“The entire front end of the muffler system fell to the ground on my 2007 Ford Taurus, shortly after pulling out the driveway. If this would have happened on the highway it might have been real bad and involved other people on the road. Thank god it was on a side street. If it would have ent in a pot hole at a decent speed, I am sure it would have been ugly.”
NHTSA complaint #10329435, filed 2010-05, 42,753 miles“Fortunately the 2007 Ford Taurus was in the parking lot when the whole exhaust fell off the vehicle due to a melted flang. Was not aware that we had to check a TSB for the safety of our vehicle. It is still under warranty so do not have to pay. Very worried about other drivers safety. Could not imagine driving 65 miles per hour and have your exhaust fall off.”
NHTSA complaint #10269416, filed 2009-05, 37,000 miles“We pulled out of our driveway and drove around the corner when we heard a load noise. The car had little power; therefore, we turned around and, slowly, drove back to our home. Upon inspecting the vehicle, it was found that the exhaust pipe had dropped and was dragging on the ground. I did a search for 2007 Ford Taurus exhaust system problems and found that this is a very common occurrance for this vehicle year. I am concerned that the vehicle was not recalled and the problem repaired at no cost to the consumer. …”
NHTSA complaint #10442613, filed 2012-01, 120,000 miles“I parked my car at work in the morning. Got in it at lunch and realized that the exhaust had fallen off at the manifold. The mechanic said that it was a bad weld job from the manufacturer. This is the first occurrence and hopefully the last.”
NHTSA complaint #10242977, filed 2008-09, 36,300 miles“Bought a 2007 Ford Taurus, have had nothing but problems. Al hendrickson toyota was the dealership. Tires were wearing out every 500 miles, each time they said it was the alignment. Have had many cars in my 40 years of driving. Told them the car must have been in an accident and I wanted another car was refused.. Then the engine blew up had warranty, the engine that was just put n is also no good I think their fraudulent selling practices should be stopped. I am an elderly female,disabled and cannot get to drs ect without a car.”
