Consumer Description

THIS HAS HAPPENED TO ME A COUPLE OF TIMES ALREADY. I WAS DRIVING BEHIND MY BOYFRIEND WE WHERE HEADED TO HIS HOUSE, AND MY CAR STARTED ACCELERATING AT A FAST UNUSUAL PACE. HE STOPPED IN FRONT OF ME AT A STOP LIGHT, AND AS I WAS PRESSING ON MY BRAKES THERE WAS A COUPLE OF LOUD CLUNKS COMING FROM INSIDE MY ENGINE. I WAS JUST RIDING MY BRAKES, LUCKILY THE CAR WAS ABLE TO SLOW DOWN AND COME TO A STOP. WHEN THE LIGHT TURNED GREEN, IT WAS BEHAVING NORMALLY. I'VE LOOKED THIS UP, AND NOTICED THAT THIS WAS A RECURRING PROBLEM WITH ALMOST ALL MODELS OF FORD TAURUS. YET THERE IS NO RECALL? I HOPE YOU REALIZE HOW DANGEROUS THIS PROBLEM ACTUALLY IS, AND I HOPE THAT SOMETHING IS DONE ABOUT IT SOON. *TR
