2014 FORD TAURUS Complaints

MY BACK UP CAMERA WORKS SOMETIMES AND SOMETIMES IT JUST DISPLAYS A BLACK SCREEN OR SHOWS A MESSAGE THAT SAYS "BACKUP CAMERA UNAVAILABLE, PLEASE CONTACT YOUR DEALERSHIP"

BATTERY LIGHT COMES ON WHEEL GETS HARD TO TURN AC LOWERS AND WON'T GO ON HIGH MODE.

THE POWER STEERING EPAS WENT OUT WHIE DRIVING AT 40MPH. VERY DIFFICULT TO GET OF THE ROAD SAFELY. THERE WAS NO WARNING OR ERROR CODES. IT JUST WENT OUT AND WE PARKED THE CAR. WE WERE ON A SECONDARY HIGHWAY.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2014 FORD TAURUS. THE CONTACT STATED THE VEHICLE FAILED TO START WITHOUT WARNING. THE CONTACT CALLED SHEEHY FORD OF MARLOW HEIGHTS (5000 AUTH RD, MARLOW HEIGHTS, MD 20746, (301) 298-0793) HOWEVER, THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED NOR REPAIRED. THE CONTACT STATED THE FAILURE WAS LIKE THAT OF NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 16V621000 (FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE). THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT CONTACTED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 61,000.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2014 FORD TAURUS. THE CONTACT STATED THAT AFTER STARTING THE VEHICLE, THE POWER STEERING ASSIST WARNING LIGHT ILLUMINATED AND THE STEERING WHEEL WAS VERY DIFFICULT TO TURN IN EITHER DIRECTION. AFTER RESTARTING THE VEHICLE, THE FAILURE WAS CORRECTED. THE VEHICLE WAS DRIVEN TO THE LOCAL DEALER PLYMOUTH FORD LOCATED AT 14 TOWN WEST RD, PLYMOUTH, NH 03264, WHO DIAGNOSED THAT THE STEERING RACK WAS DEFECTIVE AND NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT YET REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE BUT NO ASSISTANCE WAS OFFERED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 18,000. THE VIN WAS NOT AVAILABLE.

WE WERE RETURNING TO OUR FARM FROM A TRIP TO TOWN. THE CRUISE CONTROL WAS SET AT THE 70MPH SPEED LIMIT. A RECENT CONSTRUCTION PROJECT GAVE US A NEWLY PAVED ROAD. IT WAS A BEAUTIFUL SUNNY DAY WITH NO WIND AND TEMPS IN THE LOW 80'S. WE WERE ENJOYING THE RIDE AND NOTED WHAT AN IMPROVEMENT THE NEWLY PAVED ROAD WAS. WITHOUT WARNING THE TIRES BEGAN SQUEALING AND THE CONTROL CHARACTERISTICS OF OUR TAURUS CHANGED DRAMATICALLY. THE STEERING BECAME LABORED (I BELIEVE FROM THE AUTOMATED ANTI LOCK AND TRACTION CONTROL SYSTEMS ENGAGEDING). MY ATTEMPT TO COMPENSATE FOR THE VIOLENT CHANGE IN VEHICLE OPERATION AND REGAIN CONTROL WERE QUICKLY FUTILE. WE SUCCUMBED TO THE LAWS OF MOTION SPINNING HOPELESSLY OUT OF CONTROL ACROSS THE ONCOMING LANE INTO THE OPPOSITE DITCH AT A HIGH RATE OF SPEED. MIRACULOUSLY WE THERE WAS NO ONCOMING TRAFFIC AND WE DIDN'T PLUNGE INTO THE MYRIAD OF STEEP TERRAIN CONDITIONS COMMON ON THIS STRETCH OF HIGHWAY. WE DID NOT ROLL BUT CAME VIOLENTLY TO REST ON THE FAR UPSLOPE OF THE OPPOSITE ROADSIDE DITCH. MY LATER RESEARCH FOR THE CAUSE OF OUR SUDDEN LOSS OF CONTROL PRODUCED THE NHTSA RECALL NO. :20V-072 WHICH IDENTIFIED THE REAR TOE LINK ON CERTAIN FORD MODELS AS SUBJECT TO FAILURE. I LATER CONFIRMED THE DRIVER SIDE REAR TOE LINK HAD SNAPPED ON OUR TAURUS AND WAS THE CAUSE OF OUR ACCIDENT.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2014 FORD TAURUS. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE VEHICLE FAILED TO START AFTER MULTIPLE ATTEMPTS. DUE TO THE FAILURE, THE CONTACT HAD THE VEHICLE TOWED TO KERRY FORD, INC (155 W KEMPER RD, CINCINNATI, OH 45246) WHERE THEY REPLACED THE BATTERY. LESS THEN TWO WEEKS LATER, THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE VEHICLE STALLED WHILE DRIVING AT A LOW RATE OF SPEED, WITHOUT WARNING. THE VEHICLE WOULD NOT RESTART AFTER THE FAILURE AND THE CONTACT HAD THE VEHICLE TOWED BACK TO THE DEALER. THEY THEN DIAGNOSED THE VEHICLE WITH A DEFECTIVE FUEL PUMP. THE FUEL PUMP WAS REPLACED. UPON RESEARCH, THE CONTACT LINKED HIS FAILURE TO NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 16V621000 (FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE). THE CONTACT NOTIFIED THE MANUFACTURER WHO INFORMED HIM THAT HIS VEHICLE WAS NOT INCLUDED IN THE RECALL. THE MANUFACTURER OFFERED NO FURTHER ASSISTANCE. THE VEHICLE HAD BEEN REPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 55,000.

CAR IS PARKED IN DRIVEWAY, AND WITHOUT WARNING, THE CAR WILL NO LONGER START. CAR ATTEMPTS TO START AND CRANKING LAST FOR APPROXIMATELY 5 SECONDS, BUT NOTHING HAPPENS. SEARCHES ONLINE AS TO THE CAUSE LEAD ME TO BELIEVE THIS IS THE FUEL PUMP CONTROL MODULE, A FAULTY PART AT THE CENTER OF SAFETY RECALL 16S31. HOWEVER MY MODEL IS NOT COVERED UNDER THE RECALL.

WE ARE RECEIVING A ERROR ON OUR DASH; THAT READS POWER STEERING ASSIST. WHEN THIS HAPPENS THE STEERING WHEEL GET HARD TO TURN. I SEE THAT IT HAD A RECALL ON THE 2010-2013, ANYWAY TO GET THE 2014 INCLUDED.

WORKING ON 3RD FUEL PUMP , AND ALSO 2 FUEL RELAYS AND A CANISTER .. KEEPS STALLING LEAVING ME STRANDED. THIS HAS HAPPENED MULTIPLE TIMES BEFOR 06/28/2020
