THE POWER STEERING STOPPED WORKING. GOT A WARNING ABOUT THE ISSUE AS I WAS DRIVING ON THE FREEWAY AND WARNING SAID TO PULL OVER SAFELY. ONCE I STOPPED AND SHUT OFF THE VEHICLE THE POWER STEERING STOPPED WORKING.
CAME TO A GAS STATION TO PUT IN GAS. THEN TURNED ON THE CAR AND THE POWER STEERING DIED AND GOT A WARNING ADVANCETRAC ISSUE. WAS NOT ABLE TO TURN THE STEERING WHEEL AND HAD IT TOWED.
AFTER FUELING UP, STARTED CAR(2014 TAURUS) TO LEAVE AND WAS UNABLE TO TURN STEERING WHEEL. INSTRUMENT CLUSTER PANEL STATED THERE WAS A POWER STEERING FAILURE AND SERVICE WAS REQUIRED. WAS ABLE TO DRIVE AWAY FROM PUMPS WITH NO STEERING TO PARK OUT OF THE WAY. AFTER 20 MINUTES AND RESTARTING THE CAR WAS ABLE TO CLEAR THE FAILURE MESSAGE BY CLICKING ON THE "OK" ACKNOWLEDGING THE FAILURE AND THE STEERING CAME BACK. NOT SURE IF IT WAS THE CLICKING ON THE "OK" THAT RELEASED THE STEERING OR NOT. DROVE THE CAR HOME AT GREAT RISK AND HAVE IT SCHEDULED FOR SERVICE ON WED 3/42020. FROM INVESTIGATING THE PROBLEM IT APPEARS FORD SHOULD BE FORCED TO DO A RECALL ON THIS MODEL AND THE PROBLEM, THEY DID FOR THE 2011, 2012 AND 2013 MODEL THEY NEED TO INCLUDE THE 2014. THE EXTENDED WARRANTY SHOULD COVER THIS BUT IT APPEARS TO CLEARLY BE A FORD DESIGN/ENGINEERING PROBLEM FORD SHOULD PAY FOR.
THE FUEL PUMP MODULE WENT OUT.

FOR THE PAST 3-4 MONTHS MY VEHICLE HAS A PROBLEM ON START UP (HOT AND COLD) PRESSING GAS AND ACCELERATION ON STREET, HIGHWAY, MERGING INTO TRAFFIC, ETC - CAR RUNS VERY ROUGH, SPUTTERS, HESITATES AND STALLS. EVENTUALLY, ON JANUARY 7, 2020 MY VEHICLE DID NOT START AT ALL. IT CRANKED BUT STILL WOULD NOT START. HAD BATTERY CHECKED (WHICH WAS STRONG AND FINE) AND HAD RECENT FULL TUNE-UP DONE WITHIN THE PAST 30 DAYS OF THIS COMPLAINT. HAD TAKEN MY VEHICLE TO THE DEALER FOR THIS SAME PROBLEM AT LEAST THREE(3) TIMES WITH NO RESULT EXCEPT TO PAY MONEY FOR THINGS THAT DID NOT NEED TO BE DONE.
WENT TO START VEHICLE AND THE VEHICLE'S FUEL PUMP DID NOT MAKE A SOUND. CHECKED THE FUSES TO THE FUEL PUMP AND THEY CHECKED OUT GOOD. TOOK A POWER PROBE TO THE FUEL PUMP AND FUEL PUMP WORKED. DISCOVERED IT WAS THE FUEL PUMP RELAY BEHIND REAR SEAT ON PASSENGER SIDE. REPLACED AND IT FIXED THE ISSUE.
WHILE VEHICLE WAS DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD IT SUDDENLY LOST POWER AND STOPPED. VEHICLE WAS ABLE TO BE PUSHED OFF OF THE ROADWAY AND FOUND TO HAVE A FAULTY FUEL PUMP MODULE.
