Was Vehicle Towed: - Description of the Complaints: I bought a 2005 ford taurus on nov, 29, 2005. approx.. 1 month after buying it, the brakes began to squeak. it has cut out when going up a hill, and it lunges forward slightly when parking and taking the key out of the ignition. i have been to the dealer i bought it from 2 times. they say the brake problem came from manufacturing with the 2005 model and that they did not find any other problems as i have described. they say there is nothing they can do about the squeak of the brakes, that it was ford motor company's fault for putting the brakes on that they did. *nm
