| First our car engine light came on and started blinking. we had to have it towed in to an auto repair shop and have it checked out. while they were checking out the car, they found a problem with the fuel rail pressure range and performance and the fuel level sensor ckt fault. the car also showed that it needed a major servicing. two months after the car was serviced, i was heading home. on a busy hwy, when all of a sudden my car starts acting like it is out of gas. my gas hand said the car still had a 1/4 tank of gas. so i didn't know what was going on. well i managed to get to a gas station and found out that i was indeed out of gas. the gas hand didn't show that of neither did the gas light come on to tell me i was running low. after i filled up the car, my engine light came on again. so i called the auto repair shop i took the car to. i didn't know if it was something they did. come to find out when they ran the check on the car it was a recall they had found wrong with my car. i mentioned earlier what the problem was called it is in the third sentence. the repair man ran a check to see if it was a recall with my vehicle and found out that it was. in aug. 2000 ford motor co. sent out a service recall bulletin to all ford dealers, that there was a emissions recall 00e10 - certain 2000 model year taurus flex fuel vehicles- fuel delivery module replacement. i contacted ford about fixing this problem and they refused to do so. they told me that it was already done but i still have the problems and they can't give me the proof that it was fixed. so in my eyes until i see proof and until my car is fixed i don't believe them. i don't like having to drive my car around when at any moment i may run out of gas because i forgot to keep a check on my mileage. something i should not have to do in the first place since that is what gas hands are for. i also have two young children and i baby sit another whom i am constantly having to drive around with. please help me! *jb | |||

| This vehicle has been a nightmare since we bought it from team ford in june. the car has been to the dealer three times for two days per incident and the same problems continue while they gradually discover more problems each time. a car with 5200 miles on it should not need the varied and unique combination of replacements our car has required. the car makes a rotational grinding noise while at freeway speeds, when going over bumps or taking an involved turn the car makes a pop/crack noise from left/front of car. the car has stalled three times during freeway and city driving. the driver's side window creaks and shudders when being put up or down. the car hesitates when started in 80 degree weather and comes close to stalling when initially putting into gear. now and then car makes lunging motion and noise when put in drive or reverse. i could go on and on...i am reporting defects and problems to better business bureau and the nevada attorney general's office. please help! | |||

| Intake manifold in my ford taurus 2000 sel exploded.vehicle: fafp56s2yg125733. i had this happen to me yesterday with my 2000 ford taurus se. it has 25,000 miles on it. i had taken it to the dealership for some service last week (30th dec) and then had this happen yesterday when i started the car in my garage. we had been driving the car in the meanwhile. i don?t think it is related to the service (they did an oil change and replaced the air filter in addition to other things unrelated to the engine). there was a loud noise immediately after i started the car. it was scary enough that i was ducking behind the steering wheel with my hands covering my head. i thought something had fallen on the car from the garage shelves. then i saw smoke coming from under the hood. i popped up the hood and found that the intake manifold had blown open completely. i called up ford to see if there were any reported cases of this and was told that there was none. i got the car towed to the dealership and they are looking into it as i write this. i have pictures of the manifold and i have asked the dealership not to start any work before they inform me in a written report what the problem is. i have already found 3 other cases of this on the internet, 2 of which are 2000 taurus and sable and other one a mazda with the same engine as mine. i think two of them have already filed a complaint with your office. i would like to know how this problem will be addressed. *ak | |||

| Problems with brake lamp switch went out on 2000 ford taurus. *mr the brake light had gone out which was a recall item. the brake lamp switch had gone out again and the consumer discovered the vehicle would not go out of park into drive but was finally able to get it into neutral and then into drive (g2). the consumer was unaware the brake light was out, which was the third brake light switch in less than three years. the consumer requested a refund. there was noise which had come from the blower motor, and the fuel gauge acted erratic and the fuel pump was replaced. *scc *jb | |||
