2014 Ford Taurus fuel system complaints
Page 3 of 4: complaints 41 to 70 of 71, newest first, as owners wrote them.
Sometime in march 2019 my car didnt want to start.it had been parked over night at my house. I tried to start it and it just kept turning over but no start. I called the dealership and they had it towed to the dealer. I was advised that it was the battery. I was charged about $185 to buy another battery. The car was working fine until may 2, 2019 it was parked at my place of employment and had to leave it there over night and have it towed the next morning to the dealership. The wanted to charge me $400 to get it replaced. My arguement is I could of saved $185 on a battery that didnt need replacing and 2 months later they wanted me to ditch out more money. I had to arguement with them for several hours. Till the manager said that they will take care of the cost. But it shouldnt had lead to that. I know several ford taurus have been recalled but not my VIN number. I dont understand why when they are all fords taurus 2014 and they are having the same problem. I wouldnt of spend $185 on money I dont have to spend.
I attempted to start my vehicle in my garage. Motor would crank but not start. I knew it was a fuel issue, so I googled the problem. I came across an issue with the fuel pump relay on 2013-2015 taurus, flex, and inteceptors. Mostly related to law enforcement vehicles and civilian super charged engines that had a recall for this fuel pump relay modular. My taurus is only a sel, and I saw where many other people were having the same issue with their everyday 2013-2015 ford vehicle. These people replaced their own fuel pump relay module and fixed their problem. I decided to try it myself. Sure enough; I, a single mom on a very fixed income, gets a ride to my local auto parts store, buys the fuel pump relay module for $75.00, install the part myself, and it worked like a charm! There needs to be a recall on all of these 2013-2015 ford taurus's so people like myself and the other few I came across online can get our money back, and prevent others from having to go through the panic of having only one vehicle (that should be very dependable) that won't start. I called ford and they told me they would not issue any recall, the recall had to come from the federal safety agency. I am truly hoping that someone at the federal safety agency will address this issue asap.

My car will not start it seems like it is out of gas but it doesn"t be. I have taken it back to the dealership where I got it from and they just tell me to buy batteries. It has done this at least 5 times. Another ford dealership put a fuel pump relay switch on and it did it again.when it does this it is parked.
The vehicle will sometimes crank but will not start. It happens more often on hot days and when parked with the passenger side towards the sun. The local dealer is unable to diagnose the problem. I left the car with the dealer from 6/8/2018-6/20/2018 and the car only failed to start one time and they were unable to find the reason. Since picking the car up it has failed to start three times. I checked online and found that there is an issue with the fuel pump relay. I pulled the relay from our car and it is the same one that has a recall except ours is on a taurus limited not the sho. I recommend recalling all vehicles with the same fuel pump relay regardless of model/trim. I have attached a photo of our car's fuel pump relay.

