2013 Ford Taurus Complaint Log

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2013 FORD TAURUS. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE HIS WIFE WAS DRIVING AT 45 MPH, THE STEERING WHEEL CEASED AS THE TRACTION ASSIST WARNING LIGHT ILLUMINATED. THE CONTACT'S WIFE STEERED THE VEHICLE TO A PARKING LOT WHERE SHE TURNED THE VEHICLE OFF AND BACK ON WHICH FAILED TO RESUME BACK TO NORMAL. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DRIVABLE AND REMAINED PARKED IN A PARKING LOT. NO DEALER WAS CONTACTED. THE CONTACT REFERENCED NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 15V340000 (STEERING) AS A POSSIBLE SOLUTION TO THE FAILURE HOWEVER, THE VIN WAS NOT INCLUDED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 94,000.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2013 FORD TAURUS. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING AT VARIOUS SPEEDS, THERE WAS AN ABNORMAL VIBRATION COMING FROM THE REAR END OF THE VEHICLE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE VIBRATION WAS FELT IN THE SEAT AND STEERING WHEEL. THE CONTACT ALSO STATED THAT WHILE DEPRESSING THE BRAKE PEDAL, THE REAR END OF THE VEHICLE LOWERED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC AND WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE REAR SUSPENSION LATERAL LINK HAD DETACHED AND NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED. THE CONTACT REFERENCED NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 20V072000 (SUSPENSION) AND STATED THE VEHICLE EXPERIENCED THE SAME FAILURE. THE DEALER AND MANUFACTURER WERE MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE MANUFACTURER INFORMED THE CONTACT THAT THE VEHICLE WAS NOT A TAURUS-SHO MODEL AND THEREFORE NOT INCLUDED IN THE RECALL. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 127,497.

POWER STEERING ASSIST FAULT CAME ON I WAS FORTUNATE THAT IT HAPPENED WHEN I WAS STATIONARY IN A DRIVEWAY AND NOT VERY FAR FROM HOME. STEERING IS LOCKED AND IT'S INCREDIBLY DIFFICULT TO TURN EITHER LEFT OR RIGHT. I CALLED FORDS RECALL # AND I WAS TOLD MY CAR DOEST FALL UNDER RECALL COVERAGE BECAUSE THE MONTH IT WAS ASSEMBLED WAS WHEN THEY SWAPPED TO USING ANOTHER STEERING RACK DESPITE MY VEHICLE HAVING THE EXACT SAME PROBLEM SPECIFIED UNDER RECALL 15S18. I'M UNSURE WHY THEY WOULD SWAP STEERING RACKS MIDWAY THROUGH THE '13 MODEL YEAR UNLESS THEY KNEW THEY INSTALLED FAULTY EQUIPMENT.

AT RANDOM, POWER STEERING GOES OFF WHILE IN MOTION.

