2015 Ford Taurus

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2015 FORD TAURUS. THE CONTACT STATED WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 10 MPH AFTER MOVING OFF FROM A TRAFFIC LIGHT, THE VEHICLE JERKED WHILE THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL WAS DEPRESSED HOWEVER, THE VEHICLE DECELERATED INDEPENDENTLY. THE RPM DECREASED AND THE VEHICLE STALLED WITHOUT WARNING. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC WHO DIAGNOSED THAT THE FUEL PUMP MODULE FAILED AND NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE CONTACT STATED THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED. THE CONTACT CONTACTED YANKEE FORD (165 WATERMAN DR, SOUTH PORTLAND, ME 04106, (207) 799-5591) AND WAS INFORMED THAT THE VEHICLE WAS NOT INCLUDED IN NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 16V621000 (FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE). 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.

VEHICLE WAS PARKED IN A PARKING LOT AND WOULD CRANK, BUT NOT START RANDOMLY. THERE IS A RECALL FOR THIS PART ON OTHER 2015 FORD TAURUS, BUT APPARANTLY NOT FOR MY SPECIFIC MODEL, WHICH I FIND STRANGE. THE NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER IS 16V621000. IT SAYS IT INCLUDES THE 2015 FORD TAURUS AWD, WHICH MY VEHICLE IS. 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.

MY CAR RUNS FINE BEFORE I FILL UP WITH GAS. THEN STUTTERS LIKE IT DOESNT WANT TO START AFTER. IT HAS DONE THIS SINCE I PURCHASED IT 2 YEARS AGO. TODAY ON MY WAY TO WORK. IT STUTTERED AND A LIGHT WITH A WRENCH CAME ON AND THEN SHUT OFF. WOULD DO ANYTHING. I WAITED A FEW MINUTES THEN IT STARED RIGHT BACK UP. I SEE THAT THERE ARE SOME RECALLS FOR 215 TAURUS BUT MINE IS NOT INCLUDED.

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

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.

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
