I received a recall letter in October 2025. The letter states Ford Motor Company do nit have the parts available and will notify me when they do have a remedy so I can make an appointment. The problem is I still haven’t received a notification letter about a remedy found. It’s been almost a year.

This vehicle has had a recall on the backup camera for nearly a year & no information from Ford on a solution or repair. The camera issue is very frustrating & intermittent failing during use.

This is in regards to Recall 25SA9. Ford has had ample time to come up with a solution, and it has been almost nine months since the recall was announced. The backup camera on my 2015 Ford Police Interceptor Sedan gets very grainy at night when backing into my driveway, causing an extremely dangerous situation when backing into my driveway, as it is very hard to see the image of the driveway with the grainy video from the backup camera.

The fuel gauge in my 2015 Taurus/Interceptor is showing inaccurate fuel levels; it will show there is less fuel in the tank than there actually is, causing me to think I am possibly going to run out of fuel. Example: I will fill the fuel tank when the gauge reads 3/4, which should be around 5 gallons of fuel used. The amount of fuel being put in the tank is significantly less than what the fuel gauge shows.

Rear view camera or back up camera works very intermittently. Sometimes it comes on, then goes off. Doesn't come on other times. Next time you use it, it may come on. Then it may work for a week without issues. Obviously no picture allows potential for accidents. I have not taken it to the dealer as my son hasn't been able to afford the repair of replacing the camera which would be what they say. He has learned to not depend on it, until he can pay for new camera. When camera doesn't come up, there is a message about having dealer service it. I saw as I started this complaint, that it looks like there is a recall for this. Decided to continue just to report the issue itself

Backup camera of 2015 Ford Taurus. The screen will be blank or the picture may be upside down or it says report to the dealership immediately. Does not happen every time but most times. I backed into a UPS van because the camera did not work

When putting my car in Reverse the back-up camera does not work properly. It either shows up and jumps screens to where you can't see anything behind you or make out what you're looking at. or the screen just goes black. It has not been looked at by anyone. There are no Warning lamps, signals or any other warning. The camera has been going in and out not working for over 6 months. I am worried that when backing up I might hit something or not see everything in view.

UNKNOWN OR OTHER
The Rear View Camera has not been working properly for 5-6 years. Sometimes it works to display what is behind he car and at other times there is a blank black screen displaying a message that it's not working. The vehicle is out of warranty, and my local auto mechanic informed me that the cost to investigate and repair it would be very expensive, and recommended against fixing it. It does pose a safety problem, but we have become diligent in looking carefully in the rear view mirror and directly by turning around to ensure that there is nothing behind the car. Also, the warning "beeps" still works when in reverse. I noted that Ford has had many previous recalls regarding the back-up cameras, and wonder how my car has not been included. Please check if there are any recalls that my vehicle would qualify for. Thank you.

Emailed previously on 5/27/24 but did not receive a response. This has not occurred to me again, because I am aware and take precautions to avoid the hazard. I hope Ford has has taken corrective action, either on their own or as result of my previous complaint. ***** My 2015 Ford Taurus, [XXX] , has a potential hazard, due to the fact that the "Engine Start/Stop" Button, is not protected from accidentally being activated, when the car is motion, causing it to turn off the engine, while in transit. I recommend the "Engine On/Off" switch have a hinged, spring-loaded cover over the switch, to prevent it from being inadvertently or accidentally activated, when the car is in motion. I have had two instances, where this has happened to me. In order to restart my car, I have had to coast to the shoulder, to come to a complete stop, so I can shift to "Park," so I can restart my car. Luckily, in both instances, I was in a lane nearest the shoulder, else in a middle lane, it could have been disastrous for me, my family and others that might have struck my car! Thank for the opportunity to convey my heart-stopping situations, and my suggestion for a potential remedy. Respectfully, [XXX] [XXX] [XXX] INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6)

Me and numerous other taurus owners (2013-2019) are experiencing catalytic converter issues with the catalytic converter(s). The sensors are throwing code P0420 and/or P430. This tells us emissions aren't up to emissions standards.

My water pump went out with 0 warning. Not even a low coolant light came on. I checked the coolant noticed it was a little low, went to work and on my way home from work my car overheated; again with no low coolant light or warning. I was smart enough to crank the heat in order to keep engine cool and by the time I got home, my car was chuckling. I was worried I may have cracked the head. I had to have the car towed ($150) and the water pump repair was ($2300). In all my years of automotive, I've never heard of a water pump repair cost this much. Googling the part is roughly $380 but because its chain driven its an 11 hr repair. I have copies of the invoice and towing but not with me at the moment.

