2013 FORD TAURUS Engine Problems

No heat gauge, oil pressure gauge on vehicle. Blend door issue, one side blows hot, other cold. Radio not working. Weird noise in dash by ignition. Ignition sticks when trying to start car, keeps turning over. Dimmer switch doesn't work. Car can be tracked by unknown people, without permission.

There is a defeat in my Ford catalytic converter. I would like I sent the part to the NHTSA.DOT.GOV for research. I am attaching pictures of the defective product.

The contact owns a 2013 Ford Taurus. The contact stated while driving approximately 45 MPH, the vehicle shutoff without warning. The vehicle was towed to an independent mechanic and was informed that water was leaking, the water pump had failed, and the timing chain was fractured. The local dealer was not contacted. The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. The manufacturer was contacted and referred the contact to the NHTSA Hotline for assistance. The failure mileage was approximately 70,000.

I’m not having any success with my local Ford Dealership or with Ford Customer Service getting my car covered under the Customer Satisfaction Program. I have fuel system issues, I need to replace both cats and 2 bad sensors, halfshaft, fuel system, and braking issues. The dealership said to contact Ford and Ford says it’s the dealership’s problem. If they don’t fix it, I’m done with Ford. If they can’t stand behind their products and their dealerships won’t help the customers, then my loyalty is done. I’ve already had to replace a poorly designed PTU at my expense and now this, buyer beware on Interceptors. Let’s hope I don’t have any other issues. No one seems to be willing to help and I’m beyond frustrated with this experience.

I have a check engine light on my dash. I have several codes. I have problems with the car like the fuel pump, catalytic converter not functioning efficiently, steering, etc. I know Ford has problems with its cars.

Please investigate this matter. I have reason to believe my car has a defeat, just like most 2013 police interceptor the were recalled due to code p0420. I went to AutoNation Ford Miami they said they have seen defects on my catalytic converter and I would like an investigation completed. I went to AutoNation Ford on Saturday, 12/16/2023 for the GSM IOLM System Service - 80,000 Miles Repair. The dealer believes it is a defeat, I would have to contact Ford. Therefore I am contacting NHTSA to investigate this matter. I get a service repair done on 12/16/2023 - 80,000 Miles Package Service. I brought the car to AutoNation Ford in good shape. I never had the engine light on, and the car drove great.Sunday,12/17/2023 in the morning, I wanted to go to the park, so I get in the car and unbelievably the car engine light turns on. The...

My ford's water pump broken first time in 2020 since and then now i'm on my 5th time to change this water pump and the mechanicians were unable to explain what happened exactly. now the water pump broken and need replacement again.

UNKNOWN, the vehicle comes to a sudden stop regardless of how fast your going , error comes up says see manual , engine overheating comes on after driving less than 5 miles

2 different PTU's have burned up, waterpump blew up

My water pump started to leak at 114398 miles. The crankshaft oil seal had to be replaced. This repair because of the flawed design cost 3,245.78. I would like ford to refund the cost of the repair.

The contact's daughter owns a 2013 Ford Taurus. The contact stated while driving approximately 55 MPH, the vehicle stalled. The vehicle was not able to be restarted and veered to the side of the road. The vehicle was towed to an independent mechanic where the contact was informed that the engine and valves needed to be replaced. The contact stated that the cause of the failure was due to the water pump not operating as needed, and that antifreeze had intruded into the engine oil. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was not notified of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 149,000.

Internal water pump failure caused large amounts of pressure on the the coolant system. When I opened the hood my coolant reservoir cracked and shot hot plastic and coolant at my face.

On 7/31/2022, and also about a month ago, my 2013 Ford Taurus Limited stalled out while driving and the wrench light came on. The car limped along until I could pull it over, but this could have been serious as I was on the highway doing 65mph just 2 minutes prior to it. It stalled coming up the upramp here in Phoenix. I got it into the parking lot, and gave it gas and nothing at all, the engine just sputtered as the wrench light was on. I turned it off for 2 minutes, and restarted and able to get home 4 minutes away. This is the 2nd time this has now happened, and this is a huge safety concern. Ford Taurus had recalls on the Powertrain Control Module for other years of the Taurus, but I do not want to pay for this fix as this is a Ford...

