2013 Ford Taurus

POWER STEERING IN MY VEHICLE WENT OUT IN MY VEHICLE WHILE DRIVING ON THE FREEWAY. I DID A BUNCH OF RESEARCH ON 2013 FORD TAURUS AND DISCOVERED THERE WAS A RECALL ISSUED BY THE MANUFACTURER TUER BUT MY VIN WAS NOT COVERED. I READ IN SEVERAL FORUMS THAT THIS IS HAPPENING TO HUNDREDS OF OTHER WITH THE SAME MAKE AND MODEL, ALL TYPICALLY HAPPENING IN THE 80K -100K MILEAGE. SEVERAL ATTEMPTS WERE MADE BY MYSELF AND THE DEALER TO DOING THE REPAIR TO GET ASSISTANCE AND I WAS JUST GIVEN THE RUN AROUND OVER AND OVER, EVERY PERSON I SPOKE TO HAD A DIFFERENT ANSWER OR INFORMATION. THE DEALER NEVER RECEIVED A RESPONSE FROM THE MANUFACTURER, SO I PAID THE $3100 IN FULL. I CONFIRMED WITH THE DEALER THIS WAS THE EXACT PART THAT NEEDED TO BE REPLACED IN RECALL 15V340000 THAT MY VEHICLE WAS NOT COVERED UNDER. I STRONGLY BELIEVE THEY MISSED A LARGE SECTION OF VIN'S THAT WERE AFFECTED AND WE ARE HAVING TO PAY TO REPLACE THE PARTS OR OUR VEHICLES ARE JUST LEFT UN ABLE TO DRIVE.

ON NIGHT OF OCTOBER 8,2019 I WAS DRIVING VEHICLE (2013 TAURUS) AND IT JUST LOST ACCELERATION. WRENCH LIGHT CAME ON AND I WAS LUCKY TO BE ABLE TO PULL TO SIDE OF ROAD DUE LIMITED TRAFFIC AT THAT TIME OF NIGHT. ONCE ON ROADSIDE I TURNED THE VEHICLE OFF AND IT RESTARTED AND NO WARNING LIGHTS CAME ON. I PROCEEDED TO DRIVE THE VEHICLE THE SHORT DISTANCE TO MY HOME WITH NO FURTHER PROBLEMS. THE FOLLOWING MORNING I TOOK VEHICLE TO NEARBY SERVICE CENTER. THEY CHECKED FOR CODES BUT NOTHING SHOWED UP. THEY STATED THAT THE THROTTLE BODY APPEARED DIRTY AND SUBSTANTIALLY HAD THEM CLEAN IT. ON OCTOBER 10 THIS TIME WHILE TRAVELING ON A HIGH AT APPROXIMATELY 55/60MPH THE VEHICLE JUST DIED AGAIN/ LOSING ALL POWER TO THE ACCELERATOR. HOW AN ACCIDENT DIDN'T OCCUR IS BEYOND ME. VEHICLE WAS RETURNED TO SERVICE CENTER AND WHEN VEHICLE WAS STARTED THERE NO WARNING LIGHTS APPEARED ALTHOUGH A SUBSEQUENT CHECK OF CODES THIS TIME REVEALED THROTTLE BODY PROBLEM. UPON RESEARCHING ISSUE THERE HAVE BEEN SEVERAL SIMILAR INCIDENTS WITH VARIED IDEAS (POWERTRAIN SENSOR / THROTTLE BODY) AS TO THE CAUSE OF PROBLEM. BUT WHEN TRAVELING ON A HIGHWAY AND THE VEHICLE COMPLETELY LOSES ACCELERATION AND GOES IN TO CREEP MODE IS A SERIOUS SAFETY ISSUE

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2013 FORD TAURUS. WHILE DRIVING VARIOUS SPEEDS, THE VEHICLE DECELERATED, STALLED, AND THE MAINTENANCE VEHICLE WARNING INDICATOR ILLUMINATED. WHEN THE VEHICLE WAS RESTARTED, IT OPERATED NORMALLY. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO ACADEMY FORD (13401 BALTIMORE AVE, LAUREL, MD 20707, (800) 658-7794), BUT THE CAUSE OF THE FAILURE COULD NOT BE DETERMINED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE AND A CASE NUMBER WAS PROVIDED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 130,000.

