2014 Ford Taurus complaints

Pulling into my personal parking space I applied brake to slow down and come to a complete stop. Car accelerated to an uncontrollable speed, jumped the curb and continued flying whe I constantly applied brakes (approximately 40 yrds) missing the 100 yr old oaks and palm trees. This occurred beginning of July 2022. Happened again 1 week ago as I was pulling into parking space directly behind a parked car. As I approached parking space with my break slowing me down to enter spot the car accelerated as above. Thin time I was able to swerve left to avoid slamming into the car in the parking space which was in front of me. Thank God there were no cars at that the on the road.

On the 24th February, 2022, I was driving my 2014 Ford Taurus taxi cab on the highway to go pick up a client. I saw a dash light indicating slippery road and suddenly, I could not control the steering of the car. All attempts to control the steering proved futile, and the car kept swerving on both sides, till it hit the divider between the roads. This is the second time that this incident is happening to me. The first incident resulted to a minor damage, and the car was taken to the shop for fix. With the second incident from last month, this resulted to my car being totaled. I am lucky and grateful to be alive. I spoke to my son and learned that there was a recall on the 2014 Ford Taurus. Below is an excerpt regarding the recall that was responsible for my car being damaged; Summary Feb 10,2020 Manufacturer Recall Number20S04 NHTSA Recall Number20V072 Recall StatusRecall Incomplete VEHICLES THAT ARE EXPOSED TO FREQUENT FULL REAR SUSPENSION ARTICULATION (JOUNCE AND REBOUND) MAY EXPERIENCE A FRACTURED REAR SUSPENSION TOE LINK. Safety Risk A FRACTURE OF A REAR TOE LINK SIGNIFICANTLY DIMINISHES STEERING CONTROL, INCREASING THE RISK OF A CRASH. Link for reference: https://www.nhtsa.gov/recalls?vin=[XXX]#vin Due to this crash, I have lost my means of livelihood. I've contacted Ford and was sent back to the insurance. I have contacted C INFORMATION Redacted PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6).

PTU went bad with just 93000 miles on vehicle for $1500 repair. Initially sounded like tin cans crunching in front in.

Rack and pinion or steering gear which are the same but can be called 2 different things. For no reason the power steering failed with a message to contact the dealer immediately as this could cause a serious accident resulting in injury or death. As far as putting someone or myself at risk it's pretty obvious if you can't steer the car, you are putting anyone on the road at risk. If it would fail when taking an exit ramp from a highway the automobile would be virtually impossible to steer. The internet has many cases where people have complained about this failure. It has been inspected at an authorized Ford dealership and was advised the repair would cost in the area of $3,000.00. This automobile has just over 52,000 miles, (brand new it listed for $36,500.00 but apparently this failure has been reported at many different mileages resulting in some accidents. The failure first occurred January 10, 2022. Fortunately, the failure occurred while my wife was in the driveway, so we were fortunate. That being said, my wife and I, both senior citizens bringing in a total of $2,300.00 social security so a $3,000.00 repair is just not in our budget. If it wasn't for the movie Class Action, I wouldn't know what I realize. Somewhere there's a bean counter telling them that the cost of a recall would be more expensive then settling lawsuits arising from accidents After that I got on the internet to see if I was the only one this had happened to and found there have been quite a few ins

HVAC SYSTEM has malfunctioned. The system turns on but no fan motor, Heat, A/C, or defroster. Fogged windows have caused dangerous driving conditions An independent Service Center has confirmed this problem All other information is unknown

Fuel fill inlet Holding pressure in tank. Not allowing to fill car with gas Pressure build up in the tank considered a fire safety hazard

The exact situation which is listed on this Ford recall has affected my Taurus. However, this issue is not connected with my VIN even though my window sticker says it was assembled in Chicago. The car would start and then stop, it would not start back up, or it would do a combination. It wasn't the same every time. The dealer I had work on my car replaced the fuel pump driver module and informed me about the recall but I was never able to get in touch with Ford. I have recently been able to connect with Ford and they said it wasn't associated with my VIN and there was nothing they could do or submit to try for reimbursement since it's been over 90 days from when the work was performed.

The contact owns a 2014 Ford Taurus. The contact stated that upon making a right turn into his driveway at 5 MPH, the power steering assist failed as the contact hit a bump in the driveway. Upon restart of the vehicle, the "power steering assist fault, service required" and the "service advance track" warning messages appeared on the instrument panel. The dealer had been notified of the failure and informed the contact that there were no recalls on the vehicle. The manufacturer had yet to be notified of the failure. The vehicle had yet to be repaired. The failure mileage was 77,000.

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..

THE WATER PUMP ONE OUT AND HAD HAD TO REPLACE IT AND THE GASKETS THEN THE LOW OIL PUMP LIGHT CAME ON POSSIBLY HAVE TO REPLACE THE MOTOR OR OIL PUMP

THE WATER PUMP ON OUT HOW TO REPLACE IT THEN AFTER THE CAR GOT FIXED THE LOW OIL PRESSURE LIGHT CAME ON THEN MIGHT HAVE TO REPLACE THE ENGINE IF IT'S NOT THE OIL PUMP 145,000 MILES ON IT

CATALYTIC CONVERTER BOTH OF THEM ONE OUT ON MY CAR LESS THAN 145,000 MILES

BACK UP CAMERA GLITCHES EITHER UPSIDE DOWN, ALL BLACK, OR BLUE. SAYING VISIT DEALERSHIP. THIS EFFECT THE SENSORS WHEN BACKING UP. MULTIPLE PEOPLE HAVE THIS PROBLEM WITH THE 6TH GENERATION FORD TAURUS. WHEN YOU GO TO THE DEALERSHIP THEY TELL YOU IT'S A $250 PART WITH A ADDITIONAL $50 LABOR. FORD KNOWS THIS IS A PROBLEM, I PERSONALLY THINK IT SHOULD BE RECALLED.

