UPON HARD ACCELERATION, CABIN IS FILLED WITH STRONG ROTTEN EGG SMELL / EXHAUST. AC IS IN THE AUTO MODE AND RECIRCULATION IS NOT ENGAGED. MUST ROLL ALL WINDOWS DOWN IN ORDER TO CLEAR THE CABIN OF FUMES. VERY SIMILAR TO SAME ISSUE DESCRIBED WITH FORD EXPLORER. INCIDENCE FIRST OCCURRED MAY 13, 2016 (DATE OF DELIVERY) AND HAS HAPPENED CONSISTENTLY UPON HARD ACCELERATION. CURRENTLY, VEHICLE HAS APPROXIMATELY 10000 MILES AND CONTINUING TO HAVE ISSUE. VEHICLE IS AT DEALERSHIP CURRENTLY.

THE POWER STEERING ON THIS VEHICLE LOCKED UP MAKING IT VERY DIFFICULT TO IMPOSSIBLE TO STEER THE VEHICLE. THIS INCIDENT OCCURRED AT LOW SPEEDS BUT IF IT HAD HAPPENED AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS THEIR WOULD HAVE BEEN NO WAY TO STEER THE VEHICLE SAFELY TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD.

9/27/2018

THE POWER STEERING ON THIS UNIT FAILED MAKING IT IMPOSSIBLE TO STEER THE VEHICLE. I WAS ADVISED THAT THIS ISSUED OCCURRED AT LOW SPEEDS AND AS A RESULT NO ACCIDENT WAS REPORTED. THE VEHICLE HAD TO BE TOWED TO THE DEALERSHIP FOR REPAIRS. DO NOT HAVE THE INVOICE FOR THIS REPAIR AT THE TIME OF SENDING THIS COMPLAINT. IF YOU NEED IT I WILL GET IT FOR YOU.

THIS NEW 2016 TAURUS SHO HAS A STRONG FUEL, OIL OR CARBON MONOXIDE FUMES ENTERING THE CABIN WHILE DRIVING. THIS OCCURS WITH OR WITHOUT THE AC RUNNING. THE FUMES ARE SO STRONG THAT I MUST DRIVE WITH THE WINDOWS DOWN. OF COURSE, WHEN IT IS RAINING, I MUST BREATHE IN THE FUMES BECAUSE THE WINDOWS ARE ROLLED UP. SO FAR, IT IS CAUSING IRRITATION TO THE EYES AND THROAT. I TOOK IT TO THE SERVICE DEPARTMENT OF THE DEALER WHERE I PURCHASED THE CAR BUT THEY SAID THEY "COULD NOT DUPLICATE" THE FUEL SMELL AND THAT IT IS PROBABLY JUST NEW CAR OR PLASTIC SMELL. I ASKED THEM TO CHECK THE FUEL DELIVERY MODULE BUT THEY DID NOT DO SO. THIS IS A DRIVEABILITY ISSUE WHICH SHOULD NOT EXIST IN A NEW CAR. EMISSIONS INTO THE CABIN SHOULD HAVE BEEN CHECKED PRIOR TO DELIVERY AND SALE GIVEN THE PRIOR FORD RECALLS AND TECHNICAL SERVICE BULLETINS RELATED TO THIS PROBLEM ON THIS MODEL.

9/9/2016

I TOOK MY CAR INTO THE SERVICE DEPARTMENT DUE TO A STRONG SMELL OF PROPANE/NATURAL GAS. THE SERVICE WRITER INFORMED ME THAT THE SMELL WAS REALLY BAD BUT THAT IT SHOULD BE SAFE TO DRIVE AND THAT SHE COULDN'T GET ME IN UNTIL TUESDAY. I BUCKLED MY 2 YEAR OLD IN THE CAR SEAT AND LEFT THE DEALERSHIP/SERVICE DEPARTMENT. THE SERVICE WRITE STATED THAT THERE WAS A TSB OUT ON THE CAR AND IT COULD BE A POSSIBLE LEAK IN THE PTU. BUT SHOULD BE THAT BIG OF DEAL. WE STARTED TO TRAVEL HOME THE CAR STALLED, ON A HIGHWAY TRAVELING AT ABOUT 60 MILES PER HOUR, AND THERE WAS A LOUD POP, I WAS ON THE PHONE WITH MY SISTER WHO WAS TRAVELING BEHIND US WHO TOLD ME THAT MY CAR WAS ON FIRE AND TO PULL OVER. I STOPPED THE CAR, WHEN I WAS STOPPED THE INTERIOR OF THE CAR FILLED WITH SMOKE I RUSHED TO GET MY CHILD OUT OF THE CAR AND MOVED AWAY FROM THE CAR. I DIDN'T SEE ANY FLAMES JUST A LOT OF SMOKE. I FEEL WE WERE LUCKY BECAUSE MY SISTER WAS ABLE TO INFORM ME IMMEDIATELY THAT THERE WAS SMOKE. I FEEL THAT IF I WOULD HAVE DRIVEN THE CAR MUCH FURTHER THE OUTCOME COULD HAVE BEEN MUCH DIFFERENT.

