While driving 75 mph on an interstate, I lost the power steering and was able to get the vehicle to the side of the road, a red warning message to service power steering now came on, at the same time turn signal would not work and traction control warning light came. Since it was the weekend and I was driving home for christmas I still drove the car home. I now have the car at dealership, and being told no recall on this car. But there is a recall on others for same issue. I don't have the cost yet but tried to call Ford customer service and they are close for the holiday. Wait to see whats next. Miliage on the car was 60,070.
Driving on freeway when the engine warning light came on and lost all control of steering. Had to stop in middle of road when a bystander came by and helped me get it to the side. Then had it towed to my house. Found out it was electric steering had gone out. Could have caused serious accident. Called Ford and they said there was no recall for my car. Will have it towed to Ford dealer where I will probably have to pay big bucks to get it fixed.
Power steering failed and caused vehicle to be very difficult to continue properly around a bend in the road. Simultaneous with this failure, the traction control system sent up an alarm and the turn signals stop working and the lever has to be held in place to make the indicators work.
I have 2013 Ford Taurus at sam galloway Ford in fort myers florida, they called me and said my e. T. B electronic throttle body needs to be repaired/replaced and it will cost $750 out the door. I started doing some research for cheaper cost and I came across other Fords with this same problem that was recalled, made a few calls to Ford and they said my VIN number doesn't qualify my car for that recall. This is a very dangerous problem, the car will lose throttle in the middle of traffic. This seems to me a issue and problem with a number of Fords vehicles and just because mine doesn't fall under the VIN, it's still a Ford and the etb is a problem for Ford vehicles. Please make this a recall! etb is a problem that needs to be fixed for any Ford that it happens to! this has happened several times to me since I had the car and it's only been a two months. To dangerous to be on the streets to drive and needs to be fixed!.

My Taurus symptoms are, lose of power in lower gears(1,2,3). When accelerating from a stand still, the car hesitates. And now the car has a crank no start issue and I smell fuel. My my touch is a little slow but my reverse cam is upside down and some times doesn't show a view at all. Other then that, my Taurus has been great and reliable.

Electrical seems to spin every once and a while, as well as a major spin every six months, perhaps year now. Even new, vehicle had a type of electrical "reset", a message would show something about the language has been reset. . , et cetera. The vehicle now will show "charging system failure" light as well as a language reset. I feel that something is taking the vehicle into a different "set", or idea. . . , perhaps a foreign electrical involvement is my upfront concern. When I try and simply inquiry Ford regarding this,. . . It is for sure when it happens. . . (somehow). Ford at the dealership appears not to notice anything, as if it is fine. . . , that even brand new with only 1000 miles on it, they did not see any concern. I had brought it up to them many times, but things get a little 'wind', or whirley,. . . Like it has a cap, or an odd mischief to it. I'm worried that some day, while with it, or needing it, that it will have that "lights out" problem, where it just seems like someone "killed" it, or it is a little dark to even bring up to people. (ike) iko, ike, ikz message appears on the center console screen, it shows before starting it. It seems that Ford does not see this with what they see, or with their eyes, but it has been a bothersome thought,. . Washing motor appears to be lost already at a low mileage, and I am figuring, that since it is new, that this is to blame. 1c1c1ccc 1c1c1ccccc 1c1c1ccc 1c1c1c1ccc 1c1c1c1c.
While driving the vehicle at highway speeds, it was noted that when I set the cruise control at 70mph, the stated speed limit, the digital numerical readout read exactly 70mph. The speedometer although reads consistently 3-4mph above the cruise control setting. This has occurred since I took delivery of the vehicle as brand new from the dealer and occurs regardless of speed setting, I. E. : same issue if cruise is set at 45mph, 55mph, 65mph, etc. After becoming concerned that the vehicle may in fact be traveling faster than the digital cruise control setting was stating, I took the vehicle back to dealer. They were unable fix the issue with exact explanation on my repair order reading: "client states when cruise set the speedometer always 3-4 miles higher. Nwp contact Ford. Advised to drive 2013 and 2014 models to verify concern. Both models same symptom. All ok at this time. ".
On September 14, 2012 we purchased the above described vehicle from lumberton Ford Lincoln, lumberton, nc 28360. Among several things wrong we discovered the reverse sensor system is inadequate. The alarm is not audible in the cabin of the vehicle is there is normal conversation/radio noise. Also, the alarm does not activate beyond 2 1/2 to 3 feet from the rear bumper. The dealer said this cannot be corrected. This is a definite safety issue. If the owner/driver is expecting this alarm system to warn them of impending impact, they will be liable. We requested a refund/replacement and were denied.
