2013 FORD TAURUS Complaints

MY VEHICLE STEERING WHEEL LOCKED UP AND BECAME VARY HARD TO TURN 2 MONTHS AGO AND THE FORD DEALERSHIP IS TELLING ME I DO NOT HAVE A RECALL ON THAT. I LOOKING AT EVERY ONE WITH THE SAME CAR GETTING THERE STEERING PROBLEM FIXED BUT MINES. I FOUND THE CODE WHICH IS 15S18 AND I STILL CAN NOT GET MY STEERING WHEEL FIX. THIS THE FIRST FORD I EVER HAD AND WILL BE THE LAST.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2013 FORD TAURUS. THE CONTACT RECEIVED NOTIFICATION OF NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 20V072000 (SUSPENSION) HOWEVER, THE PART TO DO THE RECALL REPAIR WAS NOT YET AVAILABLE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE MANUFACTURER HAD EXCEEDED A REASONABLE AMOUNT OF TIME FOR THE RECALL REPAIR. AN UNKNOWN DEALER WAS CONTACTED AND CONFIRMED THAT PARTS WERE NOT YET AVAILABLE. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE ISSUE. THE CONTACT HAD NOT EXPERIENCED A FAILURE. VIN TOOL CONFIRMS PARTS NOT AVAILABLE.

THE 2013 TAURUS HAS RIGHT AT 60,000 MILES ON IT AND IS MAINTAINED REGULARLY AT THE LOCAL DEALERSHIP. I'VE NEVER BEEN NOTIFIED OF THIS RECALL FOR THE STEERING EPAS SYSTEM FAILING, BUT IT HAPPENED LAST WEEK. WITHOUT NOTICE OR WARNING, AS WE BACKED OUT OF THE GARAGE, THE VEHICLE LOST POWER STEERING CAPABILITY AND TURNING IT OFF AND RESTARTING DID NOT FIX THE ISSUE. AS I PULLED BACK IN THE STABILITY CONTROL WARNING LIGHT CAME ON INDICATING FAILURE OF THAT SYSTEM AS WELL.

CAR WOULD SHIFT OFF WHEN STOPPED AT LIGHT OR WHILE DRIVING. AFTER FILLING HAD TANK CAR WILL NOT IMMEDIATELY START. TAKES ABOUT 2 TO 3 TRIES TO TURN OVER. REPLACED FORM PUMP THEN MONTHS LATER REPLACED 2ND COMPONENT IN THE FUEL SYSTEM. *TR

SYNC SOFTWARE NOT WORKING PROPERLY, AIR BAG LIGHT IS ON WHEN SCAN SHOWS SEAT BELTS BUT ARE WORKING PROPERLY. CALLED FORD I WAS TOLD BY NUMEROUS REPRESENTATIVES THAT HAD TO DOWNLOAD THE UPDATE WHICH I ID AND DID NOT WORK, THE LAST ONE I SPOKE TO SAID IT HAD TO BE DEALER ONLY

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2013 FORD TAURUS. THE CONTACT STATED WHILE DRIVING 50 MPH, THE VEHICLE LOSS MOTIVE POWER AND FAILED TO ACCELERATE. AN UNKNOWN WARNING LIGHT WAS ILLUMINATED. THE CONTACT DROVE TO HER RESIDENCE WITH THE VEHICLE UNABLE TO EXCEED 5 MPH. THE CONTACT CALLED WRAY FORD INC SALES & SERVICE AT (318) 686-7300, AND INFORMED THE DEALER OF THE FAILURE.

THE CAR WILL STALL WHILE DRIVING OR IN PARK. WE HAVE PUT 2 NEW FUEL PUMP MODULES IN IT AND NOW IT IS DOING AGAIN, NEEDING A THIRD REPLACEMENT. IT HAS 111,000 MILES ON IT AND THE LAST ONE WAS PUT ON JUST 6 MONTHS AGO. THERE IS A RECALL FOR 2013 TAURUS FOR THE FUEL PUMP BUT IT DOESN'T SHOW MY VIN AS BEING COVERED BY THE RECALL. THIS IS DANGEROUS. IT JUST SHUTS OFF THE ENGINE WHILE YOU ARE DRIVING. I HAVE SEEN OTHER COMPLAINTS THAT ARE EXACTLY THE SAME ISSUE. IT HAPPENS WHILE DRIVING AND PARKED AT ANY RATE OF SPEED.

