Consumer Description
WHILE DRIVING MY 2009 FORD TAURUS 83,000M THE BREAKS HARD STOP ON ITS OWN, IT WAS HARD ENOUGH THAT IF ME AND MY PASSENGER WAS NOT WEARING OUR SEAT BELTS IT WOULD HAVE SMASHED HIS FACE INTO THE DASH AND MY FACE INTO MY STEERING WHEEL, WE WERE ON A SIDE STREET TURNING LEFT AND AS I WAS ACCELERATING THE BREAKS HARD STOPPED ON ITS OWN. THE OTHER TIME THE BREAKS HARD STOPPED WAS WHILE TURNING RIGHT ONCE AGAIN ACCELERATING AND ALMOST GOT REAR ENDED ON A VERY BUSY MAIN STREET. THERE WAS A TIME I WAS DRIVING AND MY CAR COMPLETELY SHUT DOWN/OFF ON ITS OWN I WAS DRIVING 40MPH I HAD TO PUT IT IN NEUTRAL AND START IT AGAIN WHILE THE CAR WAS STILL GOING OVER 35MPR. I HAVE HAD THIS CAR LESS THAN SIX MONTHS THERE IS NO WARNING LIGHT ON IT IS VERY DANGEROUS PLEASE FIX. THANK YOU
