I was approaching a very busy intersection and when I applied my brakes the car actually accelerated. I was able to stop before hitting the vehicle in front of me. I proceeded about a mile down the road and as I was turning into a strip mall the vehicle suddenly accelerated again. This time out of control. I when through the turn and hit a large curb and then ran into the guard rail. I ripped the guard rail off and still proceeded for an additional 150 feet on the grass before the vehicle finally came to a complete stop. It scared the hell out of me.

I don't even know where to begin. Every problem you could imagine with this car only ay 69k miles after Fords pathetic powertrian warranty expires. I bought this car at 66k miles spent 20 grand after tax and only made one payment besides the down payment. First off the ptu failed on this vehicle failed after 2k miles witch is a really common problem on this vehicle witch was a $900 part though Ford. Had this replaced and not only 7 days later and barely 1k miles the transmission failed causing the motor to overheat damaging the motor. . Now I have a $400+ payment on a vehicle that needs over $9000 in repairs between the motor and transmission and the dealer wont fix it because I didnt buy and extended warranty and its out of the factory 60k warranty. Note this is a 2016 (performance sedan) (sho) and this has been the most unreliable car I have ever bought. I would like to note I always buy Ford and have had issues here and there but nothing like this between break downs I didn't even get to drive the car 30 days and now own 6 years worth of payments. . . Thks car has literally broke me and Ford won't do anything to make it right there was clearly some sort of manufacture defect with this car and it should be recalled I would never recommend buy this car without a serious warranty because I know some people that have had better luck with this car in earlier models with the same drivetrain but mine can't be the only 16 sho that have had these problems and im sure other people have been left in hardship on now not having a car and have 20k in auto loan debt. All this happened under normal driving conditions. This car was built to be able to use on the track and completely failed under normal driving conditions. Very very disappointed and hope Ford will recall this major issue in there "performance vehicles".

I was picking up my son after work. I had driven roughly 45 minutes and parked waiting for him for roughly 10 minutes. After he got in, we drove to the end of the street and turned on to the main road. 2 warnings popped up suddenly. 1 for power steering failure and 1 for stability control failure. Steering instantly became extremely difficult to control. I was able to pull into a gas station, and popped the hood. I wasn't aware at this point it was electronic power assisted steering. I quickly realized there was no power steering reservoir. I turned the car back on and steering control seemed to be restored. So I continued on. As I turned back on to the main road and the power steering failed again. Luckily I was only going about 500 feet down the road and managed to pull it in despite the increase in steering difficulty. The power steering failure has been present ever since.

On a number of occasions in the past 30 days my 2015 Taurus has has a loss of power to the steering system which makes it difficult to drive it happens at low and high speeds it happened at my sons graduation in a parking lot full of students and parents and could not steer the car it also happened on a main road traveling in my lane around a hard turn in road and the steering failed I stopped the car on the shoulder by slamming on the brakes thank god no one was behind me and it happened at the grocery store turning into a parking spot on 2 occasions the way to make it work again is if you turn off car and restart it and it's fine till the next time a light comes on on the dash that reads power steering system failure I contacted Ford about the problem and I was told that it wasn't covered under warranty and there was no recalls in and that it needed a new steering gear and rack and it would cost me 1500$ to do the job I have looked into any recalls online and they did have a recall on a the power steering asssist on earlier models of the Taurus 2012-2013 so makes me think that they know there is a problem and won't issue a recall are they waiting for someone to get hurt or possibly killed as I said previously the power steering fails at all speeds and gives no indication that it is about to happen something should be done thank you.
