2015 Ford Taurus complaints

I WAS DRIVING TO BURLINGTON MA ON AUGUST 29, 2019 AND, WHILE MAKING A RIGHT TURN TO ENTER ONTO RTE 3 NORTHBOUND, I LOST ALL MY POWER STEERING. AT THE MOMENT OF FAILURE, THE STEERING WHEEL SNAPPED ABRUPTLY TO THE LEFT ALMOST CAUSING ME TO HIT THE GUARD RAIL. FORTUNATELY, I WAS ABLE TO WRESTLE/TURN THE STEERING WHEEL TO THE RIGHT AND AVOID AN ACCIDENT. I HAD NO POWER STEERING ALL THE WAY HOME. WHEN I WRESTLED THE CAR INTO MY DRIVEWAY AT HOME, I SHUT IT OFF, WAITED A MINUTE AND RESTARTED THE CAR. THE DASH IDIOT LIGHT WAS OFF AND THE POWER STEERING WAS WORKING. I HAVE NOT USED AND DON'T PLAN ON USING THE CAR UNTIL THIS PROBLEM IS FIXED. I MADE AN APPOINTMENT TO HAVE THIS PROBLEM DIAGNOSED AND REPAIRED ON SEPTEMBER 9, 2019. I BELIEVE THE CAUSE OF THE CATASTROPHIC FAILURE IS RELATED TO THE SENSORS ON THE STEERING WHEEL COLUMN THAT COMMUNICATE WITH THE COMPUTER WHICH CONTROLS THE ELECTRIC RACK AND PINION SYSTEM.

2015 FORD TAURUS UNDER 93,000 WATER PUMP FAILURE. NO WARNINGS WHILE DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY. STARTED TO OVER HEAT AND COOLANT WAS PORING OUT UNDERNEATH. HAD IT TOWED TO A FORD DEALERSHIP AND WAS TOLD THE WATER PUMP NEEDS REPLACED. OVER $2000 DOLLARS FOR THIS FIX. THE WATER PUMP SHOULD LAST UNTIL 150,000. FORD KNEW IT WAS AN ISSUE AND NEEDS TO STEP UP AND FIX IT. CURRENTLY STILL IN GARAGE TRYING TO FIGURE OUT WHAT I'M GOING TO DO.

THE STEERING ON MY 2015 FORD TAURUS FLASHES A MESSAGE TO HAVE THE STEERING SERVICED. SHORTLY, FOLLOWING THIS WHEN I BEGIN TO MAKE A TURN...ANOTHER MESSAGE POPS UP AND THE POWER STEERING DISENGAGES, MAKING IT VIRTUALLY IMPOSSIBLE TO CONTROL THE CAR.

THE STEERING ON OUR 2015 FORD TAURUS HAS BEEN DISENGAGING WHILE THE CAR IS BEING DRIVEN. FIRST WE GET A MESSAGE THAT THE STEERING NEEDS TO BE SERVICED. NEXT, ANOTHER MESSAGE FLASHED, THE CAR JERKS AND THE POWER STEERING DISENGAGES MAKING IT EXTREMELY DIFFICULT TO CONTROL THE CAR.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2015 FORD TAURUS. WHILE DRIVING 5 MPH AND MAKING A TURN, THE VEHICLE STALLED AND THE OIL CHANGE MESSAGE WAS DISPLAYED. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO AN INDEPENDENT LOT AND THE TOW TRUCK DRIVER STATED THAT THE FUEL PUMP WAS INOPERABLE. THE CONTACT CALLED ACADEMY FORD (13401 BALTIMORE AVE, LAUREL, MD 20707, (800) 658-7794) AND INFORMED THEM OF THE FAILURE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS CONTACTED AND REFERRED THE CONTACT TO THE LOCAL DEALER. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 80,000.

