2015 Ford Taurus

I was not notified from Ford about the serious safety recall on my 2015 Ford Taurus. I'd like to have this safety concern fixed immediately so I don't end up in a severe auto accident. I can drop my vehicle off. I've never had this happen and I'm nervous to drive the vehicle. I have noticed a difference in the way it drives please help get this sorted out with my local Ford Dealership in Fort Myers, FL. Thank you!

I AM SEMI SKILLED TECHNICIAN CURRENTLY WORKING ON WALSER TOYOTA BLOOMINGTON. I GOT A RECALL LETTER CALLED 20S04, AND I TOOK MY CAR TO INVER GROVE FORD MN. AFTER I GOT THE SERVICE MY CAR START TO CREAT WEIRD MOTION AND UNUSUAL VEHICLE HANDLING IN HIGHWAY SPEED AND LOCAL SPEED.SOMETIMES HARD TO CONTROL THE VEHICLE. I TOOK IT BACK TO INVER GROVE FORD AND THEY TOLD ME THE STABILIZER LINK WORN. I REPLACED IT BY MY SELF AND THE PROBLEM IS STILL THERE. EVEN GETTING WORST EVERY DAY.

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.

FROM DRIVER ' ' I DISCOVERED THE CAR EITHER CAUGHT FIRE INSIDE OR THE DOOR PANEL EXPLODED. I OBSERVED NO VISIBLE DAMAGE UPON MY RETURN TO FLETC ON MONDAY 9/9; TODAY 9/12 WAS UNABLE TO OPEN THE DRIVER'S SIDE DOOR, RESPONDED TO THE PASSENGER SIDE OF THE VEHICLE AND OBSERVED THE DRIVER'S SIDE AIRBAGS DEPLOYED, SMELL OF BURNT MATERIALS, AND DAMAGE ON THE DRIVER'S SIDE CONSISTENT WITH A FIRE/EXPLOSION. EXTERIOR OF THE VEHICLE IS STILL INTACT, CAR IS NOT OPERABLE." *TR

I BEGAN HAVING ISSUES WITH MY 2016 FORD TAURUS SEL WHERE MY BACK LEFT DOOR WOULD NOT OPEN. THE ELECTRONIC SYSTEM IN THE CAR WAS NOT DISTRIBUTING ANY POWER TO THE BACK DOOR TO ALLOW IT TO OPEN. THE LOCKING KNOB WOULD NOT RISE OR LOWER USING THE LOCKING SYSTEM INSIDE THE CAR OR THE KEY FOB. SHORTLY THERE AFTER, THE OTHER REAR PASSENGER DOOR ON THE RIGHT SIDE BEGAN HAVING THE SAME ISSUE. CURRENTLY BOTH OF MY REAR DOORS CANNOT BE OPENED ELECTRONICALLY. I PHYSICALLY HAVE TO LEAN IN THE BACK OF THE VEHICLE AND RAISE THE LOCKING KNOB TO OPEN THE DOOR. PULLING THE DOOR HANDLE FROM INSIDE THE CAR WILL NOT OPEN THE DOOR. IT HAS NO RESISTANCE TO THE HANDLE WHATSOEVER. THE ONLY WAY TO OPEN THE LOCKED DOOR IS TO PHYSICALLY PULL UP THE LOCKING NOB NEAR THE WINDOW. THIS HAS CREATED DIFFICULTY IN ME TRANSPORTING ANY PASSENGERS AND IS EXTREMELY INCONVENIENT TO PLACE ANYTHING IN THE BACK SEAT. THE INABILITY TO LOCK THE BLACK DOORS WITH THE KEY FOB OR ELECTRONIC SYSTEM IN THE CAR HAS RESULTED IN THE DOOR BEING LEFT UNLOCKED IF NOT THE LOCKING KNOB IS NOT PHYSICALLY PUSHED DOWN EVERY TIME. I TOOK MY VEHICLE TO A LOCAL MECHANIC WHO INFORMED ME THAT I WOULD NEED A NEW DOOR LOCK ACTUATOR ON BOTH REAR DOORS BUT THAT IT HAD TO BE DONE AT A FORD DEALERSHIP. I CALLED FORD AND THEY INFORMED ME THAT THE DOORS WOULD NEED TO BE REPROGRAMMED AFTER INSTALLING THE DOOR LOCK ACTUATORS TO ENSURE THE DOORS ARE PROPERLY SYNCED TO THE ELECTRONICA SYSTEM OF THE CAR. THE COST OF THIS IS OVER OVER $500 PER DOOR AND I HAVE NO OTHER OPTIONS TO FIX THIS PROBLEM. I HAVE HAD PRIOR ISSUES WITH MY 2010 FORD TAURUS WHERE THE BACK DOOR WOULD NOT OPEN AND HAD TO PAY ABOUT $500 FOR A REAR DOOR ACTUATOR TO BE INSTALLED AND SYNCED. THE USABILITY OF THE DOORS DOES NOT CHANGE WHEN THE CAR IS OFF, ON, PARKED, OR IN MOTION. MY PASSENGERS COULD POTENTIALLY BE AT RISK AND THE COST OF REPAIR MAKES THIS ISSUE CONTINUING.

