Owners have filed 755 complaints
about the 2013 Ford Taurus with NHTSA between 2012 and 2026.
The largest single group is the steering.
Across this model's run it ranks 20 of 27 worst.
The letter says how bad. This says what kind — whether this year drew
an unusual number of complaints, unusually dangerous
ones, or failures that arrived unusually early.
The dashed ring is 50 — the national norm. Further out is worse.
Complaint volume — 52
Against the median year of the Ford Taurus. 50 means typical for this
model; 100 means roughly double.
Severity — 40
7.7% of these complaints
involved a crash, fire, injury or death, against a national rate of
9.7%.
Early failure — 21
12% of failures with a mileage on record happened under
36,000 miles, against a national rate of
29%.
NHTSA files every complaint against a named sub-assembly, not just a
system. This is the difference between knowing it was "the engine" and
knowing which part of it — the list to hand a mechanic.

When owners complained
A spike years after the car went on sale usually means a part wearing
out on schedule across the whole fleet — the kind of pattern no single
owner can see from inside their own car.

Recalls on the 2013 Ford Taurus
A complaint is one owner's allegation. A recall is the point at which
the manufacturer or a regulator agreed the defect is real and dangerous
enough to fix for free — however old the car is.
United States — NHTSA
20V072000
SUSPENSION:REAR
Ford Motor Company (Ford) is recalling certain 2013-2018 Lincoln MKT and Ford Flex and Taurus vehicles with the Police Interceptor or SHO Performance Pack. The rear suspension toe links may fracture due to stress on the rear suspension.

always mirror the American ones.
Recall 202005115,281 units in Canada
Suspension
Issue: On certain vehicles, the rear suspension toe link(s) could break. This could cause a sudden loss of vehicle stability. Note: Vehicles previously repaired under Ford Campaign 19R01 or 19S18 do not require repair under this recall. For the Taurus model, only the SHO Performance Package model is included in this recall. Safety Risk: A loss of vehicle stability could cause a loss of control and increase the risk of a crash. Corrective Actions: The company will notify owners by mail and instruct you to take your vehicle to a Ford or Lincoln dealer to install improved rear suspension toe links.
Recall 201928112,211 units in Canada
Suspension
Issue: On certain vehicles, a buildup of dirt and mud could cause the rear suspension toe links to break. This could result in a sudden loss of vehicle stability. Note: This problem affects vehicles operated in Alberta, Saskatchewan and Manitoba. The unique soil properties in this region could make a toe link more likely to break. Safety Risk: A loss of stability could increase the risk of a crash. Corrective Actions: The company will notify owners by mail and instruct them to take their vehicle to a dealer to install improved rear suspension toe links.
Recall 20164117,249 units in Canada
Powertrain
On certain vehicles, the fuel pump electric module may be damaged due to high electrical current loads. This could cause the fuel pump to stop operating, which would result in the engine stalling or failing to start. A loss of motive power could increase the risk of a crash causing injury and/or damage to property. Correction: Dealers will inspect and, if required, replace the fuel pump electric module. Note: Failure of the fuel pump electric module would cause the malfunction indicator light to illuminate.
Recall 201522425,195 units in Canada
Steering
On certain vehicles, a fault in the Electric Power Steering (EPS) system could result in an immediate loss of power steering assist without warning to the driver. This would unexpectedly increase the steering effort force necessary to steer the vehicle at lower vehicle speeds, which could increase the risk of a crash causing injury and/or damage to property. Correction: Dealers will affect repairs as necessary and will reprogram the EPS controller with updated software. In the event that an EPS fault occurs, this updated software would allow for continued EPS function while displaying visual and audible warnings to the driver until the end of the drive cycle.
Recall 20150359,956 units in Canada
Structure
On certain vehicles, the return spring within the interior door handle assembly could become unseated, resulting in an interior handle that does not return to the fully stowed position after actuation. This could allow a door to unlatch during a side impact crash, which could increase the risk of injury to a seat occupant. Correction: Dealers will inspect, and repair or replace the interior handles as necessary.
Recall 20142808,173 units in Canada
Powertrain
On certain vehicles, the right-side halfshaft retention clip may not have been fully engaged, and could allow the halfshaft to separate. If this were to occur while the vehicle is being driven, it could result in a loss of motive power. If this were to occur while the vehicle is parked on an incline without the parking brake applied, it could result in unintended vehicle movement. Both situations could increase the risk of a crash causing injury and/or property damage. Correction: Dealers will inspect halfshafts for full retention and affect repairs as necessary.
Recall 201419613,200 units in Canada
Lights And Instruments
On certain vehicles registered and operated in areas where road salt is used on the roadways during winter months for extended time periods (Ontario, Quebec, New Brunswick, Nova Scotia, Prince Edward Island and Newfoundland-Labrador), corrosion may occur inside the license plate lamp assembly which could result in high electrical current draw, excessive heat or a fire. This could increase the risk of injury and/or damage to property. Correction: Dealers will replace the license plate lamp assembly.
Recall 2013219569 units in Canada
Other
On certain vehicles, the child safety lock actuation cam may have been manufactured incorrectly. As a result, the child lock may inadvertently disengage, which could allow the rear door to be opened using the inside door handle, possibly resulting in injury. Correction: Dealers will inspect the child safety lock and, if necessary, replace the door latch assembly. In the interim, drivers that have a need to use the child lock feature are advised to check the child lock to ensure it is in the ON position before each use.

