2013 Ford Taurus complaints

STEERING WHEEL LOCKED AS MY DAUGHTER WAS DRIVING AWAY FROM OUR HOUSE SUNDAY, DECEMBER 23, 2018. PROBLEM HAPPENED TO MY WIFE ONE WEEK BEFORE AS SHE WAS TRYING TO BACK CAR OUT OF DRIVEWAY WHILE I WAS OUT OF UNITED STATES. THE CAR GAVE WARNING "POWER STEERING ASSIST DEFAULT."

THE POWER STEERING , JUST QUITS FROM TIME TO TIME... VERY SCARY NEEDS TO BE ADDRESSED. IN MOTION VERY COLD OUT IN CITY AT THE TIME ..

I RECEIVED A POWER STEERING FAULT ON MY 2013 FORD TAURUS. IT WAS UNABLE TO BE MOVED SO I HAD IT TOWED AND WAS TOLD IT WAS THE ELECTRIC POWER STEERING COMPONENT NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THIS SHOULD BE COVERED UNDER A RECALL BUT I WAS TOLD BY FORD THAT MY VIN WASN'T AFFECTED. I NOTICED SEVERAL COMPLAINTS REGARDING THIS ISSUE ON FORUMS AND OTHER WEBSITES. THE COST OF THE REPAIR WAS OVER 2K AND AT THAT AMOUNT FORD SHOULD LOOK INTO THIS ISSUE.

AIR BAD LIGHT COME ON IN THE DASHER ALL THE TIME

I WENT TO MALL CAME OUT AND CAR WOULD NOT START. TOWED TO WEBB FORD NEXT DAY AND MECHANIC SAID FUEL PUMP ELECTRIC MODULE (PEM) OVERHEATED CAUSING LOSS OF POWER TO FUEL PUMP. A LOSS OF POWER TO THE FUEL PUMP WILL CAUSE THE ENGINE TO STALL OR PREVENT THE VEHICLE FROM STARTING, INCREASING THE RISK OF A CRASH. COST TO FIX WAS 400.00.

DRIVING IN TRAFFIC AND WITHOUT WARNING, VEHICLE LOSES POWER AND SHUDDERS. SLOWS DRAMATICALLY. WRENCH INDICATOR LIGHT COMES ON. IT HAS HAPPENED TWICE NOW, LUCKILY I WAS ABLE TO PULL OUT OF TRAFFIC AND TURN VEHICLE OFF. AFTER A FEW MOMENTS IT WILL START AND THE LIGHT IS OFF. BOTH TIMES SPEED WAS 50-60 MPH. WIFE IS NOW SCARED TO DRIVE IT. IT HAS 52,000 MILES.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2013 FORD TAURUS. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE VEHICLE FAILED STATE INSPECTION BECAUSE THE LICENSE PLATE BULBS WERE NOT WORKING. THE CONTACT REPLACED THE BULBS TO PASS THE INSPECTION; HOWEVER, THE BULBS HAD AN INTERNAL SHORT AND THE VEHICLE FAILED THE INSPECTION AGAIN. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER INDICATED THAT THE VEHICLE WAS EXCLUDED FROM THE MANUFACTURER SERVICE CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 14S08 REGARDING THE LICENSE PLATE LAMP ASSEMBLY REPLACEMENT (EXTERIOR LIGHTING). THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. A DIAGNOSTIC APPOINTMENT WAS MADE WITH PHIL FITTS FORD & LINCOLN (3250 WILMINGTON RD, NEW CASTLE, PA 16105, (724) 658-3521) FOR DECEMBER 12, 2018. IN ADDITION, THE TOUCH SCREEN BUTTONS FAILED TO FUNCTION, INCLUDING THE CONTROLS FOR THE AIR CONDITIONER AND HEATER. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURES. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS NOT AVAILABLE.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2013 FORD TAURUS. WHILE DRIVING AT UNKNOWN SPEEDS, THE VEHICLE LOST POWER AND STALLED. THERE WERE NO WARNING INDICATORS ILLUMINATED. THE LOCAL DEALER WAS NOT CONTACTED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED AND REFERRED THE CONTACT TO NHTSA. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 76,000.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2013 FORD TAURUS. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE VEHICLE WOULD NOT START. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE LOCAL DEALER (WESTFIELD FORD, 6200 S. LAGRANGE RD, COUNTRYSIDE, IL) WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE FUEL CONTROL MODULE WAS FAULTY AND NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE MODULE WAS REPLACED AND THE FAILURE WAS REMEDIED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 70,000.

