2005 Ford Taurus Electrical system Problems

“I have a 2005 Ford Taurus. Whenever there is moderate to heavy rainfall, water leaks into the passenger side under the dash, soaking the floor and the blower motor will not work. While driving the windshield fogs over and I cannot get the blower to turn on, causing visibility issues while driving on the road. This is happening to a lot of people, this should be investigated and a recall issued.”

“My accelerator sticks about 50m.p.h., I had to put the car in neutral and kick it down as my tach was at high r.p.m, after I applied the brakes. Car does this intermintally.”

“This vehicle was in motion on a busy street. It slowed down,sputtered,and would not move.it was in gear (d) drive. I was able to coast it off the main street to safety.the engine light and the check transmission alerts were on. Accelerator seemed stuck as well. There are only 77,000 miles. I am told that the transmission is gone. There are more that 170 complaints concerning this car. Ford needs to take responsibility and repair these transmissions. Some owners have been on the highway. I was fortunate,I was only on a busy street. Turning was also difficult. …”

“While driving down an interstate at approximately 65 MPH, the electrical system in my 2005 Ford Taurus shut off. All of the gauges went dead. The car did not stall, but I slowly started decelerating the car. Five seconds later, the system suddenly restarted like nothing had happened. I called the local Ford dealer where the car was purchased and they stated that if they can't reproduce the incident, there's nothing they can do about it. The car has approximately 102,000 miles on it.”

“An electrical fire started in the dashboard to the left of the steering wheel in my 2005 Ford Taurus car on monday september 29, 2008 at 6:30am. Within 5 minutes of smelling the smoke my entire car burned to the ground. I complained to Ford about this happening and they were not willing to do anything. They do not stand behind their vehicles at all. The worst part is that I still have 12 months of payments on the car and they still want their money. …”
