“Opened my sunroof and it broke. It got stuck open and we had to take it apart to get it closed. Now I have to pay to get it fixed when it was plastic pieces that broke. Had a storm come through and the inside of my car was flooded. I have record of everything. Seems that if water gets on the electrical parts it will start shorting everything out causing the car to catch fire.”
NHTSA complaint #10731746, filed 2015-07, 41,000 miles“My 2010 Ford Taurus front driver door first felt like the door handle was sprung. It did that for a week or two. Then next thing I know I can't open the door with the handle on the inside of a door! I have to lower window, unlock the car, open handle from outside. Then raise drivers window, get out of car and then lock the door. This is very difficult because I'm going through active breast cancer treatment and having to bend my arm like that.”
NHTSA complaint #11234268, filed 2019-07, 1 miles“While I was stopped in traffic, my wife accidentally touched the trunk release button while she was tuning the radio. The trunk lid opened. I pulled out of traffic as soon as possible so I could close the trunk lid. The car manual indicates that the trunk lid will open at speeds under 3 MPH or less. It seems to me that the trunk lid should not open when the transmission is engaged.”
NHTSA complaint #10394918, filed 2011-04, 10,835 miles“I have problems with brake and transmission passes the changes and gives a hit. The brake is going to the bottom and makes noise, on occasion gets hard the pedal and no brakes,I was talking to a person who has a Ford edge 2010 and it passed the same, the person called to Ford and had a recall and Ford fixed it, I called for my Taurus no recall of that, but it is curious that suffers from the same problem and Ford not give me a recall . Sometimes when I accelerated the car does not respond as suppose to.”
NHTSA complaint #10904256, filed 2016-09, 30 miles“Moon roof will not close all the way. Front spring loaded close out seal on car as part of track of moon roof not letting moon roof go down. Held seal down manually, started moon roof forward with forward moon roof switch and moon roof works perfect just so you know to look for binding or obstruction if roof will not close. Not in the book”