I TOOK MY CAR TO DEAN SELLERS FORD WITH A PREMATURE RIGHT REAR BEARING FAILURE THAT WAS COVERED BY THE WARRANTY ON MY 2016 TAURUS SHO. WHILE AT THE DEALER, I WAS INFORMED THAT THE TOE REAR TOE LINK REQUIRED REPLACEMENT. ON JUNE 12, 2019, FORD MEDIA CENTER ISSUED ISSUE A MEMO "FORD MOTOR COMPANY ISSUES FOUR SAFETY RECALLS" WHICH INDICATED THAT THE "AFFECTED VEHICLES INCLUDE 2010-2017 FORD TAURUS VEHICLES BUILT AT THE CHICAGO ASSEMBLY PLANT, JULY 2, 2009-MAY 25, 2017." THIS INCLUDED MY 2016 TAURUS SHO, BUT THE DEALER HAD NO KNOWLEDGE OF THE RECALL AND HAS NOW CHARGED ME FOR THE REPLACEMENT OF THE RECALL ITEM. ALSO, I'M CONCERNED THAT THE REPLACEMENT TOE LINK WAS NOT THE HARDENED REPLACEMENT PART AND WAS THE ORIGINAL OEM PART THAT IS PRONE TO FAILURE. THE FAILURE OF THIS PART CAN BE CATASTROPHIC AND CAUSE LOSS OF CONTROL OF THE VEHICLE.

2016 Ford Taruas SEL Both Rear Toe Links went bad at around 64,000 miles The car is incontrollable on bumpy roads, which causes the car to veer very hard into the next lane or off the road. making the car very dangerous Same issue with the SHO model of the same year, the issue had been reported and recalled for the exact same issue my model is experiencing

AIR BAG LIGHT ON. FAIL INSPECTION RCM BOOD5 & B1202

10/23/2020

I turned left after stopping at a four-way stop sign intersection. I crashed into a parked car waiting its turn but I did not see until I was upon it and it was too late to swerve away. My car's air bags inflated. My wrist was broken. My car was declared totaled by my insurer although I could not have been speeding since I had just stopped at the four-way stop sign, waited my turn, and turned my car left onto a street that runs slightly downhill. I am still trying to comprehend how my wrist on my right hand was broken since both of my hands were on the steering wheel at the point of impact but a trip to the emergency room proved my suddenly limp and suddenly pain-filled arm meant I had broken my wrist. It is not the first time I have been in my 2016 Ford Taurus and not noticed a car until it was close upon me-- typically though a car(s) has approached me from my rear right and I noticed it in a split second and avoided an accident; but this is my first collision accident in decades. I need to point that fact out. I don't know if the car has a blind spot. I don't know if the air bag broke my wrist. I don't know why my wrist was broken because both of my hands were on the steering wheel during my collision on May 9, 2022. There were not any warning messages that I recall seeing or hearing. My insurer acquired right of attorney over my vehicle and towed it away. To my knowledge, no one has inspected the car but I suspect there are actually several blind spots in the 2016 Ford Taurus. I owned a 1998 Ford Taurus before I bought my 2016 Ford Taurus but never had a collision in my 1998 Ford Taurus or any of the problems I've just described.

The rear back up camera has stopped working properly and most of the time it's not working at all making it a safety risk maneuvering in reverse when children or other pedestrians are around.

1/26/2022

I was backing up in a parking lot when the backup camera suddenly inverted and I nearly ran over a small child. It now only works about 40% of the time and usually the image is inverted or scrambled. This is dangerous. I think Ford should fix it since apparently they have approved a recall on other models that apparently have the same camera system as my car.