THE FUEL PUMP CONTROL MODULE IS FAILING, WHICH IS CAUSING THE ENGINE TO NOT START AND OR KEEPS STALLING WHEN TURNING THE KEY. MY MECHANIC GAVE ME THE RECALL AND DIRECTED ME TO MY NEAREST FORD DEALERSHIP, BUT WHEN GIVEN THE VIN NUMBER THEY SAID THERE IS 0 RECALLS ON MY VEHICLE. THEREFOR THIS RECALL IS VIN SPECIFIC AND WILL NOT COVER MY REPAIRS. THE MECHANIC DID AGREE THIS IS A PROBLEM WITH THE MAKE AND MODEL BUT NOT SPECIFIC TO MY VEHICLE. UPSETTING AND CONFUSED WHY MY VEHICLE IS NOT INCLUDED IN THIS RECALL.

MY FUEL PUMP WENT BAD. MY VEHICLE IS NO LONGER OPERATING AND I THINK THAT THE FUEL PUMP FOR MY SPECIFIC VEHICLE NEEDS TO BE INVESTIGATED FOR A RECALL. NHTSA CAMPAIGN ID: 16V621000 REPORT DATE: AUGUST 25, 2016 VEHICLES AFFECTED: 77,502 CONSEQUENCE: 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 WHAT YOU SHOULD DO: FORD WILL NOTIFY OWNERS, AND DEALERS WILL INSPECT THE FUEL PEM PART NUMBER AND REPLACE THE FUEL PEM, AS NECESSARY, FREE OF CHARGE. THE RECALL BEGAN ON DECEMBER 1, 2016. OWNERS MAY CONTACT FORD CUSTOMER SERVICE AT 1-866-436-7332. FORD'S NUMBER FOR THIS RECALL IS 16S31. SUMMARY: FORD MOTOR COMPANY (FORD) IS RECALLING CERTAIN MODEL YEAR 2013-2015 FORD TAURUS, FORD FLEX, LINCOLN MKS AND LINCOLN MKT VEHICLES EQUIPPED WITH 3.5L GTDI ECOBOOST ENGINES AND 2013-2015 FORD TAURUS POLICE INTERCEPTOR VEHICLES. A COMPONENT WITHIN THE FUEL PUMP ELECTRIC MODULE (PEM) MAY OVERHEAT CAUSING A LOSS OF ELECTRICAL POWER TO THE FUEL PUMP.

VEHICLE STALLED WHILE DRIVING, UNABLE TO RESTART. DUE TO LOSS OF POWER, LOST THE ABILITY TO BRAKE AND STEER EASILY. I WAS ON A CITY STREET AND ENTERING AN INTERSECTION WHEN I LOST POWER. THERE IS AN EXISTING SAFETY RECALL NOTICE: 16S31 FOR 2013-2015 FORD TAURUS MADE IN CHICAGO WHICH MY VEHICLE WAS. MY DEALER IS ADVISING THAT MY VIN IS NOT PART OF THAT CAMPAIGN THOUGH ALL ITEMS FITS THE RECALL. MY CAR IS A TAURUS, IT IS A 2014, IT WAS MADE IN CHICAGO AND THE PART FAILED WHILE DRIVING WHICH COULD HAVE RESULTED IN A CRASH.

WAS PULLING UP TO A STOPLIGHT IN TOWN, THE IN DASH LIT UP WITH "ELECTRIC STEERING ASSIST FAIL" AND MY STEERING WHEEL STIFFENED UP AS IF I LOST POWER STEERING, I STOPPED, CYCLED THE KEY AND THE POWER STEERING RETURNED. THERE WAS NO PRIOR WARNING OR IN DASH LIGHTS TO THIS INCIDENT. A WEEK WENT BY WITH NO INCIDENT OR SIGN OF TROUBLE. WAS REVERSING OUT OF A PARKING SPOT 7 DAYS LATER AND THE SAME PROBLEM OCCURRED. I CYCLED THE KEY AGAIN, AND THE PROBLEM WENT AWAY. I JUST LEFT THE FORD SERVICE CENTER AND AND THEY PULLED THE CODE C200D:49. SINCE THE LATEST INCIDENT, THERE HAS BEEN NO PROBLEM. I DECLINED THE REPAIRS AS THEY WERE $2200 AND I KNOW FORD HAS RECALLED PREVIOUS YEARS OF MY VEHICLE FOR THE SAME EXACT PROBLEM.

CAR WOULD NOT START. AFTER TWO SEPARATE TOWS TO DEALERSHIP, FUEL PUMP DRIVER MODULE WAS FOUND TO BE FAULTY AND WAS REPLACED. THIS PART WAS RECALLED ON OTHER 2014 TAURUS' IN RELATION TO 16V62100.

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.

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.
