Equipment Problems of Ford Taurus - part 2

This has happened since we purchased the car. When driving down the road out of the blue the wrench light on the dash turns on and the car loses all power!! dangerous! so dangerous. I have spoken with other foes tauras x owners and they too have the same issue. When it happens I pull over and shut the car off and wait a bit. . I turn it back on and the wrench light is off but car wont shift into gear!! it's very hard to get the shifter to move. When it does move it's a loud clunk clunk sound like u just dropped the transmission on the ground!! this is happening more often then not now. Hundreds of thousands of people who own this vehicle have complaints about the same issue. No one can figure out the issue! some say a sensor, yet a sensor would not make my transmission clunk like that! a lot say it's the control arm and Ford has had the wrong control arm installed in all there does tauras x"s 2007 and 2009. My car has 77,609 miles on it. It's been doing this for the past 40,000 miles! I'm truely scared to drive this car aspecially in the winter!! Ford you already have been told and are well aware of this issue ! fix it or get sued by tens of thousands of us all petitioning to do so and all together as a group. So buckle up Ford!.

The problem is I have a faulty backup camera that shows distorted images, the projection on the screen is upside down, and suddenly goes black, displays a warning message with black screen and a triangle caution symbol with exclamation mark. (however, it does not immediately show that warning message). With this back-up camera not properly working it poses a dangerous risk to others and myself. Luckily, I have not hit anyone yet such as a young child, or any individuals. If this were to happen it could cause serious harm and leave an individual with permeant injuries, or even life threating injuries, or death. Since the camera stopped working, I have come awful close to getting into accidents with other vehicles upon backing out of parking spots, backing into the streets, etc. Since then, I had to also replaced my passenger side mirror that I took off when suddenly the camera stopped working when I was backing out of my garage and the picture from camera immediately went black and I panic and took off my passenger side mirror by hitting the side of my garage door opening. The vehicle has been taken to the dealership, to where they repaired the passenger mirror, and I explained to them about the backup camera. The Ford dealership did their inspection and confirmed that the camera is indeed not working properly, and they advised that I needed a new camera. However, I was told that the camera is on back order, and they have no idea when it will be available. The first time I noticed that the back-up camera was not working was early August 2022, exact date unknown. Up until this happening, things were fine and never had an issue.

The car is stopping when at idle and at times will loose full power when driving down the road. We have replaced the mass air flow sensor, cleaned the mass flow uptake, and replaced the fuel pump driver module. We bought this vehicle from turnpike Ford in huntington. The 3rd party warranty showing on my loan agreement was bumper to bumper 7 years or 72,000 miles however the warranty paper stated 3 years or 36,000 miles. We have tried working with todd judy but they refuse to honor the warranty so my car has not been able to be repaired. They advised me I needed a new motor and transmission. We need this issue resolved it’s a high risk for us when driving the vehicle and these repairs should not be coming out of our pocket.

Only regular maintenence < drove to desination and parked car and car set on fire , at first it was smoking so we called the fire department and by the time they got there the flames were 10 ft high and the whole front was burnt and melted my car IA junk now , before this all gauges worked jst fine and nothing un-ordinary stuff going on.

5 April 2022 my 2010 Taurus sel 3. 5l engine overheated unexpectedly and the temp warning light came on my way home. I let it cool down during a heavy rain before heading home. I left the vehicle at a gas station for a couple of hours and return to bring it home (3 miles). Temp gage remain steady (3 miles) until it was parked on my driveway. The next day, I conducted an assessment to the cooling system. Reservoir was completely empty and my oil deep stick level was higher than normal 1 inch above max range. It showed coolant contamination. I read several reports about a flaw with the internal water pump design. If indeed is a flaw design or pump manufacture defect, why Ford motor company hasn't fix the issue or provided a solution to alleviate this flaw? now I have to incur on major engine repairs or replacement, in which I am not sure if it is cost effective. Current mileage 171,424.

My water pump went out with 0 warning. Not even a low coolant light came on. I checked the coolant noticed it was a little low, went to work and on my way home from work my car overheated; again with no low coolant light or warning. I was Smart enough to crank the heat in order to keep engine cool and by the time I got home, my car was chuckling. I was worried I may have cracked the head. I had to have the car towed ($150) and the water pump repair was ($2300). In all my years of automotive, I've never heard of a water pump repair cost this much. Googling the part is roughly $380 but because its chain driven its an 11 hr repair. I have copies of the invoice and towing but not with me at the moment.

I was not notified from Ford about the serious safety recall on my 2015 Ford Taurus. I'd like to have this safety concern fixed immediately so I don't end up in a severe auto accident. I can drop my vehicle off. I've never had this happen and I'm nervous to drive the vehicle. I have noticed a difference in the way it drives please help get this sorted out with my local Ford dealership in fort myers, FL. Thank you!.

The contact owns a 2015 Ford Taurus. The contact stated that while driving in the rain at various speeds, the vehicle would stall as the "check manual" and wrench warning light would illuminate on the instrument panel. The contact had taken the vehicle to the dealer on two separate occasions and each time the dealer was unable to duplicate the failure. The manufacturer was notified of the failure and provided a case number. The contact was then referred to the NHTSA for assistance. The vehicle had yet to be repaired and remained in the possession of the dealer. The failure mileage was approximately 42,000.

