2015 FORD TAURUS Complaints

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2015 FORD TAURUS. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE WINDSHIELD WASHER FLUID PUMP FAILED TO FUNCTION. THE ELECTRICAL LINING AT THE TOP OF THE PUMP WAS RUSTED. THE PART WAS REPLACED BY THE CONTACT. THE DEALER WAS NOT CONTACTED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 30,000.

SERVICE ENGINE SOON INDICATOR CAME ON. LATER, THE CAR STALLED ON THE HIGHWAY, ALMOST CAUSING AN ACCIDENT. DEALER COULD NOT PROVIDE AN ANSWER TO WHY THIS HAPPENED. UPON INVESTIGATING THIS ISSUE MYSELF, I FOUND SAFETY RECALL 16S31 WHICH DESCRIBED THE EXACT SYMPTOMS EXPERIENCED WITH MY CAR. MY CAR WAS MANUFACTURED AT THE FORD CHICAGO PLANT DURING THE DESIGNATED TIME PERIOD OF THE RECALL, YET MY VIN # WAS NOT PART OF THE RECALL. FORD DEALER AGREED THAT THE REASON FOR THE RECALL COULD HAVE BEEN THE CAUSE OF MY CAR SHUTTING DOWN ON THE HIGHWAY. THIS SITUATION IS TOO POTENTIALLY DANGEROUS IF IT OCCURS AGAIN. I CONTACTED FORD, THEY WOULD NOT ACCEPT FAULT AND TOLD ME THEY WOULD REPORT THE INCIDENT TO NHTSA, CASE# [XXX]. *TT INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6). *TR

CAR STALLED WHILE GOING 50 MPH, LIGHTS INSIDE WORKED FINE, NOTICE ALERTED ME ON THE DASH THAT CAR WAS NOT IN PARK. I WAS UNABLE TO ACCELERATE, PULLED TO A STOP ON THE SIDE OF THE ROAD AND PUT THE CAR IN PARK AND TURNED THE VEHICLE OFF. RESTARTED AND IT RESTARTED JUST FINE. I NOTICED THERE WERE RECALLS ON THE 2015 FORD TAURUS THAT WERE MADE IN THE CHICAGO PLANT FOR VERY SIMILAR PROBLEMS BUT MINE IS NOT INCLUDED. 37000 MILES ON THE VEHICLE. PRETTY DANGEROUS FOR IT TO JUST STALL WHEN GOING THAT FAST FOR NO APPARENT REASON.

2015 FORD TAURUS/APPROX 7850MILES ON CAR/6 MONTHS OLD....VEHICLE WENT INTO LIMP HOME MODE AT HIGHWAY SPEED. ESPECIALLY IN THE HANDS OF A LESS EXPERIENCED DRIVER, THIS COULD CAUSE MAJOR CONFUSION, AND POSSIBLY A MAJOR REAR END COLLISION AND IT IS A SAFETY CONCERN THAT PROVES THIS PROBLEM STILL EXISTS WITH THIS PART, EVEN THOUGH THE NHTSA HAS "CLOSED THE FILE" AND ACCEPTED FORD'S EXPLANATION. THE NHTSA SHOULD RE-OPEN THIS FILE AND INVESTIGATE. THE FOLKS AT FORD SERVICE SEEM TO BE ALL TOO FAMILIAR WITH THIS PROBLEM. FORD MUST BE HELD ACCOUNTABLE FOR THESE POTENTIALLY LIFE THREATENING SITUATIONS CAUSED BY THESE PARTS AND THEY MUST BE FORCED TO PERFORM A FULL SCALE RECALL ON PART AT4Z-9E926-B (THROTTLE BODY)

TAKATA RECALL MY 2015 FORD TAURUS KEEP GIVING ME THE SAME PROBLEMS AFTER I WENT TO A FORD DEALER AND PURCHASED THE FUEL PUMP MODULE AND REPLACE IT 3 WEEKS LATER THE CAR STALL WITH ME WHILE I WAS DRIVING ON THE THRUWAY. IN THIS MATTER I TRULY THINK THAT ITS UNSAFE TO DRIVE A VEHICLE WITH THAT TYPE OF PROBLEM, AND IT HAPPEN NOT JUST ONCE BUT THREE TIMES THE VEHICLE IS ONLY 2 YEARS OLD

