AFTER I GOT THE SERVICE MY CAR START TO CREAT WEIRD MOTION AND UNUSUAL VEHICLE HANDLING IN HIGHWAY SPEED AND LOCAL SPEED.SOMETIMES HARD TO CONTROL THE VEHICLE.

THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE 75,100.

AFTER TRYING TO START MY CAR THIS MORNING, THE VEHICLE WOULD TURN OVER BUT WOULDN'T START. I LEARNED OF A RECALL THAT AFFECTED OTHER 2015 TAURUS' FOR THE FUEL CONTROL PUMP MODULE AND REPLACED THE PART WITHOUT ANY FURTHER ISSUE. MY VEHICLE HOWEVER STATED NO RECALLS WHEN SEARCHED BY VIN. VEHICLE WAS STATIONARY IN PARKING LOT. NO MECHANICAL CODES WERE SHOWING EITHER, VEHICLE WOULD JUST TURN OVER BUT NOT START.

WATER DRAIN BLOCKAGE CAUSED WATER POOLING IN INTERIOR FRONT PASSENGER SIDE OF CAR. CAR WAS PARKED OUTSIDE IN ASSIGNED PARKING SPACE AND AT THE TIME THERE WERE A COUPLE OF WEEKS OF EXCESSIVE RAINS DURING THE MONTH OF AUGUST 2020

WHEN I SEARCH RECALL BY VIN, MY 2015 FORD TAURUS SAYS THERE IS NO RECALL, WHEN CLEARLY MY MODEL SHOULD BE INCLUDED WITH THE OTHER 2015 MODELS.

DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD, ALL OF A SUDDEN MY POWER STEERING LOCKS UP WITH A DEFAULT MESSAGE. THIS HAPPENED DRIVING STRAIGHT DOWN THE CITY ROAD GOING 40MPH.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2015 FORD TAURUS. THE CONTACT STATED THAT AFTER REFUELING AND ATTEMPTING TO DRIVE OFF, THE VEHICLE LOSS POWER STEERING ASSIST. THE POWER STEERING ASSIST WARNING LIGHT WAS ILLUMINATED. THE CONTACT WAITED FOR FIFTEEN MINUTES, RESTARTED THE VEHICLE AND THE VEHICLE OPERATED AS INTENDED. THE CONTACT CONTACTED OLATHE FORD LINCOLN (1845 E SANTA FE ST, OLATHE, KS 66062, (913) 782-0881) TO HAVE THE VEHICLE DIAGNOSED. THE CONTACT WAS INFORMED THAT THE STEERING GEAR AND POWER STEERING MODULE NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE ISSUE AND A CASE WAS FILED. THE CONTACT WAS INFORMED THAT THE REPAIR WAS NO LONGER COVERED UNDER WARRANTY. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 61,900.*DT*JB

CAR HAS APPROXIMATELY 58,000 MILES ON IT. THE ALARM CODE "STEERING FAULT, SERVICE NOW" KEEPS PERIODICALLY APPEARING ON THE DASH, SOMETIMES WHILE DRIVING AND SOMETIMES WHILE JUST SITTING IN PARK. THE STEERING BECOMES VERY HARD TO TURN. THIS STEERING SETUP IS AN ELECTRONIC STEERING ASSIST INSTEAD OF THE OLD STYLE POWER STEERING THAT USED FLUID. FROM WHAT I CAN FIND, THIS WAS A PREVIOUS RECALL FOR THE EARLIER YEAR MODELS BUT HAVE YET TO ISSUE THE SAME RECALL FOR THIS YEAR. THERE SHOULD NOT BE ANY TYPE OF FAILURE AT THIS TYPE OF MILEAGE. IT SEEMS TO BE AN OCCURRING PROBLEM WITH THIS CAR WELL BELOW THE 100K MILEAGE MARKER. THIS SHOULD NOT BE SOMETHING THAT THE OWNERS SHOULD HAVE TO DISH OUT OF POCKET. THIS IS SOMETHING THAT FORD NEEDS TO OWN UP TO AND REPLACE DUE TO THEIR SYSTEM BEING FAULTY. *TR

