Ford Taurus shaking randomly?
Four times now, over the past few months, my 2000 Ford Taurus has been (seemingly randomly) going though bouts of shaking.
It's only a light shaking at speeds of 35mph and slower, nothing overly concerning. But once you push it up to 45 and 55 it starts to shake pretty violently. Hard enough that I'm forced to pull over and stop or risk being thrown around by the shaking.
Slowing down helps. Letting your foot off the gas reduces the shaking to manageable (enough to get me home, at least) but once it starts shaking I've found that you need to hit the brake to get it to not shake as bad. Otherwise, just letting my foot off the gas slows the shaking but if you push back down on the gas (no matter the speed) it'll start violently shaking again.
This only occurs once in a while. I've tried shutting the car off and turning it back on but that didn't help any.
So, any clues or experience with similar problems?
Lots of things could be wrong. Make sure the wheel lugs are all on tight. Other than that, put the car in the shop with that complaint.
- Why would you think my 2008 Ford H 53 chassis Motor home engine randomly cut off and the ABS light come on? Ford Triton V10 when heading up a hill sometimes the engine will cut out and the ABS light on the dash comes on and goes out. The engine continues to run and we get home just fine. Seems like power is getting cut off or something.
- Should I receive money from ford for my vehicle randomly catching on fire? I had a 2009 ford ranger that we didn't have insurance for yet. About 80000 miles on it and the front end just catches on fire sitting in my driveway. Totaled the vehicle. Not having any insurance I'm screwed. Do I have a case ford should pay for it?
- My 2000 Ford Ranger 4X4 randomly quit running? It only has 101k miles. It ran great before, but now it just quit and won't even start. Anyone know what this could be? I don't really have the money to take it to the shop right now.
- My 1995 ford crown Vic making a Continuous beep randomly when driving and even when the car is off? Not Beeping but a long high Continuous beep randomly when driving and even when the car is off. It's really high-pitched and sometimes it fades in and out but I can't get it to turn off I have a seatbelt on the car doors locked lights off and everything what could it be