FAILURE OF ELECTRONIC POWER ASSIST STEERING UPON STARTUP OF CAR. THERE IS MESSAGE DISPLAYS IN THE INSTRUMENT CLUSTER MESSAGE CENTER AND A CHIME SOUNDS TO INFORM OF THE FAILURE. THIS IS A FREQUENT FAILURE THAT CAN BE REMEDIED BY RESTARTING THE CAR. HOWEVER, IF THIS FAILED WHILE DRIVING ON THE ROAD A SERIOUS ACCIDENT MAY OCCUR. THIS IS THE SAME CONDITION AS FORD 15S18 RECALL. HOWEVER, THE CAR VIN DOES NOT MATCH FORD'S DATABASE BECAUSE ALTHOUGH THE CAR WAS MANUFACTURED IN THE FACILITY (CHICAGO) WITH THE KNOWN ISSUE IT IS OUTSIDE THE SPECIFIED DATE OF PRODUCTION FOR WHICH THE RECALL INCLUDES. PLEASE EXPAND THE RECALL, THERE IS SIGNIFICANT PROOF OF MANY FORD DRIVERS WITH THIS SAME ISSUE THAT DO NOT QUALIFY FOR THE RECALL. THE ISSUE IS MUCH LARGER THAN INITIALLY SPECIFIED BY FORD, AND COULD RESULT IN A SIGNIFICANT HAZARD ON THE ROADS IF NOT PROPERLY REMEDIED.

THE ENGINE JUST STALLS WITHOUT ANY WARNING WHILE DRIVING AND WILL NOT RESTART FOR AWHILE. I CALLED FORD, BUT THE LADY TOLD ME THEY ARE NOT TECHNICIANS AT THE CALL CENTER SO THEY CAN'T ASSIST; EVEN AFTER I TOLD THEM THAT I TOOK THE CAR TO A FORD DEALERSHIP AND THEIR SCANNING DIDN'T REVEAL ANYTHING. THE ISSUES HAPPENS 5 TIMES OVER TWO MONTHS.

WHILE DRIVING MY CAR, 1 WEEKS AGO, POWER STEERING TOTALLY FAILED. WAS GOING ABOUT 35 MILES AN HOUR. THE POWER STEERING ASSIST FAULT WARNING CAME ON MY DISPLAY. HAD TO MAN HANDLE THE CAR TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD WHERE I SHUT THE CAR DOWN. I PROCEEDED TO RESTART ENGINE AT WHICH TIME THE WARNING RESET ITSELF AND POWER STEERING CAME BACK. GOT MY CAR HOME WITH NO FURTHER PROBLEMS. JUST YESTERDAY AFTER STARTING MY CAR SAME WARNING CAME ON WITH TOTAL FAILURE OF STEERING SYSTEM. LUCKILY I WASN'T MOVING. I INVESTIGATED THIS PROBLEM ONLINE AND FOUND THERE WAS A RECALL FOR THIS SAME PROBLEM. HOWEVER, MY VEHICLE IS NOT INCLUDED IN THIS RECALL. ALSO NOTED THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM AS STATED BY MANY IN THE RECALL FORUMS I VIEWED ONLINE. THE RECALL FOR THE DEFECT WAS ISSUED 06/02/2015 (RECALL # 15V340000). I WOULD ALSO NOTE THAT THE POWER STEERING FAULT DID NOT RESET ITSELF THIS TIME AND THE POWER STEERING ITSELF IS TOTALLY DISABLED.

MY FORD TAURUS 2013 LIMITED WONT STEER TO THE RIGHT OR LEFT WHEN DRIVING ON THE STREET I WAS LOOKING FOR THE POWER STEERING FLUID BUT MINE IS ELECTRONIC WITH 74000 MILES AND AM HAVING POWER STEERING PROBLEM ALREADY I SEE OTHER COMPLAINS ABOUT THE FORD TAURUS 2013.

MY FIRST PROBLEM WAS THE FUEL PUMP. THE SECOND WAS THE POWER STEERING. NOW I AM HAVING AN ENGINE PROBLEM THAT I AM WAITING ON A MECHANIC TO CHECK.

