2015 FORD TAURUS Complaints

MY BACK WINDSHIELD ON MY FORD TAURUS EXPLODED, THERE WAS NO TRAFFIC AND NO ROCK OR OTHER DEBRIS HIT IT. IT JUST EXPLODED, AND HAVING A HARD TIME WITH FORD TO EXPLAIN AND OR FIX IT. PLEASE HELP. WHEN THIS HAPPENED I WAS DRIVING STRAIGHT AHEAD AT 30 MPH.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2015 FORD TAURUS. A COUPLE OF DAYS AFTER PURCHASING THE VEHICLE, THE CONTACT WITNESSED MOISTURE IN THE HEADLAMPS. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE MOISTURE AND CONDENSATION IN THE HEADLAMPS WAS NORMAL. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 1,100.

I WAS FULLY STOPPED AND TURNING LEFT AT A STOP LIGHT ON A CITY STREET, THE LIGHT WAS GREEN, I WAITED FOR TRAFFIC TO CLEAR. DURING THE MIDDLE OF THE LEFT TURN, I LOST STEERING FUNCTION: WHILE I TRIED TO TURN LEFT, THE VEHICLE VEERED RIGHT. THE RIGHT WHEEL STRUCK THE CURB. THE VEHICLE WAS THEN TOWED TO A FORD DEALERSHIP. THE LOWER CONTROL ARM AND BALL JOINT TOTALLY SEPARATED. THE DEALER CLAIMS THIS HAPPENED DUE TO STRIKING THE CURB, BUT THIS IS NOT THE CASE, IT HAPPENED DURING THE LEFT TURN.

PARKING BREAK LIGHT CAME ON AND IT SAID THE PARKING BREAK WAS INGAGED I STOPED AND CHECKED THE RELEASE PEDAL AND IT WAS ALL THE WAY OUT ITURNED CAR OFF AND RESTARED IT THE LIGHT WENT OFF BUT WHEN I STARTED ON DOWN THE ROAD THE LIGHT CAME ON AGAIN SO I WENT BACK HOME AND CLLED SHTTENKIRK FORD AND WAS TOLD TO HAVE IT TOWED TO THEIR JASPER GA. SHOP. THEY PUT IT IN SERVICE SHOP AND CAME OUT AND SAID THERE WAS NOTHING WRONG SO I TOLD THEM TEY WERE WRONG SO THE PUT BACK IN AND THEN CAME OUT AND SAID THE ROTORS WERE UNEVEN THEY RESURFACED THEM AND SAID NOW THE BREAKS ARE OK. IDROVE THE CAR TO INDIANNA AND BACK HOMEAND THEBREAKS STARTED MAKING A SRUBBING NOISE I CALLED SHOTTENKIRK AND WENT BACK TO THEM ON 8- 5 2015 AND THEY SAID THE BREAKS WERE OK. BUT THE BREAKS WERE STILL MAKEING BAD NOISE AND GRABBING WHEN TRYING TO STOP. ON 8-20-2015 I WENT TO CHESTATEE FORD IN DAHLONEGA, GA. AND THEY SAID IT WAS MAKEING A NOISE BUT THEY COULD NOT GET TO IT UNTILL THE NEXT WEEK. IT IS 8-24 2015 AND I WILL HAVE TO HAVE IT TOWED TO AHESTATEE FORD BECAUSE I AM AFRAID TO DRIVE IT.

AVIS RENTAL CAR IN LAS VEGAS, NV: PRESSING THE ENGINE START/STOP PUSHBUTTON SWITCH CAUSED THE WHOLE SWITCH ASSEMBLY TO FALL BACKWARDS DOWN BEHIND THE DASH PANEL, RENDERING THE TAURUS INOPERABLE. ALTHOUGH THIS INCIDENT OCCURRED IN A PARKING LOT, PRESSING THE ENGINE START/STOP PUSHBUTTON SWITCH AND HAVING IT FALL DOWN INTO THE DASHBOARD AREA CREATES A POTENTIAL SERIOUS SAFETY ISSUE. (THIS FREQUENTLY USED SWITCH SHOULD NOT BE MOUNTED FROM BEHIND THE PANEL WITH THE SMALL TANGS/GROOVES CURRENTLY USED.) I WAS UNABLE TO OBTAIN THE RENTAL CAR VIN BUT HAVE .JPG PHOTOS OF THE AFFECTED VEHICLE.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2015 FORD TAURUS. AFTER DRIVING THE VEHICLE, A STRONG ABNORMAL ODOR EMITTED FROM THE HOOD. WHEN THE CONTACT OPENED THE HOOD, THE STEAM WAS SO HOT THAT HE COULD NOT TOUCH THE RADIATOR HOSE. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER. THE TECHNICIAN STATED THAT THE WATER PUMP WAS PLACED IN A DIFFERENT LOCATION FROM PREVIOUS OLDER MODELS CAUSING THE RADIATOR TO EMIT HIGHER HEAT. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 300. UPDATED 5/11/15*CN
