While driving the car. it was noticed that the vehicle was putting out cool air only when the heat was engaged. it would eventually warm a bit but would return to blowing cool air only. when the vehicle was taken to a mechanic, it was explained that the problem was the water pump. we were told that the design of the vehicle requires the engine to be removed to get to the pump and the cost of the repair would be in excess of $2000. the vehicle cannot be driven in order to prevent further damage
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.

My 2013 ford taurus will automatically shut off in the middle of driving. we took it to a dealer and they couldn't fix it. the problem went away on its own and a couple of months later is doing it again. the car stalls and often stops in the middle of driving. so disappointed in this purchase but now we are stuck .