WHILE DRIVING VARIOUS SPEEDS, THE VEHICLE WILL JUST SHUT OFF IN THE MIDDLE OF TRAFFIC AND SHOW A WRENCH LIGHT ON THE DASH. THIS HAS HAPPENED 4 TIMES (TWICE IN THE LAST WEEK) ON MY 2013 FORD TAURUS LIMITED. I CAN START THE CAR AGAIN AFTER ABOUT 20 SECONDS BUT THIS IS A VERY DANGEROUS DEFECT THAT HAS MANY COMPLAINTS. I'M LUCKY NO ONE HAS CRASHED INTO THE BACK OF ME. THIS IS MY FIRST AND LAST FORD.

TAKATA RECALLI AM THE OWNER OF A 2013 FORD TAURUS THAT I BOUGHT IN 2016. IT WAS A 1 OWNER NO ACCIDENTS AND 36000 MILES ON IT. I WAS NEVER INFORMED OF ANY RECALLS BY FORD OR THE DEALERSHIP. YOUR WEBSITE SAYS IT WAS FIXED SO I CANNOT SEE WHAT RECALL OUT OF THE EIGHT IT HAS. I WAS DRIVING TO WORK ONE MORNING DOING MAYBE 15MPH AROUND A RIGHT HAND TURN, WHEN MY PASSENGER SIDE TIRE ALMOST FELL OFF FROM BEING DISCONNECTED AT THE HALF SHAFT AND LINK SHAFT. MY TRACTION STABILITY LIGHT CAME ON AND I LOST CALL CONTROL OF THE VEHICLE. I ENDED UP HITTING A TRAFFIC LIGHT. I HAD MINIMAL COSMETIC DAMAGE TO THE VEHICLE. BUT DUE TO ALL OF THE POWERTRAIN WORK NEEDING TO BE DONE FROM THIS THE BILL WAS OVER 5000$. I HAD TO CLAIM IT ON INSURANCE AND NOW I'VE BEEN PAYING 5000$ A YEAR OR INSURANCE ON A CAR WORTH MAYBE 8000. I DID NOT KNOW ABOUT THESE RECALLS UNTIL RECENTLY AND I AM UPSET I WAS NEVER NOTIFIED BECAUSE IF I WAS DOING THE SPEED LIMIT AT 55. I WOULD BE DEAD. THIS IS A HIDE SAFETY CONCERN OF MINE. I STILL HAVE THE REPAIR BILLS AND FOR HITTING A STOPLIGHT AT ROUGHLY 5MPH COULD NOT HAVE CAUSE THAT MUCH DAMAGE.

80,200 MILES - DURING A 2 HOUR DRIVE ON THE INTERSTATE GOING 80MPH, MY TRANSMISSION LOST THE LOW GEARS. AS I TRIED TO SLOW DOWN IN CONSTRUCTION, MY CAR EXPERENCED LOUD HARD JOLTING SHIFTS WHEN IT ATTEMPTED TO DOWNSHIFT, BOUNCING MY MOTHER'S HEAD OFF THE DASH. IT WAS SUPER SLUGGISH LIKE FOLLOWING AND HARD TO BRING IT TO A STOP. WHEN STOPPED AND SHIFTING THROUGH THE GEARS YOU COULD HEAR IT SLAM INTO GEAR A FEW SECONDS AFTER SHIFTING INTO DRIVE. RESULTED IN A COSTLY TRANSMISSION REPLACEMENT.

TAKATA RECALLS. WHILE DRIVING SOMETIMES THE STEERING STIFFEN UP MAKING THE CAR HARD TO CONTROL WHILE DRIVING AND PARKING THEN VEHICLE ,THEN THE RACK AND PINON WENT OUT, MAKING LOUD NOISES . MAKING THE VEHICLE IMPOSSIBLE TO DRIVE. THERE IS ALSO AN ISSUE WITH TRANSFER CASE TO THE AWD THE SEALS ARE EASILY BREAKING MAKING THE TRANSMISSION FLUID LEAKING EVERYWHERE.
