Please allow submission of additional information regarding issues with my 2013 Ford Taurus police interceptor. As stated on the previous complaint filed on 1/9/2024, I got my car service at autonation Ford service center on 12/16/2023, and I brought it back to the service center on Saturday, 12/23/2023 because of the car’s poor performance and engine had laminated on 12/17/2023. Issues such exhaust system, fuel system, the driver exterior door handle is loose, and seat belt gets jammed.
Sensor in seat belt fails air bag light comes on air bags won't deploy there is hundreds of complaints on forums about this issue Ford knows about it amd said they will not issue a recall steering and suspension yo hear loud popping steering locks up due to rack and pinion failure the popping is faulty upper strut mounts Ford is also aware of this there is thousands of reports all over the forums Ford refuses to even look into it saying its not a dangerous concern steering will lock up tight at speeds of 70mph no gaining control of it.
I had problems with my fuel injection for almost 2 years looked it up and even took it to 3 dealerships and a full services place all saying the same thing. So I looked it up and there was a recall for it and seatbelts and airbags but my VIN# wasn't on the list. Everyone I know who got a car like mines had the recall and was fixed. I am now paying out of pocket for the airbags and my radio and back cam now is acting crazy show upside down and the radio keep going out. I need some help can't afford all these issues with my car when they are on your recall list . Please if you can re-evaluate my number the back cam acts up when backing up everything is upside down. The fuel injection have problems when starting and while driving it will slow down then caught up and speed up. The airbags recently came out getting it fix by a body shop and paying out of pocket to keep my insurance from totaling it out. The seat belts keep locking up at times. Love my car please help if possible.
Airbag light stays on.
(bp no dealer or manuf info) tl the contact owns a 2013 Ford Taurus. The contact stated that the seat belt warning indicator illuminated on a daily basis ever since the vehicle was purchased in may of 2017. The independent mechanic stated that the driver's side seat belt buckle failed and needed replacement. The vehicle was not repaired. The VIN was invalid. The approximate failure mileage was 84,000.
The drivers side seat belt has spooled all the way out and will not retract on 2013 Ford Taurus. New parts on the way, but shouldn't the seat belt assembly last more than 4-5 years?.
Airbag exploded injury in my face.
On Saturday, Aug 17th, our 2013 Ford Taurus police interceptor (sedan) VIN:1fahp2l8xdg123321 was stopped at a place of business and turned off. Initially, the vehicle would not restart. After a few minutes the vehicle started but would not move. The vehicle was removed from the premises by a wrecker and taken to griffin Ford CO in thomasville, GA. This date, Aug. 22, 2013, I spoke with a serviceman at griffin Ford and was told that the front wheel axle had broken and that the repair part would be back-ordered (placed on an emergency need basis), but no repair time frame could be given due to the fact that there were no replacement parts in the country. We have had previous problems with both of our (above VIN # and VIN:1fahp2l81dg123322) 2013 Ford Taurus police vehicles with the problems previous to this being excessive gas fumes within both vehicles (fuel pump was replaced before recall was issued on both cars but after receiving recall, fuel pumps were again replaced), check engine light was on (evaporative emissions solenoid was replaced, air bag light was on, seat belt sensor was bad and the buckle/sensor was replaced. All of these issues have occured this year. As you are aware, all repairs take time and we are especially concerned about the time frame to receive and repair the wheel axle. Have there been other reports of this type of problem? looking forward to a response from your agency. Diane h. Causey mayor, city of coolidge, GA 229-346-3551 - phone.
