After the Taurus has been driven for more than 30 min, you will lose power stering and the car becomes difficult to control at slow speeds. While Taurus is running and the gear selector is in park or neutral P/S works! select reverse or drive you lose P/S, dash board alarms seatbelt and ABS brakes, the radio mutes, select park or neutral everything returns to normal.

Dome light/door adjar indicator come on intermittently while driving. At night, dome light disturbs driver. Will go on and off as you drive. Dealer was not able to fix. Is getting worse, now it trips the car alarm as door adjar sets it off when locked with alarm set.
