2007 Ford Taurus Electrical system Problems

“I was driving and started to break coming up to a red light. The car did slow down but I could feel from my foot on the break pedal, a vibration and the car engine started making a rumbling sound, like it was revving in high gear. I took my foot slightly off the break and the car accelerated forward on its own. I pulled into a parking lot and was able to park and take out the keys. It was towed to a Ford dealership. They said the speed control cable is broken.”

“I have a water leak on my passanger side floor which shorted out my heater blower I had noticed the leak it happened tonight while I was driving then when I turned on my heat the blower stopped working.”

We have researched and found other people with the same problem. Some dying at 70 MPH on highways with no warning. Sporadic dying up to 5 times daily or months between incidents. …”

“Takata recall I was driving 60mph and tried to set cruise control and took for off gas ABS the car kept accelerating fast. About 80mph I tapped the brake, cruise control light turned off and car kept accelerating and rpms were in the red. I pushed as hard as I could on the brakes and car kept accelerating past 85mph and I was now coming into 30mph zone and rpms were high and I tried to put it in neutral cause I didn't know what to do. The engine revved completely up with rpms and I finally just threw it in park in road and turned car off and called insurance for tow truck. …”

“While driving at night on my way home I seen a flash on the mileage screen and then it became blank now nothing appears on the mileage. Ford claims it will be about 900.00 to fix it.”