BEFORE STARTING THE CAR/OR WHEN IN PARK. FROM APRIL 2017 UNTIL PRESENT WHEN I TRY TO PUT MY SEATBELT ON IT CATCHES GETS STUCK. IT HARD TO GET IT TO RELEASE ENOUGH TO FASTEN IT HAS BECOME AN ISSUE. I CAN DRIVE WITHOUT IT ON HAS THERE BEEN ANYMORE COMPLAINTS ABOUT THIS.
I HAVE PURCHASED 4 AFTERMARKET RIMS WITH 4 TIRES FROM A LOCAL TIRE DEALER IN MARCH 2018. I HAD A SLOW LEAK IN ONE TIRE AND IT WAS DIAGNOSED AS A CRACKED RIM. THAT WAS APPROX TWO WEEKS AGO. LAST SATURDAY NIGHT I HAD ANOTHER TIRE GO SOFT. ANOTHER RIM CRACKED. THE DEALER I PURCHASED THE RIMS FROM HAS PUT TWO NEW RIMS (SAME MANUFACTERER) I WENT ON THE FACEBOOK PAGE FOR THIS COMPNAY AND I SEE SEVERAL COMPLAINTS FROM OTHER CONSUMERS REGARDING CRACKED AND PARTIALLY SEPERATED SPOKES FROM THIS MANUFACTERER. I HAVE PICTURES AND VIDEO OF THE FAILURE, I BELIEVE AN INVESTIGATION IS WARRANTED BECAUSE THERE IS A POTENTIAL FOR A COMPLETE FAILURE OF THE WHEEL WHICH COULD CAUSE AN ACCIEDENT AND OR INJURY AND DEATH. THE MANUFACTURER IS TOUREN WHEELS 866-894-3351 1050 N. VINEYARD AVE ONTARIO,CA 91764
THE VEHICLE HAS STRUGGLED TO START AFTER REFUELING AT A GAS STATION WITH A HICCUPING TYPE FEELING, AS WELL AS BEING INCONSISTENT ON POWER UNDER ACCELERATION. SOMETIMES VERY SLOW WITH A SUDDEN PULL, SOMETIMES QUICK AND RESPONSIVE, IT VARIES A LOT BY DAY.
MY 2014 TAURUS LIMITED STARTED MAKING A POPPING NOISE WHEN TURNING, I HAD THE CV JOINT, TIE RODS, AND STRUTS REPLACED. THE CAR HASN'T BEEN DRIVEN OVER 50 MILES SINCE REPAIRS WERE DONE.. IT HAS NOT BEEN DRIVEN SINCE. I BACKED DOWN MY DRIVEWAY THEN THE STEERING IS MAKING A TERRIBLE NOISE AND LOOSES CONTROL DURING MID TURN. THIS IS AFTER I HAVE REPLACE THE CV JOINTS, TIE RODS AND THE STRUTS. NOW THE DEALERSHIP IS TELLING ME I NEED TO REPLACE THE RACK AND PINION. A COST $1700 AT 139,000 MILES. THIS IS VERY DANGEROUS AND IS A WELL KNOW ISSUES WITH FORD. WHY HASN'T A RECALL BE ANNOUNCED. THIS HAS MADE A LOYAL FORD OWNER DECIDE THIS WILL BE MY LAST FORD.
ON 31 OCTOBER 2019, I WAS BACKING MY CAR INTO MY GARAGE AND THE CAR STEERING LOCKED UP AND MADE IT DIFFICULT TO MOVE THE CAR. A WARNING MESSAGE APPEARED, AND I CALLED THE DEALER TO DESCRIBE THE PROBLEM (I.E. GAVE CAR WARNING AND COULD BARELY TURN WHEEL OF CAR). DEALER TOLD ME TO BRING THE CAR IN TO BE CHECKED. BECAUSE DEALER WAS CLOSE TO MY JOB, BUT FAR FROM MY HOME, I HAD CAR TOWED TO A LOCAL REPAIR SHOP. I WAS TOLD THAT THE RACK & PINION NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. I WAS TOLD A FEW 2013 CARS HAD THE SAME ISSUE, BUT NO WORK HAS BEEN DONE ON ANY OTHER 2014 FORDS. I WAS ALSO TOLD THERE ARE NO WARNING SIGNS FOR THE ISSUE OR ANY PREVENTATIVE MEASURES THAT CAN BE TAKEN. THE CAR HAD 97,653 MILES WHEN ISSUE OCCURRED. I PAID TO HAVE THE WORK COMPLETED SINCE NO RECALLS ARE CURRENTLY LISTED/ASSOCIATED WITH MY VIN AND THIS MECHANICAL STEERING ISSUE. I PAID A TOTAL OF 2,208.13 FOR THE REPAIRS RELATED TO THE ISSUE (REPLACEMENT OF PART, LABOR & RECALIBRATION OF THE PART).
