2014 FORD TAURUS Fuel/propulsion System Problems

The engine light came on and was scanned for engine code P0430 (Catalyst System Efficiency Below Threshold Bank 2). Upon further research, it appears that a catalytic converter has started failing. I was able to clean the catalytic converter, but they are very expensive to replace. Ford issued an extended warranty for this part, but did not issue a recall, despite this being an issue on multiple vehicles. This warranty is 10 years on the Police Interceptor Sedan (Taurus Platform), and 11 years on the Police Interceptor Utility (Explorer Platform). My car's mileage was at approximately 103,000 miles when the light came on. Both warranties extend to 120,000 miles, and my car was two months older than 10 years when this occurred. I contacted Ford through multiple avenues, even writing a letter to Ford Consumer Affairs, and they all declined to extend their warranties to the Ford Police Interceptor Sedan despite the fact that it is identical to the Ford Police Interceptor Utility when it comes to the engine, transmission, PTU, and all components related to those parts, including the catalytic converter. This is a known issue that should have been a recall in the first place, but Ford should at least have the same warranty issued to both cars as the part and failure of said part are identical. I would greatly appreciate it if you guys contacted Ford and told them to extend this warranty to 11 years to match the warranty for the Police Interceptor Utility. I have also attached my letter to Ford Consumer Affairs for reference. [XXX] [XXX] Thanks so much, [XXX] INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6)

On 2 occasions in October 2023 my 2014 Ford Taurus would not start after cranking. Once the engine had been warm. The 2nd time approximately 2 weeks later, it was cold and had to be towed to Ford dealer. After the dealer said it was the fuel pump driver module needing replacement, it appears this was a known problem (see below from Ford website); however, mine was not recalled. Mine came from the Chicago factory as well. This should be replaced at no charge to me, including the tow fee. Total $602.90 should be reimbursed. "DEARBORN, Mich., Aug. 24, 2016 – Ford Motor Company is issuing two safety recalls and one safety compliance recall in North America. Details are as follows: Ford issues safety recall for certain 2013-15 Ford and Lincoln vehicles to replace fuel pump control modules Ford is issuing a safety recall for approximately 86,000 2013-15 Ford Taurus, Ford Flex, Lincoln MKS and Lincoln MKT vehicles with 3.5-liter gasoline turbocharged direct injection engines, as well as Ford Police Interceptor sedans to replace fuel pump control modules. In the affected vehicles, the fuel pump control module could fail, which may cause an engine to not start or stall. In some cases, the engine could stall without warning while driving and without the ability to restart, increasing the risk of a crash. Ford is not aware of any accidents or injuries associated with this issue. Affected vehicles include: 2013-15 Ford Taurus with 3.5-liter gasoline turbocharged direct injection engine built at Chicago Assembly Plant, Aug. 25, 2011 to May 31, 2015"

The fuel pump control module [XXX] ) failed suddenly and the car failed to drive, I am not driving fast and able to pull over safely. I bought the part part from Ford dealer and replaced the old one, then the problem is fixed. However, as this part fails suddenly and the failing will result in immediate engine stop, it is a safety issue and I shall report it. INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6)

Vehicle will crank but will not start. Mechanic looked at it and said the module is bad and needs replaced. When replaced, vehicle started fine. There is a recall for this but it is not for my engine type.

This vehicle was sold to me with a not for sale in states requiring California emissions, no governor on the vehicle as well faulty lighting mechanisms. The fuel pump is fluctuating and the car is a danger to myself and those around me. I consulted with a independent licensed mechanic who confirmed these defaults. No warning lights no messages and the dealer did not point out these flaws. I discovered this issue after getting some routine maintenance done on the vehicle

The car was inspected by Ford. The fuel pump driver module needed to be replaced. I made it home for my break. When I was leaving. The car would crank but wouldn’t turn on.

Fuel fill inlet Holding pressure in tank. Not allowing to fill car with gas Pressure build up in the tank considered a fire safety hazard

The exact situation which is listed on this Ford recall has affected my Taurus. However, this issue is not connected with my VIN even though my window sticker says it was assembled in Chicago. The car would start and then stop, it would not start back up, or it would do a combination. It wasn't the same every time. The dealer I had work on my car replaced the fuel pump driver module and informed me about the recall but I was never able to get in touch with Ford. I have recently been able to connect with Ford and they said it wasn't associated with my VIN and there was nothing they could do or submit to try for reimbursement since it's been over 90 days from when the work was performed.