I WAS WORKING WITH SOMEONE TO GET REIMBURSED FOR THIS. HIS NAME WAS DONTE KIRKSEY. I HAVE ALL EMAILS . I HAD A FAILED PART THAT MADE MY CAR COMPLETEY STOP WHILE I WAS DRIVING. TBEY REALIZED IT WAS FORDS FAULT WAS SUPPOSE TO REIMBURSE US 700. AND STILL HAVENT HEARD BACK

ENGINE WILL TURN OVER HOWEVER WILL NOT START AS IF IT IS STARVED FOR FUEL OR NO SPARK

WHILE DRIVING MY CAR WOULD CUT OFF. IT WOULD TRY TO START BUT NOT TURN OVER ALL THE WAY. AFTER A COUPLE OF HOURS THE CAR WOULD RESTART.I TOOK THE CAR TO THE DEALERSHIP TO FIND OUT IT WAS MY FUEL PUMP CONTROL MODULE. WHICH I SEE HAS BEEN RECALLED IN OTHER VEHICLES LIKE MINE.

CAR STALLS AND CUTS OFF WITHOUT WARNING WHILE DRIVING. IT LOSES ALL POWER AND SHUTS DOWN.IT HAS HAPPENED SERVERAL TIMES PERIODICAL ON A CITY STREET AS WELL AS ON THE HIGHWAY WHILE CAR IS IN MOTION.THERE IS ALSO A PROBLEM WITH SMELLING GAS FUMES INSIDE THE CAR WHEN THIS HAPPENS.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2013 FORD TAURUS. WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 40, THE VEHICLE STALLED WITHOUT WARNING. DEAN SELLERS FORD (2600 W MAPLE RD, TROY, MI 48084) WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE AND STATED THAT THERE WAS NO RECALL ON THE VEHICLE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 70,000.

I WAS BACKING OUT MY YARD AND MY POWER STEERING LIGHT CAME ON WHICH MADE IT HARD FOR ME TO STEER. ALSO MY TRAC ADVANCE LIGHT CAME ON AS WELL

THE DRIVER SIDE AND PASSENGER SIDE DOOR LOCKS DO NOT WORK WITH THE KEY FOB. AT TIMES THEY APPEAR TO BE LOCKED, BUT ARE NOT. THIS OCCURRED AFTER A RECALL WHERE THE INTERIOR DOOR HANDLES WERE REPLACED. IT DID NOT DO IT AT THE DEALERSHIP SO IT COULD NOT BE FIXED UNDER WARRANTY. NOW MY CAR WILL NOT START. IT STARTED, THEN DIED AND IT CRANKS, BUT DOES NOT START. EVENTUALLY THE BATTERY DIES. IT ACTS LIKE IT IS NOT GETTING FUEL. THE FUEL PUMP ASSEMBLY WAS REPLACE (13S04) IN JULY OF 2014. THERE IS A RECALL OF THE FUEL PUMP CONTROL MODULE (16S31) FOR CARS 201301015, BUT MINE IS NOT ONE OF THEM. IT SHOULD BE!

VEHICLE QUIT ACCELERATING WHILE DRIVING DOWN A PAVED 45 MPH ROAD, WRENCH SYMBOL APPEARED ON THE DASH AND ENGINE RAN ROUGH. ACCORDING TO THE OWNERS MANUAL THE WRENCH SYMBOL INDICATES THAT THE VEHICLE WENT INTO REDUCED POWER MODE. HAD IT TOWED TO THE SHOP AND IT STARTED AND RAN NORMAL FOR HIM. THERE WERE NO ACTIVE, PENDING,OR MEMORY CODES IN THE COMPUTER SYSTEM. IT WAS DRIVEN 50 MILES WITH NO OTHER PROBLEM OCCURRING DURING THE TEST DRIVES. THERE ARE NO RECALLS ON THIS VEHICLE FOR THIS VERY DANGEROUS CONDITION EVEN THOUGH THERE ARE MANY DOCUMENTED CASES OF THE EXACT SAME PROBLEM.

MY CAR WAS PARKED , I WENT TO START THE VEHICLE AND IT JUST CRANKS , THE ENGINE NEVER TURNS . I'M TOLD IT'S THE FUEL PUMP AND THAT MY CAR HAD A RECALL FOR THIS ISSUE BUT MY VIN DOESN'T SHOW UP IN TH SEARCH FOR A RECALL .

STEERING ASSIST FAILURE. DIFFICULTY STEERING, OCCURS INTERMITTENTLY, $1700.00 REPAIR ESTIMATE

WHILE DRIVING LOSS OF POWER STERING MESSAGE CAME ON THE DASH AND WHEN I SHUT THE ENGINE OFF AND RESTARTED THE ENGINE THERE WAS NO POWER ASSIST.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2013 FORD TAURUS. WHILE DRIVING 60 MPH, THE VEHICLE STALLED AND LOST POWER WHILE GOING INTO LIMP MODE. IN ADDITION, THE POWER TRAIN FAULT WARNING INDICATOR ILLUMINATED. THE CONTACT MENTIONED THAT IT TOOK SEVERAL ATTEMPTS TO RESTART THE VEHICLE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT TAKEN TO A DEALER OR INDEPENDENT MECHANIC FOR DIAGNOSTIC TESTING OR REPAIRS. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 101,000.

