Replying to: jontyrees (Dec 02, 2008 12:37 pm) Pretty sure the Auto feature doesn't run the fan faster because it's not going to warm the car up any faster until the engine has properly warmed up. Once the engine temp is high enough to do some good, wa la the fan speeds up.   Mine does the same thing so pretty sure it's doing it as intended and you don't have a problem. I like the Auto temp feature a lot. You set it to a temperature you like and rarely have to mess with it after that.

Replying to: bobber1 (Dec 02, 2008 8:54 pm) I think the fan speed is dependent on the temperature differential - the difference between the existing car temperature and the setting. So, you could increase the fan speed by turning up the setting (or lowering it for cooling) if this difference is small. As the temperature approaches the desired setting, the fan will slow down.

Replying to: ronsmith38 (Dec 03, 2008 6:39 am) Thanks all - I figured it might be intended to stop me from just blowing a ton of cold air into the cabin. BTW, almost 10k miles in and I really like this car. Wish I had a later production run, as I don't have the Synch, but it's not that big a deal.

Replying to: jontyrees (Dec 03, 2008 9:12 am) Glad we could help!   My folks are loving their new Taurus (6,000 miles, bought in June). And yes, they have Sync and LOVE it.

Replying to: thegraduate (Oct 20, 2008 7:15 am) There is a TSB (technical service bulletin) out for this problem. It requires lubing the strut bushing, its a quick fix. Replies to this message: thegraduate (Dec 08, 2008 6:22 pm)

Replying to: keithm1 (Jun 25, 2008 12:42 pm) My dealer is proposing the same repair on my '08 Sable Premier. How did yours work out? I was told there was no service bulletin for this problem. Thanks for posting this problem... My concerns were the same as yours...
#28 of 52 1999 Ford Taurus Problem by cardude_2009 Jan 19, 2009 (12:23 pm)
I have a 1999 Ford Taurus Wagon. To avoid a wreck I put the car into reverse from drive and accelerated hard. The tires squeaked and all of the sudden the car made a grinding noise. When I put it up it into any other gear it made the same noise. I can only put it in park or neutral. When I jacked it up onto stands and put it in drive it makes the grinding noise only when my foot is on the brake. When I release the brake the wheels spin. I was thinking the problem could be a broken halfshaft either on the left or right side, but I am not sure. If you are experienced and have any knowledge on this please post back.

Replying to: cardude_2009 (Jan 19, 2009 12:23 pm) Hate to say it, but sounds like you definately did transmissin damage. You never shift from drive to reverse when moving. How fast were you going when you shifted into reverse? If less than 10mph, the damage is probably minor. if, however, you were going full speed, then I'd say you're probably looking at a major repair(maybe complete overhall)Don't necessarily take the car to your dealer. Find someone local who specializes in transmission repair, such as "AMMCO" Replies to this message: cardude_2009 (Jan 19, 2009 2:40 pm) keithm1 (Jan 19, 2009 2:45 pm) cardude_2009 (Jan 19, 2009 3:43 pm)

Replying to: keithm1 (Jan 19, 2009 2:04 pm) I am pretty sure I was fully stopped when I put it into reverse, but then I accelerated hard when I was in reverse, but yeah I'm almost positive its transmission problems after looking at it more closely and I might just buy another car.
