Consumer Description

TO, WHOM IT MY CONCERN . I BOUGHT A BRAND NEW FORD TAURUS IN 1998 WITH IN THE FIRST TWO YEARS OF OWNING THE CAR WE'VE HAD NEW ROTORS PUT ON THE CAR TWICE THIS WIL BE THE THIRD TIME IT WILL BE GOING INTO THE SHOP FOR FRONT BRAKES . EACH TIME I GO THEY TELL ME THAT (THE ARE JUST WARPED AND WE WILL REPLACE THEM FOR YOU AT NO CHARGE ) . BUT , AFTER HAVING THE CAR BACK FOR A COUPLE OF WEEK THE SAME SEVER SHUTTERING HAPPENS . THIS HAS BEEN AND ON GOING PROBLEM FROM THE START . THE BRAKES ON THIS CAR ARE NOT CAPABLE OF HANDLING THE WEIGHT OF THE CAR. THE SECOND CONCERN IS THE WAY THE CAR S TRANS IS SHIFTING , ALSO LEAKS . IN 99 I HAD A FORD SHOP LOOK AT THE TRANS . THEY SAID THE SPEED SENSOR WAS LEAKING THEY REPLACED IT FREE OF CHARGE BUT , WHEN THE CAR SHIFTS GEARS ARUOND A CORNER AT IDLE OR COASTING AND I GO TO STEP INTO THE GAS IT LIKE ITS IN NEUTAL THIS MAKES ME FEEL AS IF I'M NOT IN CONTROL OF THE CAR . JUST A NOTE I LOVE FORD BUT, I'VE NOT HAD ANY LUCK IN FIXING ANY OF THESE PROBLES. THANKS SINCERLY JAMES QUINN. *AK
