TWICE THE POWER WENT OFF ON MY CAR WHILE DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY. I WAS LUCKY TO BE ABLE TO PULL OFF THE ROAD. WAITED A FEW MINUTES AND GOT POWER BACK. THE CAR MAKES NOISE WHEN GOING DOWN THE ROAD, AND I HAVE ALWAYS BEEN TOLD THAT THE FORD TAURUS DOES THIS. THEY SAID NOTHING WAS WRONG. THE NOISE IS WHERE YOU WONDER IF YOU ARE SAFE, AND PROBABLY WOULD NEVER FIND A BUYER FOR THE VEHICLE. THE CAR SOUNDS LIKE AN ELECTRICAL PROBLEM SOMETIMES FROM THE RADIO, AND WHEN I USE THE PHONE. WEIRD. THE BLUE LIGHTS ON THE DASH BOARD CAN BE BLINDING. HAD MY EYES CHECKED BY A SPECIALIST AND NOT MY EYES. ONE TIME I HAD LEFT MY CAR RUNNING IN PARK IN THE DRIVEWAY AND WHEN WALKING AROUND TO THE OTHER SIDE OF THE CAR, THE CAR ROLLED OUT OF MY DRIVEWAY AND DAMAGED THE DOOR ON THE GARAGE DOOR. OBVIOUSLY THE CAR LOSING POWER TWICE ON A HIGHWAY IS A SERIOUS ISSUE. THIS HAPPENED TWO YEARS AGO, AND TWO MONTHS AGO WAS THE SECOND TIME.

I WAS DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY (395 SOUTH). CAR JUST STALLED. NO POWER NOTHING. ALMOST CAUSED ACCIDENT. I WAS LUCKY TO PULL ON THE THE SHOULDER. I AM FAMILIAR WITH THE ISSUE OCCURRED ON LINCOLN/ FORD. EVEN THOUGH THERE IS RECALL FOR CERTAIN MODELS FOR FUEL PUMP RELAY MODULE, FORD DENIES IT AND PUT MY LIFE AND OTHERS IN DANGER. MY WIFE CAME PICKED ME UP AND WENT AUTOPART STORE AND GOT THE PART, INSTALLED IT. BACK ON THE ROAD...

PULLING OUT FROM A RED LIGHT MY CAR STALLED. NO WARNING LIGHTS. 2 DAYS LATER IT WOULD NOT START. FOUND IT TO BE THE FUEL RELAY MODULE THAT IS RECALLED ON OTHER MODELS BUT NOT MINE.

Mileage: 68,000

I PARKED THE CAR AFTER WORK AND THE NEXT MORNING IT WOULDN'T START. NO WARNING, NO CHECK ENGINE LIGHTS OR ANYTHING. I HAVE TO HAVE THE CAR TOWED TO THE DEALERSHIP AND FIND OUT 3 DAYS LATER IT IS THE FUEL PUMP DRIVER MODULE. WHY WOULDN'T I GET ANY WARNING THIS WAS GOING OUT?

ONE DAY I WAS DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD TO WORK AND MY LIGHTS STARTED BLINKING ON AND OFF SAYING STEERING FAULT SERVICE NOW. I LITERALLY JUST GOT THE VEHICLE IN APRIL OF 2020 AND THIS ALL STARTED IN JUNE.

CUSTOMER STATED VEHICLE STALLED OUT WHILE DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD FROM HER HOUSE AND WOULD ONLY CRANK WITHOUT STARTING AFTERWARDS. NO DIAGNOSTIC TROUBLE CODES STORED IN VEHICLE. VIN IS NOT COVERED UNDER THE CURRENT FUEL PUMP CONTROL MODULE RECALL.

Mileage: 49,000

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.

Mileage: 104,500

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.

Mileage: 63,300

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

Mileage: 85,000

TRIED TO START CAR ONE MORNING HAD IT TOWED TO A DEALER AND IT TURNS OUT IT WAS THE FUEL PUMP DRIVE MODULE AND REPLACING IT FIXED THE PROBLEM. THERE WAS A RECALL FOR FORD TAURUS OF 2013-2015 AND THEY SAID MY VEHICLE WAS NOT AFFECTED, BUT CLEARLY IT WAS.

Mileage: 89,500

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.

WHILE DRIVING AT 55 MPH ON BUSY ROAD, VEHICLE LOST POWER. ALMOST REAR-ENDED BEFORE BEING ABLE TO COAST INTO EMPTY PARKING LOT. WENT INTO LIMP MODE. COULD NOT ACCELERATE. VEHICLE MAINTENANCE INDICATOR WITH WRENCH CAME ON. TURNED CAR OFF. WAITED ONE MINUTE. CAR RESTARTED. NO INDICATOR LIGHT. THIS IS THE SECOND TIME THIS HAS HAPPENED WITH THIS VEHICLE. THE FIRST TIME THIS HAPPENED ON 6/18/19, I RESEARCHED AND FOUND A RECALL 16S31 FOR MODELS BUILT IN CHICAGO. MY VEHICLE VIN WAS NOT INCLUDED IN RECALL. I TOOK THE CAR TO DEALERSHIP, THEY COULD NOT FIND AN ERROR CODE OR RECREATE FAILURE. I STILL HAD THEM REPLACE THE PART UNDER THE RECALL AT A COST TO MYSELF. PART WAS NEW FUEL PUMP CONTROL MODULE. I FILED COMPLAINT 11220834 WITH NHTSA. MY FEAR IS THIS IS GOING TO HAPPEN AGAIN AND IF I AM ON THE EXPRESSWAY, THE RESULTS COULD BE CATASTROPHIC.

