I put over $800 in to my car on the alignment, tires, oil, and ball joints. It jumps gears, when stopping it shakes really bad, i have had to change the battery several times, now they tell me there is a busted bolt on the frame...... The auto shop did not tell me about the bolt until i paid $600+ $ on the ball joins, alignment, and oil change......... I don't have the money to keep putting in to this car...... I don't know what to do about all these problems with this car, the shaking is very bad, so bad its like the car don't wanna stop....... *tr

I own a ford taurus sw, the seat belts in the back are unable to work. They will not unlock so they cannot be used. The only belt available is the middle lap belt. I tried all the manual has to offer. *tr

When sitting at an intersection waiting for the traffic lights to change, the transmission fails to stay completely engaged. When pressing the accelerator the rpm goes way up and very little move of the vehicle. This has happened to me several times while sitting in rush hour traffic leaving me vulnerable to be struck by another vehicle traveling at a high rate of speed. After a few minutes the transmission does eventually completely engage. I had the transmission flushed, but that failed to remedy the problem. I know a few other people who own the same type of car and they have experienced the same problems. When i consulted an auto mechanic, he and other mechanics had informed me that this was a common problem with this model vehicle, and don't know why there has not been a recall. *nm
