Driving 65mph and the steering wheel locked up and the brakes weren’t working as they should. Check engine light came on. Was able to pull off the road. Shut off vehicle for awhile. Then it worked as it should. No repairs at this time but sounds like it will continue to happen.

The contact owns a 2015 Ford Taurus. The contact stated while driving approximately 65 MPH, the temperature gauges were fluctuating. The contact pulled over and turn off and restarted the vehicle several times; however, the gauges were still fluctuating. Additionally, the contact stated that there was a leak seen underneath the vehicle. The check engine and temperature gauge warning lights were illuminated. The vehicle was taken to an independent mechanic, where it was diagnosed that the water pump and catalytic converter needed to be replaced. The contact then made a local dealer aware of the failure and it was confirmed that there was no related recall on the VIN for the failure. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure and the contact was advised to file a complaint with the federal safety agency hotline. The failure mileage was unknown.

03/16/2021 Was the purchase date. The battery was pretty much dead when we took it in for its first oil change (about a month after purchase), they may still have record of it. The check engine light has been on since June. The front head light wiring was faulty, not sure if the person has any record of it. But I can ask that finally got fixed in December. The check engine light was only read at the auto store. Unfortunately due to me losing my job, the cobuyer (my fiancé) has been responsible for all bills and we can’t afford to have it looked at in depth. We purchased a limited warranty when we got the car, but every time we contacted them. They were rude and very put off. They made it seem like we were the issue and not the car. And they NEVER let us bring it in to have it looked at. We are paying almost $475 for a car that has had major problems since purchasing it.

I parked the car after work and the next morning it wouldn't start. No warning, no check engine lights or anything. I have to have the car towed to the dealership and find out 3 days later it is the fuel pump driver module. Why wouldn't I get any warning this was going out?

While driving the car and low or high speeds it will stall in the middle of driving it. No engine lights will be on or any type of warning. Once it stalls and the vehicle is turned off and then turned back on it will work fine until it will do it again. With the recalls of some of these models I looked up the VIN number and there is no recall however it seems based on research we are having the same problem as other fords were having with the fuel system.

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 driving on highway the engine turns off. Has done that about 8 times now. Took to dealer and they said nothing was wrong. The check engine is now on and took to auto zone and it's the throttle sticking open and shut. Taking back to dealer on monday !