Over the weekend I noticed my steering was making a cluck noise from both the front and rear making the car very uncomfortable to ride and it kinda moves more left or a little right when on highway. I also noticed my check engine light came on. I took the car to get looked and the diagnosis read I have bad fuel pump line or evap dont know smell fuse of gas, gas gauge goes up an down. I was to notify NHTSA and to Report this incident and whether to see if theirs any Recall to my Vehicle. Please and thank you.

THE FUEL PUMP CONTROL MODULE IS FAILING, WHICH IS CAUSING THE ENGINE TO NOT START AND OR KEEPS STALLING WHEN TURNING THE KEY. MY MECHANIC GAVE ME THE RECALL AND DIRECTED ME TO MY NEAREST FORD DEALERSHIP, BUT WHEN GIVEN THE VIN NUMBER THEY SAID THERE IS 0 RECALLS ON MY VEHICLE. THEREFOR THIS RECALL IS VIN SPECIFIC AND WILL NOT COVER MY REPAIRS. THE MECHANIC DID AGREE THIS IS A PROBLEM WITH THE MAKE AND MODEL BUT NOT SPECIFIC TO MY VEHICLE. UPSETTING AND CONFUSED WHY MY VEHICLE IS NOT INCLUDED IN THIS RECALL.

MY FUEL PUMP WENT BAD. MY VEHICLE IS NO LONGER OPERATING AND I THINK THAT THE FUEL PUMP FOR MY SPECIFIC VEHICLE NEEDS TO BE INVESTIGATED FOR A RECALL. NHTSA CAMPAIGN ID: 16V621000 REPORT DATE: AUGUST 25, 2016 VEHICLES AFFECTED: 77,502 CONSEQUENCE: A LOSS OF POWER TO THE FUEL PUMP WILL CAUSE THE ENGINE TO STALL OR PREVENT THE VEHICLE FROM STARTING, INCREASING THE RISK OF A CRASH WHAT YOU SHOULD DO: FORD WILL NOTIFY OWNERS, AND DEALERS WILL INSPECT THE FUEL PEM PART NUMBER AND REPLACE THE FUEL PEM, AS NECESSARY, FREE OF CHARGE. THE RECALL BEGAN ON DECEMBER 1, 2016. OWNERS MAY CONTACT FORD CUSTOMER SERVICE AT 1-866-436-7332. FORD'S NUMBER FOR THIS RECALL IS 16S31. SUMMARY: FORD MOTOR COMPANY (FORD) IS RECALLING CERTAIN MODEL YEAR 2013-2015 FORD TAURUS, FORD FLEX, LINCOLN MKS AND LINCOLN MKT VEHICLES EQUIPPED WITH 3.5L GTDI ECOBOOST ENGINES AND 2013-2015 FORD TAURUS POLICE INTERCEPTOR VEHICLES. A COMPONENT WITHIN THE FUEL PUMP ELECTRIC MODULE (PEM) MAY OVERHEAT CAUSING A LOSS OF ELECTRICAL POWER TO THE FUEL PUMP.

VEHICLE STALLED WHILE DRIVING, UNABLE TO RESTART. DUE TO LOSS OF POWER, LOST THE ABILITY TO BRAKE AND STEER EASILY. I WAS ON A CITY STREET AND ENTERING AN INTERSECTION WHEN I LOST POWER. THERE IS AN EXISTING SAFETY RECALL NOTICE: 16S31 FOR 2013-2015 FORD TAURUS MADE IN CHICAGO WHICH MY VEHICLE WAS. MY DEALER IS ADVISING THAT MY VIN IS NOT PART OF THAT CAMPAIGN THOUGH ALL ITEMS FITS THE RECALL. MY CAR IS A TAURUS, IT IS A 2014, IT WAS MADE IN CHICAGO AND THE PART FAILED WHILE DRIVING WHICH COULD HAVE RESULTED IN A CRASH.

