This data is from the NHTSA — the US gov't agency tasked with vehicle safety. Complaints are spread across multiple & redundant categories, & are not organized by problem.
So how do you find out what problems are occurring? For this NHTSA complaint data, the only way is to read through the comments below. Any duplicates or errors? It's not us.
Was driving and the accelerator/has pedal stopped working. A wrench indicator came on. The engine stopped working. I pulled to the side of the road and the engine started shaking. I turned the engine off then restarted it. It functioned fine. This happened twice in 2 days. It's the electronic throttle body. Ford won't fix the issue for free. It has 44k miles on it. An obvious manufacturer defect

Fuel pump control module failure. No start intermittent. Could have been stuck 5 hours away if it would've been a week earlier. No warning lights or indications previously.
The contact owns a 2015 Ford Taurus. The contact stated while attempting to start the vehicle, the vehicle would not start. The contact stated that she attempted to get a jump start however, the vehicle still would not start. The contact stated there was no warning light illuminated. The vehicle was then towed to a local dealer where it was diagnosed with the fuel pump module and the battery needing to be replaced. The vehicle was not repaired. The contact was relating the failure to NHTSA campaign number: 16V621000 (Fuel system, Gasoline). The manufacturer had been informed of the failure and informed the contact to call back after the vehicle was diagnosed. The failure mileage was approximately 67,000.
Twice the power went off on my car while driving on the highway. I was lucky to be able to pull off the road. Waited a few minutes and got power back. The car makes noise when going down the road, and I have always been told that the Ford Taurus does this. They said nothing was wrong. The noise is where you wonder if you are safe, and probably would never find a buyer for the vehicle. The car sounds like an electrical problem sometimes from the radio, and when I use the phone. Weird. The blue lights on the dash board can be blinding. Had my eyes checked by a specialist and not my eyes. One time I had left my car running in park in the driveway and when walking around to the other side of the car, the car rolled out of my driveway and damaged the door on the garage door. Obviously the car losing power twice on a highway is a serious issue. This happened two years ago, and two months ago was the second time.
It will just cut off in the middle of nowhere want crank the gas hand will go up and it will say it doesn't have gas then I turn the car off let it sit then the gas hand will go up.I can let the car run it can be on a half tank then let it run about 10mins then its on empty tank of gas.. it will just stop in the street
When driving on the highway using adaptive cruise control it will shut off and say 'collision warning not available/ adapted cruise control not available' it is intermittent but has not been working for 2 days now. As well as if not working normal cruise control doesn't work.
The contact owns a 2015 Ford Taurus. The contact stated that the vehicle failed to start while attempting to drive. No warning light was illuminated. The vehicle was towed to koons sterling Ford (46869 harry byrd hwy, sterling, va 20164) and was diagnosed that the fuel pump failed and needed to be replaced. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was not made aware of the failure. The failure mileage was unknown.
Car stalls without warning while driving. Has happened twice since I bought the car this spring. Once I was completing a turn from a stop the other time I was doing a consistent speed of about 40mph. No warning lights before or after, just a notification the 'transmission not in park' once the car wasn't running. Each time the dealer put it on the computer and said there is no issue found. There is a recall for 2013-1015 Taurus however my VIN isn't included in the fuel pump electric module replacement though stalling is an issue cited in that recall. Dealer says there is no problem with the fuel pump electric module because the computer says so. I left my car at the dealership for about 3 weeks thinking it might be an electrical problem since the gps intermittently doesn't work the panic alarm goes off multiple times a week for no reason. Dealer suggests replacing the sd card. I am afraid to drive my car, especially with the deaths recently from cars stalling. I will most likely pay out of pocket to change the fuel pump electric module as I can't avoid the highway forever. I will be happy to send you the part once it is replaced if it will help investigate the problem. Hopefully that will solve the problem, otherwise I am not sure what to do. Help please! I don't have police reports or accident photos thankfully.
I bought a new battery and its drain because of its saying check charge system in dont know what else to.do I lost my job because my vehicle stop running
"takata recall" the first occurrence was in March 2018. I am not the first owner. I got the vehicle exactly 2 months and it won't accelerate. It was towles to a garage and I paid $975 9fuel pump and electrical. On 2/4/2019, the vehicle stopped accelerating while I was in traffic again.
When I was driving in the highway the car just suddenly starts to slow down and stalls, I try to hit the gas, but nothing happens with the car, it just continues to slow down until it does not move anymore. I have to quickly get out of the highway and get to the median because of the fear of getting hit. This is extremely dangerous when I am on the road as suddenly stopping can cause a car to hit me from behind.
The contact owns a 2015 Ford Taurus. The contact stated that the windshield washer fluid pump failed to function. The electrical lining at the top of the pump was rusted. The part was replaced by the contact. The dealer was not contacted. The manufacturer was notified of the failure. The approximate failure mileage was approximately 30,000.
Takata recall my 2015 Ford Taurus keep giving me the same problems after I went to a Ford dealer and purchased the fuel pump module and replace it 3 weeks later the car stall with me while I was driving on the thruway. In this matter I truly think that its unsafe to drive a vehicle with that type of problem, and it happen not just once but three times the vehicle is only 2 years old
I was driving on highway 242 East bound on the fast lane doing 65 mph and on a cure my vehicles power steering gave out I was forced into two lanes before I had time to react luckily there were no other drivers next to me.the traction control light came on and the steering was really had to turn. It's bine that way ever since.
On the dash the electronic gauge for milage stopped working, on the body the alarm goes off when the passenger side doors are closed, the rear doors get full of water and now they are rusting both left and right.