I believe there is a an unissued recall for my Engine type. The cost to replace a water pump exceeds normal circumstances due to Ford engineers placing the water pump inside of the engine instead of outside making it a $2000 to $5000 job instead of a $200 job. Instead of a water pump simply leaking onto the ground while mounted outside of the Engine the way they have designed it it leaks into the engine and causes the engine to fail due to Engine coolant leaking into the engine through the water pump.

ENGINE STALLING RUNNING AT 10 MILES A HOUR. IS THERE A RECALL NUMBER 20504?

RIVERTOWN FORD HAS CLAIMED TO INSPECT THE REAR TOELINK AND COULD NOT HAVE CONSIDERING I'VE FELT THE REAR END TRAILING FROM TIME TO TIME AND NOTICED UPON INSPECTION DEPLOYED BY MYSELF VISUALLY THAT THE DRIVER SIDE TOELINK HAD BEEN CRACKING. WHEN I NOTIFIED FORD BY PHONE THE DEALERSHIP AT THAT TIME BRUSHED ME OFF WHEN I FINALLY TALKED THEM INTO AT LEAST DOING A MULTI POINT INSPECTION THAT I PAID FOR THEY CLAIMED THEY HADN'T NOTICED ANYTHING. THEY THEN AND SINCE THEN REFUSE TO EVEN LOOK AT THE SUSPENSION WITHOUT A 300$ FEE.

ENGINE STALLS WHEN COMING TO A STOP OR SLOWING DOWN.

A WRENCH APPEARS IN THE DISPLAY AND CAR GOES INTO LIMP MODE. YOU CUT THE CAR OFF AND REMOVE THE KEY AND THEN IT START BACK UP WITH NO ALARM CODE LEFT ON THE VEHICLE. THIS IS VERY DANGEROUS IF DRIVING ON THE HWY.

MY CAR HAD A HARD START AND ROUGH IDLE. 02 SENSORS WERE ORDERED BECAUSE IF THE CODE IT WAS GIVING OFF. DAYS LATER MY CAR THREW A WENCH SIGN, ONLY ONCE AFTER THE CAR TURNED OFF IT DIDN'T SHOW UP AGAIN. THE CAR STARTED JERKING, THE RPMS WERE JUMPING AND THE CAR ACTUALLY SHUT OFF ON ME WHILE DRIVING. AFTER LOOKING UP THESE CODES THIS WAS AN ISSUE MANY OTHERS WERE HAVING WITH THIS CAR AND OTHER FORD MODELS. IT HAS SINCE TURNED ON, RAN FOR SECONDS, AND TURN OFF SHORTLY AFTER. EACH TIME A CODE IS RAN IT SHOWS SOMETHING DIFFERENT THAN IT DID PREVIOUSLY.

WHILE DRIVING ON HIGHWAY OVER 60 MPH, ON OCTOBER 18, 2019 AT APPROXIMATELY 19:30 CALIFORNIA TIME, WRENCH SYMBOL APPEARED, AND I LOST ACCELERATION.

DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD AND ALL OF A SUDDEN THE CAR INDICATED IT WAS OVERHEATING. SO I PULLED OVER AND SEEN THAT THE CAR WAS SPEWING COOLANT EVERYWHERE. FROM FURTHER TROUBLE SHOOTING I FOUND OUT THAT THE WATER PUMP WAS BAD AND THAT IT WAS GOING TO COST ME OVER $2000. THE WATER PUMP SHOULD NOT BE GOING OUT LIKE THAT WHEN I ONLY JUST HIT OVER 80,000 MILES. FORD NEEDS TO RECALL THESE WATER PUMPS THEY PUT ON THESE TAURUS'S.

VEHICLE QUIT ACCELERATING WHILE DRIVING DOWN A PAVED 45 MPH ROAD, WRENCH SYMBOL APPEARED ON THE DASH AND ENGINE RAN ROUGH. ACCORDING TO THE OWNERS MANUAL THE WRENCH SYMBOL INDICATES THAT THE VEHICLE WENT INTO REDUCED POWER MODE. HAD IT TOWED TO THE SHOP AND IT STARTED AND RAN NORMAL FOR HIM. THERE WERE NO ACTIVE, PENDING,OR MEMORY CODES IN THE COMPUTER SYSTEM. IT WAS DRIVEN 50 MILES WITH NO OTHER PROBLEM OCCURRING DURING THE TEST DRIVES. THERE ARE NO RECALLS ON THIS VEHICLE FOR THIS VERY DANGEROUS CONDITION EVEN THOUGH THERE ARE MANY DOCUMENTED CASES OF THE EXACT SAME PROBLEM.

