Severely rusted brake line to the driver side real brake ruptured and caused loss of brake function and emptying of the single brake fluid reservoir. I cannot currently find the ruptured line segment, but a portion of the other rear brake line was similarly rusted prompting preventative repair. Fortunately, my wife was driving at low speed and was able to maneuver the car into a parking spot. An employee at the O'Reilly store where I bought replacement parts thought the state of the ruptured line meant that it came from a 1980s model vehicle rather than a 2007 model. No one in an official capacity has inspected the brake line. My wife did not report nor have I observed any brake warning lam

Basically I was driving and stopped and my house and while in ideal the wiring under the hood and under the fender into the dash all started to melt together shorting the systems so I tried to repair and replace the parts due to being a used vehicle and didn't know how to report this until now. So I cut the melted chunk of wiring harnesses out and trashed it. But I stopped due to the inability to find any replacement harnesses from Ford or mercury so now my car has been sitting for several months. I have only been able to find melted harnesses on junk yard cars. Ford used poor quality 16 gauge wiring that the outer coating became brittle and easily frayed. Every wiring harness I've seen has

AS I'M DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD MY 2007 FORD TAURUS HAS STARTED TO ACCELERATE ON IT'S OWN. ON JULY 9 THIS INCIDENT OCCURRED AND I WAS INVOLVED IN A CAR ACCIDENT HITTING A TREE. WHEN I START MY CAR IT WILL REV UP TO 2 RPM AND I HAVE TO PUSH THE GAS TO BRING IT BACK DOWN. MY MECHANIC HAS CHANGED THE O2 SENSOR AND SEVERAL OTHER THINGS. I BELIEVE THIS ISSUE IS FAIRLY COMMON BUT NEEDS TO BE ADDRESSED. I HAVE TO RIDE MY BREAKS TO EVEN STAY STATIONARY AT A STOP LIGHT BECAUSE MY CAR WILL ACCELERATE UP TO 20 MPH IN A MATTER OF THIRTY SECONDS. I GOT LUCKY THAT MY CHILDREN WEREN'T WITH ME AT THE TIME I CRASHED I WAS ALSO LUCKY THAT I HAVEN'T READ ENDED ANYONE. NOW I AM SITTING WITH A VERY UNSAFE CAR
