IT IS A KNOWN FACT, TO FORD AND THEIR DEALERS, THAT THE 1996 THROUGH 1999 FORD TAURUS V8 SHO HAVE DEFECTIVE CAM SHAFTS. WHY HASN'T ANTHING BEEN DONE TO PROTECT THE DRIVING PUBLIC FROM THIS MENACE. GO TO THE FOLLOWING WEB PAGE. *AK HTTP://AUTO.COM/INDUSTRY/TAURUS24_20021024.HTM MY SON WAS DRIVING A 1999 FORD TAURUS V8 SHO WHEN THE CAMSHAFT FAILED CAUSING THE CAR TO LOSE POWER STEERING AND POWER BRAKES. ONLY BY THE GRACE OF GOD HE WAS NOT HURT. THERE ARE HUNDREDS, MORE LIKELY THOUSANDS OF FORD TAURUS V8 SHO CARS WITH DANGEROUS CAMSHAFT DEFECTS.

I AM THE OWNER OF A 99 TAURUS SHO. VIN#[XXX]. I LEARNED ONLY RECENTLY OF THE CAM GEARS SPINNING FREELY AND DESTROYING THE ENGINE. I AM FORKING OUT OVER FIVE HUNDRED DOLLARS OF MY MONEY TO HAVE THE GEARS WELDED TO THE CAMS. WHILE I PERSONALLY HAVE NOT HEARD OF ANY INJURIES THE POTENTIAL IS THERE. IMAGINE TRAVELING AT 70 MPH ON A BUSY INTERSTATE AND HAVING YOUR ENGINE FAIL. NO POWER STEERING NO BRAKES. IT COULD BE FATAL. THERE ARE NEARLY FOUR HUNDRED AND FIFTY DOCUMENTED CASES OF THIS AT WWW.V8SHO.COM. AND THE NUMBERS ARE RISING, BETWEEN 7- AND 12 PER MONTH. THESE ARE JUST THE ONES BEING REPORTED. I HAVE NO IDEA HOW MANY MORE THERE ARE. WHEN IT DOES HAPPEN THE ENGINE DAMAGE IS CATASTROPHIC AND REPAIR BILLS ARE IN EXCESS OF THREE THOUSAND DOLLARS. PLEASE LOOK IN TO THIS AND HELP. I UNDERSTAND A CLASS ACTION...

CAMSHAST SLIPPED AND CAUSED MOTOR DAMAGE. I WAS IN A PARKING LOT SO NO SAFETY ISSUE. HAVE READ THRU WWW.V8SHO.COM THIS IS A PROBLEM FORD DENIES AND THINK A RECALL IS IN ORDER. IT HAS HAPPENED TO PEOPLE WHILE DRIVING AND THEY LOST POWER STEERING AND BREAKING CAUSING A REAL SAFETY ISSUE