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.

Mileage: 83,000

I WAS DRIVING AT HIGHWAY SPEED WHEN MY ENGINE DIED AND THE WRENCH LIGHT CAME ON. THE CAR STALLED VERY RAPIDLY. LUCKILY I WAS ABLE TO MAKE IT TO THE SHOULDER BEFORE AN ONCOMING TRAFFIC COULD COLLIDE WITH ME. AFTER RESTARTING MY CAR, I WAS ABLE TO DRIVE HOME WITHOUT FURTHER INCIDENT. THIS PROBLEM HAS HAPPENED MULTIPLE TIMES SINCE. I CHECKED AND MY MODEL IS NOT ELIGIBLE FOR RECALL 16V621000. I DON'T UNDERSTAND WHY FORD IS NOT RECALLING ALL TAURUS OF THIS YEAR RANGE AS THE PROBLEM DOES NOT SEEM ISOLATED TO JUST THE ECOBOOST ENGINES. THERE ARE MANY PEOPLE REPORTING THE SAME ISSUE WITH NON-ECOBOOST ENGINES. THIS IS NOT RIGHT TO GAMBLE WITH PEOPLE'S SAFETY. I WOULD REALLY HOPE THAT THE NHTSA TAKES THIS SERIOUSLY.

NOW THE THIRD TIME I HAVE THE SAME ISSUE WITH THIS CAR DOING THE SAME THING *CRANKING WITH NO TURN OVER* I GET TOLD IT'S A FUEL CONTOL MOD. YOU SHOULD HAVE THE RECALL ACROSS THE BOARD FOR THESE CARS. INSTEAD OF THE OWNERS HAVING TO SPEND 500 TO REPLACE IT BY THE DEALERSHIP.

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.

Mileage: 70,000

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.

Mileage: 55,000

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.

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.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2015 FORD TAURUS. THE CONTACT RECEIVED NOTIFICATION OF NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 16V621000 (FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE); HOWEVER, THE PART TO DO THE REPAIR WAS UNAVAILABLE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE MANUFACTURER EXCEEDED A REASONABLE AMOUNT OF TIME FOR THE RECALL REPAIR. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE ISSUE. THE CONTACT HAD NOT EXPERIENCED A FAILURE.

WHILE DRIVING ON HIGHWAY THE ENGINE TURNS OFF. HAS DONE THAT ABOUT 8 TIMES NOW. TOOK TO DEALER AND THEY SAID NOTHING WAS WRONG. THE CHECK ENGINE IS NOW ON AND TOOK TO AUTO ZONE AND IT'S THE THROTTLE STICKING OPEN AND SHUT. TAKING BACK TO DEALER ON MONDAY !

WHILE I WAS MERGING INTO TRAFFIC ONTO AN INTERSTATE, DURING RUSH HOUR, THE CAR QUIT ACCELERATING. SUDDENLY, THERE WAS NO ABILITY TO CONTROL ENGINE SPEED. AS I GLANCED AT THE DASH I NOTICED THE WRENCH WARNING LIGHT AND IT SAID SEE MANUAL. I WAS ALMOST SIDE SWIPED BY ANOTHER VEHICLE BUT WAS ABLE AVOID THE CAR AND WAS ABLE TO COAST TO A STOP ON THE SIDE OF THE INTERSTATE. WHEN I PRESSED THE BUTTON, THE CAR SHUT OFF AND WHEN I DEPRESSED IT AGAIN, THE CAR STARTED. I WAS ABLE TO MERGE INTO TRAFFIC AND HEAD HOME. ONE THE WAY HOME, ON THE INTERSTATE, THE SAME VEHICLE MALFUNCTION OCCURRED AGAIN. THERE WAS A CAR BEHIND ME BUT I QUICKLY TURNED MY FLASHERS ON AND WAS ABLE TO COAST TO THE SIDE OF HE INTERSTATE. I TOOK THE CAR TO THE DEALERSHIP TO HAVE IT LOOKED AT AND AT THIS TIME THEY HAVE NOT BEEN ABLE TO ISOLATE THE PROBLEM. HARD TO TRUST THE SAFETY & RELIABILITY OF THE VEHICLE WHEN THE AUTHORIZED SERVICE PROFESSIONALS CAN'T FIND THE PROBLEM. ADDITIONALLY, THEY SAID THE COMPUTER DID NOT STORE ALL OF THE CODES AND ALL THEY HAD WAS A PCM COMMUNICATION ERROR CODE. THIS IS A SERIOUS SAFETY ISSUE, PARTICULARLY IF IT REQUIRES FREQUENT DRIVING IN HEAVILY CONGESTED TRAFFIC, AND IF YOU ARE TRAVELING AT HIGHER SPEEDS ON THE INTERSTATE.
