My vehicle engine stopped running in traffic and would not restart. I had the vehicle towed to my usual service shop. The reason the car stopped and would not restart was diagnosed as a failure of the fuel pump electric module (Ford part GA8Z 9D370 A). My service shop was advised by the Ford parts dealer that there was a recall (# 16V621000) in 2016 for that part. I contacted Ford and was advised that my vehicle VIN was not part of that recall. Do not know why. Certainly, a vehicle that stops running in traffic creates a safety hazard to that vehicle and other vehicle on the road.

I lost steering and turn light signal function completely. It started on the highway (I96) and the alert went off on the dashboard: Service Advance Trac, Steering Fault Service Now, Steering Loss Stop Safely. I got off exit for Nunica and loss turn signal and when I turned on 130th Street I was having a hard time turning the steering wheel. Thank God I made it to a location and was able to stop.

Over the weekend I noticed my steering was making a cluck noise from both the front and rear making the car very uncomfortable to ride and it kinda moves more left or a little right when on highway. I also noticed my check engine light came on. I took the car to get looked and the diagnosis read I have bad fuel pump line or evap dont know smell fuse of gas, gas gauge goes up an down. I was to notify NHTSA and to Report this incident and whether to see if theirs any Recall to my Vehicle. Please and thank you.

My brother was making a left turn at the intersection of 170th street.He had been traveling north on Torrence avenue in Lansing prior to the collision. He had come to a complete stop while waiting to safely complete a left turn to travel west on 170th street. As he proceeded through the intersection at 170th & Torrence avenue,a southbound vehicle ran through the stop signal and collided with the 2014 Taurus vehicle ,my brother was driving.After the contact the air bags in the 2014 ford Taurus did not deploy and the 2014 ford Taurus had spun around facing south,when it came to a complete stop

The power steering failed for no reason and i hit a curb.There is multiple complaints on the internet with this same issue..Very dangerous and it happened without warning if there was a pedestrian on the curb i could of hit them.

HAD MY RACK AND PINION REPLACED BACK IN 11/18/2019, AND NOW THE SAME PROBLEM HAS OCCURED AGAIN. ON, APRIL 28TH I HAD A RECALL FOR THE HANDSHAFT FIXED AT THE LOCAL DEALERSHIP. TWO DAYS LATER WHILE DRIVING MY STEERING COLUMN LOCKED WHILE TRYING TO MAKE A LEFT TURN TO ANOTHER STREET. AND AN ALERT STATING "STEERING ASSIST FAULT SERVICE REQUIRED" "SERVICE ADVANCE TRAC" FLASHED IN INFO CENTER. I AM CONCERNED BECAUSE THIS WAS A RECALL THAT OCCURED ON PREVIOUS MODELS AND THE RECALL ENDED WITH THE 2013 MODEL. OBVIOUSLY THE PROBLEM IS STILL OCCURING WITH THIS ELECTRICAL PART AND HAS YET TO BE ADDRESSED WITH FORD. NOT ONLY IS THIS A INCONVIENCE IT'S A SAFETY HAZARD AS WELL. I WAS IN TRAFFIC WHEN THIS OCCURED AND LUCKILY TRAFFIC WAS LIGHT WHEN THIS OCCURED BECAUSE THIS COULD HAVE ENDED WAY WORSE..
