2013 FORD TAURUS Complaints

THIS VIN IS NOT IN THE RECALL. JUNE 2, 2015. CAMPAIGN #15V340000. OUR CAR IS DOING THE EXACT SAME THING AND FORD WON'T DO ANYTHING. THEY SAY YOU HAVE TO RECALL IT FIRST.

LOSS OF ELECTRIC POWER STEERING ASSIST. JUNE 2, 2015 REPORT. CAMPAIGN #15V340000. THIS VIN IS NOT IN THE RECALL BUT IS DOING THE EXACT SAME THING AS THE ONES IN THE RECALL. THIS HAPPENS INTERMITTENTLY OVER THE LAST YEAR.

WHILE DRIVING ON STATE HIGHWAY, MY VEHICLE STARTED LOSING POWER AND ACCELERATION. MY SPEED WAS BETWEEN 55-65MPH AND THE VEHICLE WAS NOT OVERHEATING. THE ENGINE STARTED SHAKING AND MAKING NOISES AS WELL. I WAS ABLE TO DRIVE ABOUT ANOTHER MILE BEFORE THE VEHICLE CAME TO A COMPLETE STOP. WHILE SITTING ON THE SIDE OF THE ROAD AT NIGHT WITH MY KIDS, THE VEHICLE CONTINUED TO SHAKE AND HAD THE TOOL SYMBOL LIGHT ON. WHEN I TRIED TO ACCELERATE, THE ENGINE WOULD SHAKE MORE AND SPUTTER. I LOOKED AT THE ENGINE AND COULD SEE IT SHAKING WITH NO OBVIOUS FLUID LEAKS. AFTER TURNING THE VEHICLE OFF AND SITTING FOR A COUPLE OF MINUTES, I WAS ABLE TO START THE VEHICLE AND DRIVE HOME. IT SEEMS LIKE EVERYTHING IS BACK TO NORMAL BUT I WILL BE CONTACTING MY FORD DEALERSHIP IN THE MORNING TO CHECK IT.

POWER STEERING STOPS WORKING. HUNDREDS OF THOUSANDS RECALLED FOR THIS EXPENSIVE FAULTY/ POOR ENGINEERING. 2013 TAURUS BUT NOT MY . CALLED FORD THEY DON'T EVEN WANT TO TALK TO YOU. DON'T USE THE CAR ANYMORE. CAN CAUSE A SERIOUS ACCIDENT AND I DON'T SEE HOW FORD WOULDN'T BE RESPONSIBLE. KNOWN ISSUE THEY JUST PICK AND CHOOSE WHO GETS HELPED. WHEN STARTING CAR THE POWER STEERING ASSIST FAILURE CODE PROMPTS AND YOU CAN'T DRIVE THE CAR. I'M SURE IT CAN HAPPEN WHEN YOU ARE DRIVING. CAR BECOMES TOO HARD TO HANDLE EVEN FOR A MAN , CAN'T EVEN IMAGINE IF IT HAPPEN TO MY WIFE.

POWER STEERING ASSIST KEEPS FAULTING OUT GOING DOWN THE ROAD. SO MUCH THAT IT IS CURRENTLY OUT NOW. HAZARDOUS TO DRIVE ON THE ROAD. SOME 2013 WERE RECALLED BUT MY VIN NUMBER WASN'T. WHY NOT.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2013 FORD TAURUS. WHILE OPERATING THE VEHICLE, THE CHECK ENGINE INDICATOR REMAINED ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO SUNSET FORD (11700 GRAVOIS RD, ST. LOUIS, MO) WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE TIMING CHAIN WAS FAULTY. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED, BUT NO ASSISTANCE WAS OFFERED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 80,000.

WHILE DRIVING VARIOUS SPEEDS, THE VEHICLE WILL JUST SHUT OFF IN THE MIDDLE OF TRAFFIC AND SHOW A WRENCH LIGHT ON THE DASH. THIS HAS HAPPENED 4 TIMES (TWICE IN THE LAST WEEK) ON MY 2013 FORD TAURUS LIMITED. I CAN START THE CAR AGAIN AFTER ABOUT 20 SECONDS BUT THIS IS A VERY DANGEROUS DEFECT THAT HAS MANY COMPLAINTS. I'M LUCKY NO ONE HAS CRASHED INTO THE BACK OF ME. THIS IS MY FIRST AND LAST FORD.

THE POWER STEERING MODULE FAULT LIGHT CAME ON. THE POWER STEERING QUIT WORKING. FORD HAD TO REPLACE THE POWER STEERING GEAR AND CONTROL MODULE. THE 2013 TAURUS HAS BEEN RECALLED FOR THIS ISSUE BUT NOT OUR VIN NUMBER. THIS OCCURRED WHILE THE CAR WAS STATIONARY WHICH WAS FORTUNATE. I BELIEVE THAT OUR VEHICLE SHOULD BE COVERED IN THIS RECALL SINCE THIS APPEARS TO BE THE SAME PROBLEM AS THE PREVIOUS RECALL. .

MY 2013 FORD TAURUS SHO, POWER STEERING ASSIST WILL SHUT DOWN OCCASIONALLY, STEERING BECOMES VERY DIFFICULT. HAVE TO STOP AND TURN CAR OFF AND BACK ON TO TO REENGAGE STEERING ASSIST. IT HAS HAPPENED WHILE DRIVING, BACKING UP AND AT START UP.

THE LOW OIL PRESSURE LIGHT GOES OFF EVERY 5 MINUTES. THE CAR UNEXPECTEDLY TURNS OFF AND WON'T START. IT ACTS LIKE IT IS OUT OF FUEL.