POWER STEERING WOULD GO IN AND OUT AS I HIT BUMPS IN THE ROAD AT FIRST. NOW IT'S OUT COMPLETELY AND SOMETIMES LOCKS IN POSITION WITHOUT ABILITY TO CORRECT FOR 1 -2 SECONDS. RECALS FOR THIS MAKE, MODEL, AND YEAR HAVE BEEN ISSUED. MY VIN IS NOT SUPPORTED DESPITE THE SIMILAR CHARACTERISTICS OF THE PROBLEM AS WELL AS THE SCENARIO LEADING UP TO TOTAL FAILURE. I HAVE A GREEN 2013 FORD TAURUS SHO POLICE INTERCEPTOR. IT WAS A STATE HIGHWAY PATROL CAR FROM RHODE ISLAND I BELIEVE. I PURCHASED THE CAR FROM CHICAGO MOTORS. IT WAS DELIVERED TO ME IN OHIO. I DIDN'T EVEN TEST DRIVE THE VEHICLE. I TRUSTED IN FORD. BUT AFTER THE SAFETY ISSUED THAT'S ONLY ADDRESSED SELECTIVELY, I AM ASHAMED TO OWN ANYTHING WITH THE NAME, INCLUDING MY F450. I DON'T KNOW WHAT KIND OF DISCUSSING GREED DRIVES A COMPANY TO WAIT FOR SOMEONE TO BE INJURED OR WORSE TO ACT ON A PRODUCT THAT THEY HAVE ALREADY ADDRESSED IN SELECT VEHICLES. I WILL BE BE FIXING THIS PROBLEM AS I DIAGNOSE THE ISSUE AND HOPEFULLY, IM AM ABLE TO ASSIST OTHERS I'M MAKING NON COSTLY REPAIRS THAT ARE ABOVE OEM QUALIFICATIONS. IF ANYONE IS THINKING OF BUYING A FORD PRODUCT, I SUGGEST THEY TAKE A LOOK AT THEY'RE TRACK RECORD FOR CUSTOMER CAN AND PRODUCT RELIABILITY. A COMPANY THAT DOESN'T STAND BEHIND THEIR PRODUCT SAYS THE SAME OF THEM AS IS DOES OF THE VEHICLE PURCHASED. I WILL BE SELLING BOTH OF MY FORD VEHICLES AS I CANNOT TRUST EITHER ONE TO BE SAFE OR RELIABLE. (3.5 ECOBOOST MOTORS- KNOWN FOR CARBON BUILDUP ABOVE VALVES LEADING TO ROUGH IDLE AND POOR PERFORMANCE. CHUNKS CAN DISLODGE AND MAKE WAY IN ENGINE AND TURBOS CAUSING CATOSTROPHIC FAILURES.) (6.0 POWERSTROKE- WEAK HEAD BOLTS STRETCH DUE TO EGR CLOG CAUSING HEAD GASKET TO GIVE UNDER PRESSURE. REPAIR TYPICALLY REQUIRES CAB REMOVAL.) THE COST OF THOSE TWO REPAIRS WOULD PAY 1/3 OF A NEW CAR. #HOMEWORK

WHILE DRIVING ON HWY.10 W. AT APPROX 70 MPH, THE WHEEL BECAME STIFF, MY SERVICE POWER STEERING LIGHT FLASHED, THE WHEEL LOCKED, CAUSING ME TO VEER INTO THE TRAFFIC OF AN 18 WHEELER. UNABLE TO CONTROL THE VEHICLE, I RAN OFF OF THE EMBANKMENT OF THE NEAREST EXIT. I TRIED TO ADD POWER STEERING FLUID BUT THERE WAS NO RESERVOIR. I GOOGLED A LOCAL REPAIR SHOP WHO ADVISED ME TO TAKE IT TO A FORD DEALERSHIP. STRANDED WITH NO STEERING, THIS CREATED AN ENORMOUS AMOUNT OF STRESS, I AM A CANCER SURVIVOR, MY LIFE FLASHED BEFORE ME. I WAS 8 MILES FROM A FORD DEALERSHIP, I TOOK A BACK ROAD AND CREEP AT 10 MILES AN HOUR WITH NO STEERING. $139 FOR DIAGNOSTIC AND $2500 FOR REPAIR; I DECLINED THE REPAIR AS I HAVE BEEN IN CANCER TREATMENT FOR THE PAST YEAR AND NOW COVID19. THROUGH THE GRACE OF GOD, STEERING RESUMED; I CONTINUE TOWARDS MY DESTINATION, LOS ANGELES, CA, SUDDENLY THE STEERING WENT OUT AGAIN ARRIVING IN REDLANDS, CA, AGAIN SWERVING RECKLESSLY PUSHING ME INTO TRAFFIC ON BOTH SIDES OF MY VEHICLE, VEERING ME OFF OF THE ROAD ONTO AN EXIT WHERE I WAS NEARLY REAR-ENDED AND SIDESWIPED BY VEHICLES EXITING HWY 10 W. FORD IN THE REDLANDS ASKED FOR $2,500 ONLY NOW I WAS PROVIDED WITH INFORMATION CONCERNING A RECALL ON THE POWER STEERING ON THE YEAR, MAKE AND MODEL OF MY CAR. I WAS TOLD THAT MY VIN WAS NOT COVERED. I WAS INSTRUCTED TO TAKE IT TO THE FORD DEALER IN THE CITY OF SAN BERNARDINO. THEY RESET THE COMPUTER THE POWER STEERING BEGAN TO WORK AGAIN, THEY DID NOT KNOW FOR HOW LONG. I IMMEDIATELY CANCELED MY TRIP TO LOS ANGELES TO GET MYSELF AND THE VEHICLE BACK TO SAFETY. I MADE IT TO THE ARIZONA BORDER, THE STEERING WENT OUT AGAIN; I WAS THROWN TO THE RIGHT SIDE OF THE ROAD NEARLY CRASHING INTO SEVERAL CARS. I CALLED AAA, TOWED CAR TO GLENDALE, AZ, SANDERSON FORD, 90 MILES OUT. I NEARLY LOST MY LIFE DUE TO THE FAULTY POWER STEERING UNIT. POWER RESUMED BUT WAS VERY STIFF.

