VEHICLE DROVE FINE WITH NO WARNING OF ANY ISSUES. STARTED CAR, DROVE FROM 1 PARKING SPACE TO THE NEXT AND THE ENGINE DIED. CAR WOULD START BUT ON STAYED ON FOR A FEW SECONDS, THEN STALLED OUT AGAIN. TRIED THIS OVER AND OVER AGAIN, REALIZED IT WASN'T GOING TO ACTUALLY RUN. TOOK IT IN TO FORD, THEY DIAGNOSED IT HAVING PROBLEMS WITH THE FUEL PUMP MODULE. I HAVE SEEN SEVERAL RECALLS ON FUEL PUMP MODULES IN SPECIFIC 2013 TAURUS MODELS, BUT MINE ISN'T INCLUDED.

AS I WAS DRIVING INTO WORK TODAY, I HAD LOST MY POWER STEERING ON MY 2013 FORD TAURUS MAKING IT HARD TO CONTROL THE VEHICLE WHEN TURNING. I HAD DONE SOME RESEARCH AND HAD SEEN THAT THERE HAD BEEN A RECALL REPORT BACK IN 2015 (RECALL NOTICE 15S18) PERTAINING TO THE STEERING MODUAL FAILING. UNFORTUNATELY MY 2013 FORD TAURUS IS NOT COVERED UNDER THIS RECALL PER FORD MOTOR COMPANY.

THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED AND REFERRED THE CONTACT TO THE DEALER (COGGIN FORD JACKSONVILLE, 9650 ATLANTIC BLVD, JACKSONVILLE, FL 32225).

THE POWER STEERING ON MY 2013 FORD TAURUS LIMITED HAS GOTTEN HARD TO TURN AND IS REALLY BAD AT LOW SPEED AND TAKING TWO HANDS TO TURN. IT ONLY HAS 61700 MILES ON IT. I LOOKED UP THE PROBLEM ONLINE AND THERE ARE COUNTLESS COMPLAINTS WITH THIS ISSUE AND A RECALL FOR IT. WHEN I CONTACTED FORD MOTOR COMPANY THEY SAID THAT MY CAR IS NOT INCLUDED IN THE RECALL, THE RECALL ONLY COVERS FORD TAURUS SEPTEMBER 7, 2010 THRU FEBRUARY 28, 2012, MY FORD TAURUS WAS MANUFACTURERED IN 2013. I CONTACTED MY LOCAL FORD DEALERSHIP AND THE SAID THAT THE POWER STEERING CONTROL MODULE IS BACK ORDERED UNTIL MID JULY. THIS IS JUST ABSURD THAT MY FORD TAURUS IS NOT COVERED UNDER THE RECALL AND FURTHERMORE THE PART IS NOT AVAILABLE TO FIX IT UNTIL MID JULY. THE FORD MOTOR COMPANY HAS ME AND MY FAMILY DRIVE AROUND IN A CAR WITH FAULTY STEERING THAT IS UNSAFE WITH THE POTENTIAL TO CAUSE US TO HAVE AN ACCIDENT WITH NO FIX FOR MONTHS.

THE STEERING WHEEL STARTED GETTING LOOSE STARTING ABOUT 3 MONTHS AGO. THEN THE AIR BAG LIGHT STARTED COMING ON AND NOT GOING OFF. I SAW THE RECALL ON OTHER FORD MODELS FOR THE STEERING WHEEL AND THOUGHT THIS MIGHT BE THE SAME SCENARIO. I TRIED TO CONTACT FORD TWICE AND BOTH TIMES WAS INTERRUPTED BY THE AUTOMATED REQUEST TO TAKE A SURVEY. I DON'T KNOW IF THE STEERING WHEEL HAS EVER BEEN REMOVED, BUT I DO KNOW THAT THE DRIVERS AIRBAG WAS REPLACED AT SOME TIME.
