“I have had to have my drivers window worked on twice. It tends to squeal loudly when putting down, as if glass rubbing metal. This happens, no matter if you are sitting, rolling, etc. Ford has adjusted twice now under 36k.”

“This is about my transmission. It is doing the same grinding sounds as the recalled Ford f150's however it is not on the recall list. My car is the 2014 Ford Taurus.”

“As I was driving down the highway at 70 plus MPH my car lost acceleration power this makes the 3 time it has done this, but this time I was stuck in the fast lane with now power because a car was in the slow lane, I was stuck I had to throw on my emergency blinkers and wait before I could get over to the shoulder I had cars locking it up behind me about hitting me. This is very very dangerous. As I was looking up what it could be I have seen multiple complaints about this, I don't understand why this hasn't been looked into my car is a 2014 car with less then 50k miles.”

“Went to start car again after driving it for 10minutes. Would not start. Hit the start button and nothing. The engine light came on. I tried to jump the car, thinking battery. However, nothing had to get a ride home at 11pm in the rain and towed it into the shop in the morning. Still waiting on outcome. Fran k, ocala fl”

“Ford has just announced a recall for certain model year Taurus and Fusion vehicles regarding malfuntion of the backup camera. My 2014 Taurus is not included in the recall, notwithstanding the fact that it exhibits the same malfuntioning characteristics as those included in the recall: sometimes presenting a black screen, sometimes presenting an upsidedown image, and occasionally presenting a correct image. The camera began exhibiting these characteristics about four years ago. I believe that the recall population should be extended to include the 2014 Taurus.”