THE POWER STEERING HAS STOPPED WORKING MAKING IT DIFFICULT TO MANEUVER THE STEERING WHEEL. THERE IS AN ERROR MESSAGE THAT DAY POWER ASSIST FAULT. THERE IS A RECALL ON 2013 MODEL FORD TAURUS OVER 300,000 FOR THIS REASON BUT MY VIN NUMBER IS NOT LISTED.

POWER STEERING STOPPED WHILE MY HUSBAND WAS DRIVING HIS VEHICLE FROM A PARKING LOT ONTO A BUSY ROAD. THE BLINKERS ALSO DO NOT STAY ON AND HAVE TO BE HELD DOWN WHILE TRYING TO TURN A STEERING WHEEL WITH NO POWER. THIS IS OBVIOUSLY VERY DANGEROUS! THE ERROR CODES THAT CAME UP ARE U3000-49, U3000-96, U3000-72, U042081, U046B-86. THERE IS A RECALL ON 2013 FORD TAURUS BUT FOR SOME REASON OUR VIN IS NOT LISTED IN THE RECALLS, HOWEVER WE ARE HAVING THE SAME ISSUE AS DISCRIBED IN THIS RECALL. FORD IS REFUSING TO HELP US GET THIS RESOLVED AND TELLING US THAT WE MUST PAY FOR THE COST OF SOMETHING THAT HAS ALREADY BEEN REPORTED ON 2013 VEHICLES. RECALL CODE 15S18. IT APPEARS FORD IS NOT TAKING RESPONSIBILITY FOR THEIR POOR PRODUCT AND SELLING A VEHICLE THAT IS QUITE FRANKLY LETHAL AND NOW UNDRIVABLE.

IN THE END OF JUNE WHILE DRIVING THE ABOVE CAR, THE LEFT REAR TOE LINK/LATERAL ARM BROKE WHILE CROSSING A BRIDGE ON A COUNTY ROAD APROX 45 MPH CAUSING A VIOLENT FISH TAIL, LOSS OF CONTROL. INSPECTION OF THE BROKEN TOE LINK/ARM SHOWS AN OLD CRACK. THIS PART WAS REPLACED. ONE MONTH LATER ON JULY 27, 2020 THE RIGHT REAR LATERAL ARM/LINK BROKE WHILE MY WIFE WAS DRIVING ON A HIGHWAY AT SPEED 55-60 MPH RESULTING IN A CRASH CAUSING CONSIDERABLE PROPERTY AND VEHICLE DAMAGE. NO POLICE REPORT FILED. A RECALL FOR THIS TYPE OF CAR IS ACTIVE BUT DOES NOT INCLUDE MY MODEL. IM SURE MY CAR CONTAINS THE SAME PARTS THAT FAILED. THE RECALL NUMBERS ARE CAMPAIGN ID 20V072000. RECALL DATE 2020-02-11. FORD RECALL NUMBER 20S04. AN INSURANCE CLAIM IS IN THE PROCESS NOW.

STEERING LOCKED UP WHILE TURNING AT 25MPH. CROSSED 3 LANES OF ONCOMING TRAFFIC UNTIL I COULD STOP ON SHOULDER. CAR TOWED TO DEALERSHIP. NOT LOSS OF POWER STEERING -- STEERING LOCKED UP COMPLETELY.

Car keeps throwing wrench light on and looses all power while driving. Car has been back to dealership and they can not find any issues. Researching it seems to be a big on going issue with the 13 ford vehicles. I’m going to be in a major accident with this car and I’m still paying on it.