ON (4) OCCASIONS IN THE LAST 2 WEEKS, A WRENCH LIGHT HAS COME ON AND MY TAURUS ENTERED LIMP MODE, CAUSING A RAPID DECELERATION WITH THE INABILITY TO MAINTAIN A SAFE SPEED WITH OTHER TRAFFIC ON THE HIGHWAY. IN ALL BUT ONE OF THESE INSTANCES, I WAS IN A CENTER TRAVEL LANE ON A 4 LANE HIGHWAY WHERE THE FLOW OF TRAFFIC REGULARLY EXCEEDS 65MPH. THE FACT THAT THIS "LIMP" MODE CAN INITIATE AND REDUCE YOUR SPEED AS DRASTICALLY AS IT DOES IS CERTAINLY A SAFETY CONCERN.

WHILE DRIVING THROUGH THE CITY, THE VEHICLE SUDDENLY OVERHEATED, WITH LITTLE TO NO WARNING IT GAVE ME A OVER TEMPERATURE WARNING, WHICH PROMPTED ME TO PULL OVER AND TURN OFF THE VEHICLE. AFTER PARKING THE VEHICLE I NOTICES LARGE AMOUNTS OF COOLANT BEING SPEWED FROM THE PRESSURE RELIEF. AFTER REPLACING THE THERMOSTAT ON THE VEHICLE, IT CONTINUED TO LEAK COOLANT, ALTHOUGH IT WAS DIFFICULT TO IDENTIFY WHERE THE LEAK WAS. AFTER 3 WEEKS AND SOME TESTING, THE DEALERSHIP WAS ABLE TO FIND A LEAK IN THE WATER PUMP. HAD THE LEAK NOT BEEN FOUND, THERE COULD HAVE BEEN SERIOUS OVERHEATING ISSUES. BASED ON WHAT I SAW WITH HOW QUICKLY THE CAR OVERHEATED WITH AND AMBIENT OUTSIDE AIR TEMPERATURE OF ABOUT 68*F IT'S A WONDER NO FORD TAURUS' HAS STARTED ON FIRE.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2013 FORD TAURUS. WHILE DRIVING VARIOUS SPEEDS, THE VEHICLE STALLED WITHOUT WARNING ON MORE THAN ONE OCCASION. CARMAX IN HENDERSON, NEVADA WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE AND REPLACED THE MASS AIR FLOW SENSOR, BUT THE FAILURE RECURRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE THE FAILURE.

CAR WAS BROUGHT IN TO CHANGE THE SERPENTINE BELT AT 76,000 MILES. TECH NOTICED THAT THE WATER PUMP WAS LEAKING THROUGH THE WEEP HOLE AND SAID THAT IT NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THIS JOB WAS QUOTED AT OVER $2000. HUNDREDS OF OTHER WATER PUMP FAILURES HAVE BEEN REPORTED, SOME AS EARLY AS 45,000 MILES, AND FORD REFUSES TO ISSUE A RECALL. THE PUMP FAILS AT THE MAIN BEARING AND SPEWS COOLANT INTO THE CRANKCASE WHICH KILLS THE ENGINE AND TOTALS THE CAR. THERE WAS NO CHECK ENGINE LIGHT, NO WARNING SIGNS WHATSOEVER. IF IT WERE NOT FOR A ROUTINE BELT CHANGE THIS ISSUE WOULD NOT HAVE BEEN CAUGHT AND WOULD HAVE RESULTED IN A CATASTROPHIC FAILURE OF THE MOTOR. THIS IS UNACCEPTABLE AS IT HAPPENS TO ALL DURATEC EQUIPPED FORD VEHICLES AND FORD REFUSES TO COVER THIS FAILURE UNDER A RECALL FOR THE DEFECTIVE WATER PUMP.

