2000 FORD TAURUS Power Trainautomatic Transmission Problems

I WAS AT A STOP LIGHT AND TRIED TO DRIVE AND MY 2000 FORD TAURUS WOULD NOT MOVE. IT HAS NOT SHOWN ANY SIGNS OF THE TRANSMISSION SLIPPING IN THE PAST. IT HAS HAD 2 ENGINES AND AN AC COMPRESSOR WHICH WAS COVERED UNDER WARRANTY. THE WARRANTY IS UP AND NO ONE CAN GIVE ANY ADVICE. I HAVE HEARD THIS IS AN ONGOING PROBLEM WITH THE FORD TAURUS. *TR

MY 2000 FORD TAURUS TRANSMISSION IS NOT WORKING. THE CAR ONLY HAS 45,567 MILES ON IT, AND ARE THE ORIGINAL ONES AS CHECKED BY CAR FACTS. ONE DAY AS I WAS DRIVING DOWN A MAJOR HIGHWAY IN ATLANTA, GEORGIA MY VEHICLE STOPPED IN THE MIDDLE OF ONGOING TRAFFIC. IF I DIDN'T TURN ON MY HAZARD LIGHTS AND LIFT THE FRONT HOOD ON MY VEHICLE, I COULD HAVE BEEN HIT, INJURED OR KILLED. I HAVE HEARD NUMEROUS PEOPLE STATING THAT THEIR FORD TAURUS HAS TRANSMISSION PROBLEMS. SO, WHY HAS THE MANUFACTURER NOT RECALLED THIS CAR? THE ONLY WARNING I HAD WAS THE DAY BEFORE WHEN FLUID LEAKED FROM UNDER THE CAR HOOD. I AM VERY UPSET BECAUSE I ALWAYS GET MY VEHICLE MAINTENANCE AND GET OIL CHANGES EVERY 3,000 MILES. *TR

2000 FORD TAURUS SE FFV WAGON. STRONG SHUDDER WHEN IN STOPPING IN REVERSE BACKING OUT OF PARKING LOT. TOOK TO DEALERSHIP AND WAS TOLD "SOMETHING" INSIDE THE TRANSMISSION IS FAILING.

TRANSMISSION PROBLEM: I HAVE HAD MY 2000 FORD TAURUS FOR ONLY 3 YEARS AND THE CAR'S TRANSMISSION IS NO GOOD! THE EXACT MILEAGE ON THE ODOMETER READS 48,143 MILES. I FEEL THAT I HAVE BEEN SOLD A LEMON. MY HUSBAND WAS DRIVING OUR CAR ON 10/7/07 WHILE ON OUR TRIP TO ATLANTA, GEORGIA AND THE CAR BROKE DOWN IN THE MIDDLE OF A MAJOR HIGHWAY - JIMMY CARTER BOULEVARD. HIS LIFE WAS IN DANGER BECAUSE ANOTHER PASSENGER'S CAR ALMOST CRASHED INTO THE BACK OF OUR VEHICLE. THE CAR WAS RUNNING AND SUDDENLY STOPPED. THE CAR NOTE WILL NOT BE PAID OFF UNTIL DECEMBER '2008. I FEEL THAT THERE DEFINITELY NEEDS TO BE A SAFETY RECALL ON THIS PARTICULAR FORD MODEL CAR. I FEEL THAT I WILL NEED TO MAKE A TELEVISION APPEARANCE ON CONSUMER REPORT AND MAKE THE PUBLIC AWARE OF THIS PROBLEM. *TR

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2000 FORD TAURUS. WHEN DRIVING BELOW 65 MPH, THE VEHICLE FAILS TO ACCELERATE PROPERLY. THE FAILURE OCCURS AT LEAST FOUR TIMES PER DAY.

TRANSMISSION FAILED AT 42000 MILES

NOTICED WITHIN LAST 2000 MILES THAT THE TRANSMISSION WOULD SLIP AND JERK WHEN DRIVING UP STEEP GRADES OR SHARP TURNS, WHEN IT WOULD ATTEMPT TO DOWNSHIFT FROM 3RD TO 2ND. IT FAILED COMPLETELY LAST NIGHT WHILE DRIVING HOME, FORTUNATELY WE WERE ONLY 3 MILES FROM OUR HOME. NOW IT WILL ONLY GO 25 MPH AND HAS A BURNING ODOR. IT HAS 103K MILES AND THE AUTO TRANS WAS SERVICED (FILTER/FLUID CHANGED) EVERY 35K MILES. WE WILL GET AN ESTIMATE FOR THE REPAIR/REPLACEMENT, HOWEVER I SUSPECT A BILL FROM $1500-2200 IS IN ORDER. ALL THE NEWS I HEARD ABOUT FORD AUTOMATICS IS NOW SUBSTANTIATED....THIS IS THE LAST FORD FOR US PERIOD. *NM

