2015 Ford Taurus

I was driving with my wife on the highway on June 26th, 2021. As I was going around a turn to the right I had a warning come up saying to service advance trac. Right as that happened my steering wheel locked up straight almost causing me to crash. I do not know what could have caused this. I have gotten both my battery and alternator checked and they both are completely fine. I am getting my recall taken care of on Thursday July the 6th so it will be looked over then to see what may have been the cause of it but a toe link would not cause something like this to happen. Ive asked family members that have been mechanics for over 10 years that don’t know what could have caused that to happen.

The contact owns a 2015 Ford Taurus. The contact stated while her husband was driving 40 MPH, the vehicle stalled without warning. The contact's husband had to physically push the vehicle to the side of the roadway. The vehicle was towed to an independent mechanic. The independent mechanic initially diagnosed the vehicle with a defective fuel pump. The fuel pump was replaced however, the failure recurred twice after the replacement. On the third failure, the modulator was replaced due to the modulator over heating the fuel pump. Upon investigation, the mechanic informed the contact of NHTSA Campaign Number: 16V621000 (Fuel System, Gasoline) however, the VIN was not included. The manufacturer was notified of the failure and confirmed that the VIN was not under recall. The vehicle was repaired. The failure mileage was approximately 100,000.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2015 FORD TAURUS. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING AT AN UNKNOWN SPEED, THE VEHICLE STALLED WITHOUT WARNING. THE CONTACT PULLED OFF TO THE SIDE OF THE ROADWAY AND RESTARTED THE VEHICLE TO RESUME NORMAL DRIVING. ADDITIONALLY, THE CONTACT ALSO STATED THAT THE VEHICLE FAILED ON SEVERAL OCCASIONS TO START-UP AFTER MULTIPLE ATTEMPTS. DUE TO THE FAILURE, THE CONTACT HAD THE VEHICLE TOWED TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC WHERE THEY DISCOVERED THAT THE VEHICLE HAD A DEFECTIVE FUEL PUMP WHICH THE CONTACT HAD REPLACED. HOWEVER RECENTLY, WHILE DRIVING 44 MPH THE FAILURE RETURNED AND THE VEHICLE STALLED WITHOUT WARNING. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE AND INFORMED HIM THAT THE VIN WAS NOT INCLUDED IN NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 16V621000 (FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE). NO FURTHER ASSISTANCE WAS PROVIDED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT YET REPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 73,436.

TWICE THE POWER WENT OFF ON MY CAR WHILE DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY. I WAS LUCKY TO BE ABLE TO PULL OFF THE ROAD. WAITED A FEW MINUTES AND GOT POWER BACK. THE CAR MAKES NOISE WHEN GOING DOWN THE ROAD, AND I HAVE ALWAYS BEEN TOLD THAT THE FORD TAURUS DOES THIS. THEY SAID NOTHING WAS WRONG. THE NOISE IS WHERE YOU WONDER IF YOU ARE SAFE, AND PROBABLY WOULD NEVER FIND A BUYER FOR THE VEHICLE. THE CAR SOUNDS LIKE AN ELECTRICAL PROBLEM SOMETIMES FROM THE RADIO, AND WHEN I USE THE PHONE. WEIRD. THE BLUE LIGHTS ON THE DASH BOARD CAN BE BLINDING. HAD MY EYES CHECKED BY A SPECIALIST AND NOT MY EYES. ONE TIME I HAD LEFT MY CAR RUNNING IN PARK IN THE DRIVEWAY AND WHEN WALKING AROUND TO THE OTHER SIDE OF THE CAR, THE CAR ROLLED OUT OF MY DRIVEWAY AND DAMAGED THE DOOR ON THE GARAGE DOOR. OBVIOUSLY THE CAR LOSING POWER TWICE ON A HIGHWAY IS A SERIOUS ISSUE. THIS HAPPENED TWO YEARS AGO, AND TWO MONTHS AGO WAS THE SECOND TIME.

I WAS DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY (395 SOUTH). CAR JUST STALLED. NO POWER NOTHING. ALMOST CAUSED ACCIDENT. I WAS LUCKY TO PULL ON THE THE SHOULDER. I AM FAMILIAR WITH THE ISSUE OCCURRED ON LINCOLN/ FORD. EVEN THOUGH THERE IS RECALL FOR CERTAIN MODELS FOR FUEL PUMP RELAY MODULE, FORD DENIES IT AND PUT MY LIFE AND OTHERS IN DANGER. MY WIFE CAME PICKED ME UP AND WENT AUTOPART STORE AND GOT THE PART, INSTALLED IT. BACK ON THE ROAD...