RIVERTOWN FORD HAS CLAIMED TO INSPECT THE REAR TOELINK AND COULD NOT HAVE CONSIDERING I'VE FELT THE REAR END TRAILING FROM TIME TO TIME AND NOTICED UPON INSPECTION DEPLOYED BY MYSELF VISUALLY THAT THE DRIVER SIDE TOELINK HAD BEEN CRACKING. WHEN I NOTIFIED FORD BY PHONE THE DEALERSHIP AT THAT TIME BRUSHED ME OFF WHEN I FINALLY TALKED THEM INTO AT LEAST DOING A MULTI POINT INSPECTION THAT I PAID FOR THEY CLAIMED THEY HADN'T NOTICED ANYTHING. THEY THEN AND SINCE THEN REFUSE TO EVEN LOOK AT THE SUSPENSION WITHOUT A 300$ FEE. (2 THE OTHER INSTANCE IS AFTER RECEIVING DAMAGE TO MY PASSENGER SIDE FENDER AND OBTAINING A "SHORT" IN MY BCM I STARTED TO GET IMMOBERLIZER MESSAGES. P161-2A INCORRECT MESSAGE FROM IMMOBILIZER. I DIAGNOSED THE ISSUE WITH MY LAPTOP AND OBD2 PASSTHRU DEVICE AND AFTER SEEING THE ISSUE WAS FROM PATS WHICH BY THE WAY ISN'T EVEN PRESENT IN THE 2013-19 FORD POLICE INTERCEPTOR SEDANS FORD AGAIN WANTED 400$ TO"DIAGNOSE" THE VEHICLE IN WHICH I HAD COMMUNICATED WITH THE SUPERVISOR TRYING TO CONFIRM MY FEAR OF PAYING THE AMOUNT WILL THEY BE ABLE TO AT LEAST REPAIR OR BE FURTHER ALONG.THEY INFORMED ME THAT THEY COULDN'T EVEN FIX OR PROGRAM THE ISSUE IF THIS IS THE CASE. AFTER THEY INSTRUCTED ME TO TOW IT THERE AND HAVING MY VEHICLE FOR APPROXIMATELY 2 WEEKS THEY AGAIN TRYING TO RECEIVE MORE MONEY AND CLAIMS OF PROBABLY NOT GOING TO BE ABLE TO FIX IT BY THE SERVICE TECH I REFUSED TO PAY FOR ANY RIDICULOUS CLAIMS OF NOT BEING ABLE TO PROGRAM THEIR OWN FORD I THEN HAD TO GET THE VEHICLE TOWED BACK TO MY HOUSE AND AFTER 2 MONTHS I STILL HAVE THE SAME MESSAGE AFTER PCM AND BCM REPLACEMENT (2 SEPARATE INSTANCES) DATES ARE FOR TOELINK ISSUE PATS IS A CURRENT ISSUE

IN 2015 FORD RECALLED THE ELECTRIC POWER ASSIST SYSTEM FOR STEERING ON THE 2011-2013 FORD TAURUS. I CURRENTLY HAVE A 2013 TAURUS THAT IS NOT COMING UP WITH THE RECALL BUT IS HAVING THIS ISSUE. IT IS VERY UNSAFE AS THE STEERING WHEEL STICKS AND DOES NOT TURN PROPERLY.

WHILE DRIVING, THE STEERING WHEEL BECOMES EXTREMELY DIFFICULT TO TURN. I LOSE POWER STEERING AND HAVE ONLY MANUAL STEERING. IT DOESN'T MATTER WHAT TYPE OF STREET OR CONDITIONS ARE, THIS ISSUE OCCURS NO MATTER WHAT AND CONTINUES TO OCCUR. NO SYSTEM CHECKS HAVE COME UP ON THE VEHICLE. *TR

POWER STEERING ASSIST FAILURE THE SAME AS WHAT IS DESCRIBED IN RECALL 15S18 ( NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 15V34000 ) BUT CARS MADE AFTER A CERTAIN DATE ARE NOT COVERED BY THAT RECALL, EVEN WHEN THE EXACT SAME ISSUE IS HAPPENING. THE RECALL NEEDS TO BE EXTENDED TO LATER MODELS FOR THE SAME ISSUE.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2013 FORD TAURUS. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE THEIR SPOUSE WAS DRIVING AT APPROXIMATELY 65 MPH, THE STEERING WHEEL FAILED TO TURN AND LOSS ALL POWER STEERING ASSIST WITHOUT WARNING. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE ELECTRICAL POWER STEERING ASSIST GEAR NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE CONTACT CONTACTED SIOUX CITY FORD LOCATED AT (3601 SINGING HILLS BLVD, SIOUX CITY, IA 51106) AND WAS INFORMED OF THE FAILURE. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 100,000.

