2015 Ford Taurus fuel system complaints

Filed Oct 24, 2016 · Fuel system · 94,000 miles · LA

Ford issued a recall of the 2013-2015 taurus, but only with the turbo-charged engine. Recall is for fuel pump modules. The car can stop receiving fuel or not start altogether. Once it stops receiving fuel, it will not start. This can happen while driving. Although my vehicle is not turbo charged, it happened to me on my 2015 ford taurus with the 3.5 l engine. 2 weeks ago, it refused to start. Dealership, rountree ford in shreveport, could not figure out what happened. Took a shot in the dark and replace the fuel pump relays. Wrong answer. Last week, while driving, it shut down in downtown little rock while I was driving it. Fortunately, I was able to get it to the curb, but it would not restart. Dealership, north point ford is now fixing it. Said it was the fuel pump, although the safety bulletin says fuel pump module. I am out 2 towing fees as well as car rental 2 weeks in a row. Not good. Ford, recall all 3.5 liter ford taurus because it is not just turbo charged!! *tr updated 7/9/18*jb

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 !

While I was merging into traffic onto an interstate, during rush hour, the car quit accelerating. Suddenly, there was no ability to control engine speed. As I glanced at the dash I noticed the wrench warning light and it said see manual. I was almost side swiped by another vehicle but was able avoid the car and was able to coast to a stop on the side of the interstate. When I pressed the button, the car shut off and when I depressed it again, the car started. I was able to merge into traffic and head home. One the way home, on the interstate, the same vehicle malfunction occurred again. There was a car behind me but I quickly turned my flashers on and was able to coast to the side of he interstate. I took the car to the dealership to have it looked at and at this time they have not been able to isolate the problem. Hard to trust the safety & reliability of the vehicle when the authorized service professionals can't find the problem. Additionally, they said the computer did not store all of the codes and all they had was a PCM communication error code. This is a serious safety issue, particularly if it requires frequent driving in heavily congested traffic, and if you are traveling at higher speeds on the interstate.