MY 2015 FORD TAURUS WAS OPERATING UNDER NORMAL CONDITIONS WHEN TWO WARNINGS APPEARED ON THE DASH. ONE FOR A STEERING ASSIST FAULT AND ONE FOR AN ADVANCETRAC SERVICE BEING REQUIRED. I WAS DRIVING ON A COUNTRY ROAD AS THIS OCCURRED AND APPROACHING A SHARP CURVE. AS THESE LIGHTS ILLUMINATED THE POWER STEERING WAS LOST WHILE OPERATING AT SPEEDS ABOUT 60 MPH. LUCKILY I WAS ABLE TO SAFELY BRING THE VEHICLE TO A STOP. WHEN I WENT TO THE FORD DEALER TODAY THEY ADVISED THAT THAT THIS IS A COMMON ISSUE WITH FORDS ELECTRONIC POWER STEERING SYSTEMS AND THAT EXTENDED COVERAGES ARE AVAILABLE ON SOME MODELS TO REPLACE THE FAULTY ITEMS HOWEVER THE 2015 TAURUS IS NOT COVERED. I WORK IN LAW ENFORCEMENT SO I AM A WELL TRAINED DRIVER AND IT IS BECAUSE OF SAID TRAINING THAT I WAS ABLE TO AVOID A COLLISION WHEN THIS SYSTEM FAILED HOWEVER IT IS EXTREMELY DANGEROUS AND I WOULD BE FEARFUL THAT THIS COULD HAPPEN TO A LESS TRAINED DRIVER AND HAVE CATASTROPHIC RESULTS.

I WAS DRIVING AT HIGHWAY SPEED WHEN MY ENGINE DIED AND THE WRENCH LIGHT CAME ON. THE CAR STALLED VERY RAPIDLY. LUCKILY I WAS ABLE TO MAKE IT TO THE SHOULDER BEFORE AN ONCOMING TRAFFIC COULD COLLIDE WITH ME. AFTER RESTARTING MY CAR, I WAS ABLE TO DRIVE HOME WITHOUT FURTHER INCIDENT. THIS PROBLEM HAS HAPPENED MULTIPLE TIMES SINCE. I CHECKED AND MY MODEL IS NOT ELIGIBLE FOR RECALL 16V621000. I DON'T UNDERSTAND WHY FORD IS NOT RECALLING ALL TAURUS OF THIS YEAR RANGE AS THE PROBLEM DOES NOT SEEM ISOLATED TO JUST THE ECOBOOST ENGINES. THERE ARE MANY PEOPLE REPORTING THE SAME ISSUE WITH NON-ECOBOOST ENGINES. THIS IS NOT RIGHT TO GAMBLE WITH PEOPLE'S SAFETY. I WOULD REALLY HOPE THAT THE NHTSA TAKES THIS SERIOUSLY.

SO MY 2015 FORD TAURUS AND I WAS COMING TO A STOP AT A STOP LIGHT STEERING STARTED TO FEEL KIND OF TIGHT. ALMOST IS JUST ON AN OLDER CAR MY POWER STEERING FLUID MAKE IT BE GETTING A LITTLE LOW I CONTINUE GOING ABOUT MY TRIP THINKING THAT MUCH OF IT WHEN I GOT TO MY DESTINATION I CHECKED TO SEE IF THERE WAS A POWER STEERING RESERVOIR TO SEE IF THE POWER STEERING FLUID IS LOW TO FIND OUT THAT THE FORD TAURUS IS AN ALL ELECTRICAL POWER ASSIST SYSTEM. I LIVE IN UPSTATE NEW YORK AND THE WEATHER HAS BEEN PRETTY COLD OUT SO I THOUGHT MAYBE THERE WAS A ICE BUILD-UP UNDERNEATH THE VEHICLE I'LL HAVE SINCE WASHED THE BOTTOM OF THE CAR OUT AND THE WEATHER IS NOW IN THE 50 AND I'M STILL IN GETTING THE NUMB TIGHT FEELING IN THE STEERING IT'S ALMOST AS IF HEADING INTO A TURN PERIODICALLY AT ANY SPEED THE STEERING JUST SEEMS TO GET TIGHTER AS IF IT'S GOING TO LOCK UP I TRAVEL ABOUT 51 MILES TO WORK A DAY SO I CAN NOTICE A DIFFERENCE OFF AND ON THROUGHOUT THE TRIP

WAS DRIVING ON THE INTERSTATE THEN THE STEERING WHEEL LOCKED UP SAYING STEERING LOSS STOP SAFELY THE WHEEL COULDN'T TURN NO EARRING NO NOTHING ALMOST GOT RAN OVER BY A SEMI TRUCK

