WATER DRAIN BLOCKAGE CAUSED WATER POOLING IN INTERIOR FRONT PASSENGER SIDE OF CAR. CAR WAS PARKED OUTSIDE IN ASSIGNED PARKING SPACE AND AT THE TIME THERE WERE A COUPLE OF WEEKS OF EXCESSIVE RAINS DURING THE MONTH OF AUGUST 2020

AFTER TRYING TO START MY CAR THIS MORNING, THE VEHICLE WOULD TURN OVER BUT WOULDN'T START. I LEARNED OF A RECALL THAT AFFECTED OTHER 2015 TAURUS' FOR THE FUEL CONTROL PUMP MODULE AND REPLACED THE PART WITHOUT ANY FURTHER ISSUE. MY VEHICLE HOWEVER STATED NO RECALLS WHEN SEARCHED BY VIN. VEHICLE WAS STATIONARY IN PARKING LOT. NO MECHANICAL CODES WERE SHOWING EITHER, VEHICLE WOULD JUST TURN OVER BUT NOT START.

DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD, ALL OF A SUDDEN MY POWER STEERING LOCKS UP WITH A DEFAULT MESSAGE. THIS HAPPENED DRIVING STRAIGHT DOWN THE CITY ROAD GOING 40MPH.

VEHICLE WAS PARKED IN A PARKING LOT AND WOULD CRANK, BUT NOT START RANDOMLY. THERE IS A RECALL FOR THIS PART ON OTHER 2015 FORD TAURUS, BUT APPARANTLY NOT FOR MY SPECIFIC MODEL, WHICH I FIND STRANGE. THE NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER IS 16V621000. IT SAYS IT INCLUDES THE 2015 FORD TAURUS AWD, WHICH MY VEHICLE IS. WHEN I SEARCH RECALL BY VIN, MY 2015 FORD TAURUS SAYS THERE IS NO RECALL, WHEN CLEARLY MY MODEL SHOULD BE INCLUDED WITH THE OTHER 2015 MODELS.

MY CAR RUNS FINE BEFORE I FILL UP WITH GAS. THEN STUTTERS LIKE IT DOESNT WANT TO START AFTER. IT HAS DONE THIS SINCE I PURCHASED IT 2 YEARS AGO. TODAY ON MY WAY TO WORK. IT STUTTERED AND A LIGHT WITH A WRENCH CAME ON AND THEN SHUT OFF. WOULD DO ANYTHING. I WAITED A FEW MINUTES THEN IT STARED RIGHT BACK UP. I SEE THAT THERE ARE SOME RECALLS FOR 215 TAURUS BUT MINE IS NOT INCLUDED.
