2014 Ford Taurus

HAD MY RACK AND PINION REPLACED BACK IN 11/18/2019, AND NOW THE SAME PROBLEM HAS OCCURED AGAIN. ON, APRIL 28TH I HAD A RECALL FOR THE HANDSHAFT FIXED AT THE LOCAL DEALERSHIP. TWO DAYS LATER WHILE DRIVING MY STEERING COLUMN LOCKED WHILE TRYING TO MAKE A LEFT TURN TO ANOTHER STREET. AND AN ALERT STATING "STEERING ASSIST FAULT SERVICE REQUIRED" "SERVICE ADVANCE TRAC" FLASHED IN INFO CENTER. I AM CONCERNED BECAUSE THIS WAS A RECALL THAT OCCURED ON PREVIOUS MODELS AND THE RECALL ENDED WITH THE 2013 MODEL. OBVIOUSLY THE PROBLEM IS STILL OCCURING WITH THIS ELECTRICAL PART AND HAS YET TO BE ADDRESSED WITH FORD. NOT ONLY IS THIS A INCONVIENCE IT'S A SAFETY HAZARD AS WELL. I WAS IN TRAFFIC WHEN THIS OCCURED AND LUCKILY TRAFFIC WAS LIGHT WHEN THIS OCCURED BECAUSE THIS COULD HAVE ENDED WAY WORSE..

BACK UP CAMERA GLITCHES EITHER UPSIDE DOWN, ALL BLACK, OR BLUE. SAYING VISIT DEALERSHIP. THIS EFFECT THE SENSORS WHEN BACKING UP. MULTIPLE PEOPLE HAVE THIS PROBLEM WITH THE 6TH GENERATION FORD TAURUS. WHEN YOU GO TO THE DEALERSHIP THEY TELL YOU IT'S A $250 PART WITH A ADDITIONAL $50 LABOR. FORD KNOWS THIS IS A PROBLEM, I PERSONALLY THINK IT SHOULD BE RECALLED.

THE FUEL PUMP CONTROL MODULE IS FAILING, WHICH IS CAUSING THE ENGINE TO NOT START AND OR KEEPS STALLING WHEN TURNING THE KEY. MY MECHANIC GAVE ME THE RECALL AND DIRECTED ME TO MY NEAREST FORD DEALERSHIP, BUT WHEN GIVEN THE VIN NUMBER THEY SAID THERE IS 0 RECALLS ON MY VEHICLE. THEREFOR THIS RECALL IS VIN SPECIFIC AND WILL NOT COVER MY REPAIRS. THE MECHANIC DID AGREE THIS IS A PROBLEM WITH THE MAKE AND MODEL BUT NOT SPECIFIC TO MY VEHICLE. UPSETTING AND CONFUSED WHY MY VEHICLE IS NOT INCLUDED IN THIS RECALL.

MY FUEL PUMP WENT BAD. MY VEHICLE IS NO LONGER OPERATING AND I THINK THAT THE FUEL PUMP FOR MY SPECIFIC VEHICLE NEEDS TO BE INVESTIGATED FOR A RECALL. NHTSA CAMPAIGN ID: 16V621000 REPORT DATE: AUGUST 25, 2016 VEHICLES AFFECTED: 77,502 CONSEQUENCE: A LOSS OF POWER TO THE FUEL PUMP WILL CAUSE THE ENGINE TO STALL OR PREVENT THE VEHICLE FROM STARTING, INCREASING THE RISK OF A CRASH WHAT YOU SHOULD DO: FORD WILL NOTIFY OWNERS, AND DEALERS WILL INSPECT THE FUEL PEM PART NUMBER AND REPLACE THE FUEL PEM, AS NECESSARY, FREE OF CHARGE. THE RECALL BEGAN ON DECEMBER 1, 2016. OWNERS MAY CONTACT FORD CUSTOMER SERVICE AT 1-866-436-7332. FORD'S NUMBER FOR THIS RECALL IS 16S31. SUMMARY: 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.

VEHICLE STALLED WHILE DRIVING, UNABLE TO RESTART. DUE TO LOSS OF POWER, LOST THE ABILITY TO BRAKE AND STEER EASILY. I WAS ON A CITY STREET AND ENTERING AN INTERSECTION WHEN I LOST POWER. THERE IS AN EXISTING SAFETY RECALL NOTICE: 16S31 FOR 2013-2015 FORD TAURUS MADE IN CHICAGO WHICH MY VEHICLE WAS. MY DEALER IS ADVISING THAT MY VIN IS NOT PART OF THAT CAMPAIGN THOUGH ALL ITEMS FITS THE RECALL. MY CAR IS A TAURUS, IT IS A 2014, IT WAS MADE IN CHICAGO AND THE PART FAILED WHILE DRIVING WHICH COULD HAVE RESULTED IN A CRASH.

WAS PULLING UP TO A STOPLIGHT IN TOWN, THE IN DASH LIT UP WITH "ELECTRIC STEERING ASSIST FAIL" AND MY STEERING WHEEL STIFFENED UP AS IF I LOST POWER STEERING, I STOPPED, CYCLED THE KEY AND THE POWER STEERING RETURNED. THERE WAS NO PRIOR WARNING OR IN DASH LIGHTS TO THIS INCIDENT. A WEEK WENT BY WITH NO INCIDENT OR SIGN OF TROUBLE. WAS REVERSING OUT OF A PARKING SPOT 7 DAYS LATER AND THE SAME PROBLEM OCCURRED. I CYCLED THE KEY AGAIN, AND THE PROBLEM WENT AWAY. I JUST LEFT THE FORD SERVICE CENTER AND AND THEY PULLED THE CODE C200D:49. SINCE THE LATEST INCIDENT, THERE HAS BEEN NO PROBLEM. I DECLINED THE REPAIRS AS THEY WERE $2200 AND I KNOW FORD HAS RECALLED PREVIOUS YEARS OF MY VEHICLE FOR THE SAME EXACT PROBLEM.

CAR WOULD NOT START. AFTER TWO SEPARATE TOWS TO DEALERSHIP, FUEL PUMP DRIVER MODULE WAS FOUND TO BE FAULTY AND WAS REPLACED. THIS PART WAS RECALLED ON OTHER 2014 TAURUS' IN RELATION TO 16V62100. THE FAULTY PART FROM MY VEHICLE MATCHES THE NUMBERS IN THE RECALL LETTER FORD MOTOR CO. SENT TO DEALERSHIPS. FORD AND LOCAL DEALERSHIP ARE DEIGNING REIMBURSEMENT FOR THIS REPAIR
