Car will lose ability to accelerate, violently shakes. You can pull over, shut the car off then start up again and it will work until later. Throws a code saying to see owners manual, the owners manual says to take to dealership for repairs.

The location of the vehicle's transmission valve body assembly subjects it to excessively high heat which subsequently causes it to fail. The vehicle was purchased used with 35,115 miles and the valve body assembly failed at 58,344 miles. Since owned, the vehicle has been well maintained and always driven in a careful, safe and cautious manner. The dealership refused to cover the repair under warranty.

1. failure item: Transmission. Reverse gear fail. Available for inspection. 2. unable to reverse vehicle in an emergency situaion. 3. no 4. no 5. no it appears from what I've found on the internet, Ford is aware of the problem that causes the malfunction in question. Based on what I've read it appears to be a manufacturing defect, and the burden of repair is put on the consumer.

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.

Driving on highway sudden surge of RPM then loss of all power. Car went into limp mode. Displayed wrench warning light and see owners manual which indicates power train/loss of power. Dealer said code was reading throttle body. Believe they need to investigate further

- Mayodan, NC, USA

2015 Ford Taurus/approx 7850miles on car/6 months old....vehicle went into limp home mode at highway speed. Especially in the hands of a less experienced driver, this could cause major confusion, and possibly a major rear end collision and it is a safety concern that proves this problem still exists with this part, even though the NHTSA has "closed the file" and accepted Ford's explanation. The NHTSA should re-open this file and investigate. The folks at Ford service seem to be all too familiar with this problem. Ford must be held accountable for these potentially life threatening situations caused by these parts and they must be forced to perform a full scale recall on part at4Z-9E926-B (throttle body)

2015 Ford Taurus sel 3.5L ecoboost flex fuel has vibrations at idle and speeds of 60-70 mph. Vibration does not always occur at idle or at high speeds, usually happens during deceleration, and sometimes happens at low speeds as well. Was told by Ford dealer that other similar models were test driven to compare, and these vibrations are normal for similar cars. I drove a 2011 for Taurus sel for 4 years and never had any vibrations so am certainly not happy with the dealer's response but they said since no codes are popping up there is nothing they can do, and I took it to a different Ford dealer and they wouldn't even have the technicians check anything since it wasn't vibrating at that moment

While driving rpms shot up and lost all power. Was able to pull over safely since I was on a city street and restart vehicle. After the restart I was able to drive off but could not get out of second gear. Engine light came on shortly after.

While I was merging into traffic onto an interstate, during rush hour, the car quit accelerating. Suddenly, there was no ability to control engine speed. As I glanced at the dash I noticed the wrench warning light and it said see manual. I was almost side swiped by another vehicle but was able avoid the car and was able to coast to a stop on the side of the interstate. When I pressed the button, the car shut off and when I depressed it again, the car started. I was able to merge into traffic and head home. One the way home, on the interstate, the same vehicle malfunction occurred again. There was a car behind me but I quickly turned my flashers on and was able to coast to the side of he interstate. I took the car to the dealership to have it looked at and at this time they have not been able to isolate the problem. Hard to trust the safety & reliability of the vehicle when the authorized service professionals can't find the problem. Additionally, they said the computer did not store all of the codes and all they had was a PCM communication error code. This is a serious safety issue, particularly if it requires frequent driving in heavily congested traffic, and if you are traveling at higher speeds on the interstate.

Driving on the highway at 70 mph experienced sudden loss of engine power- no limp home mode just loss of acceleration - coasted to the side of the road. After turning car off and back on was able to continue driving. Only error shown was see manual. Failed three more times before I could get off the road - known problem with throttle body - extremely dangerous situation as you can can have difficulty getting off the road crossing several lanes. This should be a major recall. If you are not able to get off the road in time you will most likely experience being rear ended on the highway. As I researched this this has been happening for years and is still not fixed - why is the nhstb not taking this more seriously.

I purchased a 2015 Ford Taurus in July of 2015 brand new only 3 mile on the vehicle. I notice that after the first oil change and tire rotation I noticed something different about the front passenger side wheel. On the second maintenance visit I advise the intake person that the front passenger wheel sound like something was loss. After the service I was given the paperwork that stated every thing was fine. Well on 3/14/2016 while driving down the smoothly paved busy street the steering wheel began to shake followed by a loud thump and next thing you know the car had flipped across three lanes and landed up side down. I called Ford dealership I purchase the car from and was told by one of the salesmen after telling him what happen that, "that was a defect" and I need to get a lawyer. All I want is the someone from Ford motor the inspect the car. The crazy part is the axle, bracket, and suspension are covered under my power train warranty but because my car flipped I was told I had to file a claim with my insurance even though the the front axle, bracket and wheel broke off the car causing it to flip. The metal frame even broke, everything was still attacked to front passenger wheel that broke off and the car was just driving down the street no bumps or anything. Now if my so would have died and was severely injured I guess then Ford motor would issue a recall like they did for the 2013 & 2014 Ford Taurus with axle and bracket defects.
