Please note that from the time i purchased the vehicle brand new the doors and roof have leaked. The same garage has continued to try and glue the molding in the outside. Now the back window area had the cloth sagging down. I was told it was a design problem and that the police car taurus was experiencing the same problems. After having a problem trying to steer the vehicle, I pulled over to the side of the road and put the car in park. Suddenly the Steering Assist notification appeared and I could not move the steering wheel. I had the car towed to the Ford Garage that services my car. Upon checking all available literature on the 2014 Taurus the failure of the steering is a common problem. Ford has recalled Taurus models up to the year 2013 but not 2014.. I contacted Ford and they gave me a case number to document my concern in the event of a Ford issued recall. How many complaints do they need before the problem is corrected by Ford and not the consumer spending up to 4000. To fix the problem. Perhaps it is a design defect.

Water pump failure causing a major leak. Because the vehicle is designed to have the water pump run on the timing chain and the oil pan right underneath the water pump, the coolant leaks right into the oil pan and coolant enters the engine. I was driving on a back road and had to abruptly pull over on the side of the road because the driver assist screen said -??engine coolant overheating.-?? This was the first and only time this message appeared. There was smoke coming from under the hood. Numerous mechanics that I-??ve spoken to said that if I drove it any longer, there-??s a good chance the engine could blow. So now I-??m looking at a $3,000+ repair for this. Realistically, any other make and model (that was designed with common sense) with a failed water pump should cost $500-1,000. And won-??t run the risk of ruining your engine on top of it. I spoke to several Ford dealers and third party mechanics. Every one of them knew exactly what I was talking about like they had seen this many times before. The third party mechanics refused to fix it because it-??s an 11+ hour labor None of them said there are any pro-??s to having the water pump connected to the timing chain. But there are many con-??s to this design. Sounds like negligence on behalf of the engineers who designed all the 3.5L and 3.7L V6-??s in the Fords. Luckily, I was going between 20-30 mph on a backroad when this occurred. Otherwise, this could have ended very badly and I-??d like to prevent this from happening to anyone else in the future.

I had this car for about 8 months in 2015 and it had carbon monoxide leakages. I sent this car to 2 different dealerships and they told me the car had no issues. I had symptoms of severe headache, blurred vision and confused state of mind all conditions associated with carbon monoxide poisoning. I bought industrial grade detectors but they did not pick up anything. However when my doctor ordered blood tests they showed serious exposure to carbon monoxide. I had the fire department come in at test my residence but there was no evidence of carbon monoxide leaks. I finally gave up the car and bought something else. My blood work came back after a retest about a month after I let the car go. I have not had these symptoms since then. This is a clear indication that the car was the problem and yet no dealership helped me out. I drove 100 miles a day in that car and I am sure had I just kept it something catastrophic would have happened. I am reporting this now due to reports of several Ford Explorer recalls. My point this that this issue is not limited to Ford Explorer. Ford Taurus at least 2014 needs investigated as well as peoples life are at stake. I can provide blood work reports if needed.

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.

As I was driving down the highway at 70 plus mph my car lost acceleration power this makes the 3 time it has done this, but this time I was stuck in the fast lane with now power because a car was in the slow lane, I was stuck I had to throw on my emergency blinkers and wait before I could get over to the shoulder I had cars locking it up behind me about hitting me. This is very very dangerous. As I was looking up what it could be I have seen multiple complaints about this, I don't understand why this hasn't been looked into my car is a 2014 car with less then 50K miles.

I have had to have my drivers window worked on twice. It tends to squeal loudly when putting down, as if glass rubbing metal. This happens, no matter if you are sitting, rolling, etc. Ford has adjusted twice now under 36K.
