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 nhtsa. 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

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 nhtsa takes this seriously.

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.

'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.

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.

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 nhtsa, case# [xxx]. *tt information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u.s.c. 552(b)(6). *tr

Tl* the contact owns a 2015 ford taurus. the contact received notification of nhtsa campaign number: 16v621000 (fuel system, gasoline); however, the part to do the repair was unavailable. the contact stated that the manufacturer exceeded a reasonable amount of time for the recall repair. the manufacturer was made aware of the issue. the contact had not experienced a failure.

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.