DT*: THE CONTACT STATED WHILE TURNING AROUND IN THE DRIVEWAY, THE GEARS WOULD NOT SHIFT. THIS HAPPENED WITHOUT WARNING. THE DEALER WAS ALERTED. UPDATED 12/1/20006 - THE SHIFTER CABLE BROKE. *NM

HAVING TROUBLE WITH SHIFTER CABLE ON THIS CAR, AFTER PUTTING CAR INTO I THOUGHT WAS PARK, THE CAR DRIFTED AND THE BRAKES HAD TO BE APPLIED. THE BOLT FELL OUT AND THE CAR WOULD NOT START. THIS SHOULD BE LOOKED INTO ASAP AND THEN RECALL SAID ITEM, THIS IS A SERIOUS SAFETY MATTER. *JB

I WAS DRIVING MY 2000 FORD TAURUS SE HOME. AT THE INTERSECTION OF COLUMBIA AND MERIDIAN ROADS SOUTH OF MERIDIAN, IDAHO I PULLED OUT FROM COLUMBIA AND TURNED NORTH ONTO A BUSY MERIDIAN ROAD. I HEARD A CLUNK AND I THOUGHT THE CAR HAD POPPED OUT OF GEAR. I COASTED TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD AND FOUND THE CAR WOULD NOT GO IN ANY GEAR EXCEPT REVERSE. I FELT FORTUNATE THAT I WAS NOT REAR ENDED BECAUSE OF THE AMOUNT OF TRAFFIC THAT DAY. I HAD THE TAURUS TOWED TO AAMCO TRANSMISSION. THEIR DIAGNOSIS WAS TRANSMISSION FAILURE AND I HAD THEM REPAIR THE TRANSMISSION WHICH INCLUDED A REBUILT TORQUE CONVERTER, NEW BANDS, SPRAG CLUTCH/LOW CLUTCH, REAR SUN GEAR & DRUM, BOOST VALVE, PRESSURE CONTROL SOLENOID, ASSEMBLY SET, FILTER AND FLUIDS.

MY 2000 FORD TAURUS WAS OUT OF WARRANTY (53,000 MILES) WHEN THE TRANSMISSION AND TORQUE CONVERTER HAD TO BE REPLACED. I WROTE TO WILLIAM CLAY FORD, JR. OFFICE AND WAS TOLD IN A NICE WAY "TOO BAD SO SAD" IT'S OUT OF WARRANTY. AND PEOPLE WONDER WHY ITS SO DIFFICULT TO STAY LOYAL TO AMERICAN PRODUCTS? THE FOREIGN VEHICLES ARE WARRANTED 5-10 YEARS, WE MUST KNOW OURS ARE ONLY GOOD FOR 3 YEARS AND ONLY WARRANTY THEM FOR 3 YEARS. I HAD HOPED TO GET AT LEAST 1/2 OF MY $2,000 BILL REIMBURSED. NO CHANCE OF THAT. BETWEEN WHAT I OWE AND JUST PUT INTO THE CAR, I'M IN A NO WIN SITUATION. IN ONE YEAR THIS NEW TRANSMISSION WILL BE OUT OF WARRANTY. DO I DARE KEEP THE JUNKER FORD? *LA

THE CONSUMER WAS UNABLE TO TURN THE KEY IN THE IGNITION SWITCH, AND TO SHIFT THE TRANSMISSION OUT OF THE PARK POSITION. *AK THE BRAKE LIGHT HAD BECOME INOPERATIVE.

PURCHASED A 2000 FORD TAURUS IN 2001 WITH 22,479 MILES, NOW HAS APPROXIMATELY 43,000 MILES. ON SEPT. 27TH, WHEN WIFE OF THE I WAS BACKING UP OUT OF A PARKING SPACE THE STEERING WHEEL BEGAN TO VIBRATE AND STOPPED BACKING UP. IT TOOK ABOUT THREE ATTEMPTS FOR THE CAR TO REVERSE SUCCESSFULLY. I TOOK THE CAR TO THE DEALER AND CONCLUDED THAT THE DAMAGE WAS CAUSED BY THE O-RING SEAL WHEN INSPECTED; IN ADDITION, THE DEALER FOUND DAMAGE ON REAR PISTON, TORQUE CONVERTER, AND FOUR OTHER PARTS OF THE VEHICLE. I AM SEEKING REIMBURSEMENT FROM FORD MOTOR COMPANY FOR THE REPLACEMENT AND/OR REPAIRS OF THE DAMAGED COMPONENTS OF THE VEHICLE. *LA

