FRONT SEAT TO THE PASSENGER DOOR. ALSO, THE DAYTIME RUNNING LIGHTS TURN ON ON THEIR OWN AT ANY GIVEN TIME AND DRAIN THE BATTERY. THIS CAR IS A PIECE OF CRAP. IF YOU BUY THIS KIND OR CAR, MAKE SURE YOU HAVE AAA TOO. *TR