I WAS ABOUT TO GO TO LUNCH AT WORK WHEN MY CAR WOULDN'T START. THE AUTOMOTIVE INSTRUCTOR AT THE TECHNICAL COLLEGE I WORK AT TOLD ME IT WAS THE FUEL PUMP AND SYSTEM. HE CHECK THE FUEL TANK BY AND FINALLY GOT IT TO START. WHEN I GIT READY TO GO TO WORK JULY 6TH AT 7AM, MY CAR WOULDN'T START AGAIN AND HASN'T STARTED SINCE I DROVE IT LAST ON SUNDAY JULY 5TH. I HAVE BEEN WITHOUT A VEHICLE SINCE AND NOW I'M TRYING TO TRADE IT FOR A BETTER VEHICLE. MY 2015 FORD TAURUS ONLY HAS 63,300 MILES.

THEN, I TRIED TO START THE ENGINE, BUT IT DID NOT START. IT WAS GIVING A WEIRD SOUND THAT IS SCARY TO ME, THE OWNER. SO, I LEFT IT AS IS FOR THE NIGHT. I AM NOW REPORTING THIS PROBLEM BECAUSE WHEN I ENTERED MY VEHICLE'S VIN NUMBER, THE WEBSITE STATED THAT IT DOES NOT HAVE ANY RECALLS IN IT. I KNOW THAT 2015 FORD TAURUS HAS THIS RECALL PROBLEM, BUT FOR SOME REASON, MY CAR IS NOT INCLUDED WITH THESE CARS. *TR

IT'S MAKES A WEIRD NOISE AND I TOOK IT TO PEP BOYS AND THEY DIDN'T FIND ANYTHING. *TR

MY POWER STEERING WENT OUT WHILE DRIVING WHICH WAS VERY SCARY AND DANGEROUS FOR MYSELF AND OTHER DRIVERS. I KNOW THIS HAS BEEN A RECALL FOR EARLIER TAURUS MODELS 2011-2014 AND I THINK THIS YEAR NEEDS TO BE INCLUDED IN THAT RECALL AS WELL. THE COST TO FIX IS $2,500 AT THE DEALERSHIP AND DURING THIS COVID 19 PANDEMIC THAT IS A LOT OF MONEY. *TR

TRIED TO START CAR ONE MORNING HAD IT TOWED TO A DEALER AND IT TURNS OUT IT WAS THE FUEL PUMP DRIVE MODULE AND REPLACING IT FIXED THE PROBLEM. THERE WAS A RECALL FOR FORD TAURUS OF 2013-2015 AND THEY SAID MY VEHICLE WAS NOT AFFECTED, BUT CLEARLY IT WAS.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2015 FORD TAURUS. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING AT VARIOUS SPEEDS, THE DRIVER'S SIDE REAR TOE LINK DETACHED WITHOUT WARNING. THE CONTACT VEERED TO THE SHOULDER OF THE ROADWAY FOR ASSISTANCE. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO TOOTHMAN & SOWERS FORD (2231 WHITE HALL BLVD, FAIRMONT, WV 26554, (888) 937-7330) WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED AND DETERMINED THAT THE DRIVER SIDE REAR TOE LINK NEEDED TO BE REPLACED.

THE VEHICLE WAS INCLUDED IN NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 20V072000 (SUSPENSION). THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 80,000.