VEHICLE STALLS AND HIGH SPEEDS AND GOES INTO "LIMP MODE" WHERE VEHICLE LOSES ALL POWER AND ACCELERATION. VEHICLE IMMEDIATELY BEGINS TO DECELERATE IN TRAFFIC CAUSING A VERY DANGEROUS AND HAZARDOUS SITUATION FOR THE DRIVER AND OTHER VEHICLES. THIS HAS NOW HAPPENED 8 TIMES IN MY TAURUS 5 OF WHICH WAS IN THE INTERSTATE IN EXCESS OF 70MPH. *TT CONSUMER STATED ISSUE WAS NOT RELATED TO THE FUEL PUMP, ISSUE WAS CAUSED BY THE FAULTY THROTTLE BODY. WARRANTY DID NOT COVER THE PART AND CONSUMER ENDED UP PAYING OUT OF POCKET FOR THE REPAIR. UPDATED 7/25/18*JB *TR

THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE WHERE IT WAS CONFIRMED THAT THE VEHICLE WAS NOT PART OF THE RECALL AND DID NOT OFFER ANY FURTHER ASSISTANCE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 85,963.

WHY THE VEHICLE IS IN MOTION THE VEHICLE TENTS TO SPUTTER AND DECELERATE LOSING ALL POWER THE VEHICLE THEN COMES TO COMPLETE STOP IN THE MOVIE LINE OF TRAFFIC YOU HAVE TO TURN THE VEHICLE OFF AND THEN TURN THE VEHICLE BACK ON TO ACTUALLY GET SPEED TO MOVE OUT OF THE WAY THIS HAS BECOME A VERY SERIOUS SAFETY ISSUE IN THE OPERATOR OF THE VEHICLE. THIS MOSTLY HAPPENS WHEN THE VEHICLE IS IN MOTION WHILE TRAVELING AT SPEEDS BETWEEN 50 TO 65 MILES PER HOUR THE VEHICLES COME TO ALMOST A COMPLETE STOP IN THE MOVIE LINE OF TRAFFIC

MY CAR HAS 86,621 MILES AND THE THERMOSTAT LIGHT CAME ON. I TOOK TO MY MECHANIC AND THEY TOLD ME THAT THERE IS LEAKING AROUND THE WATER PUMP AND IT HAS TO BE REPLACED. I HAD IT DIAGNOSED AT A FORD DEALERSHIP AND THEY AGREED. IT IS NOT UNDER WARRANTY BECAUSE OF MILES AND IT IS GOING TO COST $1900 TO REPLACE. I TAKE VERY GOOD CARE OF MY CAR AND HAVE ALL OF THE SERVICE RECORDS. IT IS A DEFECT IN THE WATER PUMP AND THAT IS WHY IT FAILED.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2013 FORD TAURUS. WHILE DRIVING VARIOUS SPEEDS, THE MAINTENANCE WARNING INDICATOR ILLUMINATED INTERMITTENTLY. IN ADDITION, THE VEHICLE SHOOK VIOLENTLY AND THE RPMS DECELERATED INDEPENDENTLY. THE CONTACT HAD TO PLACE THE VEHICLE IN PARK AND SOMETIMES RESTART THE VEHICLE IN ORDER FOR IT TO OPERATE; HOWEVER, THE FAILURE RECURRED MINUTES LATER. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO LAUREL FORD LINCOLN (2018 MS-15, LAUREL, MS 39440 (601) 649-4511) WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE THROTTLE ACTUATOR CONTROL MODULE NEEDED TO BE REPAIRED. THE DEALER STATED THAT THEY COULD NOT REPAIR THE VEHICLE. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 139,679.

WHEN VEHICLE IS STATIONARY IE STOP FOR A LIGHT OR A STOP SIGN THE R.P.M ON OCCASIONS DROPS FROM 600 TO LESS THAN 500 RPM AND IT START TO SHAKE, IF IF I AM NOT AWARE IT WILL STALL. WHAT WORRIES ME IS THAT ON A TRIP OF LESS THAN 5 MILES IT STALLED ON RED LIGHTS AND STOP SIGNS THE SAME HAS HAPPEN TO FAMILY MEMBERS. I HAVE TAKEN TO THE DEALER AND NOTHING IS FOUND ( ALSO TOOK IT TO A PRIVATE MECHANIC THE SAME RESULT WAS GIVEN) . SAME YEAR TAURUS HAVE BEEN HAVING FUEL PUMP PROBLEMS BUT MY VIN IS NOT REGISTER, LOT OF FRUSTRATIONS. THIS OCCUR MOSTLY IN CITY DRIVING ANT THE MOMENT NOT ON OPEN ROADS,HIGHWAYS.

ENGINE STALLS FOR NO REASON WHILE DRIVING ON HIGHWAY
