2013 FORD TAURUS Engine Problems

WHILE DRIVING TO A DR APPTOINTMENT I WAS ON THE FREEWAY AT ABOUT 70 MPH WHEN THE CAR STALLED, I LOST ACCELERATION AND A WRENCH LIGHT CAME APPEARED. FORTUNATELY I WAS NEAR AN EXIT WHERE I WAS ABLE TO GET OFF THE FREEWAY, AND FIND A GAS STATION, AS I IDLED INTO THE GAS STATION AT ABOUT 2-3 MPH. I SHUT THE CAR OFF AND RESTARTED IT, AND OPERATION RETURNED TO NORMAL FOR ABOUT A WEEK. THEN TODAY, AS I WAS DRIVING MY KIDS TO SCHOOL AND WAS IN THE TURNING LANE TO ENTER THE FREEWAY IT DID THE SAME THING, NOT ONCE BUT TWICE IN A SPAN OF 15 MILES. AGAIN FORTUNATELY I WAS ABLE TO PULL OFF ONTO THE SHOULDER AND RESTART THE VEHICLE. OUT OF FEAR I TOOK ALL BACK ROADS HOME INCASE IT HAPPENED AGAIN, WHICH IT DID. I FOUND A RECALL FOR THIS MAKE AND...

I WAS DRIVING TO WORK WHEN THE ENGINE TEMP WARNING ACTIVATED. I CONTINUED ON TO WORK, WHICH WAS LESS THAN A MILE AWAY, AND PARKED. I NOTICED STEAM COMING FROM UNDER THE HOOD. I POPPED THE HOOD AND SAW COOLANT POURING FROM SOMEPLACE UNDERNEATH THE ENGINE. HAD THE CAR TOWED TO THE SHOP, AND IT WAS INITIALLY DIAGNOSED AS A MISSING FREEZE PLUG. FURTHER INSPECTION REVEALED THAT THE ENGINE BLOCK WAS CRACKED. NO LEAKS HAD BEEN NOTED DURING PREVIOUS OIL CHANGE AND ALL FLUIDS WERE TOPPED OFF. NO FREEZING TEMPERATURES HAD OCCURRED IN THE DAYS PRIOR TO THE INCIDENT. THE VEHICLE IS BEING TOWED TO ANOTHER SHOP THAT DEALS WITH MAJOR REPAIRS. WARRANTY COMPANY WAS CONTACTED FOR GUIDANCE AND I WAS INFORMED BY THEM THAT THEY WILL NOT COVER THE REPAIRS IF THE CRACKS WERE CAUSED BY FREEZING OR OVERHEATING. INSPECTION BY WARRANTY COMPANY PENDING, BUT I HAVE THE FEELING...

THE VEHICLE HAS STALLED ON ME WHILE IN MOTION GOING DOWN CITY STREETS. IT HAS BEEN IN THE SHOP TWICE THIS YEAR TO REPAIR/FIND THE PROBLEM. STILL NO RESULTS. EVEN WHEN THE CAR DOES START I AM AFRAID TO DRIVE IT BECAUSE IT WILL AND HAS STALLED ON ME IN TRAFFIC. AUTOMOTIVE SHOP TOLD ME IT WAS A BAD FUEL PUMP RELAY. I PAID TO HAVE THAT REPLACED. NOT EVEN A WEEK LATER, ONLY SIX DAYS LATER THE CAR STALLS AGAIN. I TOOK IT BACK TO THE SHOP WHERE THEY GOT IT RUNNING AGAIN FOR FREE. BUT ONLY TEMPORARILY. COUPLE WEEKS LATER AT THE MOST AND I'M RIGHT BACK TO WHERE I STARTED. CAR WILL...

ON 8/1/15, MY SON, MY FATHER, AND I WERE HEADING BACK FROM VACATION. MY FATHER WAS DRIVING WHEN HE WENT TO ACCELERATE; WE HEARD A "POP" FROM THE ENGINE. MY SON STATED THAT HE SMELT SMOKE. MY FATHER AND I HADN'T AT THAT TIME. NOT EVEN A MINUTE LATER, THE DASHBOARD FLASHED A "SERVICE SOON" AND TO CHECK MANUAL. BEFORE I COULD THUMB THRU THE MANUAL, MY FATHER STATED THAT WE HAD LOST POWER. HE WAS COASTING OVER TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD WHEN WE BOTH SMELLED SMOKE. SHORTLY AFTER THAT, WE SAW SMOKE AND FIRE FROM THE DRIVERS SIDE HOOD. BEFORE HE HAD THE CAR STOPPED, SMOKE AND FLAMES WERE ROLLING OUT. WE WERE ABLE TO GET EVERYTHING OUT OF THE VEHICLE BUT THE CAR WAS A TOTAL LOSS. I CONTACTED THE DEALERSHIP ALONG WITH FORD MOTOR COMPANY REGARDING THIS ISSUE. MY CAR HAD LESS THAN 33K MILES....

TOOK MY CAR TO FORD DEALER: THEY WERE ABLE TO REPRODUCE ISSUE, READ DIAGNOSTIC CODE P2111, AND ATTEMPTED TO FIX THE ISSUE BY PERFORMING MAINTENANCE TO THE CONNECTOR.

THIS IS A POLICE INTERCEPTOR VEHICLE. WHEN ATTEMPTING TO GO FROM REVERSE TO DRIVE WHILE THE VEHICLE IS STILL IN REVERSE MOTION[APPROX. 5 MPH] AS SOON AS IT IS PUT IN DRIVE, THE ENGINE STALLS.

I DROVE MY 2013 FORD TAURUS APPROXIMATELY 4 MILES TO MY HOME. AFTER CUTTING THE CAR OFF I NOTICED SMOKE BILLOWING FROM UNDER THE HOOD. I RESTARTED THE CAR TO BACK OUT FROM UNDER MY CARPORT. I CUT THE CAR OFF AND WITHIN SECONDS THE CAR WAS ENGULFED IN FLAMES CAUSING A TOTAL LOSS. THERE WERE NO WARNING SIGNS OR SIGNALS. IT WAS VERY QUICK. MY INSURANCE COMPANY SETTLED THE CLAIM AND IS SUBROGATING WITH FORD. FORD HAS SHOWN NO INTEREST ABOUT SEEING THE CAR, FINDING OUT WHAT HAPPENED OR DETERMINING THE POSSIBLE CAUSE OF THE FIRE. THIS IS VERY DISAPPOINTING AS THIS COULD HAVE BEEN VERY DANGEROUS IF IT HAD HAPPENED WHILE DRIVING, NOT TO MENTIONED IF IT HAD CAUGHT MY HOUSE ON FIRE. I AM VERY DISAPPOINTED WITH FORD AND CHOSE NOT TO PURCHASE ANOTHER FORD, NOR WILL I RECOMMEND ONE. BY THE WAY THE CAR WAS STILL...