This vehicle stalls while in motion on both city streets and on highways. At times it will not run at all. I learned that certain 2014 ford taurus models have been recalled for this same problem. I had it repaired in october 2017, at the local ford dealer and the fuel pump module was replaced. Presently the same problem has re-occurred.
Fuel pump control module failed causing engine to stall and not able to be restarted. Fortunately at the time I was at the side of the road idling, however I was 5 minutes away from getting on the highway. Parked car, and purchased replacement fuel module from ford dealer and able to get car running again. Ford has issued recall 16s31, however my '14 taurus with a naturally aspirated 3.5l is not included in that recall. Part number of the module is aa8a-9d412-ca and supplier code doesn't appear to be one of the stated suppliers that is ok to use. Supplier code appears to be -oc. See attached photo and compare to information supplied in recall 16s31. Replacement part is p/n aa8z-9d370-b. Dealer cost with tax for the part was approx. $70
I drove my car just fine on sunday. When I got in the car to go to work monday morning, the engine would crank, but it wouldn't start. So I called my mechanic who came over with a machine. They found that fuel was not getting to the engine although I had half a tank of gas. There is no kill switch on my model car, for them to reset thinking I had hit a bump and somehow set off the theft feature that kills fuel to the engine when my car thinks it being stolen(?). They were able to bypass something to get the car to crank which determined the fuel pump was in working order. They were looking for the fuel pump control module when we found the federal safety agency #16v621000, which shows the 2013-2015 ford taurus models (which I have), "a component within the fuel pump electric module (pem) may overheat causing a loss of electrical power to the fuel pump. I recall recently that while I was driving one day I could smell something burning, an electrical wiring smell, but since my car still ran didn't think anything about it. When you type in my VIN, this recall does not show up, but when you enter the year, make and model it does show up. I strongly urge the proper people at ford to look into this. I thank jesus that my vehicle didn't stall while driving.
My care only has 46+ thousand miles on it. In february of 2017, I came out to start my car as I have done every day since I got it as a used car at 22,000 miles . The car would not start. It just turned over, but would not start! I had it towed to a certified mechanic, and it was found to be a bad fuel module under the back seat. It was replaced and drove fine for about 6 months. It did it again in early july 2017. Took it back, module was bad again. Replaced again. Drove it for 1 day, tank full of 93 gas, it shuts off in the middle of the road, engine light comes on, and would not start (it turned over, but would not start like it was out of gas). I checked for a recall, and in august 25, 2016 the federal safety agency did a recall on campaign number: 16v621000. I called ford as directed to do, and was told my car did not have a recall on the fuel system. I argued that I have the campaign number, but the person vehemently refused to even look up the number. The car is back in the shop. I love my car, but I am frustrated that ford will not acknowledge the recall from august 2016. What do I do? I can upload all of my invoices form my mechanic when he provides the to me.
Car engine shut off while vehicle was in drive on the freeway, twice this hads happened. Causing me to coast with little to absolute no control over the acceleration/speed of the vehicle, again bother times car was in motion on the highway going approximately 65mph. Car sits and cools down after a time passes approximately 15 -30 min and car will start back up. All electronic components work as far as dash, lights, radio, etc. Please note there is a similar recall of the same make and year but different trim... Also the complaints are very similar.
2014 ford taurus recall: my car wouldn't start after being parked, I replaced the battery, and it still would not start. No check engine lights or warnings came on. I was checking online and found that there is a recall out for my make model & year of car for a fuel pump control module malfunction but didn't include my VIN. I got it towed to a local auto shop and diagnosed and this was specifically the issue. I had to pay out of pocket because my VIN# hadn't been inclusive of this recall. I need to get my VIN added, my car had the same problem as the ones covered, so I can get reimbursed.
Two months ago my car won't start. After some research I noticed the most likely cause of the problem was the fuel pump control module. Then I found out that ford had issued a safety recall for the issue. I called the ford dealership and the recall was for a different size engine. Last week I was driving home on the interstate going the speed limit of 70 MPH and the car quit. The recall states "in the affected vehicles, the fuel pump control module could fail, which may cause an engine to not start or stall. In some cases, the engine could stall without warning while driving and without the ability to restart, increasing the risk of a crash." https://media.ford.com/content/fordmedia/fna/us/en/news/2016/08/24/ford-issues-two-safety-recalls-and-one-safety-compliance-recall-.html. Now the ford dealership wants to charge me $700 for the fuel control pump module just because the recall is only for a larger engine.

Two days ago I experience a problem I had with my car it would not start and after getting my car battery tested and informed it was good I then had my fuel pump replaced after being informed that was my problem and still my car would not start it did at first start but suddenly died out and afterwards noticed a recall on this same year make and model could I possibly be one of the few who is effected by this recall?
My car was driving fine on monday night with no problems noted. On tuesday morning upon getting ready to leave for work, my car stationary sitting outside the house. I tried to use the push button to start the car as I always do but the car only made starting noises, it never cranked. At first, I thought maybe my battery was dead but it is getting charge. It wasn't the key fob malfunctioning either. I tried multiple times to crank the car but it will not start. The gas gauge showed a low fuel light so gas was added just to make sure that it wasn't too low to register. That did not work, either. I believe something is wrong with the fuel pump as there is a recall out on other cars like mine.
