While driving the car. It was noticed that the vehicle was putting out cool air only when the heat was engaged. It would eventually warm a bit but would return to blowing cool air only. When the vehicle was taken to a mechanic, it was explained that the problem was the water pump. We were told that the design of the vehicle requires the engine to be removed to get to the pump and the cost of the repair would be in excess of $2000. The vehicle cannot be driven in order to prevent further damage.

2 Water Pump problem

Failure Date: 08/22/2019

2015 Ford Taurus under 93,000 water pump failure. No warnings while driving on the highway. Started to over heat and coolant was poring out underneath. Had it towed to a Ford dealership and was told the water pump needs replaced. Over $2000 dollars for this fix. The water pump should last until 150,000. Ford knew it was an issue and needs to step up and fix it. Currently still in garage trying to figure out what I'm going to do.