AS MY WIFE DROVE HER 2015 FORD TAURUS DOWN HIGHWAY 395 THE CAR SUDDENLY CUT OFF WITHOUT ANY WARNING. LUCKILY WE HAD ENOUGH ROOM BEHIND US BEFORE THE BIG RIG FOLLOWING BEHIND COULD AVOID US AS WE PULLED OUT OF THE WAY. TOOK THE CAR TO FORD VIA AAA. THEY INFORMED ME IT WAS A FUEL MODULE RELAY. THIS WAS A MASS RECALL SITUATION FOR FORD. COINCIDENTALLY MY VIN WAS NOT ON THE RECALL LIST FOR A WIDELY KNOWN PROBLEM. NOW I'M FORCED TO PAY FOR REPAIRS. I REQUEST THAT ALL CARS MADE FROM 2013 TO THE END OF 2015 OR NEWER BE PLACED ON THE RECALL LIST. LUCKILY IT DIDN'T RESULT IN A HORRIFIC ACCIDENT.

TL* THE CONTACT LEASES A 2015 FORD TAURUS. WITHIN LESS THAN A MONTH AFTER THE VEHICLE WAS SERVICED PER NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 16V621000 (FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE) BY SHAMALEY FORD (11301 GATEWAY BLVD W, EL PASO, TX 79936, (915) 591-8600), IT STALLED WITHOUT WARNING. THE SAME DEALER AND THE MANUFACTURER WERE NOTIFIED AND PLANNED TO CONDUCT MORE DIAGNOSTIC TESTING. A CASE NUMBER WAS PROVIDED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 16,823.

VEHICLE STALLED MULTIPLE TIMES AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS ON BUSY INTERSTATE. AFTER A FEW START/STALL CYCLES, MOTOR WOULD NOT START AT ALL. FULL FUEL TANK, WELL MAINTAINED VEHICLE, WITH ONLY ABOUT 42K MILES AND NO DAMAGE HISTORY. NEEDED TO PUSH OFF ROADWAY, VERY HAZARDOUS SITUATION. TOWED TO GARAGE, CURRENTLY AWAITING DIAGNOSIS.

'TAKATA RECALL' NOT UNDERSTANDING WHY THE FUEL CONTOL MODULE IS NOT RECALLED FOR MY CAR BEING I AM HAVING TO PAY TO GET IT CHANGED OUT MYSELF. DROVE IT ALL DAY, STOPPED A FEW TIMES. BY 10:00 AT NIGHT IN A WALMART PARKING LOT WITH MY FAMILY MY CAR WON'T START. I HAVE TO GET IT TOWED FOR THE THIRD TIME OF ME HAVING THIS CAR. FIRST TIME I PUT IT IN THE SHOP AT A FORD DEALERSHIP THEY CHANGED A FUSE AND BATTERY SECOND TIME I PUT IT IN THE SHOP THEY CHANGE PUMP AND BODY CONTOL MOD. NOW THE THIRD TIME I HAVE THE SAME ISSUE WITH THIS CAR DOING THE SAME THING *CRANKING WITH NO TURN OVER* I GET TOLD IT'S A FUEL CONTOL MOD. YOU SHOULD HAVE THE RECALL ACROSS THE BOARD FOR THESE CARS. INSTEAD OF THE OWNERS HAVING TO SPEND 500 TO REPLACE IT BY THE DEALERSHIP.

DRIVING ON INTERSTATE AND WARNING LIGHT CAME ON DASH SAYING POWER STEERING ASSIST FAILURE. POWER STEERING IMMEDIATELY QUIT WORKING AT SPEED OF 70MPH DURING A LAND CHANGE AND ALMOST LEAD TO A CRASH. NO PRIOR EARRING THIS SYSTEM WOULD FAIL. NOT SAFE

WHEN I WAS DRIVING IN THE HIGHWAY THE CAR JUST SUDDENLY STARTS TO SLOW DOWN AND STALLS, I TRY TO HIT THE GAS, BUT NOTHING HAPPENS WITH THE CAR, IT JUST CONTINUES TO SLOW DOWN UNTIL IT DOES NOT MOVE ANYMORE. I HAVE TO QUICKLY GET OUT OF THE HIGHWAY AND GET TO THE MEDIAN BECAUSE OF THE FEAR OF GETTING HIT. THIS IS EXTREMELY DANGEROUS WHEN I AM ON THE ROAD AS SUDDENLY STOPPING CAN CAUSE A CAR TO HIT ME FROM BEHIND.

