Consumer Description

THE AUTO DOSN'T SLOW DOWN CORRECTLY. ON LEVEL HIGHWAY IT ONLY SLOWS TO 45MPH WITHOUT APPLYING THE BRAKES. MY 1992 FORD TAURUS DID NOT ACT THIS WAY. THE DEALER AND FORD CUSTOMER ASSISTANCE CENTER SAY THIS IS NORMAL, BUT THE LOANER CAR ALSO A 1998 TAURUS DID NOT ACT THIS WAY. THIS PROBLEM IS A SAFETY HAZARD, WASTES GASOLINE, AND CAUSED THE BREAKS TO WEAR OUT FASTER. I WOULD BE WILLING TO DEMONSTRATE THE CAR TO YOUR DEPARTMENT IF YOU HAVE A LOCATION IN WICHITA, KS. ALSO, YOUR WEB SITE IS NICE AND USER FRENDLY. THANKS, STEVE WRIGHT
