2000 Ford Taurus Other or unknown Problems

“My car door doesn't always latch immediately when I close the door. Sometimes I have to drive 5 miles holding the car door closed with one hand before the door will latch. This happens during the winter months. The car has to warm up before the door will latch. I have tried lubricating the door latch and that doesn't work. There haven't been any technical service bulletins written about this issue. The car door latch works great during spring, fall and summer.”

“This vehicle has been a nightmare since we bought it from team Ford in june. The car has been to the dealer three times for two days per incident and the same problems continue while they gradually discover more problems each time.

The car makes a rotational grinding noise while at freeway speeds, when going over bumps or taking an involved turn the car makes a pop/crack noise from left/front of car. The car has stalled three times during freeway and city driving. …”
