After my battery died, my 2011 Ford Taurus defaulted my only working key to a ‘mykey’ with volume limits, seatbelt mutes, and other safety limitations. I cannot undo it without spending over $200 to fix an issue caused by your faulty system design. This creates a safety issue and financial burden that Ford should be responsible for.
The rear view backup camera visual is located in my rearview mirror it is just a blue screen whenever I put the car in reverse it just one day stopped working I've been waiting for it to be on the recall list and for some reason this year a 2011 is not on the recall list but it should be.
I own a 2011 Ford Taurus sel model. August 2021 water leaking from sunroof, windshield and headliner on left side soaked and water drips out from the seam, moisture above visor and water stains visible. While driving if I brake, I can the water slush from back to front under and inside car. Drivers side floor is flooded with water since August 2021 and reported it to geico and has not been fixed. Reason for reporting: is there a recall on the sunroof or windshield ? dangers of electrical damage, mold and mildew and rusted out floor shortens the life of the vehicle.
Ive had this car for 2 months already. I pulled out of my house, drove thru my street and when I came to a stop in a intersection my car stopped completely and the wheel became hard and was not able to turn it or press on the gas pedal. The engine light, electronic stability control active light and battery alert light came on at the same time. Also it alerted me I was low on gas witch I had half a tank of gas.
My trunk leaked once in 2017 soaking legal paperwork. Found source of leak through faulty gaskets, used silicone and performed my own water test with hose. Front left headlight leaked through rubber gasket. I have had to pay out of pocket to fix my car and reported all this to Ford but was told there are no recalls and safe my receipts. Ac compressed died paid 1,000, Smart junction box needed to be replaced and paid 500 to replace part that circulates inside air. Love my car paid 37 th back in 2011 but since out of warrantee and bought extended warrantee nothing much is covered. Only 58,400 miles on my Taurus sel model. Will never buy another Ford again.
The option to adjust the climate control or change the radios is not available in this vehicle anymore. They are currently stuck on defrost and high heat which makes you almost blind when the sweat runs in your eyes. The radio just plays at an uncomfortable volume level. There have been no warnings has to why this happened. It just happened all at once, with no way to change it. You try being 160 miles from home with a toddler in car midsummer and your heater blowing on hi heat. This has happened to many people all over, theres no new part being manufactured to replace this broken one, and there's no salvage yards that have one for sale because they have all been bought up. And this issue is still arising in other Fords that are only a couple years old. Ford needs to have a recall on this!.
Inside front, driver side door latch is unseated.
Rear view camera stopped working a short time ago. Car was completely inspected and I was told that the repair would cost $1136. 00 ! car has very low mileage , no accidents, garage stored etc. I find it hard to believe such an expense on the car. How often will this become a problem? will I need to come up with $1100. 00 or more on a regular basis every few years for such repairs ? is Ford aware of this problem with other cars and have made arrangements to assist in cost of repairs?.
Recall 15s02. Manufacturer refuses to correct defect submitted on 4/22/2015 to power Ford in torrance CA.
Ford recall # 15s02. I brought it in during April 2015 and was told repairs were needed but Ford has no parts and I would hear when they became available. . I have followed up with auto nation Ford several time in the last 10 months and have been told Ford still hasn't gotten around to it. I contacted Ford headquarters and they don't give a shit and remain criminally liable for child endangerment negligend.
This is a recall complaint. There was a safety recall on the driver's side door handle at the end of March 2015. Took the car in and was told they had the parts and car would be ready at day's end. When I went back, they said they couldn't get the part and auto would be ready on Monday. On Monday they still didn't have the part and as of today Aug. 26, 2015, they still don't have the necessary part. They did provide us with a rental vehicle, but when I do pick-up my car????????they will charge me 300+$ for the work they did for my 50,000 mi check-up. I think they should cancel that fee for the months of inconvenience they have caused me!!!!!!! plus they have left my car sitting outside all of this time! weeds, summer sun beating down have all caused deterioration to my always (before) garage kept car. Can you help?.
Dear sir my 2011 Ford Taurus has shut off--------(3 times)--------now since 2012 while I was driving it with my remote key in my car. I did not make a record about it for the first two so am reporting on the latest. I have a push button ignition and remote keys. It randomly does not detect the keys as well and then it takes some pushing all the buttons on the remote to recognize I have the key there. Yesterday the dealership replaced the batteries in the remote and recommended I replace them annually. They could not offer me an explanation as to why it was not recognizing the keys when I am driving down a road and it shuts off. This is an accident thing waiting to happen. They did a diagnostic on it as well and searched the home office for any defect or recall and have none. Is this a reported incident and is there anything on it? I am reporting this because if it causes an accident I want it on the record as well. I went to Ford dealership to try and get it remedied.
Was driving at 65 mph on highway when I tried to accelerate nothing happened and I noticed all dash lights were on. I coasted to shoulder, shifted to park and pushed ignition button and it restarted. This has happened 5 other times and luckily there was a shoulder available, but the holman Ford dealership, (who is the only one who has ever serviced the car), says they have no idea what the problem is. It was a very dangerous situation and I noticed gm had similar problem and recalled autos due to death!! I have been lucky but now fear this car, after 5 times. It is not a stall. It just shuts off.
We own a 2011 Ford Taurus limited on two separate occasions we have had the car to the Ford dealers for a problem with dust coming in the car around the seats both front and back. They replaced the seals around the doors the first time this did not take care of the issue. On August 02,2013 we had the car back to the dealer and they installed more parts to the car still not fixed. I contacted Ford motor company again and the referred me to a lady patty a regional customer care manager. On 08/22/2013 I made contact with her she contacted their technical people and got back with me stating there was nothing else they could do for this car stating that it was a design issue and they have other complaints from other areas of the country with the same issue. I would like to no what else I can do to get this problem resolved as Ford has already told me there is nothing else the can do.
2011 Ford Taurus headlights do not project, have dark spots, can't see properly. Have returned to the dealer several times. They have adjusted and apparently done all they know to do. It is still not correct. It is a very dangerous situation when traveling on interstate late @ night. We have owned and driven many different Fords all our life, specifically a 1994 Taurus and didn't have this problem. It is especially dangerous when there are no other vehicles on the highway. With one of the adjustments there was no vision to the sides of the road. After several adjustments the beams still do not project the proper distance. It seems some kind of shutter is in the way. Love the car and would really like a solution. Hope this can be resolved before someone is seriously injured. Thanks.