I DON'T EVEN KNOW WHERE TO BEGIN. EVERY PROBLEM YOU COULD IMAGINE WITH THIS CAR ONLY AY 69K MILES AFTER FORDS PATHETIC POWERTRIAN WARRANTY EXPIRES. I BOUGHT THIS CAR AT 66K MILES SPENT 20 GRAND AFTER TAX AND ONLY MADE ONE PAYMENT BESIDES THE DOWN PAYMENT. FIRST OFF THE PTU FAILED ON THIS VEHICLE FAILED AFTER 2K MILES WITCH IS A REALLY COMMON PROBLEM ON THIS VEHICLE WITCH WAS A $900 PART THOUGH FORD. HAD THIS REPLACED AND NOT ONLY 7 DAYS LATER AND BARELY 1K MILES THE TRANSMISSION FAILED CAUSING THE MOTOR TO OVERHEAT DAMAGING THE MOTOR.. NOW I HAVE A $400+ PAYMENT ON A VEHICLE THAT NEEDS OVER $9000 IN REPAIRS BETWEEN THE MOTOR AND TRANSMISSION AND THE DEALER WONT FIX IT BECAUSE I DIDNT BUY AND EXTENDED WARRANTY AND ITS OUT OF THE FACTORY 60K WARRANTY. NOTE THIS IS A 2016 (PERFORMANCE SEDAN) (SHO) AND THIS HAS BEEN THE MOST UNRELIABLE CAR I HAVE EVER BOUGHT. I WOULD LIKE TO NOTE I ALWAYS BUY FORD AND HAVE HAD ISSUES HERE AND THERE BUT NOTHING LIKE THIS BETWEEN BREAK DOWNS I DIDN'T EVEN GET TO DRIVE THE CAR 30 DAYS AND NOW OWN 6 YEARS WORTH OF PAYMENTS... THKS CAR HAS LITERALLY BROKE ME AND FORD WON'T DO ANYTHING TO MAKE IT RIGHT THERE WAS CLEARLY SOME SORT OF MANUFACTURE DEFECT WITH THIS CAR AND IT SHOULD BE RECALLED I WOULD NEVER RECOMMEND BUY THIS CAR WITHOUT A SERIOUS WARRANTY BECAUSE I KNOW SOME PEOPLE THAT HAVE HAD BETTER LUCK WITH THIS CAR IN EARLIER MODELS WITH THE SAME DRIVETRAIN BUT MINE CAN'T BE THE ONLY 16 SHO THAT HAVE HAD THESE PROBLEMS AND IM SURE OTHER PEOPLE HAVE BEEN LEFT IN HARDSHIP ON NOW NOT HAVING A CAR AND HAVE 20K IN AUTO LOAN DEBT. ALL THIS HAPPENED UNDER NORMAL DRIVING CONDITIONS. THIS CAR WAS BUILT TO BE ABLE TO USE ON THE TRACK AND COMPLETELY FAILED UNDER NORMAL DRIVING CONDITIONS. VERY VERY DISAPPOINTED AND HOPE FORD WILL RECALL THIS MAJOR ISSUE IN THERE "PERFORMANCE VEHICLES"

THE BACK PASSENGER SIDE DOOR KEEPS SLIPPING OUT OF PLACE. THE DOOR HAS DIFFICULTIES OPENING AS IT CATCHES AGAINST THE FRONT PASSENGER SIDE DOOR AND MAKES A SNAPPING SOUND. THE DOOR HAS ALREADY BEEN FIXED TWICE BY THE DEALERSHIP BUT WE WERE INFORMED THAT THIS IS A KNOW PROBLEM WITH THE NEWER VEHICLES AND THEY DIDN'T THINK THIS WOULD BE RESOLVED. MAY LAW ENFORCEMENT VEHICLES HAVE BEEN AT THE SAME DEALERSHIP AND THE LADY WHO WORKS AT FORD SAID THEY HAVE HAD TO FIX A LOT OF VEHICLES WITH THE SAME PROBLEM. THE DEALERSHIP WILL NOT COVER THE COST OF FIXING THE DOOR GOING FORWARD AS WE HAVE HAD THE CAR MORE THAN A YEAR. I CALLED FORD TO REPORT THE ISSUE AND MY CONCERN OVER THE ABILITY TO GET MY SON OUT OF THE BACK SEAT IN A CASE OF EMERGENCY. I ASKED THEM TO NOTE A RECALL AND ALL I GOT BACK WAS AN EMAIL STATING THEY WILL NOT COVER THE COST OF THE FIX. THEY NEVER ADDRESSED MY CONCERN ABOUT SAFETY AND THE ABILITY OF THE DOOR TO FUNCTION. THE DOOR HAS NOT EXPERIENCED ANY STRESS AND ONLY NORMAL OPEN AND SHUT. THERE HAS BEEN NO ACCIDENTS BUT THE DOOR KEEPS SLIPPING OUT OF ALIGNMENT. THE VEHICLE WENT INTO THE DEALERSHIP TO BE CORRECTED MARCH 21 AND APRIL 11TH.

THE HEADLIGHTS ARE DESIGNED SUCH THAT YOU CANNOT SEE CORNERS WHEN MAKING TURNS. I BELIEVE THIS IS INCREDIBLY DANGEROUS. WHEN DRIVING ON DARK ROADS, YOU TRULY CANNOT SEE WHAT YOU ARE TURNING INTO UNTIL YOU MAKE THE TURN. THIS WAS DISCUSSED WITH THE DEALER AND IT APPEARS THE DEALER AND FORD ARE AWARE OF THE ISSUE AND HAVE REDESIGN HEADLIGHTS FOR SOME OF THE VEHICLES THAT HAVE THIS ISSUE. HOWEVER, IT IS MY UNDERSTANDING THAT THEY HAVE NO INTENTIONS OF CORRECT THIS ON CARS ALREADY ON THE ROAD. *TR