WENT TO START CAR AGAIN AFTER DRIVING IT FOR 10MINUTES. WOULD NOT START. HIT THE START BUTTON AND NOTHING. THE ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON. I TRIED TO JUMP THE CAR, THINKING BATTERY. HOWEVER, NOTHING HAD TO GET A RIDE HOME AT 11PM IN THE RAIN AND TOWED IT INTO THE SHOP IN THE MORNING. STILL WAITING ON OUTCOME. FRAN K, OCALA FL
MY VEHICLE WILL INTERMITTENTLY SHUT OFF WHILE IN THE MIDDLE OF DRIVING, AND SOMETIMES WILL HESITATE TO EVEN CRANK. ALL FINGERS POINT TO THE FUEL CONTROL MODULE, WHICH I BELIEVE HAVE BEEN RECALLED AND THIS YEAR AND MODEL OF MY VEHICLE. THIS HAS HAPPENED ON A FEW OCCASIONS.
AROUND JULY 09, 2019 MY POWER STEERING WENT COMPLETELY OUT WHILE I WAS DRIVING. THIS WAS VERY SCARY AND DANGEROUS. I CONTACTED FORD AFTER READING SEVERAL REVIEWS OF THE SAME THING HAPPENING TO OTHER 2014 FORD TAURUS SEL. FORD STATED THAT WHILE THE RECALL APPLIES TO OTHER 2014 TAURUS SEL, IT DOES NOT APPLY TO MINE. I HAD TO PAY $2300 AT ROY OBRIEN FORD TO GET MY VEHICLE REPAIRED. FORD HAS REFUSED TO EXTEND THE RECALL TO INCLUDE MY VEHICLE IN THIS RECALL. I AM REQUESTING HELP FROM THE NSHP AND THE DOT TO HELP ME PLEASE. ON OCTOBER 17, 2019 MY CAR CUT OFF WHILE I WAS DRIVING AGAIN. THIS VERY DANGEROUS. IT WOULD NOT RESTART. MY VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO THE DEALER AGAIN AND I WAS ADVISED THAT MY FUEL PUMP WENT OUT. AGAIN, THERE IS A RECALL ON THE FUEL PUMP FOR 2013-2017 FORD TAURUS SEL BUT AGAIN ..MY VEHICLE IS NOT INCLUDED. I AM REQUESTING AN INVESTIGATION INTO THIS MATTTER IMMEDIATELY.

BROUGHT TO DEALER AND THEY REPLACED GEAR AND OTHER PARTS OF ASSEMBLY. COST FOR REPAIR, REPLACEMENT, AND ASSOCIATED REALIGNMENT WAS ~$1800 BUT WAS COVERED BY EXTENDED WARRANTY.

FIRST ISSUE: WHEN TRYING TO START MY CAR IT WOULD TURN OVER ABOUT 60 SECONDS AND THE INSIDE WOULD TURN ON SUCH AS DASH BUT ENGINE WOULD NOT START. STATIONARY SECOND ISSUE: TODAY 7/22/19 WHILE DRIVING DOWN THE INTERSTATE MY CAR JUST SHUT ITSELF OFF AS IF NOT GETTING ANY FUEL, COULD HAVE CAUSED A MAJOR ACCIDENT THANKFULLY IT WASNT RUSH HOUR. IN MOTION BEAUMONT TX - THEY SAID MY CAR DID NOT FALL UNDER THE RECALL BUT ITS DOING THE SAME THING AS WHAT THE RECALL STATES.