CAR STALLS WITHOUT WARNING WHILE DRIVING. HAS HAPPENED TWICE SINCE I BOUGHT THE CAR THIS SPRING. ONCE I WAS COMPLETING A TURN FROM A STOP THE OTHER TIME I WAS DOING A CONSISTENT SPEED OF ABOUT 40MPH. NO WARNING LIGHTS BEFORE OR AFTER, JUST A NOTIFICATION THE 'TRANSMISSION NOT IN PARK' ONCE THE CAR WASN'T RUNNING. EACH TIME THE DEALER PUT IT ON THE COMPUTER AND SAID THERE IS NO ISSUE FOUND. THERE IS A RECALL FOR 2013-1015 TAURUS HOWEVER MY VIN ISN'T INCLUDED IN THE FUEL PUMP ELECTRIC MODULE REPLACEMENT THOUGH STALLING IS AN ISSUE CITED IN THAT RECALL. DEALER SAYS THERE IS NO PROBLEM WITH THE FUEL PUMP ELECTRIC MODULE BECAUSE THE COMPUTER SAYS SO. I LEFT MY CAR AT THE DEALERSHIP FOR ABOUT 3 WEEKS THINKING IT MIGHT BE AN ELECTRICAL PROBLEM SINCE THE GPS INTERMITTENTLY DOESN'T WORK THE PANIC ALARM GOES OFF MULTIPLE TIMES A WEEK FOR NO REASON. DEALER SUGGESTS REPLACING THE SD CARD. I AM AFRAID TO DRIVE MY CAR, ESPECIALLY WITH THE DEATHS RECENTLY FROM CARS STALLING. I WILL MOST LIKELY PAY OUT OF POCKET TO CHANGE THE FUEL PUMP ELECTRIC MODULE AS I CAN'T AVOID THE HIGHWAY FOREVER. I WILL BE HAPPY TO SEND YOU THE PART ONCE IT IS REPLACED IF IT WILL HELP INVESTIGATE THE PROBLEM. HOPEFULLY THAT WILL SOLVE THE PROBLEM, OTHERWISE I AM NOT SURE WHAT TO DO. HELP PLEASE! I DON'T HAVE POLICE REPORTS OR ACCIDENT PHOTOS THANKFULLY.

WHILE DRIVING AT 65 MPH ON BUSY ROAD, VEHICLE LOST POWER. WAS ABLE TO COAST TO SIDE OF ROAD. VEHICLE WOULD NOT ACCELERATE. VERY DANGEROUS SITUATION. NO IWARNING/INDICATORS OF ANY PROBLEMS BEFORE LOSS OF ACCELERATION. ONLY INDICATOR THAT CAME ON AFTER WAS MAINTENANCE INDICATOR WHICH DISAPPEARED AFTER RESTART.. PLACED THE VEHICLE IN PARK AND RESTARTED. VEHICLE FINE AFTER RESTARTING. NOTICED THIS VEHICLE AND YEAR HAD A SAFETY RECALL 16S31 FOR MODELS BUILT IN CHICAGO. I CHECKED MY VIN. NOT INCLUDED IN RECALL, HOWEVER I HAVE A FORD TAURUS 3.5 LITER BUILT AT THE CHICAGO PLANT. NOT SURE WHY I WASN'T INCLUDED IN SAFETY RECALL IF VEHICLE IS EXPERIENCING THIS ISSUE. VERY DANGEROUS SITUATION TO LOOSE POWER ESPECIALLY ON BUSY FREEWAYS.
