2015 Ford Taurus

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2015 FORD TAURUS. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE VEHICLE WOULD NOT START. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO KRAPOHL FORD & LINCOLN (1415 E PICKARD RD, MT PLEASANT, MI 48858, 1-800-772-5974) WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE ENGINE FUEL MODULE FAILED. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED AND STATED THAT THE VIN WAS NOT INCLUDED IN A RECALL. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 55,000.

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.

'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.

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.

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.

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.

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

I PURCHASED A 2015 FORD TAURUS WITH 34,000 MILES ON IT THE BEGINNING OF OCTOBER 2015. ABOUT A MONTH AGO I HAD A PROBLEM WITH THE VEHICLE STALLING OUT AND THEN NOT STARTING. I SPOKE TO SOMEONE AT THE LOCAL FORD DEALERSHIP AND WAS TOLD TO RESET THE FUEL PUMP RELAY. AFTER DOING THAT THE CAR CRANKED FINE. I DID ONLINE RESEARCH OF THE VEHICLE AND DISCOVERED THAT THE 2013 TO 2015 FUEL PUMP RELAY ON MANY OF THE SAME VEHICLES HAVE BEEN RECALLED. I SEARCHED MY VIN NUMBER AND FOUND THAT MY PARTICULAR VEHICLE WAS NOT A PART OF THE RECALL. IN MY RESEARCH I ALSO FOUND OUT THAT THIS PARTICULAR PART SHUTS OFF THE FUEL SUPPLY IN THE EVENT OF AN ACCIDENT TO PREVENT FIRE OR EXPLOSION. AND ALSO THAT USUALLY THIS PART LASTS THROUGHOUT THE LIFETIME OF A VEHICLE UNLESS IT IS FAULTY. TWO DAYS AGO THE CAR STALLED AND AGAIN WILL NOT CRANK I TRIED TO RESET THE FUEL PUMP RELAY AGAIN BUT IT WILL STILL NOT GREA TO PREVENT FIRE OR EXPLOSION. AND ALSO THAT USUALLY THIS PART LASTS THROUGHOUT THE LIFETIME OF A VEHICLE UNLESS IT IS FAULTY. TWO DAYS AGO THE CAR STALLED AND AGAIN WILL NOT CRANK I TRIED TO RESET THE FUEL PUMP RELAY AGAIN BUT IT WILL STILL NOT CRANK. I HAVE BEEN TOLD BY A FORD MECHANIC THAT IT IS A FAULTY FUEL PUMP RELAY. I CONTACTED FORD AGAIN TO QUESTION IF THIS PART SHOULD HAVE BEEN MADE PART OF THE RECALLED BECAUSE THIS VEHICLE WAS BUILT DURING THE SAME TIME THAT THE RECALLED RELAYS WERE USED. I WAS TOLD BY FORD CUSTOMER SERVICE THAT THE NATIONAL HIGHWAY TRAFFIC AND SAFETY ADMINISTRATION AND THE ENGINEERING DEPARTMENT OF FORD NEED TO BE CONTACTED TO FURTHER HELP ME IN THIS MATTER TO DETERMINE IF THIS PART SHOULD HAVE IN FACT BEEN ADDED TO THE RECALL LIST. THANK YOU FOR YOUR TIME AND ATTENTION.
