THE FUEL PUMP MODULE FAILED IN MY VEHICLE. UPON RESEARCH PUBLISHED REPORTS STATE THAT OVER 465,000 FORD VEHICLES OF THE SAME YEAR WERE RECALLED FOR THIS AND REPLACED WITH ALMOST 80,000 OF THEM BEING THE TAURUS MODEL. I BELIEVE THIS PART SHOULD NOT HAVE FAILED AT 44,000 MILES AND SHOULD BE COVERED UNDER THE RECALL. *TT *AS

THE STEERING IS SUDDENLY VERY "LOOSE". IT WAS FINE ONE DAY AND DANGEROUS TO DRIVE THE NEXT DAY. THE CAR JUST TURNED 60,000 MILES AND WE HAVE OWNED IT FOR 7 MONTHS. I AM VERY UPSET AND BUMMED THAT FORD WON'T FIX IT SINCE IT'S NOT INCLUDED IN THE RECALL, I WANT TO DOCUMENT THIS, SINCE I DRIVE KIDS TO SCHOOL EVERYDAY DOWN SOME ROADS THAT HAVE LOTS OF CURVES AND TREE'S. IF WE CRASH, FORD WILL HEAR ABOUT THIS, I CANNOT BELIEVE THEY WILL LET THESE CARS WANDER DOWN THE ROAD KNOWING IT'S A TICKING TIME BOMB. SO SAD FORD..

TAKATA RECALL 2013 FORD TAURUS... IT'S ONLY FEBRUARY OF 2017 AND I HAVE HAD THIS PROBLEM THREE DIFFERENT TIMES THIS YEAR ALONE. THE CAR STARTS VERY VERY ROUGH. HALF OF THE TIME IT DOESN'T START. THE VEHICLE HAS STALLED ON ME WHILE IN MOTION GOING DOWN CITY STREETS. IT HAS BEEN IN THE SHOP TWICE THIS YEAR TO REPAIR/FIND THE PROBLEM. STILL NO RESULTS. EVEN WHEN THE CAR DOES START I AM AFRAID TO DRIVE IT BECAUSE IT WILL AND HAS STALLED ON ME IN TRAFFIC. AUTOMOTIVE SHOP TOLD ME IT WAS A BAD FUEL PUMP RELAY. I PAID TO HAVE THAT REPLACED. NOT EVEN A WEEK LATER, ONLY SIX DAYS LATER THE CAR STALLS AGAIN. I TOOK IT BACK TO THE SHOP WHERE THEY GOT IT RUNNING AGAIN FOR FREE. BUT ONLY TEMPORARILY. COUPLE WEEKS LATER AT THE MOST AND I'M RIGHT BACK TO WHERE I STARTED. CAR WILL NOT START. IF IT DOES START IT WILL STALL IMMEDIATELY ONCE I AM IN MOTION. THIS VEHICLE IS ONLY THREE YEARS OLD AND THERE IS NO EXCUSE FOR IT NOT BEING ON THE ROAD. THIS IS SAFETY HAZARD. I CANNOT COMFORTABLY DRIVE MY CAR TO AND FROM WORK WITHOUT WORRYING ABOUT IT STALLING AND GETTING REAR-ENDED. IT WILL NOT BE A GOOD DAY WHEN THIS CAUSES AN ACCIDENT.

ON WEDNESDAY FEBRUARY 08, 2017, I WAS DRIVING ON MY WAY TO WORK. WHEN OUT OF NO WHERE, MY FORD TAURUS POLICE INTERCEPTOR 2013 DIE ON ME. WITH NO WARNINGS THE ENGINE JUST TURNED OFF. JUST AS I WAS APROCHING A LIGHT AT A BUSY INTERCEPTION. I TRIED TO TURN IT UP AGAIN AND IT TURNED ON AND DROVE IT FOR 1/2 A MILE. I DROVE IT INSIDE A PARKING LOT OF AN ADVANCE AUTO PARTS. THEY RUN A DYNASTIC BECAUSE, THE CHECK ENGINE CAME ON. AND THE ONLY CODE THEY FOUND WAS THIS: P0627 - FUEL PUMP CONTROL CIRCUIT OPEN. IT SHUT OFF AGAIN AS I PULL OFF IN THE PARKING LOT OF THE AUTO PARTS PLACE. I TRIED TO TURN IT ON AGAIN BUT ONLY CRANKS AND WON'T START ON AGAIN.
