Problems with 2002 Ford Taurus ELECTRONIC STABILITY CONTROL

The key turns over but the car won't start.

I own a 2002 ford taurus ses sedan with 100,000 miles. recently, the brake warning light illuminated, and i brought it into the ford service department of my local dealership. apparently what happened was a abs/traction control sensor (part number 2c219) burned out. according to the dealership and various online postings in blogs and other areas, this is a very common thing that happens on these cars. i think that ford should take action because they do acknowledge that there is a problem with the design of that module, and their poor design can lead to limited braking capability, the vehicle not performing as it should on slippery surfaces, crashes, injuries, and possibly even death. *tr

Saturday night dec 11, 2004, while driving on route 91 in ct, the car lost steering. the car started to veer right and when my daughter (and 2 small children) tried to steer the wheel just turned and turned with no results. she ended up next to a cement wall, with no damage to the car, after pumping the brakes. they had to crawl out of the window, because of the position of the car, when the tow truck came. a police cruiser stayed behind her until the tow truck got there. i had it towed to the ford dealer that i bought it from. they found it was with the linkage and repaired it. i hate to say it, but i still have a strange feeling when i drive now. i guess that they found a bolt was loose, removed it, checked the threads and reinstalled it. i am so discouraged with this car compared to other fords that i have had. *ak
