Problem overview

Some Ford Taurus owners report experiencing persistent issues with the electronic traction control light activation and cruise control disengagement over a three-year period. These owners note that the traction control warning light often indicates malfunctions within the traction control system, signaling a need for further diagnosis and repair by a qualified technician if it continues to illuminate despite attempts to resolve the problem. Additionally, some owners find that unexpected cruise control disengagement may be linked to the brake deactivation switch, which interrupts the cruise control system when the brake pedal is pressed. If this switch is faulty, it may require inspection and replacement to effectively address the issue. Given the ongoing nature of these problems, it is advisable for owners to consult with a reputable service center or authorized dealer for a comprehensive diagnosis and repair plan to restore the proper functioning of these critical vehicle systems.