I HAVE A COMPLAINT ABOUT THE TRUNK HYDRAULIC MECHANISM. I WAS HURT WHEN THE TRUNK WAS OPEN I SAT ON THE BUMPER TO PUT MY GOLF SHOES ON. AT THAT TIME THE HYDRAULIC AIR PUMP THAT HOLDS THE TRUNK OPEN FAILED AND FELL DIRECT ON BY BACK. FORGETTING THIS HAPPENED IT ALSO CLOSED ON MY HEAD CUTTING IT. I BELIEVE THIS IS VERY DANGEROUS AND NEEDS TO BE RECALL BEFORE A FINGER IS CHOPPED OFF. PLEASE LET ME KNOW WHO I CAN RESPOND TO. STATIONARY

VEHICLE HAS LOST POWER STEERING. LOW SPEEDS IT IS NEARLY IMPOSSIBLE TO TURN LEFT OR RIGHT. AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS STEERING WHEEL FEELS LOCKED UP. TAKEN TO DEALERSHIP (WILLIAMS FORD LINCOLN SERVICE DEPT - 205 SOUTH MAIN STREET ATHENS, PA 18810) TWICE. FIRST TIME THEY DID A CPU UPDATE - SAID THEY COULD NOT DIAGNOSE UNTIL THAT WAS COMPLETE - WERE 99% SURE IT WOULD FIX THE PROBLEM. MADE IT WORSE - BACK IN THE SHOP NOW WAITING TO HEAR HOW TO PROCEED.

MY TAURUS STALLED AT A RED LIGHT, THE ENGINE TURNED OVER, BUT WOULD NOT START. I WAS IN THE MIDDLE LANE OF A VERY BUSY ROAD. I WAS TOWED TO A NEARBY SERVICE CENTER. THEY HAD TO REPLACE THE FUEL PUMP CONTROL MODULE AND FUEL PUMP AND HANGER WITH SENDER. IT TURNS OUT THAT FORD HAD A RECALL FOR 77,502 2013-2015 FORD TAURUS'S FOR THE FUEL PUMP ELECTRIC MODULE. THIS PART WAS OVERHEATING CAUSING LACK OF POWER TO THE FUEL PUMP. I TALKED TO THE SERVICE MANAGER, VICTOR HYER, AT COCONUT POINT FORD, ESTERO, FL AND HE IN A VERY UNPROFESSIONAL WAY TOLD ME THAT IT WASN'T THEIR PROBLEM, I NEEDED TO TALK TO FORD CUSTOMER SERVICE. I HAD TALKED TO THEM ON NUMEROUS OCCASIONS STARTING 7/11/18 FOR MY POWER STEERING FAILURE, THAT FORD HAD RECALLED OVER 400,000 CARS INCLUDING 2013 FORD TAURUS'S (SAFER CAR COMPLAINT NUMBER 1112315) THEY WOULD NOT LET ME TALK TO ANYONE ABOVE THE LEVEL OF SUPERVISOR.

ON (4) OCCASIONS IN THE LAST 2 WEEKS, A WRENCH LIGHT HAS COME ON AND MY TAURUS ENTERED LIMP MODE, CAUSING A RAPID DECELERATION WITH THE INABILITY TO MAINTAIN A SAFE SPEED WITH OTHER TRAFFIC ON THE HIGHWAY. IN ALL BUT ONE OF THESE INSTANCES, I WAS IN A CENTER TRAVEL LANE ON A 4 LANE HIGHWAY WHERE THE FLOW OF TRAFFIC REGULARLY EXCEEDS 65MPH. THE FACT THAT THIS "LIMP" MODE CAN INITIATE AND REDUCE YOUR SPEED AS DRASTICALLY AS IT DOES IS CERTAINLY A SAFETY CONCERN.