THIS IS ABOUT MY TRANSMISSION. IT IS DOING THE SAME GRINDING SOUNDS AS THE RECALLED FORD F150'S HOWEVER IT IS NOT ON THE RECALL LIST. MY CAR IS THE 2014 FORD TAURUS.
I WAS DRIVING AND ALL OF A SUDDEN THE CAR JUST DROPPED DOWN TO ABOUT 10 MILES PER HOUR. IT WOULDN'T ACCELERATE EVEN WHEN I PUSHED THE PEDAL TO THE FLOOR SO I JUST WENT BACK TO MY JOB TO PARK BEFORE I GOT TO THE MAIN ROAD WHERE THE RUSH HOUR TRAFFIC WAS.
TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2014 FORD TAURUS. WHILE ATTEMPTING TO START THE IGNITION, THE VEHICLE HESITATED AND FAILED TO START.

MY CAR SPUTTERED OUT THEN STOPPED IN THE MIDDLE OF THE HIGHWAY
SOMETIME IN MARCH 2019 MY CAR DIDNT WANT TO START.IT HAD BEEN PARKED OVER NIGHT AT MY HOUSE. I TRIED TO START IT AND IT JUST KEPT TURNING OVER BUT NO START. I CALLED THE DEALERSHIP AND THEY HAD IT TOWED TO THE DEALER. I WAS ADVISED THAT IT WAS THE BATTERY. I WAS CHARGED ABOUT $185 TO BUY ANOTHER BATTERY. THE CAR WAS WORKING FINE UNTIL MAY 2, 2019 IT WAS PARKED AT MY PLACE OF EMPLOYMENT AND HAD TO LEAVE IT THERE OVER NIGHT AND HAVE IT TOWED THE NEXT MORNING TO THE DEALERSHIP. THE WANTED TO CHARGE ME $400 TO GET IT REPLACED. MY ARGUEMENT IS I COULD OF SAVED $185 ON A BATTERY THAT DIDNT NEED REPLACING AND 2 MONTHS LATER THEY WANTED ME TO DITCH OUT MORE MONEY. I HAD TO ARGUEMENT WITH THEM FOR SEVERAL HOURS. TILL THE MANAGER SAID THAT THEY WILL TAKE CARE OF THE COST. BUT IT SHOULDNT HAD LEAD TO THAT. I KNOW SEVERAL FORD TAURUS HAVE BEEN RECALLED BUT NOT MY VIN NUMBER. I DONT UNDERSTAND WHY WHEN THEY ARE ALL FORDS TAURUS 2014 AND THEY ARE HAVING THE SAME PROBLEM. I WOULDNT OF SPEND $185 ON MONEY I DONT HAVE TO SPEND.
INCREASING DIFFICULTY STEERING CAR/LOSS OF POWER STEERING. STEERING WHEEL DOES NOT RETURN TO CENTER WHEN TURNING. MAJOR REPAIR COST. KNOW PROBLEM WITH 2011-2013 CARS BEING RECALLED, BUT NOT THE 2014 TAURUS WHICH ALSO HAS RECORDED COMPLAINTS ABOUT LOSS OF POWER STEERING THE MODEL. PROGRESSIVELY WORSE SINCE JANUARY/FEBRUARY.
