2015 Ford Taurus

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.

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.

I WAS PARKED IN MY APARTMENT COMPLEX PARKINGS. I WAS CHARGING MY PHONE IN THE CAR WHILE THE ENGINE IS OFF. THE RADIO AS WELL AS THE INTERIOR LIGHTS WERE ON FOR APPROXIMATELY 45 MINS. THEN, I TRIED TO START THE ENGINE, BUT IT DID NOT START. IT WAS GIVING A WEIRD SOUND THAT IS SCARY TO ME, THE OWNER. SO, I LEFT IT AS IS FOR THE NIGHT. I AM NOW REPORTING THIS PROBLEM BECAUSE WHEN I ENTERED MY VEHICLE'S VIN NUMBER, THE WEBSITE STATED THAT IT DOES NOT HAVE ANY RECALLS IN IT. I KNOW THAT 2015 FORD TAURUS HAS THIS RECALL PROBLEM, BUT FOR SOME REASON, MY CAR IS NOT INCLUDED WITH THESE CARS. *TR

WHILE DRIVING MY VEHICLE HOME FROM WORK THE ENGINE BEGAN SHUDDERING, SURGING, AND FINALLY DIED LEAVING ME STRANDED ON THE SIDE OF THE ROAD CAUSING POTENTIAL HAZARD FOR MYSELF AS WELL AS OTHER DRIVERS. I TOWED THE VEHICLE TO MY MECHANIC WHO TOLD ME IT COULD BE EITHER THE HIGH PRESSURE FUEL PUMP OR THE FUEL PUMP CONTROL MODULE. THE VEHICLE ONLY HAS 61,000 MILES ON IT MAKING IT JUST OUTSIDE THE MANUFACTURER'S 60,000 MILE WARRANTY. FORD REFUSED TO EXTEND ANY KIND OF WARRANTY WHEN THE MECHANIC CALLED. WHEN I CHECKED THE ISSUE ONLINE I LEARNED OF A 2016 FORD RECALL REGARDING THE FUEL PUMP CONTROL MODULE FOR 2013-2015 FORD VEHICLES WHICH APPARENTLY DOES NOT COVER MY CAR. BOTH THE MECHANIC AND I ARE BAFFLED THAT A FUEL PUMP COULD SUDDENLY FAIL WITH ONLY 61,000 MILES ON THE VEHICLE AND HE WAS VERY SURPRISED THAT FORD WOULD NOT DO ANYTHING TO EVEN ASSIST WITH THE COST OF THE REPAIR. AS FAR AS THE FUEL PUMP CONTROL MODULE, I AM STILL IN THE PROCESS OF TALKING WITH FORD ABOUT IT.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2014 FORD TAURUS. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE FUEL PUMP MODULE FAILED. THE CONTACT PURCHASED THE PART AT FRAMINGHAM FORD DEALER, (1200 WORCESTER RD, FRAMINGHAM, MA 01702,) AND WAS TAKEN TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC WHERE THE FUEL PUMP MODULE WAS REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT TAKEN TO A DEALER. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE AND REFERRED THE CONTACT TO NHTSA. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 89,000.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2015 FORD TAURUS. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE HIS WIFE WAS ATTEMPTING TO START THE VEHICLE, THE VEHICLE FAILED TO START. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THERE WERE NO WARNING LIGHTS ILLUMINATED. THE CONTACT STATED THAT AFTER RESEARCHING THE FAILURE HE BECAME AWARE OF NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 16V621000 (FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE). THE CONTACT STATED THAT HE REPLACED THE FUEL PUMP RELAY MODULE ON HIS OWN. JARRETT FORD, INC. LOCATED AT 38300 DICK JARRETT WAY, DADE CITY, FL 33525, WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS INFORMED OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 75,000.