I WAS BACKING OUT OF A PARKING SPOT AND THE POWER STEERING FAILED. THE POWER STEERING FAULT LIGHT CAME ON. I TURNED THE CAR OFF, TURNED IT BACK ON AND THE POWER STEERING WORKED. I THEN TOOK THE TAURUS TO COCONUT POINT FORD. THEY SAID THAT I NEEDED A NEW STEERING GEAR ASSEMBLY AND MY TAURUS WAS NOT ON THE #15S18 RECALL LIST. I HAVE ENCLOSED MY INVOICE FOR $2,093.45. I TALKED TWICE TO FORD CUSTOMER SERVICE. I MENTIONED THE 445,000 CARS (INCLUDING THE 2013 TAURUS) THAT HAD BEEN RECALLED FOR THIS SAME PROBLEM. "NOTHING THEY CAN DO!" NOT A GREAT ANSWER... LOOKING ON THE INTERNET, THERE ARE A LOT OF FORD TAURUS CUSTOMERS THAT HAD THE SAME PROBLEM WITH THEIR CARS BEING RECALLED. I AM VERY THANKFUL THAT MY WIFE WAS NOT DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY WHEN THIS HAPPENED!

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2013 FORD TAURUS. WHILE DRIVING 50 MPH, THE ENGINE STALLED AND THE VEHICLE COASTED TO A STOP ON THE ROAD SHOULDER. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO THE DEALER (TOWN EAST FORD, 18411 LYNDON B JOHNSON FWY, MESQUITE, TX 75150, (972) 584-9140) WHERE THE FUEL PUMP MODULAR AND RELAY WERE REPLACED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE, BUT OFFERED NO ASSISTANCE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 90,000.

THE CAR IS NOT STEERING CORRECTLY AS IT SHOULD. THE WHEEL IS HARDER TO TURN AT LOWER SPEEDS AND WILL SOMEWHAT ACT NORMAL AT HIGHER SPEEDS.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2013 FORD TAURUS. WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 30 MPH, THE VEHICLE STALLED WITHOUT WARNING.

A MONTH LATER, THE FAILURE RECURRED AND THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN BACK TO THE DEALER WHO REPLACED THE FUEL PUMP MODULE. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURES AND STATED THAT THERE WERE NO RECALLS. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 35,653. *TR

WHILE DRIVING THROUGH THE CITY, THE VEHICLE SUDDENLY OVERHEATED, WITH LITTLE TO NO WARNING IT GAVE ME A OVER TEMPERATURE WARNING, WHICH PROMPTED ME TO PULL OVER AND TURN OFF THE VEHICLE. AFTER PARKING THE VEHICLE I NOTICES LARGE AMOUNTS OF COOLANT BEING SPEWED FROM THE PRESSURE RELIEF. AFTER REPLACING THE THERMOSTAT ON THE VEHICLE, IT CONTINUED TO LEAK COOLANT, ALTHOUGH IT WAS DIFFICULT TO IDENTIFY WHERE THE LEAK WAS. AFTER 3 WEEKS AND SOME TESTING, THE DEALERSHIP WAS ABLE TO FIND A LEAK IN THE WATER PUMP. HAD THE LEAK NOT BEEN FOUND, THERE COULD HAVE BEEN SERIOUS OVERHEATING ISSUES. BASED ON WHAT I SAW WITH HOW QUICKLY THE CAR OVERHEATED WITH AND AMBIENT OUTSIDE AIR TEMPERATURE OF ABOUT 68*F IT'S A WONDER NO FORD TAURUS' HAS STARTED ON FIRE.

WHILE DRIVING ON THE FREEWAY, THE STEERING WHEEL BEGAN TO SEIZED AND THE TRACTION CONTROL AND POWER STEERING INDICATORS ILLUMINATED.THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE AND PROVIDED NO SOLUTION OTHER THAN HAVING THE DEALER DIAGNOSE AND REPAIR THE VEHICLE. THE VIN WAS NOT AVAILABLE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 118690. RESEARCHED THE PROBLEM AND SAW THAT THERE HAD BEEN A RECALL REPORT BACK IN 2015 PERTAINING TO THE STEERING MODUAL FAILING.

ENGINE STOPPED RUNNING WITHOUT WARNING. WOULD THEN CRANK BUT NOT START. DIAGNOSED THE FUEL PUMP RELAY AS THE PROBLEM. REMOVED AND REPLACED AND CAR STARTED. REMOVED PART WAS ON RECALL LIST FOR DIFFERENT MODEL TAURUS AND THE FORD CARS BUT NOT MINE (2013 FORD TAURUS SEL). I RECEIVED NO RECALL NOTICE. FORD FUEL PUMP RELAY PART NUMBER AA8A-9D412-CA WITH SUPPLIER P/N D7790045-0C WAS OEM ON MY CAR. THIS PART IS LISTED AS FAULTY ON THE FORD WEB SITE BUT NOT FOR MY CAR MODEL AND I RECEIVED NO NOTICE.
