I purchased a '10 Ford Taurus SHO new. The car has been well taken care of, e.g. oil changes, fixed anything that needed fixing. The car just turned 100k miles and has been "adult" driven. Overall I've been very pleased with the car up until May '15. We were 90 miles from home when the check engine light illuminated and the car lost power as we were entering the Interstate. We had the car towed home and taken to a local Ford Dealership where they replaced the #3 injector and 5 plugs (apparently they couldn't get the 6th one out). $1240 and 11-days later I get it back. November '15 I get another check engine light indicator and take it to my local mechanic. They have to replace the catalytic converter. The mechanic theorized that the injector issue back in May damaged the converter. $1293.00 later the problem is fixed. Fast forward to January '16 the check engine light is illuminated again and the car is taken back to the Ford Dealership where another catalytic converter is bad. $1293.00 later the car is fixed. Both times when I took the car to Ford I called and complained to the Ford Customer Care team (apparently $3,800 in car repair in 6 months is acceptable to Ford). Both times to no avail. Yesterday, 11/26/16, the check engine light is illuminated again! I take it back to my mechanic and was told that the spark plugs and coil need to be replaced. I authorize the service (what option do i have?) to only receive a call later in the day from my mechanic. He stated that he replaced the coils and plugs but the check engine light is still illuminated. They reread the code and it's pointing to a defective injector. He said that he called the Ford Dealership and was told the injectors are back ordered and they don't have a timeline on if or when they will receive them. The Ford representative told my mechanic that he should see if he can purchase a "used" injector and install it since he has no idea when they will have them back in stock. I've Googled Ford Ecoboost injector issues and I'm not finding much on the internet. Consequently, I'm starting to think that I either have a "lemon" or this is a much bigger problem that Ford isn't disclosing. Either way I'm losing confidence in this car and Ford as a company. Any comments or suggestions are hereby solicited. Thank you for reading.