THE VEHICLE STARTED TO LOSE POWERSTEERING WHILE DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD, ITS REALLY HARD TO STEER THE VEHICLE ALMOST GOT IN ACCIDENT. THE POWER STEERING NOW GIVES A MESSAGE SAYING ITS FAULTY, I HAVE TOOK IT TO FORD DEALER BECAUSE IVE FOUND FORMS ONLINE SHOWING THERE HAS BEEN RECALLS ON THE POWERSTEERING. FORD DENID THAT THERE IS RECALLS ON THE ELECTRIC POWERSTEERING SYSTEM.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2013 FORD TAURUS. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHEN TURNING, THE STEERING WHEEL EMITTED A GRINDING SOUND. THE GRINDING SOUND WAS ALSO EMITTED WHEN REVERSING THE VEHICLE. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO TWO INDEPENDENT MECHANICS FOR INSPECTION. THE CONTACT WAS INFORMED THAT THE ROCK AND PINION AND POWER STEERING GEARBOX FAILED AND NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS CONTACTED. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 114,000.

MY CAR HAD A HARD START AND ROUGH IDLE. 02 SENSORS WERE ORDERED BECAUSE IF THE CODE IT WAS GIVING OFF. DAYS LATER MY CAR THREW A WENCH SIGN, ONLY ONCE AFTER THE CAR TURNED OFF IT DIDN'T SHOW UP AGAIN. THE CAR STARTED JERKING, THE RPMS WERE JUMPING AND THE CAR ACTUALLY SHUT OFF ON ME WHILE DRIVING. AFTER LOOKING UP THESE CODES THIS WAS AN ISSUE MANY OTHERS WERE HAVING WITH THIS CAR AND OTHER FORD MODELS. IT HAS SINCE TURNED ON, RAN FOR SECONDS, AND TURN OFF SHORTLY AFTER. EACH TIME A CODE IS RAN IT SHOWS SOMETHING DIFFERENT THAN IT DID PREVIOUSLY.

2013 TAURUS LIMITED WITH 71,300 MILES WOULD RANDOMLY STALL ONLY LIKE 3 TIMES THOUGH. I WOULD HAVE TO RESTART IT TO CONTINUE ON. BUT ON 3/3/20, I WAS WAS READY TO LEAVE WORK AND MY TAURUS WOULD CHURN BUT NOT START. THE LIGHT PANEL AND HEADLIGHTS CAME ON AND THE BATTERY WAS NOT DEAD. I HAD TO LEAVE IT IN THE PARKING LOT OVERNIGHT. THE NEXT DAY I HAD TO HAVE IT TOWED TO A FORD DEALERSHIP. I HAD DONE THE RESEARCH SO I KNEW WHAT THE PROBLEM WAS SO I LET THE DEALERSHIP KNOW. SURE ENOUGH, THE FUEL PUMP MODULE NEEDED TO BE REPLACED AT MY EXPENSE OF $341.

FREQUENT FULL SUSPENSION JOUNCE AND REBOUND TRAVEL MAY INCREASE THE STRESS ON THE REAR SUSPENSION TOE LINKS WHICH MAY OVER TIME RESULT IN A TOE LINK FRACTURE. FORD HAS YET TO PROVIDE THE NECESSARY PART(S) TO EFFECTUATE A RECALL REPAIR BY THE DEALERSHIP. FORD SEEMS TO BE IGNORING THIS NHTSA RECALL IN A TIMELY MANNER. PLEASE CONTACT FORD AND REQUEST IMMEDIATE ATTENTION TO THIS MATTER. THANK YOU. *TR