DRIVING ON HIGHWAY SUDDEN SURGE OF RPM THEN LOSS OF ALL POWER. CAR WENT INTO LIMP MODE. DISPLAYED WRENCH WARNING LIGHT AND SEE OWNERS MANUAL WHICH INDICATES POWER TRAIN/LOSS OF POWER. DEALER SAID CODE WAS READING THROTTLE BODY. BELIEVE THEY NEED TO INVESTIGATE FURTHER

WHILE DRIVING THE CAR AND LOW OR HIGH SPEEDS IT WILL STALL IN THE MIDDLE OF DRIVING IT. NO ENGINE LIGHTS WILL BE ON OR ANY TYPE OF WARNING. ONCE IT STALLS AND THE VEHICLE IS TURNED OFF AND THEN TURNED BACK ON IT WILL WORK FINE UNTIL IT WILL DO IT AGAIN. WITH THE RECALLS OF SOME OF THESE MODELS I LOOKED UP THE VIN NUMBER AND THERE IS NO RECALL HOWEVER IT SEEMS BASED ON RESEARCH WE ARE HAVING THE SAME PROBLEM AS OTHER FORDS WERE HAVING WITH THE FUEL SYSTEM.

ON A NUMBER OF OCCASIONS IN THE PAST 30 DAYS MY 2015 TAURUS HAS HAS A LOSS OF POWER TO THE STEERING SYSTEM WHICH MAKES IT DIFFICULT TO DRIVE IT HAPPENS AT LOW AND HIGH SPEEDS IT HAPPENED AT MY SONS GRADUATION IN A PARKING LOT FULL OF STUDENTS AND PARENTS AND COULD NOT STEER THE CAR IT ALSO HAPPENED ON A MAIN ROAD TRAVELING IN MY LANE AROUND A HARD TURN IN ROAD AND THE STEERING FAILED I STOPPED THE CAR ON THE SHOULDER BY SLAMMING ON THE BRAKES THANK GOD NO ONE WAS BEHIND ME AND IT HAPPENED AT THE GROCERY STORE TURNING INTO A PARKING SPOT ON 2 OCCASIONS THE WAY TO MAKE IT WORK AGAIN IS IF YOU TURN OFF CAR AND RESTART IT AND IT'S FINE TILL THE NEXT TIME A LIGHT COMES ON ON THE DASH THAT READS POWER STEERING SYSTEM FAILURE I CONTACTED FORD ABOUT THE PROBLEM AND I WAS TOLD THAT IT WASN'T COVERED UNDER WARRANTY AND THERE WAS NO RECALLS IN AND THAT IT NEEDED A NEW STEERING GEAR AND RACK AND IT WOULD COST ME 1500$ TO DO THE JOB I HAVE LOOKED INTO ANY RECALLS ONLINE AND THEY DID HAVE A RECALL ON A THE POWER STEERING ASSSIST ON EARLIER MODELS OF THE TAURUS 2012-2013 SO MAKES ME THINK THAT THEY KNOW THERE IS A PROBLEM AND WON'T ISSUE A RECALL ARE THEY WAITING FOR SOMEONE TO GET HURT OR POSSIBLY KILLED AS I SAID PREVIOUSLY THE POWER STEERING FAILS AT ALL SPEEDS AND GIVES NO INDICATION THAT IT IS ABOUT TO HAPPEN SOMETHING SHOULD BE DONE THANK YOU

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2015 FORD TAURUS. UPON ATTEMPTING TO START THE VEHICLE, IT FAILED TO START. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO THE CONTACT'S RESIDENCE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE FAILURE OCCURRED TWICE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT TAKEN TO A DEALER OR AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC FOR DIAGNOSTIC TESTING OR REPAIRS. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURES AND REFERRED THE CONTACT TO NHTSA. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 80,100. *TT

WINDSHIELD WASHER FLUID PUMP FAILURE AFTER 30K MILES ON THE VEHICLE. BEGAN BEING INTERMITTENT AFTER 20K MILES. REPLACED PUMP AND REMOVED PROTECTIVE COVER TO FIND CORRODED MOTOR WINDINGS. FAILIRE APPEARS TO BE CAUSED BY AN INTERNAL LEAK WITH IN THE PUMP ALLOWING THE WASHER FLUID TO ENTER THE ELECTRIC MOTOR PORTION OF THE PUMP. THIS IS A PARTICULAR HAZARD DURING THE WINTER MONTHS IF YOU CANNOT CLEAN SALT, DIRT AND OTHER DEBRIS OFF YOUR WINDSHIELD ,. PARTICULARLY DURING SUNNY DAYS.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2015 FORD TAURUS. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE WINDSHIELD WASHER FLUID PUMP FAILED TO FUNCTION. THE ELECTRICAL LINING AT THE TOP OF THE PUMP WAS RUSTED. THE PART WAS REPLACED BY THE CONTACT. THE DEALER WAS NOT CONTACTED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 30,000.