STEERING
I experienced an unexplained and unexpected loss of power steering assist necessitating immediate (manual) steering effort, which resulted in a vehicle crash. I brought in the vehicle to a local independent service center (not Ford) for inspection and diagnosis and the mechanic reported a problem with the electric power assist system. I called Ford Customer Service and they reported "0" recalls on my vehicle. There are no warning lamps/messages that I am aware of. I would like a closer look (investigation) given that other exact year, make, and model Ford vehicles have experienced recalls on this specific component. Ford's number for a similar recall is "15S18".

Purchased vehicle on 10/06/2022. Within a week noticed surging and /or loss of power. I also smelled buring of some sort. Contacted the dealership and tried to make arrangements for car to be diagnosed and repaired. Codes began to show on the dash. When I took it to be read it showed throttle issues. On 10/18/2022 I was at a complete stop at a stop sign. When I released the brake and touched the gas the car unexpectedly sured at high speed on its own. My vehicle hit another vehicle causing major damage to both cars. It was extremely terrifying having my car take off at a high rate of speed without me in control. This now has caused tremendous hardship financially, Emotionally and I now have legal issues due to this accident that was no fault of my own.

BACK OVER PREVENTION: SENSING SYSTEM: CAMERA
The problem is I have a faulty backup camera that shows distorted images, the projection on the screen is upside down, and suddenly goes black, displays a warning message with black screen and a triangle caution symbol with exclamation mark. (However, it does not immediately show that warning message). With this back-up camera not properly working it poses a dangerous risk to others and myself. Luckily, I have not hit anyone yet such as a young child, or any individuals. If this were to happen it could cause serious harm and leave an individual with permeant injuries, or even life threating injuries, or death. Since the camera stopped working, I have come awful close to getting into accidents with other vehicles upon backing out of parking spots, backing into the streets, etc. Since then, I had to also replaced my passenger side mirror that I took off when suddenly the camera stopped working when I was backing out of my garage and the picture from camera immediately went black and I panic and took off my passenger side mirror by hitting the side of my garage door opening. The vehicle has been taken to the dealership, to where they repaired the passenger mirror, and I explained to them about the backup camera. The Ford dealership did their inspection and confirmed that the camera is indeed not working properly, and they advised that I needed a new Camera. However, I was told that the camera is on back order, and they have no idea when it will be available. The first time I noticed that the back-up camera was not working was early August 2022, exact date unknown. Up until this happening, things were fine and never had an issue.

The car wouldn't start or even turn over. The vehicle is available for inspection. My safety was put at risk as the car broke down in the middle of nowhere, on a curve and a hill, smack dab in the middle of the road, cellphone, internet service and 911 was spotty at best, it was around midnight. I finally got through to call my Mother's insurance company for a tow truck, waited 3 hours, tow truck did not show, so I called the number given to me. The man that answered, was highly intoxicated and slurring his words. I finally got through to 911 and they called my preference of towing company, that arrived in 1.5 hours. I had to wait nearly 6 hours for a tow truck to arrive, not 1 vehicle passed by the entire time. Thankfully I arrived at my destination a little after daylight, unharmed. Yes, there were a plethora of lights that came on, to include, tire pressure, starting system failure, engine coolant. We had the vehicle at Baldwin Ford in [XXX] and most recently at Bud Shell Fors in [XXX] . This all started after someone tried to starve my Father in law to death on or about March 2024.
