2015 Ford Taurus

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.

ON A NUMBER OF OCCASIONS IN THE PAST 30 DAYS MY 2015 TAURUS HAS HAS A LOSS OF POWER TO THE STEERING SYSTEM WHICH MAKES IT DIFFICULT TO DRIVE IT HAPPENS AT LOW AND HIGH SPEEDS IT HAPPENED AT MY SONS GRADUATION IN A PARKING LOT FULL OF STUDENTS AND PARENTS AND COULD NOT STEER THE CAR IT ALSO HAPPENED ON A MAIN ROAD TRAVELING IN MY LANE AROUND A HARD TURN IN ROAD AND THE STEERING FAILED I STOPPED THE CAR ON THE SHOULDER BY SLAMMING ON THE BRAKES THANK GOD NO ONE WAS BEHIND ME AND IT HAPPENED AT THE GROCERY STORE TURNING INTO A PARKING SPOT ON 2 OCCASIONS THE WAY TO MAKE IT WORK AGAIN IS IF YOU TURN OFF CAR AND RESTART IT AND IT'S FINE TILL THE NEXT TIME A LIGHT COMES ON ON THE DASH THAT READS POWER STEERING SYSTEM FAILURE I CONTACTED FORD ABOUT THE PROBLEM AND I WAS TOLD THAT IT WASN'T COVERED UNDER WARRANTY AND THERE WAS NO RECALLS IN AND THAT IT NEEDED A NEW STEERING GEAR AND RACK AND IT WOULD COST ME 1500$ TO DO THE JOB I HAVE LOOKED INTO ANY RECALLS ONLINE AND THEY DID HAVE A RECALL ON A THE POWER STEERING ASSSIST ON EARLIER MODELS OF THE TAURUS 2012-2013 SO MAKES ME THINK THAT THEY KNOW THERE IS A PROBLEM AND WON'T ISSUE A RECALL ARE THEY WAITING FOR SOMEONE TO GET HURT OR POSSIBLY KILLED AS I SAID PREVIOUSLY THE POWER STEERING FAILS AT ALL SPEEDS AND GIVES NO INDICATION THAT IT IS ABOUT TO HAPPEN SOMETHING SHOULD BE DONE THANK YOU

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2015 FORD TAURUS. UPON ATTEMPTING TO START THE VEHICLE, IT FAILED TO START. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO THE CONTACT'S RESIDENCE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE FAILURE OCCURRED TWICE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT TAKEN TO A DEALER OR AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC FOR DIAGNOSTIC TESTING OR REPAIRS. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURES AND REFERRED THE CONTACT TO NHTSA. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 80,100. *TT

WINDSHIELD WASHER FLUID PUMP FAILURE AFTER 30K MILES ON THE VEHICLE. BEGAN BEING INTERMITTENT AFTER 20K MILES. REPLACED PUMP AND REMOVED PROTECTIVE COVER TO FIND CORRODED MOTOR WINDINGS. FAILIRE APPEARS TO BE CAUSED BY AN INTERNAL LEAK WITH IN THE PUMP ALLOWING THE WASHER FLUID TO ENTER THE ELECTRIC MOTOR PORTION OF THE PUMP. THIS IS A PARTICULAR HAZARD DURING THE WINTER MONTHS IF YOU CANNOT CLEAN SALT, DIRT AND OTHER DEBRIS OFF YOUR WINDSHIELD ,. PARTICULARLY DURING SUNNY DAYS.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2015 FORD TAURUS. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE WINDSHIELD WASHER FLUID PUMP FAILED TO FUNCTION. THE ELECTRICAL LINING AT THE TOP OF THE PUMP WAS RUSTED. THE PART WAS REPLACED BY THE CONTACT. THE DEALER WAS NOT CONTACTED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 30,000.

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.

2015 FORD TAURUS/APPROX 7850MILES ON CAR/6 MONTHS OLD....VEHICLE WENT INTO LIMP HOME MODE AT HIGHWAY SPEED. ESPECIALLY IN THE HANDS OF A LESS EXPERIENCED DRIVER, THIS COULD CAUSE MAJOR CONFUSION, AND POSSIBLY A MAJOR REAR END COLLISION AND IT IS A SAFETY CONCERN THAT PROVES THIS PROBLEM STILL EXISTS WITH THIS PART, EVEN THOUGH THE NHTSA HAS "CLOSED THE FILE" AND ACCEPTED FORD'S EXPLANATION. THE NHTSA SHOULD RE-OPEN THIS FILE AND INVESTIGATE. THE FOLKS AT FORD SERVICE SEEM TO BE ALL TOO FAMILIAR WITH THIS PROBLEM. FORD MUST BE HELD ACCOUNTABLE FOR THESE POTENTIALLY LIFE THREATENING SITUATIONS CAUSED BY THESE PARTS AND THEY MUST BE FORCED TO PERFORM A FULL SCALE RECALL ON PART AT4Z-9E926-B (THROTTLE BODY)