I PURCHASED A 2015 FORD TAURUS WITH 34,000 MILES ON IT THE BEGINNING OF OCTOBER 2015. ABOUT A MONTH AGO I HAD A PROBLEM WITH THE VEHICLE STALLING OUT AND THEN NOT STARTING. I SPOKE TO SOMEONE AT THE LOCAL FORD DEALERSHIP AND WAS TOLD TO RESET THE FUEL PUMP RELAY. AFTER DOING THAT THE CAR CRANKED FINE. I DID ONLINE RESEARCH OF THE VEHICLE AND DISCOVERED THAT THE 2013 TO 2015 FUEL PUMP RELAY ON MANY OF THE SAME VEHICLES HAVE BEEN RECALLED. I SEARCHED MY VIN NUMBER AND FOUND THAT MY PARTICULAR VEHICLE WAS NOT A PART OF THE RECALL. IN MY RESEARCH I ALSO FOUND OUT THAT THIS PARTICULAR PART SHUTS OFF THE FUEL SUPPLY IN THE EVENT OF AN ACCIDENT TO PREVENT FIRE OR EXPLOSION. AND ALSO THAT USUALLY THIS PART LASTS THROUGHOUT THE LIFETIME OF A VEHICLE UNLESS IT IS FAULTY. TWO DAYS AGO THE CAR STALLED AND AGAIN WILL NOT CRANK I TRIED TO RESET THE FUEL PUMP RELAY AGAIN BUT IT WILL STILL NOT GREA TO PREVENT FIRE OR EXPLOSION. AND ALSO THAT USUALLY THIS PART LASTS THROUGHOUT THE LIFETIME OF A VEHICLE UNLESS IT IS FAULTY. TWO DAYS AGO THE CAR STALLED AND AGAIN WILL NOT CRANK I TRIED TO RESET THE FUEL PUMP RELAY AGAIN BUT IT WILL STILL NOT CRANK. I HAVE BEEN TOLD BY A FORD MECHANIC THAT IT IS A FAULTY FUEL PUMP RELAY. I CONTACTED FORD AGAIN TO QUESTION IF THIS PART SHOULD HAVE BEEN MADE PART OF THE RECALLED BECAUSE THIS VEHICLE WAS BUILT DURING THE SAME TIME THAT THE RECALLED RELAYS WERE USED. I WAS TOLD BY FORD CUSTOMER SERVICE THAT THE NATIONAL HIGHWAY TRAFFIC AND SAFETY ADMINISTRATION AND THE ENGINEERING DEPARTMENT OF FORD NEED TO BE CONTACTED TO FURTHER HELP ME IN THIS MATTER TO DETERMINE IF THIS PART SHOULD HAVE IN FACT BEEN ADDED TO THE RECALL LIST. THANK YOU FOR YOUR TIME AND ATTENTION.

2015 FORD TAURUS SEL 3.5L ECOBOOST FLEX FUEL HAS VIBRATIONS AT IDLE AND SPEEDS OF 60-70 MPH. VIBRATION DOES NOT ALWAYS OCCUR AT IDLE OR AT HIGH SPEEDS, USUALLY HAPPENS DURING DECELERATION, AND SOMETIMES HAPPENS AT LOW SPEEDS AS WELL. WAS TOLD BY FORD DEALER THAT OTHER SIMILAR MODELS WERE TEST DRIVEN TO COMPARE, AND THESE VIBRATIONS ARE NORMAL FOR SIMILAR CARS. I DROVE A 2011 FOR TAURUS SEL FOR 4 YEARS AND NEVER HAD ANY VIBRATIONS SO AM CERTAINLY NOT HAPPY WITH THE DEALER'S RESPONSE BUT THEY SAID SINCE NO CODES ARE POPPING UP THERE IS NOTHING THEY CAN DO, AND I TOOK IT TO A DIFFERENT FORD DEALER AND THEY WOULDN'T EVEN HAVE THE TECHNICIANS CHECK ANYTHING SINCE IT WASN'T VIBRATING AT THAT MOMENT

I WAS DRIVING ON HIGHWAY 242 EAST BOUND ON THE FAST LANE DOING 65 MPH AND ON A CURE MY VEHICLES POWER STEERING GAVE OUT I WAS FORCED INTO TWO LANES BEFORE I HAD TIME TO REACT LUCKILY THERE WERE NO OTHER DRIVERS NEXT TO ME .THE TRACTION CONTROL LIGHT CAME ON AND THE STEERING WAS REALLY HAD TO TURN. IT'S BINE THAT WAY EVER SINCE.

MY 2015 FORD TAURUS WITH THE 3.5L V6 WILL UNEXPECTEDLY STALL OUT WHILE DRIVING. THE CAR WILL GO INTO "LIMP HOME MODE" UNTIL YOU TURN THE CAR OFF. THIS HAS HAPPENED AT 70MPH AND AT 45MPH. THE DEALERSHIP UPDATED THE COMPUTER IN THE CAR AND COULDN'T FIND ANYTHING ELSE WRONG. A WEEK AND A HALF LATER THE CAR STARTS STALLING OUT AGAIN. THIS TIME I HAVE A OBDII HOOKED UP TO THE CAR AND THE CODE IS P2112 (THROTTLE ACTUATOR CONTROL). THE DEALERSHIP IS TOO BUSY THIS WEEK, SO I HAVE TO SEE WHAT THEY DO. FROM WHAT I'VE READ OTHER FORDS HAVE HAD THE SAME PROBLEM. THE CAR CURRENTLY HAS OVER 23,000 MILES ON IT.

THE CAR GETS AN ALARM AND POWER STEERING STOPS WORKING. THE CAR IS VERY DIFFICULT TO TURN AT SLOW SPEEDS AND IS A WORK OUT AT ROAD SPEEDS DEPENDING ON DEGREE OF TURN. THERE ARE TWO ALARMS PRESENT. "STEERING ASSIST FAULT SERVICE REQUIRED" AND "SERVICE ADVANCETRAC. THERE WAS AN ALARM THAT HAPPENED TWICE (AT AROUND 55,000 MILES & 62,000 MILES) BEFORE WITH THE SAME EFFORT NEEDED IN STEERING BUT IT WENT AWAY WHEN THE CAR WAS SHUT OFF AND RESTARTED. IF THIS HAD HAPPENED IN THE MIDDLE OF A SHARP TURN THERE WOULD HAVE BEEN AN ACCIDENT AS IT TAKES A LOT OF EFFORT TO TURN THE WHEEL