OCCURS EVERY 2000 TO 3000 MILES WHEN SLOWING DOWN TO STOP. AS I GET NEAR THE IDLE SPEED (2-3 MPH) WITH MY FOOT ON THE BRAKE PEDDLE THE ENGINE STARTS TO REV UP AND PULL THE CAR FORWARD. I HAVE TO THROW THE TRANSMISSION INTO NEUTRAL AND THE ENGINE RPM'S SPIKE UP TO 5000 TO 6000 AND THEN IMMEDIATELY SETTLES OUT TO AN IDLE SPEED. I HAD A TUNEUP DONE AT 100K MILES AND PART OF THE SERVICE WAS TO "RESET" THE COMPUTER SYSTEM. THE SHOP RAN A FULL DIAGNOSTIC. THIS DID NOT RESOLVE THE PROBLEM. I'M AT ABOUT 118K MILES NOW.

I ATTEMPTED TO START MY VEHICLE IN MY GARAGE. MOTOR WOULD CRANK BUT NOT START. I KNEW IT WAS A FUEL ISSUE, SO I GOOGLED THE PROBLEM. I CAME ACROSS AN ISSUE WITH THE FUEL PUMP RELAY ON 2013-2015 TAURUS, FLEX, AND INTECEPTORS. MOSTLY RELATED TO LAW ENFORCEMENT VEHICLES AND CIVILIAN SUPER CHARGED ENGINES THAT HAD A RECALL FOR THIS FUEL PUMP RELAY MODULAR. MY TAURUS IS ONLY A SEL, AND I SAW WHERE MANY OTHER PEOPLE WERE HAVING THE SAME ISSUE WITH THEIR EVERYDAY 2013-2015 FORD VEHICLE. THESE PEOPLE REPLACED THEIR OWN FUEL PUMP RELAY MODULE AND FIXED THEIR PROBLEM. I DECIDED TO TRY IT MYSELF. SURE ENOUGH; I, A SINGLE MOM ON A VERY FIXED INCOME, GETS A RIDE TO MY LOCAL AUTO PARTS STORE, BUYS THE FUEL PUMP RELAY MODULE FOR $75.00, INSTALL THE PART MYSELF, AND IT WORKED LIKE A CHARM! THERE NEEDS TO BE A RECALL ON ALL OF THESE 2013-2015 FORD TAURUS'S SO PEOPLE LIKE MYSELF AND THE OTHER FEW I CAME ACROSS ONLINE CAN GET OUR MONEY BACK, AND PREVENT OTHERS FROM HAVING TO GO THROUGH THE PANIC OF HAVING ONLY ONE VEHICLE (THAT SHOULD BE VERY DEPENDABLE) THAT WON'T START. I CALLED FORD AND THEY TOLD ME THEY WOULD NOT ISSUE ANY RECALL, THE RECALL HAD TO COME FROM NHTSA. I AM TRULY HOPING THAT SOMEONE AT THE NHTSA WILL ADDRESS THIS ISSUE ASAP.

THEY FOUND THAT FUEL WAS NOT GETTING TO THE ENGINE ALTHOUGH I HAD HALF A TANK OF GAS. THERE IS NO KILL SWITCH ON MY MODEL CAR, FOR THEM TO RESET THINKING I HAD HIT A BUMP AND SOMEHOW SET OFF THE THEFT FEATURE THAT KILLS FUEL TO THE ENGINE WHEN MY CAR THINKS IT BEING STOLEN(?). THEY WERE ABLE TO BYPASS SOMETHING TO GET THE CAR TO CRANK WHICH DETERMINED THE FUEL PUMP WAS IN WORKING ORDER. THEY WERE LOOKING FOR THE FUEL PUMP CONTROL MODULE WHEN WE FOUND THE NHTSA #16V621000, WHICH SHOWS THE 2013-2015 FORD TAURUS MODELS (WHICH I HAVE), "A COMPONENT WITHIN THE FUEL PUMP ELECTRIC MODULE (PEM) MAY OVERHEAT CAUSING A LOSS OF ELECTRICAL POWER TO THE FUEL PUMP.

LAST WEEK I WAS DRIVING HOME ON THE INTERSTATE GOING THE SPEED LIMIT OF 70 MPH AND THE CAR QUIT. THE RECALL STATES "IN THE AFFECTED VEHICLES, THE FUEL PUMP CONTROL MODULE COULD FAIL, WHICH MAY CAUSE AN ENGINE TO NOT START OR STALL.
