2014 FORD TAURUS Complaints

AFTER FUELING UP, STARTED CAR(2014 TAURUS) TO LEAVE AND WAS UNABLE TO TURN STEERING WHEEL. INSTRUMENT CLUSTER PANEL STATED THERE WAS A POWER STEERING FAILURE AND SERVICE WAS REQUIRED. WAS ABLE TO DRIVE AWAY FROM PUMPS WITH NO STEERING TO PARK OUT OF THE WAY. AFTER 20 MINUTES AND RESTARTING THE CAR WAS ABLE TO CLEAR THE FAILURE MESSAGE BY CLICKING ON THE "OK" ACKNOWLEDGING THE FAILURE AND THE STEERING CAME BACK. NOT SURE IF IT WAS THE CLICKING ON THE "OK" THAT RELEASED THE STEERING OR NOT. DROVE THE CAR HOME AT GREAT RISK AND HAVE IT SCHEDULED FOR SERVICE ON WED 3/42020. FROM INVESTIGATING THE PROBLEM IT APPEARS FORD SHOULD BE FORCED TO DO A RECALL ON THIS MODEL AND THE PROBLEM, THEY DID FOR THE 2011, 2012 AND 2013 MODEL THEY NEED TO INCLUDE THE 2014. THE EXTENDED WARRANTY SHOULD COVER THIS BUT IT APPEARS TO CLEARLY BE A FORD DESIGN/ENGINEERING PROBLEM FORD SHOULD PAY FOR.

FOR THE PAST 3-4 MONTHS MY VEHICLE HAS A PROBLEM ON START UP (HOT AND COLD) PRESSING GAS AND ACCELERATION ON STREET, HIGHWAY, MERGING INTO TRAFFIC, ETC - CAR RUNS VERY ROUGH, SPUTTERS, HESITATES AND STALLS. EVENTUALLY, ON JANUARY 7, 2020 MY VEHICLE DID NOT START AT ALL. IT CRANKED BUT STILL WOULD NOT START. HAD BATTERY CHECKED (WHICH WAS STRONG AND FINE) AND HAD RECENT FULL TUNE-UP DONE WITHIN THE PAST 30 DAYS OF THIS COMPLAINT. HAD TAKEN MY VEHICLE TO THE DEALER FOR THIS SAME PROBLEM AT LEAST THREE(3) TIMES WITH NO RESULT EXCEPT TO PAY MONEY FOR THINGS THAT DID NOT NEED TO BE DONE.

WENT TO START VEHICLE AND THE VEHICLE'S FUEL PUMP DID NOT MAKE A SOUND. CHECKED THE FUSES TO THE FUEL PUMP AND THEY CHECKED OUT GOOD. TOOK A POWER PROBE TO THE FUEL PUMP AND FUEL PUMP WORKED. DISCOVERED IT WAS THE FUEL PUMP RELAY BEHIND REAR SEAT ON PASSENGER SIDE. REPLACED AND IT FIXED THE ISSUE.

WHILE VEHICLE WAS DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD IT SUDDENLY LOST POWER AND STOPPED. VEHICLE WAS ABLE TO BE PUSHED OFF OF THE ROADWAY AND FOUND TO HAVE A FAULTY FUEL PUMP MODULE.

BEFORE STARTING THE CAR/OR WHEN IN PARK. FROM APRIL 2017 UNTIL PRESENT WHEN I TRY TO PUT MY SEATBELT ON IT CATCHES GETS STUCK. IT HARD TO GET IT TO RELEASE ENOUGH TO FASTEN IT HAS BECOME AN ISSUE. I CAN DRIVE WITHOUT IT ON HAS THERE BEEN ANYMORE COMPLAINTS ABOUT THIS.

I HAVE PURCHASED 4 AFTERMARKET RIMS WITH 4 TIRES FROM A LOCAL TIRE DEALER IN MARCH 2018. I HAD A SLOW LEAK IN ONE TIRE AND IT WAS DIAGNOSED AS A CRACKED RIM. THAT WAS APPROX TWO WEEKS AGO. LAST SATURDAY NIGHT I HAD ANOTHER TIRE GO SOFT. ANOTHER RIM CRACKED. THE DEALER I PURCHASED THE RIMS FROM HAS PUT TWO NEW RIMS (SAME MANUFACTERER) I WENT ON THE FACEBOOK PAGE FOR THIS COMPNAY AND I SEE SEVERAL COMPLAINTS FROM OTHER CONSUMERS REGARDING CRACKED AND PARTIALLY SEPERATED SPOKES FROM THIS MANUFACTERER. I HAVE PICTURES AND VIDEO OF THE FAILURE, I BELIEVE AN INVESTIGATION IS WARRANTED BECAUSE THERE IS A POTENTIAL FOR A COMPLETE FAILURE OF THE WHEEL WHICH COULD CAUSE AN ACCIEDENT AND OR INJURY AND DEATH.
