2016 FORD TAURUS Complaints

The contact owns a 2016 Ford Taurus. The contact stated that the front passenger's seat belt was inoperable. The vehicle was taken to the dealer and diagnosed that the seat belt system needed to be replaced; however, the part was on backorder. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was not made aware of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 80,000.

The rear back up camera has stopped working properly and most of the time it's not working at all making it a safety risk maneuvering in reverse when children or other pedestrians are around.

I purchased the car a week ago from a dealership and sadly that the car was as is. At the time nothing was wrong with the car, and 2 days later after the car APIM system started malfunctioning, I restarted the system and that did not work. I took to a dealership and they did the same thing I did and it is still the same. Dealership stated it could be the APIM malfunctioning on the car and it was going to cost me $900 to get it fixed. I haven't had the car for a week and things are already going bad. No warning light appeared before the incident happened and nobody was hurt.

AFTER DRIVING FOR BETWEEN 50 AND 100 MILES WHEN I STOP AND BEFORE I PUT IT IN PARK THE ENGINE ACCELERATES WITHOUT PUSHING THE ACCELERATOR I HAVE TO PUT IN PARK HOLDING THE BRAKE AFTER A SECOND OR TWO IT GOES BACK TO IDLE

THE FUEL PUMP CONTROL MODULE FAILED, RENDERING THE VEHICLE UNABLE TO START, STEER, OR BRAKE PROPERLY. THE VEHICLE WAS STARTED BUT NOT MOVING. IT STALLED AND WAS UNABLE TO START AGAIN. I KNOW THIS WAS A KNOWN ISSUE FOR EARLIER MODELS OF THE SAME VEHICLE. I HAVE REPAIR INVOICES, BUT AM CURRENTLY UNABLE TO UPLOAD THEM TO THE WEBSITE.

MY FUEL SYSTEM WENT OFF ALL KINDS OF ERROR COMING ON CAR STOPS WHILE RUNNING ON THE HIGHWAY

I TOOK MY CAR TO DEAN SELLERS FORD WITH A PREMATURE RIGHT REAR BEARING FAILURE THAT WAS COVERED BY THE WARRANTY ON MY 2016 TAURUS SHO. WHILE AT THE DEALER, I WAS INFORMED THAT THE TOE REAR TOE LINK REQUIRED REPLACEMENT. ON JUNE 12, 2019, FORD MEDIA CENTER ISSUED ISSUE A MEMO "FORD MOTOR COMPANY ISSUES FOUR SAFETY RECALLS" WHICH INDICATED THAT THE "AFFECTED VEHICLES INCLUDE 2010-2017 FORD TAURUS VEHICLES BUILT AT THE CHICAGO ASSEMBLY PLANT, JULY 2, 2009-MAY 25, 2017." THIS INCLUDED MY 2016 TAURUS SHO, BUT THE DEALER HAD NO KNOWLEDGE OF THE RECALL AND HAS NOW CHARGED ME FOR THE REPLACEMENT OF THE RECALL ITEM. ALSO, I'M CONCERNED THAT THE REPLACEMENT TOE LINK WAS NOT THE HARDENED REPLACEMENT PART AND WAS THE ORIGINAL OEM PART THAT IS PRONE TO FAILURE. THE FAILURE OF THIS PART CAN BE CATASTROPHIC AND CAUSE LOSS OF CONTROL OF THE VEHICLE.

OIL LEAK FROM TURBO LINE, WAS SHOWING RECALL AFFECTED 2016 FORD TAURUS SHO REFERENCE 16S463 BUT WHEN I CALL DEALER AND LOOK UP VIN MY CAR IS NOT SHOWING TO BE INCLUDED. HOWEVER, I KEEP GETTING A BURNING OIL SMELL AND CAR IN SHOP RIGHT NOW AND OIL LINE THAT GOES TO ONE OF THE TURBO CHARGES IS LEAKING AND FIRE HAZARD. *TR

I DON'T EVEN KNOW WHERE TO BEGIN. EVERY PROBLEM YOU COULD IMAGINE WITH THIS CAR ONLY AY 69K MILES AFTER FORDS PATHETIC POWERTRIAN WARRANTY EXPIRES. I BOUGHT THIS CAR AT 66K MILES SPENT 20 GRAND AFTER TAX AND ONLY MADE ONE PAYMENT BESIDES THE DOWN PAYMENT. FIRST OFF THE PTU FAILED ON THIS VEHICLE FAILED AFTER 2K MILES WITCH IS A REALLY COMMON PROBLEM ON THIS VEHICLE WITCH WAS A $900 PART THOUGH FORD. HAD THIS REPLACED AND NOT ONLY 7 DAYS LATER AND BARELY 1K MILES THE TRANSMISSION FAILED CAUSING THE MOTOR TO OVERHEAT DAMAGING THE MOTOR.. NOW I HAVE A $400+ PAYMENT ON A VEHICLE THAT NEEDS OVER $9000 IN REPAIRS BETWEEN THE MOTOR AND TRANSMISSION AND THE DEALER WONT FIX IT BECAUSE I DIDNT BUY AND EXTENDED WARRANTY AND ITS OUT OF THE FACTORY 60K WARRANTY. NOTE THIS IS A 2016 (PERFORMANCE SEDAN) (SHO) AND THIS HAS BEEN THE MOST UNRELIABLE CAR I HAVE EVER BOUGHT. I WOULD LIKE TO NOTE I ALWAYS BUY FORD AND HAVE HAD ISSUES HERE AND THERE BUT NOTHING LIKE THIS BETWEEN BREAK DOWNS I DIDN'T EVEN GET TO DRIVE THE CAR 30 DAYS AND NOW OWN 6 YEARS WORTH OF PAYMENTS... THKS CAR HAS LITERALLY BROKE ME AND FORD WON'T DO ANYTHING TO MAKE IT RIGHT THERE WAS CLEARLY SOME SORT OF MANUFACTURE DEFECT WITH THIS CAR AND IT SHOULD BE RECALLED I WOULD NEVER RECOMMEND BUY THIS CAR WITHOUT A SERIOUS WARRANTY BECAUSE I KNOW SOME PEOPLE THAT HAVE HAD BETTER LUCK WITH THIS CAR IN EARLIER MODELS WITH THE SAME DRIVETRAIN BUT MINE CAN'T BE THE ONLY 16 SHO THAT HAVE HAD THESE PROBLEMS AND IM SURE OTHER PEOPLE HAVE BEEN LEFT IN HARDSHIP ON NOW NOT HAVING A CAR AND HAVE 20K IN AUTO LOAN DEBT. ALL THIS HAPPENED UNDER NORMAL DRIVING CONDITIONS. THIS CAR WAS BUILT TO BE ABLE TO USE ON THE TRACK AND COMPLETELY FAILED UNDER NORMAL DRIVING CONDITIONS. VERY VERY DISAPPOINTED AND HOPE FORD WILL RECALL THIS MAJOR ISSUE IN THERE "PERFORMANCE VEHICLES"