WHILE DRIVING THE AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION WENT OUT OF GEAR IN THE MIDDLE OF AN INTERSECTION. THE TRANSMISSION WOULD ONLY GO INTO REVERSE. THIS FAILURE WAS CAUSED DUE TO INADEQUATE LUBRICATION OF THE TRANSMISSION WHEN MANUFACTURED. *AK *TS *NLM

WHILE DRIVING THE DRIVER NOTICED SMOKE COMING FROM THE REAR OF VEHICLE. THE DRIVER STOPPED AND SAW SMOKE COMING FROM THE TAIL PIPE AND FLUID DRIPPING UNDER THE VEHICLE. AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC INFORMED THE CONSUMER THAT THE TRANSMISSION CASE CRACKED AND REPLACED IT. *AK

WHILE TRAVELING ON THE HIGHWAY AND WITHOUT PRIOR WARNING APPLIED THE GEAR IN DRIVE AND VEHICLE WENT INTO REVERSE, CAUSING AN ACCIDENT. *AK

THE TRANSMISSION MADE A WHINNING NOISE. THE VEHICLE WAS TRANSPORTED TO A DEALERSHIP, AND THE CONSUMER WAS TOLD A NEW TRANSMISSION WAS NEEDED.*AK PH *JB

MY 2000 TAURUS REQUIRED A MAJOR REPAIR BEFORE IT WAS 2 YRS. OLD. THE TRANS. HAD TO BE OVERHAULED. THE TORQUE CONVERTER COULD NOT STAND THE HEAT PER THE REPAIR PERSON. FORD CO. WAS CONTACTED BUT REFUSED TO REIMBURSE ME FOR $1,985. THEIR REASON WAS BECAUSE I DID NOT CHOOSE TO HAVE THE WORK DONE AT A FORD SHOP. THE FORD QUOTE WAS $1,000 HIGHER THAN A NON-FORD SHOP. SINCE WHEN SHOULD A CUSTOMER BE PUNISHED FOR MITIGATING DAMAGES? I DID HAVE A FORD SHOP ANALYZE THE PROBLEM INITIALLY, BUT AT THAT TIME HAD NO ASSURANCE THAT FORD WOULD REIMBURSE ME, SO WHY SHOULD I SIGN UP TO PAY FORD'S HIGH REPAIR COSTS? THE ALUMINUM PARTS BEING USED IN THE TRANS. CAN'T STAND HEAT AND THEREFORE FAIL. FORD NEEDS TO ADMIT POOR QUALITY AND RECALL THEM. *JB ***DIMSII IVOQ ENTRY POSTED AFTER 12/12/02 CUT-OVER TO ARTEMIS****770821***

THE TRANSMISSION SHUT DOWN WHILE CROSSING A BUSY INTERSECTION. THE TRANSMISSION NOW WORKS ONLY IN THE REVERSE GEAR. *NLM *CB *NLM

TIRES: REPORTED VIBRATION , SHIMMY AND PULLING TO THE LEFT. TOOK TO DEALER 6/24/2000 (1829) MILES, BALANCED TIRES. ON 11/14/2000 (9061)MILES, 04/23/2001 (12871) BALANCED TIRES. FINALLY, 5/25/2001 (14518) REPLACED TWO FRONT TIRES. VIBRATION AND SHIMMY STOPPED BUT KEPT PULLING TO THE LEFT. ON 10/10/2001 (23876) MILES, CHARGED ME FOR ALIGNMENT, CAR STOPPED PULLING. TRANSMISSION: AT APPROXIMATELY 40800 MILES CAR HAD A NOTICEABLE SHUDDER WHILE GOING IN REVERSE. TOOK TO THE DEALER AND WAS TOLD IT WAS A CRACKED CASING AS NOTED IN TSB 15559 NHTSA NUMBER (630095) CAUSED BY MISS MANUFACTURE OF A PART. WAS INFORMED DEALER OR FORD MOTOR CO. WOULD NOT ASSIST WITH REPAIR COST TO EXCEED $1495. BRAKES: REPORTED BRAKE PROBLEM ON 5/25/2001 AND 10/10/2001 WHEN IT WAS SERVER, SHAKING AND CONTROL PROBLEMS WHEN STOPPING. DEALER CUT FRONT ROTORS WHICH WAS OUT OF SPEC.- PROBLEM IS BACK. FUEL: HAVE SMELLED GAS IN MY CAR MANY TIMES. BOUGHT...

