2015 Ford Taurus

TAKATA RECALL MY 2015 FORD TAURUS KEEP GIVING ME THE SAME PROBLEMS AFTER I WENT TO A FORD DEALER AND PURCHASED THE FUEL PUMP MODULE AND REPLACE IT 3 WEEKS LATER THE CAR STALL WITH ME WHILE I WAS DRIVING ON THE THRUWAY. IN THIS MATTER I TRULY THINK THAT ITS UNSAFE TO DRIVE A VEHICLE WITH THAT TYPE OF PROBLEM, AND IT HAPPEN NOT JUST ONCE BUT THREE TIMES THE VEHICLE IS ONLY 2 YEARS OLD

I PURCHASED A 2015 FORD TAURUS WITH 34,000 MILES ON IT THE BEGINNING OF OCTOBER 2015. ABOUT A MONTH AGO I HAD A PROBLEM WITH THE VEHICLE STALLING OUT AND THEN NOT STARTING. I SPOKE TO SOMEONE AT THE LOCAL FORD DEALERSHIP AND WAS TOLD TO RESET THE FUEL PUMP RELAY. AFTER DOING THAT THE CAR CRANKED FINE. I DID ONLINE RESEARCH OF THE VEHICLE AND DISCOVERED THAT THE 2013 TO 2015 FUEL PUMP RELAY ON MANY OF THE SAME VEHICLES HAVE BEEN RECALLED. I SEARCHED MY VIN NUMBER AND FOUND THAT MY PARTICULAR VEHICLE WAS NOT A PART OF THE RECALL. IN MY RESEARCH I ALSO FOUND OUT THAT THIS PARTICULAR PART SHUTS OFF THE FUEL SUPPLY IN THE EVENT OF AN ACCIDENT TO PREVENT FIRE OR EXPLOSION. AND ALSO THAT USUALLY THIS PART LASTS THROUGHOUT THE LIFETIME OF A VEHICLE UNLESS IT IS FAULTY. TWO DAYS AGO THE CAR STALLED AND AGAIN WILL NOT CRANK I TRIED TO RESET THE FUEL PUMP RELAY AGAIN BUT IT WILL STILL NOT GREA TO PREVENT FIRE OR EXPLOSION. AND ALSO THAT USUALLY THIS PART LASTS THROUGHOUT THE LIFETIME OF A VEHICLE UNLESS IT IS FAULTY. TWO DAYS AGO THE CAR STALLED AND AGAIN WILL NOT CRANK I TRIED TO RESET THE FUEL PUMP RELAY AGAIN BUT IT WILL STILL NOT CRANK. I HAVE BEEN TOLD BY A FORD MECHANIC THAT IT IS A FAULTY FUEL PUMP RELAY. I CONTACTED FORD AGAIN TO QUESTION IF THIS PART SHOULD HAVE BEEN MADE PART OF THE RECALLED BECAUSE THIS VEHICLE WAS BUILT DURING THE SAME TIME THAT THE RECALLED RELAYS WERE USED. I WAS TOLD BY FORD CUSTOMER SERVICE THAT THE NATIONAL HIGHWAY TRAFFIC AND SAFETY ADMINISTRATION AND THE ENGINEERING DEPARTMENT OF FORD NEED TO BE CONTACTED TO FURTHER HELP ME IN THIS MATTER TO DETERMINE IF THIS PART SHOULD HAVE IN FACT BEEN ADDED TO THE RECALL LIST. THANK YOU FOR YOUR TIME AND ATTENTION.