WHILE DRIVING MY VEHICLE HOME FROM WORK THE ENGINE BEGAN SHUDDERING, SURGING, AND FINALLY DIED LEAVING ME STRANDED ON THE SIDE OF THE ROAD CAUSING POTENTIAL HAZARD FOR MYSELF AS WELL AS OTHER DRIVERS. I TOWED THE VEHICLE TO MY MECHANIC WHO TOLD ME IT COULD BE EITHER THE HIGH PRESSURE FUEL PUMP OR THE FUEL PUMP CONTROL MODULE. THE VEHICLE ONLY HAS 61,000 MILES ON IT MAKING IT JUST OUTSIDE THE MANUFACTURER'S 60,000 MILE WARRANTY. FORD REFUSED TO EXTEND ANY KIND OF WARRANTY WHEN THE MECHANIC CALLED. WHEN I CHECKED THE ISSUE ONLINE I LEARNED OF A 2016 FORD RECALL REGARDING THE FUEL PUMP CONTROL MODULE FOR 2013-2015 FORD VEHICLES WHICH APPARENTLY DOES NOT COVER MY CAR. BOTH THE MECHANIC AND I ARE BAFFLED THAT A FUEL PUMP COULD SUDDENLY FAIL WITH ONLY 61,000 MILES ON THE VEHICLE AND HE WAS VERY SURPRISED THAT FORD WOULD NOT DO ANYTHING TO EVEN ASSIST WITH THE COST OF THE REPAIR. AS FAR AS THE FUEL PUMP CONTROL MODULE, I AM STILL IN THE PROCESS OF TALKING WITH FORD ABOUT IT.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2015 FORD TAURUS. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE HIS WIFE WAS ATTEMPTING TO START THE VEHICLE, THE VEHICLE FAILED TO START. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THERE WERE NO WARNING LIGHTS ILLUMINATED. THE CONTACT STATED THAT AFTER RESEARCHING THE FAILURE HE BECAME AWARE OF NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 16V621000 (FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE). THE CONTACT STATED THAT HE REPLACED THE FUEL PUMP RELAY MODULE ON HIS OWN. JARRETT FORD, INC. LOCATED AT 38300 DICK JARRETT WAY, DADE CITY, FL 33525, WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS INFORMED OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 75,000.

The contact owns a 2015 Ford Taurus. The contact received notification of NHTSA Campaign Number: 25V695000 (Back Over Prevention). Prior to receiving the recall letter, the rearview camera was displaying either an upside-down, reversed, and backward image. The rearview camera later became totally inoperable. There were no warning lights illuminated. The vehicle was taken to a local Ford dealer, who confirmed the recall status. The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. The manufacturer was contacted, but no assistance was provided. The failure mileage was approximately 50,000.

WHILE DRIVING THE CAR. IT WAS NOTICED THAT THE VEHICLE WAS PUTTING OUT COOL AIR ONLY WHEN THE HEAT WAS ENGAGED. IT WOULD EVENTUALLY WARM A BIT BUT WOULD RETURN TO BLOWING COOL AIR ONLY. WHEN THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO A MECHANIC, IT WAS EXPLAINED THAT THE PROBLEM WAS THE WATER PUMP. WE WERE TOLD THAT THE DESIGN OF THE VEHICLE REQUIRES THE ENGINE TO BE REMOVED TO GET TO THE PUMP AND THE COST OF THE REPAIR WOULD BE IN EXCESS OF $2000. THE VEHICLE CANNOT BE DRIVEN IN ORDER TO PREVENT FURTHER DAMAGE

The Rear View Camera has not been working properly for 5-6 years. Sometimes it works to display what is behind he car and at other times there is a blank black screen displaying a message that it's not working. The vehicle is out of warranty, and my local auto mechanic informed me that the cost to investigate and repair it would be very expensive, and recommended against fixing it. It does pose a safety problem, but we have become diligent in looking carefully in the rear view mirror and directly by turning around to ensure that there is nothing behind the car. Also, the warning "beeps" still works when in reverse. I noted that Ford has had many previous recalls regarding the back-up cameras, and wonder how my car has not been included. Please check if there are any recalls that my vehicle would qualify for. Thank you.

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.
