My Taurus X does the same thing and it has been doing it for at least 40K miles. I've had it looked at by Ford and Goodyear dealers to no avail. Since it almost always self corrects they can never replicate it in the shop.
 
Just this week I've also been getting a periodic knocking noise coming from the dashboard close to the steering column. Does anyone know what causes this?

Have you found a solution to this problem? I purchased an 08 TaurusX a couple of months ago, with just over 100,000 miles on it, and have had this problem now twice. The first time my mechanic thought it was a transmission issue but then it was fine the next day (I have not taken it back to him again - yet). The car got great reviews, and I am a big fan of it, but don't want to sink a lot of $$ into it. Any workable advice will be appreciated.

No, I was never able to get an answer. I''ve since turned it in so it will forever be a mystery

Did you trade it in at a dealership and did this issue affect what they offered you for it? I am hating that this is an issue after only having this car a few months but would rather trade it in then drop a lot of $$ into attempting to have it fixed.

Mine was a company car. Turned it in and have no idea about its subsequent value.

If you don't mind my asking, I am curious if your car was a dark red/maroon color and if you live in NC? I have only been able to find a few more comments on this issue and am curious if the car I bought might have been the one you drove (the previous owner was listed as a company).
 
Thanks.
