2008 Ford Taurus Other or unknown Problems

“This has happened about 3 times in the last 2 yrs but while sitting at a light my car suddenly went forward. It didn't go.to far. Maybe a ft or 2 but was enough to scare me. My foot was on the brake. It will also get stuck in gears and lose power on the road. No check engine light is on as of now. One light did come on today while sitting at a light and without notice my car would not go. It was the power throttle/transmission light. I turned the car off and then back on and it drove fine all the way home. It did jerk once. …”

“My car will jerk and hesitate when I am trying to excelerate slowly, also it will do it while I am doing 50-60 and trying to speed up to pass someone.. I have tried fuel injection cleaner all my fluids have been checked, tune was done, no check engine light and mechanic can not figure out why it is doing it..it mirrors another complaint exacly..also every once in a while the inginiton will sick.. This happens all the time.. Since about february of this year”

“1. After being in stop and go traffic the transmission will start to slip. I try to press the gas and go nowhere, like I am stuck in 1st gear, I coast to a safe place and put the car in park start back up and it will act completely normal after that until another 3 months down the line. 2. Once in about 5/6 month I turn out into the street and the 'anti slip' feature turns itself on and it stops me dead in my tracks. It sounds horrible, and after I release the gas it will stop. Right now the vehicle is at the shop and I really hope they can find the cause of this”

“2008 Ford Taurus(automatic transmission) , I was on interstate doing speed-limit 60 MPH. When traffic became heavy so was slowed to 45 MPH. An when I went to accelerate the car began to jerk an had hesitation like transmission but only when pushed gas pedal. I have notice it bogs down around 60 MPH an jerks 3 or 4 times an seems like losing power an then it will pick back up normal drive few more miles an it will repeat. Also checked fluids an they are fine an dash isn't showing any service lights. But when o/d is off it gets intermittent power surge. …”
