DT: THE CONTACT STATED THAT ON DECEMBER 1, 2004 FRONT LEFT COIL SPRING BROKE THAT PUNCTURED THE TIRE. ALSO, THE KEY WILL NOT COME OUT OF THE IGNITION. ONCE IN AWHILE ONE COULD TURN THE STEERING WHEEL JUST RIGHT AND THE KEY WILL COME OUT. THE CONTACT HAD TO PRY OPEN THE HOOD OR IT WILL NOT OPEN. CONTACT HAS NOT TAKEN THE VEHICLE TO THE DEALER. THE BLOWER MOTOR WILL NOT WORK, AND THAT WAS WHAT FOGGED UP THE WINDOWS. HAD TO DASH OFF IN ORDER TO GET TO THE BLOWER. JULY 1, 2005 THE DOOR SENSOR WILL DING EVEN WHEN SHUT THE DOOR, AND IT WILL STAY ON UNTIL IT RUNS DOWN THE BATTERY. *AK

MY WIFE DROVE OUR 1999 FORD TAURUS SE TO THE STORE AND WHEN SHE WENT TO LEAVE THE KEY WOULD NOT FIT IN THE IGNITION SWITCH. AFTER NUMEROUS ATTEMPTS SHE FINALLY GOT THE KEY IN BUT IT WOULD NOT TURN THE IGNITION SWITCH. HER AND MY KIDS WHERE STRANDED IN TOWN CLOSE TO HOME. BUT WITH ME BEING DEPLOYED IT COULD HAVE BEEN A LOT WORSE. I NEED TO KNOW IF THERE HAS BEEN ANY OTHER ISSUES WITH THE IGNITION SWITCHES GOING BAD ON THIS TYPE OF CAR.