2015 FORD TAURUS SEL 3.5L ECOBOOST FLEX FUEL HAS VIBRATIONS AT IDLE AND SPEEDS OF 60-70 MPH. VIBRATION DOES NOT ALWAYS OCCUR AT IDLE OR AT HIGH SPEEDS, USUALLY HAPPENS DURING DECELERATION, AND SOMETIMES HAPPENS AT LOW SPEEDS AS WELL. WAS TOLD BY FORD DEALER THAT OTHER SIMILAR MODELS WERE TEST DRIVEN TO COMPARE, AND THESE VIBRATIONS ARE NORMAL FOR SIMILAR CARS. I DROVE A 2011 FOR TAURUS SEL FOR 4 YEARS AND NEVER HAD ANY VIBRATIONS SO AM CERTAINLY NOT HAPPY WITH THE DEALER'S RESPONSE BUT THEY SAID SINCE NO CODES ARE POPPING UP THERE IS NOTHING THEY CAN DO, AND I TOOK IT TO A DIFFERENT FORD DEALER AND THEY WOULDN'T EVEN HAVE THE TECHNICIANS CHECK ANYTHING SINCE IT WASN'T VIBRATING AT THAT MOMENT

MY 2015 FORD TAURUS WITH THE 3.5L V6 WILL UNEXPECTEDLY STALL OUT WHILE DRIVING. THE CAR WILL GO INTO "LIMP HOME MODE" UNTIL YOU TURN THE CAR OFF. THIS HAS HAPPENED AT 70MPH AND AT 45MPH. THE DEALERSHIP UPDATED THE COMPUTER IN THE CAR AND COULDN'T FIND ANYTHING ELSE WRONG. A WEEK AND A HALF LATER THE CAR STARTS STALLING OUT AGAIN. THIS TIME I HAVE A OBDII HOOKED UP TO THE CAR AND THE CODE IS P2112 (THROTTLE ACTUATOR CONTROL). THE DEALERSHIP IS TOO BUSY THIS WEEK, SO I HAVE TO SEE WHAT THEY DO. FROM WHAT I'VE READ OTHER FORDS HAVE HAD THE SAME PROBLEM. THE CAR CURRENTLY HAS OVER 23,000 MILES ON IT.

THE CAR GETS AN ALARM AND POWER STEERING STOPS WORKING. THE CAR IS VERY DIFFICULT TO TURN AT SLOW SPEEDS AND IS A WORK OUT AT ROAD SPEEDS DEPENDING ON DEGREE OF TURN. THERE ARE TWO ALARMS PRESENT. "STEERING ASSIST FAULT SERVICE REQUIRED" AND "SERVICE ADVANCETRAC. THERE WAS AN ALARM THAT HAPPENED TWICE (AT AROUND 55,000 MILES & 62,000 MILES) BEFORE WITH THE SAME EFFORT NEEDED IN STEERING BUT IT WENT AWAY WHEN THE CAR WAS SHUT OFF AND RESTARTED. IF THIS HAD HAPPENED IN THE MIDDLE OF A SHARP TURN THERE WOULD HAVE BEEN AN ACCIDENT AS IT TAKES A LOT OF EFFORT TO TURN THE WHEEL

THE VEHICLE WAS BEING DRIVEN DOWN THE EXPRESSWAY AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS AND THE STEERING WHEEL LOCKED UP COMPLETELY. THE ENGINE REMAINED RUNNING BUT THE STEERING WHEEL COULD NOT BE MOVED AT ALL. VERY SCARY EXPERIENCE, THE VEHICLE WAS ABLE TO BE BROUGHT TO A SAFE STOP AND HAD TO BE TOWED TO THE DEALERSHIP. THE SERVICE WRITER ADVISED ME THAT THIS IN NOT AN UNCOMMON CONDITION AMONG FORD VEHICLES (CARS AND TRUCKS) WITH ELECTRIC POWER STEERING.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2015 FORD TAURUS. WHILE MERGING ONTO THE HIGHWAY, THE VEHICLE'S RPMS SUDDENLY REDUCED AND FORCED THE VEHICLE TO DRIVE AT APPROXIMATELY 5 MPH. THE CONTACT DROVE OFF TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD. THE DEALER STATED THAT THEY WOULD NEED TO TOW THE VEHICLE TO THE DEALER. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE VIN WAS UNKNOWN. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 11,000.
