I WAS ABOUT TO GO TO LUNCH AT WORK WHEN MY CAR WOULDN'T START. THE AUTOMOTIVE INSTRUCTOR AT THE TECHNICAL COLLEGE I WORK AT TOLD ME IT WAS THE FUEL PUMP AND SYSTEM. HE CHECK THE FUEL TANK BY AND FINALLY GOT IT TO START. WHEN I GIT READY TO GO TO WORK JULY 6TH AT 7AM, MY CAR WOULDN'T START AGAIN AND HASN'T STARTED SINCE I DROVE IT LAST ON SUNDAY JULY 5TH. I HAVE BEEN WITHOUT A VEHICLE SINCE AND NOW I'M TRYING TO TRADE IT FOR A BETTER VEHICLE. MY 2015 FORD TAURUS ONLY HAS 63,300 MILES.

CAR HAS APPROXIMATELY 58,000 MILES ON IT. THE ALARM CODE "STEERING FAULT, SERVICE NOW" KEEPS PERIODICALLY APPEARING ON THE DASH, SOMETIMES WHILE DRIVING AND SOMETIMES WHILE JUST SITTING IN PARK. THE STEERING BECOMES VERY HARD TO TURN. THIS STEERING SETUP IS AN ELECTRONIC STEERING ASSIST INSTEAD OF THE OLD STYLE POWER STEERING THAT USED FLUID. FROM WHAT I CAN FIND, THIS WAS A PREVIOUS RECALL FOR THE EARLIER YEAR MODELS BUT HAVE YET TO ISSUE THE SAME RECALL FOR THIS YEAR. THERE SHOULD NOT BE ANY TYPE OF FAILURE AT THIS TYPE OF MILEAGE. IT SEEMS TO BE AN OCCURRING PROBLEM WITH THIS CAR WELL BELOW THE 100K MILEAGE MARKER. THIS SHOULD NOT BE SOMETHING THAT THE OWNERS SHOULD HAVE TO DISH OUT OF POCKET. THIS IS SOMETHING THAT FORD NEEDS TO OWN UP TO AND REPLACE DUE TO THEIR SYSTEM BEING FAULTY. *TR

IT'S MAKES A WEIRD NOISE AND I TOOK IT TO PEP BOYS AND THEY DIDN'T FIND ANYTHING. *TR

WHEN MY CAR START IT HESITATE FOR A LONG TIME THEN START, OR SOMETIMES WON'T START AT ALL I HAVE TO START IT AGAIN AND IT HESITATE SOME MORE THEN START AGAIN. *TR

MY POWER STEERING WENT OUT WHILE DRIVING WHICH WAS VERY SCARY AND DANGEROUS FOR MYSELF AND OTHER DRIVERS. I KNOW THIS HAS BEEN A RECALL FOR EARLIER TAURUS MODELS 2011-2014 AND I THINK THIS YEAR NEEDS TO BE INCLUDED IN THAT RECALL AS WELL. THE COST TO FIX IS $2,500 AT THE DEALERSHIP AND DURING THIS COVID 19 PANDEMIC THAT IS A LOT OF MONEY. *TR

I WAS PARKED IN MY APARTMENT COMPLEX PARKINGS. I WAS CHARGING MY PHONE IN THE CAR WHILE THE ENGINE IS OFF. THE RADIO AS WELL AS THE INTERIOR LIGHTS WERE ON FOR APPROXIMATELY 45 MINS. THEN, I TRIED TO START THE ENGINE, BUT IT DID NOT START. IT WAS GIVING A WEIRD SOUND THAT IS SCARY TO ME, THE OWNER. SO, I LEFT IT AS IS FOR THE NIGHT. I AM NOW REPORTING THIS PROBLEM BECAUSE WHEN I ENTERED MY VEHICLE'S VIN NUMBER, THE WEBSITE STATED THAT IT DOES NOT HAVE ANY RECALLS IN IT. I KNOW THAT 2015 FORD TAURUS HAS THIS RECALL PROBLEM, BUT FOR SOME REASON, MY CAR IS NOT INCLUDED WITH THESE CARS. *TR

TRIED TO START CAR ONE MORNING HAD IT TOWED TO A DEALER AND IT TURNS OUT IT WAS THE FUEL PUMP DRIVE MODULE AND REPLACING IT FIXED THE PROBLEM. THERE WAS A RECALL FOR FORD TAURUS OF 2013-2015 AND THEY SAID MY VEHICLE WAS NOT AFFECTED, BUT CLEARLY IT WAS.