I was in a right hand curve and it felt like my wheel flipped to one side. My steering felt loose. I took it to the shop and had them inspect it. Nothing was wrong with my suspension. I continued to drive it. My steering became even more loose and sloppy. I was struggling to stay in my lane due to the loosened steering. I have had it checked many times and nothing. When it rains I am jerked all over the road from water. It feels like my tires are being pulled in opposite directions at the same time while I am slung into on coming traffic.

Hvac system has malfunctioned. The system turns on but no fan motor, heat, a/c, or defroster. Fogged windows have caused dangerous driving conditions an independent service center has confirmed this problem all other information is unknown.

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.

Rear camera is not responding resulting in the inability to see persons or objects in fear camera screen while in reverse. It stopped working on 08/13/2021.

My vehicle suddenly has a wrench light pop up and the car stalls out. Still runs but wont accelerate . This has happened three time to me on the interstate. Took car to 3 separate mechanics and no codes were coming up. The car always starts up after it turned off but this is very dangerous. I couldve been killed.

The dealer has completed all the recalls due to date on the vehicle, but is unable to report them so the vehicle is still listed on NHTSA. Gov as having 1 incomplete recall. The dealer is unable to provide any information on the issue, promising that the case will be reviewed by internal team, the manufacturer is unable to provide any information as well, stating that the all the recalls have been completed, the dealership got paid, but 1 recall remains listed on NHTSA. Gov . I cannot use the vehicle as intended as 1 still active recall prohibits me from doing so. Is there anything what can be done to update the recalls or make the dealer to complete and record them properly?.

Basically I was driving and stopped and my house and while in ideal the wiring under the hood and under the fender into the dash all started to melt together shorting the systems so I tried to repair and replace the parts due to being a used vehicle and didn't know how to report this until now. So I cut the melted chunk of wiring harnesses out and trashed it. But I stopped due to the inability to find any replacement harnesses from Ford or Mercury so now my car has been sitting for several months. I have only been able to find melted harnesses on junk yard cars. Ford used poor quality 16 gauge wiring that the outer coating became brittle and easily frayed. Every wiring harness I've seen has bad spots from wires melting or breaking and corroding. I'm my case the wiring melted causing the cooling system to stop working properly and almost damaged or may have damaged my engine. I don't have full coverage so I am forced to park it and do what I can myself which has made me lose my job and ruined my life. Please do look into this I'm sure more people have the same issue just check a junk yard and you'll see what I mean. Thank you for your time I will try to provide any further information or help if needed anyway I can to make sure someone doesn't get hurt.

I noticed on the Ford pass app that there was a warranty extension for the apim on the sync system. They (Ford) explained to me that the notification was sent to a previous owner and not me (I have owned the car since 2016). They now say this extension is expired and the cost would have to be my responsibility.

Ford has just announced a recall for certain model year Taurus and fusion vehicles regarding malfuntion of the backup camera. My 2014 Taurus is not included in the recall, notwithstanding the fact that it exhibits the same malfuntioning characteristics as those included in the recall: sometimes presenting a black screen, sometimes presenting an upsidedown image, and occasionally presenting a correct image. The camera began exhibiting these characteristics about four years ago. I believe that the recall population should be extended to include the 2014 Taurus.

Car electronic steering stopped and I could not turn the wheels.

I am semi skilled technician currently working on walser Toyota bloomington. I got a recall letter called 20s04, and I took my car to inver grove Ford mn. After I got the service my car start to creat weird motion and unusual vehicle handling in highway speed and local speed. Sometimes hard to control the vehicle. I took it back to inver grove Ford and they told me the stabilizer link worn. I replaced it by my self and the problem is still there. Even getting worst every day.

I took my car to a local shop for lower control arms. The shop manager called and told me that there was a recall on my car. So I tried to contact 2 different Ford dealerships. Neither one wants to even look at it. The dealerships wanted over $150 to look at the recall issue. I am having trouble with the steering. The car does not want to drive straight. My car is a 2013 and has around 143,000 miles on it.

While driving my 2009 Ford Taurus 83,000m the breaks hard stop on its own, it was hard enough that if me and my passenger was not wearing our seat belts it would have smashed his face into the dash and my face into my steering wheel, we were on a side street turning left and as I was accelerating the breaks hard stopped on its own. The other time the breaks hard stopped was while turning right once again accelerating and almost got rear ended on a very busy main street. There was a time I was driving and my car completely shut down/off on its own I was driving 40mph I had to put it in neutral and start it again while the car was still going over 35mpr. I have had this car less than six months there is no warning light on it is very dangerous please fix. Thank you.

This has happened about 3 times in the last 2 yrs but while sitting at a light my car suddenly went forward. It didn't go. To far. Maybe a ft or 2 but was enough to scare me. My foot was on the brake. It will also get stuck in gears and lose power on the road. No check engine light is on as of now. One light did come on today while sitting at a light and without notice my car would not go. It was the power throttle/transmission light. I turned the car off and then back on and it drove fine all the way home. It did jerk once. The gear shifting and loss of power happens when I am driving on the highway.

After researching, Ford has installed faulty water pumps in this car along with others that have the 3. 5 ecoboost engine. Water pump failed on me and since the water pump is inside the engine you dont really know when it is going to give out. Leaking of the coolant on the highway. My mechanic warned me that this failure could lead to coolant leaking into the engine which would result in the need of a new engine. Ford needs to recall this!.
