While driving at 55 MPH on busy road, vehicle lost power. Almost rear-ended before being able to coast into empty parking lot. Went into limp mode. Could not accelerate. Vehicle maintenance indicator with wrench came on. Turned car off. Waited one minute. Car restarted. No indicator light. This is the second time this has happened with this vehicle. The first time this happened on 6/18/19, I researched and found a recall 16s31 for models built in chicago. My vehicle VIN was not included in recall. I took the car to dealership, they could not find an error code or recreate failure. I still had them replace the part under the recall at a cost to myself. Part was new fuel pump control module. I filed complaint 11220834 with the federal safety agency. My fear is this is going to happen again and if I am on the expressway, the results could be catastrophic.
Car shuts off with no warning while driving at different speeds. Wheel locks up no power period. After a couple of minutes resets itself and start again. If you try to start imediatly, will not start. Has happened several times over past few months
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.
Takata recall, faulty fuel pump, with no check engine light on, or no warning. Drove it to work just fine , and when I got of 8 hours later it wouldnt turn over. Like I said no warning whatsoever. Had to have it towed off my work parking lot and took it to a ford dealership and they said it was the fuel pump
Tl* the contact owns a 2015 ford taurus. While driving 5 MPH and making a turn, the vehicle stalled and the oil change message was displayed. The vehicle was towed to an independent lot and the tow truck driver stated that the fuel pump was inoperable. The contact called academy ford (13401 baltimore ave, laurel, md 20707, (800) 658-7794) and informed them of the failure. The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. The manufacturer was contacted and referred the contact to the local dealer. The failure mileage was 80,000.
I was driving at highway speed when my engine died and the wrench light came on. The car stalled very rapidly. Luckily I was able to make it to the shoulder before an oncoming traffic could collide with me. After restarting my car, I was able to drive home without further incident. This problem has happened multiple times since. I checked and my model is not eligible for recall 16v621000. I don't understand why ford is not recalling all taurus of this year range as the problem does not seem isolated to just the ecoboost engines. There are many people reporting the same issue with non-ecoboost engines. This is not right to gamble with people's safety. I would really hope that the federal safety agency takes this seriously.

The vehicle automatically shuts off with no warning. You may be in the middle of heavy traffic or in your driveway - it shuts off with no apparent reason. The fuel pump module was replaced 1 year ago and has no begun the same thing again. We purchased this car thinking it would be safe for our son. Now we do not want him driving it

As my wife drove her 2015 ford taurus down highway 395 the car suddenly cut off without any warning. Luckily we had enough room behind us before the big rig following behind could avoid us as we pulled out of the way. Took the car to ford via aaa. They informed me it was a fuel module relay. This was a mass recall situation for ford. Coincidentally my VIN was not on the recall list for a widely known problem. Now I'm forced to pay for repairs. I request that all cars made from 2013 to the end of 2015 or newer be placed on the recall list. Luckily it didn't result in a horrific accident.

Vehicle stalled multiple times at highway speeds on busy interstate. After a few start/stall cycles, motor would not start at all. Full fuel tank, well maintained vehicle, with only about 42k miles and no damage history. Needed to push off roadway, very hazardous situation. Towed to garage, currently awaiting diagnosis.
'takata recall' not understanding why the fuel contol module is not recalled for my car being I am having to pay to get it changed out myself. Drove it all day, stopped a few times. By 10:00 at night in a walmart parking lot with my family my car won't start. I have to get it towed for the third time of me having this car. First time I put it in the shop at a ford dealership they changed a fuse and battery second time I put it in the shop they change pump and body contol mod. Now the third time I have the same issue with this car doing the same thing *cranking with no turn over* I get told it's a fuel contol mod. You should have the recall across the board for these cars. Instead of the owners having to spend 500 to replace it by the dealership.
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.
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.
Service engine soon indicator came on. Later, the car stalled on the highway, almost causing an accident. Dealer could not provide an answer to why this happened. Upon investigating this issue myself, I found safety recall 16s31 which described the exact symptoms experienced with my car. My car was manufactured at the ford chicago plant during the designated time period of the recall, yet my VIN # was not part of the recall. Ford dealer agreed that the reason for the recall could have been the cause of my car shutting down on the highway. This situation is too potentially dangerous if it occurs again. I contacted ford, they would not accept fault and told me they would report the incident to the federal safety agency, case# [xxx]. *tt information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u.s.c. 552(b)(6).
Car stalled while going 50 MPH, lights inside worked fine, notice alerted me on the dash that car was not in park. I was unable to accelerate, pulled to a stop on the side of the road and put the car in park and turned the vehicle off. Restarted and it restarted just fine. I noticed there were recalls on the 2015 ford taurus that were made in the chicago plant for very similar problems but mine is not included. 37000 miles on the vehicle. Pretty dangerous for it to just stall when going that fast for no apparent reason.
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 purchased a 2015 ford taurus with 34,000 miles on it the beginning of october 2015. About a month ago I had a problem with the vehicle stalling out and then not starting. I spoke to someone at the local ford dealership and was told to reset the fuel pump relay. After doing that the car cranked fine. I did online research of the vehicle and discovered that the 2013 to 2015 fuel pump relay on many of the same vehicles have been recalled. I searched my VIN number and found that my particular vehicle was not a part of the recall. In my research I also found out that this particular part shuts off the fuel supply in the event of an accident to prevent fire or explosion. And also that usually this part lasts throughout the lifetime of a vehicle unless it is faulty. Two days ago the car stalled and again will not crank I tried to reset the fuel pump relay again but it will still not grea to prevent fire or explosion. And also that usually this part lasts throughout the lifetime of a vehicle unless it is faulty. Two days ago the car stalled and again will not crank I tried to reset the fuel pump relay again but it will still not crank. I have been told by a ford mechanic that it is a faulty fuel pump relay. I contacted ford again to question if this part should have been made part of the recalled because this vehicle was built during the same time that the recalled relays were used. I was told by ford customer service that the national highway traffic and safety administration and the engineering department of ford need to be contacted to further help me in this matter to determine if this part should have in fact been added to the recall list. Thank you for your time and attention.
