HEADLIGHTS CRASHNO FIRENO INJURIES0 DEATHS0 THE VISIBILITY PROVIDED BY THE HEAD LIGHT ASSEMBLY (HIGH AND LOW BEAM), IS LESS THAN THE STANDARD FOR NIGHT DRIVING CONDITIONS AND ALMOST NON-EXISTENT WHEN MAKING TURNS ON DARK ROADS. HIGH BEAMS ARE THE EQUIVALENT OF DIMMED LOW BEAMS WHEN DRIVING AT NIGHT. THERE ARE PLENTY OF FORUM DISCUSSIONS REGARDING THIS ISSUE WITH MOST EVERYONE AGREEING ON A HEAD ASSEMBLY FLAWED DESIGN. I NOTICED THIS ISSUE AFTER PURCHASING THIS VEHICLE (NEW) FROM A FORD DEALERSHIP. I HAVE ALREADY HEAT A DEER DUE TO INADEQUATE LIGHTS. WHEN MAKING RIGHT TURN CANNOT SEE WHAT TURNING INTO. THIS DO NOT SHOW UP ON OTHER CARS I DRIVEN. I HAVE ASKED SEVERAL DEALERS ABOUT THIS WAS IGNORED.

WHILE DRIVING AT 55 MPH ON BUSY ROAD, VEHICLE LOST POWER. ALMOST REAR-ENDED BEFORE BEING ABLE TO COAST INTO EMPTY PARKING LOT. WENT INTO LIMP MODE. COULD NOT ACCELERATE. VEHICLE MAINTENANCE INDICATOR WITH WRENCH CAME ON. TURNED CAR OFF. WAITED ONE MINUTE. CAR RESTARTED. NO INDICATOR LIGHT. THIS IS THE SECOND TIME THIS HAS HAPPENED WITH THIS VEHICLE. THE FIRST TIME THIS HAPPENED ON 6/18/19, I RESEARCHED AND FOUND A RECALL 16S31 FOR MODELS BUILT IN CHICAGO. MY VEHICLE VIN WAS NOT INCLUDED IN RECALL. I TOOK THE CAR TO DEALERSHIP, THEY COULD NOT FIND AN ERROR CODE OR RECREATE FAILURE. I STILL HAD THEM REPLACE THE PART UNDER THE RECALL AT A COST TO MYSELF. PART WAS NEW FUEL PUMP CONTROL MODULE. I FILED COMPLAINT 11220834 WITH NHTSA. MY FEAR IS THIS IS GOING TO HAPPEN AGAIN AND IF I AM ON THE EXPRESSWAY, THE RESULTS COULD BE CATASTROPHIC.

STEERING FAULT SERVICE NOW AND SERVICE ADVANCEDTRAC WARNING LIGHTS CAME ON WHILE DRIVING 40-50 MPH ON HIGHWAY. STEERING BECAME VERY DIFFICULT AND UNSAFE. SLOWING DOWN AND TAKING A CORNER ON SIDE STREET TO GET HOME WAS EXTREMELY HARD TO TURN STEERING WHEEL. TURNED CAR OFF. RESTARTED AND EVERYTHING BACK TO NORMAL. BROUGHT IN TO DEALER AS MY WIFE HAS SOME UPCOMING TRIPS AND WANTED CAR SAFE. THEY SAID SCAN SHOWED U0420 AND C200D. THE DEALER SAID FAULT WAS THE ANGLE SENSOR AND THAT WAS PART OF STEERING GEAR ASSEMBLY. WHOLE ASSEMBLY REQUIRED REPLACEMENT. DEALER ADVISED THERE WAS A RECALL APPLYING TO SAME ISSUE ON 2013 TAURUS BUT NOT CURRENTLY ON 2015. CALLED FORD CUSTOMER SERVICE AND THEY ADVISED THE SAME AS DEALER AND RECOMMENDED REPORTING IT TO NHTSA. COST $2757.43 TO FIX A SERIOUS SAFETY ISSUE AND RE-ALIGNMENT.

CAR SHUTS OFF WITH NO WARNING WHILE DRIVING AT DIFFERENT SPEEDS. WHEEL LOCKS UP NO POWER PERIOD. AFTER A COUPLE OF MINUTES RESETS ITSELF AND START AGAIN. IF YOU TRY TO START IMEDIATLY, WILL NOT START. HAS HAPPENED SEVERAL TIMES OVER PAST FEW MONTHS