SERVICE ENGINE SOON INDICATOR CAME ON. LATER, THE CAR STALLED ON THE HIGHWAY, ALMOST CAUSING AN ACCIDENT. DEALER COULD NOT PROVIDE AN ANSWER TO WHY THIS HAPPENED. UPON INVESTIGATING THIS ISSUE MYSELF, I FOUND SAFETY RECALL 16S31 WHICH DESCRIBED THE EXACT SYMPTOMS EXPERIENCED WITH MY CAR. MY CAR WAS MANUFACTURED AT THE FORD CHICAGO PLANT DURING THE DESIGNATED TIME PERIOD OF THE RECALL, YET MY VIN # WAS NOT PART OF THE RECALL. FORD DEALER AGREED THAT THE REASON FOR THE RECALL COULD HAVE BEEN THE CAUSE OF MY CAR SHUTTING DOWN ON THE HIGHWAY. THIS SITUATION IS TOO POTENTIALLY DANGEROUS IF IT OCCURS AGAIN. I CONTACTED FORD, THEY WOULD NOT ACCEPT FAULT AND TOLD ME THEY WOULD REPORT THE INCIDENT TO NHTSA, CASE# [XXX]. *TT INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6). *TR

CAR STALLED WHILE GOING 50 MPH, LIGHTS INSIDE WORKED FINE, NOTICE ALERTED ME ON THE DASH THAT CAR WAS NOT IN PARK. I WAS UNABLE TO ACCELERATE, PULLED TO A STOP ON THE SIDE OF THE ROAD AND PUT THE CAR IN PARK AND TURNED THE VEHICLE OFF. RESTARTED AND IT RESTARTED JUST FINE. I NOTICED THERE WERE RECALLS ON THE 2015 FORD TAURUS THAT WERE MADE IN THE CHICAGO PLANT FOR VERY SIMILAR PROBLEMS BUT MINE IS NOT INCLUDED. 37000 MILES ON THE VEHICLE. PRETTY DANGEROUS FOR IT TO JUST STALL WHEN GOING THAT FAST FOR NO APPARENT REASON.

2015 FORD TAURUS/APPROX 7850MILES ON CAR/6 MONTHS OLD....VEHICLE WENT INTO LIMP HOME MODE AT HIGHWAY SPEED. ESPECIALLY IN THE HANDS OF A LESS EXPERIENCED DRIVER, THIS COULD CAUSE MAJOR CONFUSION, AND POSSIBLY A MAJOR REAR END COLLISION AND IT IS A SAFETY CONCERN THAT PROVES THIS PROBLEM STILL EXISTS WITH THIS PART, EVEN THOUGH THE NHTSA HAS "CLOSED THE FILE" AND ACCEPTED FORD'S EXPLANATION. THE NHTSA SHOULD RE-OPEN THIS FILE AND INVESTIGATE. THE FOLKS AT FORD SERVICE SEEM TO BE ALL TOO FAMILIAR WITH THIS PROBLEM. FORD MUST BE HELD ACCOUNTABLE FOR THESE POTENTIALLY LIFE THREATENING SITUATIONS CAUSED BY THESE PARTS AND THEY MUST BE FORCED TO PERFORM A FULL SCALE RECALL ON PART AT4Z-9E926-B (THROTTLE BODY)

TAKATA RECALL MY 2015 FORD TAURUS KEEP GIVING ME THE SAME PROBLEMS AFTER I WENT TO A FORD DEALER AND PURCHASED THE FUEL PUMP MODULE AND REPLACE IT 3 WEEKS LATER THE CAR STALL WITH ME WHILE I WAS DRIVING ON THE THRUWAY. IN THIS MATTER I TRULY THINK THAT ITS UNSAFE TO DRIVE A VEHICLE WITH THAT TYPE OF PROBLEM, AND IT HAPPEN NOT JUST ONCE BUT THREE TIMES THE VEHICLE IS ONLY 2 YEARS OLD
