This vehicle was sold to me with a not for sale in states requiring California emissions, no governor on the vehicle as well faulty lighting mechanisms. The fuel pump is fluctuating and the car is a danger to myself and those around me. I consulted with a independent licensed mechanic who confirmed these defaults. No warning lights no messages and the dealer did not point out these flaws. I discovered this issue after getting some routine maintenance done on the vehicle

The exact situation which is listed on this Ford recall has affected my Taurus. However, this issue is not connected with my VIN even though my window sticker says it was assembled in Chicago. The car would start and then stop, it would not start back up, or it would do a combination. It wasn't the same every time. The dealer I had work on my car replaced the fuel pump driver module and informed me about the recall but I was never able to get in touch with Ford. I have recently been able to connect with Ford and they said it wasn't associated with my VIN and there was nothing they could do or submit to try for reimbursement since it's been over 90 days from when the work was performed.
My vehicle engine stopped running in traffic and would not restart. I had the vehicle towed to my usual service shop. The reason the car stopped and would not restart was diagnosed as a failure of the fuel pump electric module (Ford part GA8Z 9D370 A). My service shop was advised by the Ford parts dealer that there was a recall (# 16V621000) in 2016 for that part. I contacted Ford and was advised that my vehicle VIN was not part of that recall. Do not know why. Certainly, a vehicle that stops running in traffic creates a safety hazard to that vehicle and other vehicle on the road.
Over the weekend I noticed my steering was making a cluck noise from both the front and rear making the car very uncomfortable to ride and it kinda moves more left or a little right when on highway. I also noticed my check engine light came on. I took the car to get looked and the diagnosis read I have bad fuel pump line or evap dont know smell fuse of gas, gas gauge goes up an down. I was to notify the federal safety agency and to Report this incident and whether to see if theirs any Recall to my Vehicle. Please and thank you.
The fuel pump control module is failing, which is causing the engine to not start and or keeps stalling when turning the key. My mechanic gave me the recall and directed me to my nearest ford dealership, but when given the VIN number they said there is 0 recalls on my vehicle. Therefor this recall is VIN specific and will not cover my repairs. The mechanic did agree this is a problem with the make and model but not specific to my vehicle. Upsetting and confused why my vehicle is not included in this recall.
My fuel pump went bad. My vehicle is no longer operating and I think that the fuel pump for my specific vehicle needs to be investigated for a recall.

Occurs every 2000 to 3000 miles when slowing down to stop. As I get near the idle speed (2-3 MPH) with my foot on the brake peddle the engine starts to rev up and pull the car forward. I have to throw the transmission into neutral and the engine RPM's spike up to 5000 to 6000 and then immediately settles out to an idle speed. I had a tuneup done at 100k miles and part of the service was to "reset" the computer system. The shop ran a full diagnostic. This did not resolve the problem. I'm at about 118k miles now. This problem started to occur after about 75k miles during calendar year 2018.

For the past 3-4 months my vehicle has a problem on start up (hot and cold) pressing gas and acceleration on street, highway, merging into traffic, etc - car runs very rough, sputters, hesitates and stalls. Eventually, on january 7, 2020 my vehicle did not start at all. It cranked but still would not start. Had battery checked (which was strong and fine) and had recent full tune-up done within the past 30 days of this complaint. Had taken my vehicle to the dealer for this same problem at least three(3) times with no result except to pay money for things that did not need to be done.
Went to start vehicle and the vehicle's fuel pump did not make a sound. Checked the fuses to the fuel pump and they checked out good. Took a power probe to the fuel pump and fuel pump worked. Discovered it was the fuel pump relay behind rear seat on passenger side. Replaced and it fixed the issue.
While vehicle was driving down the road it suddenly lost power and stopped. Vehicle was able to be pushed off of the roadway and found to have a faulty fuel pump module.
The vehicle has struggled to start after refueling at a gas station with a hiccuping type feeling, as well as being inconsistent on power under acceleration. Sometimes very slow with a sudden pull, sometimes quick and responsive, it varies a lot by day.
My vehicle will intermittently shut off while in the middle of driving, and sometimes will hesitate to even crank. All fingers point to the fuel control module, which I believe have been recalled and this year and model of my vehicle. This has happened on a few occasions.
Around july 09, 2019 my power steering went completely out while I was driving. This was very scary and dangerous. I contacted ford after reading several reviews of the same thing happening to other 2014 ford taurus sel. Ford stated that while the recall applies to other 2014 taurus sel, it does not apply to mine. I had to pay $2300 at roy obrien ford to get my vehicle repaired. Ford has refused to extend the recall to include my vehicle in this recall. I am requesting help from the nshp and the dot to help me please. On october 17, 2019 my car cut off while I was driving again. This very dangerous. It would not restart. My vehicle was towed to the dealer again and I was advised that my fuel pump went out. Again, there is a recall on the fuel pump for 2013-2017 ford taurus sel but again ..my vehicle is not included. I am requesting an investigation into this mattter immediately.
Car will crank but not start. No issues until the no start. In a parking lot and was backing up and when put it in drive it died. It would crank and start for a few seconds and then die. And then it stopped cranking. Unplugged fuel pump control module and then plugged back in and started fine but with a check engine light
Fuel pump relay overheated and caught on fire behind back seat near gas tank. Part melted and vehicle is inoperable. Toddler car seat was located in front of fire location.
First issue: when trying to start my car it would turn over about 60 seconds and the inside would turn on such as dash but engine would not start. Stationary second issue: today 7/22/19 while driving down the interstate my car just shut itself off as if not getting any fuel, could have caused a major accident thankfully it wasnt rush hour. In motion beaumont tx - they said my car did not fall under the recall but its doing the same thing as what the recall states.