STEERING ANGLE SENSOR CODE CIB00-64 - WAS DIAGNOSE TO BE ISSUE. THOUGH RECALL WAS APPROVED ON THIS MAKE/MODEL STEERING:ELECTRICAL POWER ASSIST SYSTEMS-THIS CAR IS NOT COVER BECAUSE THEY CLAIM IT WAS BUILT AFTER DATE SUGGESTED IN RECALL FORD 15S18. WITHOUT WARNING AND WHILE CAR IS IN MOTION WHILE DRIVING ON STREET/HIGHWAY AND IN MOTION THE STEERING WHEEL BECOMES STIFF (NO PLAY IN WHEEL AS NORMALLY IT HAS) WHEN YOU PROCEED IN MAKING TURNS THE CAR LOSES ALL POWER AND SHUTS DOWN CAUSING THE ENGINE TO SHUT OFF. WHEN THIS HAPPENS IT WILL NORMALLY START AGAIN,ONCE STARTED AGAIN THE STEERING WHEEL BECOMES VERY HARD TO STEER, MAKING IT ALMOST IMPOSSIBLE TO STEER. THEN WITHOUT WARNING YOU WILL HAVE NORMAL FUNCTION OF THE STEERING. CAUSING YOU TO LOSE CONTROL OF THE CAR BECAUSE WHEN IT RE-CORRECTS THE STEERING FAILURE, IT OFTEN OCCURS WHILE WE ARE OVER COMPENSATING FOR THE LOST OF STEERING, CAUSING THE CAR TO GO OUT OF CONTROL. *TR

PURCHASED A USE 2013 POLICE INTERCEPTOR. DROVE TO STORE, CAR WON'T START, SAT FOR A WHILE IT STARTED, DROVE HOME AND PARKED IT. NOT THE FIRST TIME VEHICLE ENGINE STALLS OUT, ENGINE CUTS OUT, WON'T START. IS THERE A RECALL ON FUEL SYSTEM? CAN FORD REMEDY THE SITUATION OR HAS IT BEEN FIXED ALREADY?

RECALL FROM FEBRUARY 10TH ON FRACTURED REAR SUSPENSION TOE LINK. FORD DEALER STATING PARTS STILL NOT AVAILABLE

RECALL FROM FEBRUARY 10TH ON FRACTURED REAR SUSPENSION TOE LINK. FORD DEALER STATING PARTS STILL NOT AVAILABLE.

VEHICLE IN MOTION ON EXPRESSWAY FAILS TO ACCELERATE/LOSS OF POWER ON ACCELERATION VEHICLE TIME OF FAILURE 73,000 MILES NO IN DASH LIGHTS OR CODES. DANGEROUS AND CAN POSE EXTREME RISK OF VEHICLE CRASH. TOOK TO FORD DEALER THEY INFORMED TO JUST GET RID OF IT. JUST PURCHASED VEHICLE LESS THAN SIX MONTHS AGO.

VEHICLE KEEPS SLIPPING AND MAKING CLUNKING NOISES WHEN GOING DOWN THE HIGHWAY. I DIDN'T HAVE THIS ISSUE UNTIL A MONTH AGO AND IT SEEMS TO BE GETTING WORSE. THE GUY AT BELLE TIRE SAID THE RACK IS A COMMON ISSUE WITH FORD TAURUS'. TRYING TO KEEP AWAY FROM BUMP AND TURNS BUT I HAVE A LOT WHEN DRIVING IN GRAND RAPIDS. I'VE ALMOST HIT CARS BECAUSE IT RANDOMLY PULLS ME IN ONE DIRECTION. VEHICLE IS ONLY MOVING WHEN IT HAPPENS AND HAPPENS BOTH ON THE HIGHWAY AND WHEN I'M GOING IN REVERSE WITH THE WHEEL TURNED ALL THE WAY IN ONE DIRECTION.

CAR STALLED WHILE DRIVING LATER WOULD NOT START WOULD TURN OVER BUT NOT RUN

AIRBAG LIGHT STAYS ON. *TR

VEHICLE EMITS STRONG ODOR OF GASOLINE WHEN SETTING IN GARAGE. DO NOT SEE ANY VISIBLE FUEL LEAK. AFRAID FUMES MAY IGNITE!

CAR WOULD SHIFT OFF WHEN STOPPED AT LIGHT OR WHILE DRIVING. AFTER FILLING HAD TANK CAR WILL NOT IMMEDIATELY START. TAKES ABOUT 2 TO 3 TRIES TO TURN OVER. REPLACED FORM PUMP THEN MONTHS LATER REPLACED 2ND COMPONENT IN THE FUEL SYSTEM. *TR

THE 2013 FORD TAURUS WAS STALLING INTERMITTENTLY AND TAKEN TO THE GARAGE WHERE THE DIAGNOSTIC CODE SHOWING UP WAS P0627, WHICH POINTS TO A FUEL PUMP MODULE FAILURE HAD OCCURRED. THIS SEEMS LIKE THE SAME ISSUE AS SHOWN IN NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 16V621000 BUT DID NOT INCLUDE MY 2013 TAURUS AND SEEMS THAT IT SHOULD HAVE. SUMMARY FROM NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER 16V621000: 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. FORD RECALL NUMBER FOR THIS WAS 16S31.