VEHICLE SHOT THE WRENCH SIGN AND LOST ALL ACCELERATION ON MAJOR HIGHWAY WITH NO SHOULDER... THROTTLE BODY IS BAD IN MOTION GOING STRAIGHT , 77 MILES PER HOUR , MAJOR HIGHWAY.

I I PURCHASED THIS 2013 FORD TAURUS SHO AWD TWIN TURBO ABOUT 3 YRS AGO USED FROM THE FIRST OWNER SO I'M THE SECOND OWNER. THE CAR WAS IN PERFECT CONDITION. NO ACCIDENTS SUPER CLEAN TOTALLY LOADED EXCEPT NO NAV AND SCREEN CONTROLS FOR ALL THE OTHER CELL PHONE APPS AND I EVEN WENT FOR UPGRADE FROM SYNC 2 MY TOUCH W/NO NAV TO THE NEWEST SYNC 3 3.5 FROM A 2018 VEHICLE CHANGED EVERYTHING IT WORKS GREAT. I CAN TELL THE CAR WAS TAKEN CARE OF BY HIM HE PUT VERY NICE TSW WHEELS AND VERY EXPENSIVE CONTINENTAL CONTITRACK TIRES THAT ARE ABUT 300.00 A PIECE WEATHERTECH RAIN GUARDS MATS FRONT AND REAR AS WELL AS THE TRUNK.IT WAS SUCH A BEATIFUL CAR. I BOUGHT IT IN THE SUMMER,WHEN WINTER CAME ALL THE PROBLEMS STARTED FRONT SUSPENSION CREAKING STRUTS NO MORE BACK UP CAMERA WORKING BUT FUZZY AND UPSIDE DOWN.AND TO REPLACE IT 300.00 NOW AND THIS IS THE KICK IN THE ASS MY WIFE WAS DRIVING WITH MY 2 NEWBORN TWIN GRAND DAUGHTERS MY 6 YR OLD NIECE AS WELL AS MY 88 YR OLD MOTHER JUST EXITING OFF A JUG HANDLE THATS HOW YOU MAKE A LEFT TURN IN THE STATE OF NJ,AND IT'S A CIRCLE WELL SHE STRAIGHT INTO THE DIVIDER BLOWING OUT BOTH FRONT TIRES AND CRACKING THE LEFT FRONT RIM AND BENDING THE RIGHT ONE. LOWER FRONT BUMPER VALANCE AS WELL AS DAMAGE TO THE UNDER CARRIAGE .I THANK GOD THAT MY FAMILY WASN'T KILLED.I'M FURIOUS AND I MAY BE TAKING LEGAL ACTION HOLDING FORD PERSONALLY LIABLE THE RECALL WITH THE STEERING NEEDS T BE TAKEN CARE OF BY FORD ALWAYS ON ITS NOT DRIVABLE AND UNSAFE

POWER STEERING ASSIST FAULT CAME ON I WAS FORTUNATE THAT IT HAPPENED WHEN I WAS STATIONARY IN A DRIVEWAY AND NOT VERY FAR FROM HOME. STEERING IS LOCKED AND IT'S INCREDIBLY DIFFICULT TO TURN EITHER LEFT OR RIGHT. I CALLED FORDS RECALL # AND I WAS TOLD MY CAR DOEST FALL UNDER RECALL COVERAGE BECAUSE THE MONTH IT WAS ASSEMBLED WAS WHEN THEY SWAPPED TO USING ANOTHER STEERING RACK DESPITE MY VEHICLE HAVING THE EXACT SAME PROBLEM SPECIFIED UNDER RECALL 15S18. I'M UNSURE WHY THEY WOULD SWAP STEERING RACKS MIDWAY THROUGH THE '13 MODEL YEAR UNLESS THEY KNEW THEY INSTALLED FAULTY EQUIPMENT.