THE POWER STEERING GOES OUT INTERMITTENTLY, IT SEEMS TO BE RECCURING PROBLEM, AS SOMETIMES IT WORKS AND OTHER TIMES IT DOESN'T. ITS VERY UNPREDICTABLE AND DANGEROUS
THE POWER STEERING ON THIS VEHICLE BEGAN TO WORK INTERMITTENTLY. THE POWER STEERING WOULD SHUT OFF WHILE DRIVING THE VEHICLE AS WELL AS WHEN IT WAS PARKED. BECAUSE OF THE IMPENDING DANGER OF LOSING POWER STEERING AT A HIGH RATE OF SPEED, I BROUGHT IT TO A FORD DEALERSHIP IN MA . THEY DIAGNOSED THE PROBLEM AS "NEEDS EPAS GEAR REPLACED". TOTAL COST WAS $1,822.00. MUST ISSUE A RECALL DUE TO SAFETY ISSUES WITH MALFUNCTIONING EPAS GEAR. THE 3 PRIOR YEARS' MODELS HAD A RECALL. WHY NOT THIS YEAR'S MODEL? DONT WAIT FOR INJURY OR DEATH.
I ATTEMPTED TO START MY VEHICLE IN MY GARAGE. MOTOR WOULD CRANK BUT NOT START. I KNEW IT WAS A FUEL ISSUE, SO I GOOGLED THE PROBLEM. I CAME ACROSS AN ISSUE WITH THE FUEL PUMP RELAY ON 2013-2015 TAURUS, FLEX, AND INTECEPTORS. MOSTLY RELATED TO LAW ENFORCEMENT VEHICLES AND CIVILIAN SUPER CHARGED ENGINES THAT HAD A RECALL FOR THIS FUEL PUMP RELAY MODULAR. MY TAURUS IS ONLY A SEL, AND I SAW WHERE MANY OTHER PEOPLE WERE HAVING THE SAME ISSUE WITH THEIR EVERYDAY 2013-2015 FORD VEHICLE. THESE PEOPLE REPLACED THEIR OWN FUEL PUMP RELAY MODULE AND FIXED THEIR PROBLEM. I DECIDED TO TRY IT MYSELF. SURE ENOUGH; I, A SINGLE MOM ON A VERY FIXED INCOME, GETS A RIDE TO MY LOCAL AUTO PARTS STORE, BUYS THE FUEL PUMP RELAY MODULE FOR $75.00, INSTALL THE PART MYSELF, AND IT WORKED LIKE A CHARM! THERE NEEDS TO BE A RECALL ON ALL OF THESE 2013-2015 FORD TAURUS'S SO PEOPLE LIKE MYSELF AND THE OTHER FEW I CAME ACROSS ONLINE CAN GET OUR MONEY BACK, AND PREVENT OTHERS FROM HAVING TO GO THROUGH THE PANIC OF HAVING ONLY ONE VEHICLE (THAT SHOULD BE VERY DEPENDABLE) THAT WON'T START. I CALLED FORD AND THEY TOLD ME THEY WOULD NOT ISSUE ANY RECALL, THE RECALL HAD TO COME FROM NHTSA. I AM TRULY HOPING THAT SOMEONE AT THE NHTSA WILL ADDRESS THIS ISSUE ASAP.

VIBRATION AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS IN FRONT END
MY HUSBAND WAS DRIVING HOME AFTER A NIGHT OF OUT WITH FRIENDS, AND THE POWER STEERING WENT OUT AS WE WERE GOING UP A SNOWY HILL IN TOWN. HE SLID FROM ONE SIDE OF THE ROAD TO THE OTHER. AFTER MAKING IT UP THE HILL, HE STOPPED AND PREPPED TO DRIVE THE REST OF THE WAY HOME WITH NO STEERING. WE ARE LUCKY TO LIVE IN A SMALLER AREA WITH VERY LITTLE TRAFFIC ON THE STREET WE TAKE HOME AND I AM THANKFUL HE DECIDED TO COME WITH ME THAT NIGHT AS I PROBABLY WOULD HAVE ENDED UP IN A TREE.
POWER STEERING PROBLEMS WITH HARD TURNING WHEN STARTING AND LEAVING PARKING SPOT, ESPECIALLY WHEN COLD. MECHANIC CHECKED AND SAID IT MIGHT BE STEERING SHAFT, A $600 REPAIR.

What carries weight is repetition: the same component failing the same way across many filings, and whether the manufacturer eventually opened a recall for it.