THERE IS A RECALL ON THIS ISSUE THAT I'M HAVING WHEN I WENT TO FORD THEY SAID THERE IS NO RECALL BUT I SEE A RECALL ONLINE FOR SAME ISSUE THE PROBLEM NEVER GOT TAKING CARE OF SO I WANTED TO GET IT TAKING CARE OF. CHECK ENGINE LIGHT ON I HAD IT LOOKED AT THE RECALL IS SAME ISSUE SHOWING ON MY CHECK ENGINE LIGHT. WHY IS FORD SAYING THERE IS NO RECALL WHEN I SEE THAT IT CLEARLY SHOWS RECALL AND NO WORK HAD BEEN DONE TO MY VEHICLE TO FIX THIS ISSUE?

STEERING BECOMES DIFFICULT WHILE DRIVING THE VEHICLE IN COLD WEATHER. VEHICLE WAS ALLOWED TO WARM UP FOR APPROXIMATELY 10 MINUTES BEFORE BEING DRIVEN ON CITY STREETS AS WELL AS HIGHWAY. ALL FORMS OF TURNING THE WHEEL (EITHER TURNING ONTO A DIFFERENT STREET IN THE CITY OR A LANE CHANGE ON THE HIGHWAY) WERE DIFFICULT TO DO DUE TO A LACK OF ASSISTANCE FROM THE ELECTRONIC STEERING ASSIST SYSTEM.

I FILL UP GAS TANK, TRY TO START CAR AND CAR DOES NOT START, AND I HAVE TO TRY 2-3 TIMES TO START ENGINE. THEN CHECK ENGINE LIGHT WILL STAY ON UNTIL GAS GOES DOWN. *TR

STARTED CAR POWER STEERING DEFAULT CAME ON WILL NOT GO OFF THIS HAPPEN TWICE FIRST TIME WENT OFF BUT SECOND TIME WILL NOT GO OFF. CAN'T TURN THE CAR EITHER DIRECTION.

ON 12/11 AT 2:30PM POWER STEERING FAILED WITHOUT WARNING 5 MINUTES AFTER STARTING AND TURNING RIGHT ONTO JOHNNIE DODDS (CITY STREET). WARNING MESSAGE APPEARED INDICATING POWER STEERING FAILURE. DROVE SEVERAL MILES, PARKED AND SHUT OFF CAR. RESTARTED ABOUT 10 MINUTES LATER AND NO PROBLEMS SINCE. HAVE DRIVEN ABOUT 35 MILES WITH NO PROBLEMS. CONCERNED FOR SAFETY OF SUDDEN STEERING FAILURES IN FUTURE. FORD SERVICE ADVISOR AT JONES FORD INDICATED THAT THEY PROBABLY WOULDN'T FIND ANYTHING WRONG SINCE THEY CAN'T RECREATE THE PROBLEM.

CAR WAS STATIONARY IN MY DRIVEWAY..I STARTED THE CAR TO PICK UP GROCERIES, THE POWER STEERING ASSIST WARNING LIGHT CAME ON. THERES NO POWER STEERING, HAVING CAR TOWED TO DEALERSHIP. WAS INFORMED MY CAR CANNOT BE SERVICED UNTIL DEC 19 2019.

THE HEADLIGHTS ON THIS VEHICLE PRESENT A HAZARD AS THEY PROVIDE LITTLE TO NO PERIPHERAL LIGHT. THE HEADLIGHTS ON THIS VEHICLE ARE EQUIPPED WITH ONLY ONE BULB PER SIDE WHICH PROVIDES LIGHT STRAIGHT AHEAD BUT VERY LITTLE LIGHT TO THE SIDE. THUS WHEN ONE MAKES A TURN ONTO ANOTHER ROAD ONE CANNOT SEE THE ROAD BEING TURNED ON PRIOR TO THE TURN. I AM PUTTING A DATE IN BELOW ONLY BECAUSE IT IS REQUIRED.
