#2013 ford taurus fuel pump problems software
The local Ford dealership "updated" the software before checking for the default code that would show. I had the car towed to the local dealership. Very scary, since I had no idea what was happening. The engine sputtered made a weird nose, lost power totally, I was barely able to get into a parking lot out of the way. My first experience with this problem was driving 40 mph on a local street, very busy, lots of traffic. And that time I was a sitting duck between lanes of traffic with my emergencies on because I wasnt able to shut the car off right away due to my lane placement on the expressway. I finally was able to pull into the yellow lines where cars are not supposed to be that are between the lanes where you merge from one expressway to another. One of those times I was not by a shoulder at all and there was very heavy traffic flow. It has done this twice on the expressway where it reduced my speed from 65 to 40 mph and continued to decrease in speed. I have had to pull over into parking lanes and gas stations in order to get out of traffic flow to safely shut my engine off and restart the car. I have to shut the engine off and restart the car. It happens frequently on city streets where I would be going 30 miles per hour and it reduces my speed to like ten miles per hour and wont let me accelerate. This issue has my life and my children's lives on the line every time we get in this car. I have to now pay 300 to buy a new piece to resolve this problem when in fact this vehicle should have been recalled like the Ford escape and the Ford Fusion because it is the exact same issue. It does it out of nowhere and is putting me in the position to get rear-ended. One time the car slowed down and would not let me go above twenty miles per hour and I was on the expressway with a speed limit of 65 miles per hour. My car will still move when this happens but only at really low speeds. This causes my car to stall in unpredictable and unsafe scenarios. The electronic throttle body reads that the actuator is stuck open. It is apparent that this throttle body issue does exist on other models besides the models listed for the repairs. I respectively request that your Agency immediately force Ford to fix this problem before someone gets seriously gets injured. They then told me that your Agency is responsible for issuing a product recall and until your Agency does so we will need to incur the $400 to 600 dollar repair costs. The Ford customer service people told me that the throttle body issues they are having does not cover my vehicle. So I called Ford after reading about all the failures that other customers have had with various models of Ford. I was told by the service company that Ford has a problem involving the throttle body valves. The service tech said the car had a defective throttle body valve failure code. I took the car to a local repair shop to have the car scanned. Wrench symbol appeared, engine warning light came on and the car would barely move through the intersection. This post has been updated with information provided by Ford.Car lost all power in middle of intersection. Thankfully, Ford says no wrecks or injuries have been reported yet. It also doesn't apply to the Explorer-based Police Interceptor SUVs, which Ford says actually make up about 75 percent of its Interceptor sales. But the recall only applies to cars equipped with the company's 3.5-liter EcoBoost V6. The 2013-2015 Ford Taurus, Ford Flex, Lincoln MKS, and Lincoln MKT are also included. Interceptors aren't the only cars affected by the fuel pump issue, either. That's definitely inconvenient if it happens while parked, but on the road, it could be incredibly dangerous. And if that happens, you can't turn the car back on. The automaker says the fuel pump control modules can fail, causing the cars to stall unexpectedly. But Ford issued a recall today to fix that.ĬBS Detroit reports that more than 88,000 cars and SUVs are affected, including every Ford Police Interceptor sedan built at the Chicago plant between 20. They reportedly like to shut off randomly, and if they do, there's no way to restart them. It appears that Ford Police Interceptor sedans have a problem.