THE STEERING WHEEL VIBRATED AT SPEEDS OF 40-50 MPH. ALSO THE AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION DID NOT SEEM TO ENGAGE IN THE CORRECT GEAR.*JB

THE CAR JERKS AND HESITATES CONTINUOUSLY. PH

TRANSAXLE WARNING LIGHT CAME ON SO I TOOK THE CAR TO LOCAL FORD SERVICE. THEY SAID THE TORQUE CONVERTER WAS "LOCKED UP AND WOULDN'T TURN" (EVEN THOUGH I WAS ABLE TO DRIVE THE CAR IN JUST FINE!). THEY SAID THE TRANSMISSION HAD TO BE REBUILT. I GOT THEIR ESTIMATE ALONG WITH ESTIMATES FROM 2 OTHER AUTO REPAIR SHOPS IN TOWN. I CHOOSE A TRANSMISSION SHOP AND HAD THE CAR TOWED THERE. THEIR ESTIMATE WAS $1000 LESS THAN FORD SERVICE. THE NEW MECHANIC SAID THE PROBLEM IS DUE TO POOR DESIGN USING ALUMINUM PARTS THAT CAN'T TAKE THE HEAT. FORD REFUSES TO REIMBURSE ME CLAIMING THE DENIAL IS DUE TO MY HAVING THE REPAIR DONE BY AN INDEPENDENT TRANS. SHOP AND NOT AT FORD SERVICE WHICH WOULD HAVE COST ME $1000 MORE. I'M DENIED REIMBURSEMENT BECAUSE I MITIGATED THE DAMAGES. WHAT EVER HAPPENED TO FAIRNESS AND COMMON SENSE?

TAURUS TRANSMISSION HAS FAILED TWICE AND BEEN FOR SERVICE 4 TIMES. LOCAL FORD DEALERSHIPS NON-RESPONSIVE WITH ASSISTANCE.*AK

CONSUMER STATES VEHICLE HAD A COMPLETE TRANSMISSIN REPAIR.*JB

THE AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION OF THIS VEHICLE LITERALLY FELL APART, WHILE THE CAR WAS BEING OPERATED. LUCKILY MY WIFE AND 3 CHILDREN WERE NOT ON THE HIGHWAY WHEN THIS OCCURRED! AFTER HAVING THE TRANSMISSION LOOKED AT AND FIXED, WE WERE TOLD BY THE MECHANICS THAT A GEAR BROKE, AS A RESULT OF POOR CRAFTSMANSHIP. AS A RESULT THE TRANSMISSION WAS DESTROYED. THERE WAS NOTHING THAT WE COULD HAVE DONE TO PREVENT THIS FROM HAPPENING. FORD HAS A LONG HISTORY WITH FAULTY TRANSMISSIONS IN THE FORD TAURUS. FOR SOME REASON THEY ARE UNWILLING TO FIX THE PROBLEM. A TRANSMISSION WITH 42,000 MILES ON IT SHOULD NOT JUST FALL APART!*AK

VEHICLE WILL NOT COME OUT OF PARK. VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO A DEALER. SECONDLY, BRAKE LIGHTS WILL NOT SHUT OFF.*AK

WHILE DRIVING TRANSMISSION HAD FAILED THE SAME DAY AFTER BEING REPAIRED AT DEALERSHIP. VEHICLE TOWED TO DEALER, AND MECHANIC INDICATED A DEFECTIVE REAR LOOP SEAL ON TRANSMISSION. *AK

TOW DRIVER INDICATED TRANSMISSION WAS ON GROUND AND WOULD NEED TO REPLACE IT. CONSUMER FEELS THAT DEALER SHOULD REPLACE WITH ANOTHER VEHICLE. PROBLEM HAS DUPLICATED. *AK *TT

TRANSMISSION WOULD FAIL TO ENGAGE IN GEAR PROPERLY. HAVE TAKE TO DEALERSHIP 6 TIMES. HAD IT TEST DRIVEN, AND TRANSMISSION REPLACED TWICE. PROBLEM HAS REAPPEARED. CURRENTLY, TRANSMISSION IS BEING REPLACED FOR THIRD TIME. MECHANIC GAVE NO INDICATION OF CAUSE OF PROBLEM.*AK

AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION WOULD SLIP WHILE ACCELERATING, AND JUMP OUT OF GEAR. DEALERSHIP EXAMINED VEHICLE AND DETERMINED THAT TRANSMISSION NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. PLEASE PROVIDE ANY ADDITIONAL INFORMATION/ATTACHMENTS.*AK

CONSUMER WAS BACKING OUT FROM GARAGE WITH TRANSMISSION IN REVERSE, AND COULDN'T PUT IT INTO ANOTHER GEAR. TRANSMISSION LOCKED UP. *AK