The contact owns a 2015 Ford Taurus. The contact stated that while driving in the rain at various speeds, the vehicle would stall as the "check manual" and wrench warning light would illuminate on the instrument panel. The contact had taken the vehicle to the dealer on two separate occasions and each time the dealer was unable to duplicate the failure. The manufacturer was notified of the failure and provided a case number. The contact was then referred to the NHTSA for assistance. The vehicle had yet to be repaired and remained in the possession of the dealer. The failure mileage was approximately 42,000.

I was not notified from Ford about the serious safety recall on my 2015 Ford Taurus. I'd like to have this safety concern fixed immediately so I don't end up in a severe auto accident. I can drop my vehicle off. I've never had this happen and I'm nervous to drive the vehicle. I have noticed a difference in the way it drives please help get this sorted out with my local Ford Dealership in Fort Myers, FL. Thank you!

I BEGAN HAVING ISSUES WITH MY 2016 FORD TAURUS SEL WHERE MY BACK LEFT DOOR WOULD NOT OPEN. THE ELECTRONIC SYSTEM IN THE CAR WAS NOT DISTRIBUTING ANY POWER TO THE BACK DOOR TO ALLOW IT TO OPEN. THE LOCKING KNOB WOULD NOT RISE OR LOWER USING THE LOCKING SYSTEM INSIDE THE CAR OR THE KEY FOB. SHORTLY THERE AFTER, THE OTHER REAR PASSENGER DOOR ON THE RIGHT SIDE BEGAN HAVING THE SAME ISSUE. CURRENTLY BOTH OF MY REAR DOORS CANNOT BE OPENED ELECTRONICALLY. I PHYSICALLY HAVE TO LEAN IN THE BACK OF THE VEHICLE AND RAISE THE LOCKING KNOB TO OPEN THE DOOR. PULLING THE DOOR HANDLE FROM INSIDE THE CAR WILL NOT OPEN THE DOOR. IT HAS NO RESISTANCE TO THE HANDLE WHATSOEVER. THE ONLY WAY TO OPEN THE LOCKED DOOR IS TO PHYSICALLY PULL UP THE LOCKING NOB NEAR THE WINDOW. THIS HAS CREATED DIFFICULTY IN ME TRANSPORTING ANY PASSENGERS AND IS EXTREMELY INCONVENIENT TO PLACE ANYTHING IN THE BACK SEAT. THE INABILITY TO LOCK THE BLACK DOORS WITH THE KEY FOB OR ELECTRONIC SYSTEM IN THE CAR HAS RESULTED IN THE DOOR BEING LEFT UNLOCKED IF NOT THE LOCKING KNOB IS NOT PHYSICALLY PUSHED DOWN EVERY TIME. I TOOK MY VEHICLE TO A LOCAL MECHANIC WHO INFORMED ME THAT I WOULD NEED A NEW DOOR LOCK ACTUATOR ON BOTH REAR DOORS BUT THAT IT HAD TO BE DONE AT A FORD DEALERSHIP. I CALLED FORD AND THEY INFORMED ME THAT THE DOORS WOULD NEED TO BE REPROGRAMMED AFTER INSTALLING THE DOOR LOCK ACTUATORS TO ENSURE THE DOORS ARE PROPERLY SYNCED TO THE ELECTRONICA SYSTEM OF THE CAR. THE COST OF THIS IS OVER OVER $500 PER DOOR AND I HAVE NO OTHER OPTIONS TO FIX THIS PROBLEM. I HAVE HAD PRIOR ISSUES WITH MY 2010 FORD TAURUS WHERE THE BACK DOOR WOULD NOT OPEN AND HAD TO PAY ABOUT $500 FOR A REAR DOOR ACTUATOR TO BE INSTALLED AND SYNCED. THE USABILITY OF THE DOORS DOES NOT CHANGE WHEN THE CAR IS OFF, ON, PARKED, OR IN MOTION. MY PASSENGERS COULD POTENTIALLY BE AT RISK AND THE COST OF REPAIR MAKES THIS ISSUE CONTINUING.

CAR STALLS WITHOUT WARNING WHILE DRIVING. HAS HAPPENED TWICE SINCE I BOUGHT THE CAR THIS SPRING. ONCE I WAS COMPLETING A TURN FROM A STOP THE OTHER TIME I WAS DOING A CONSISTENT SPEED OF ABOUT 40MPH. NO WARNING LIGHTS BEFORE OR AFTER, JUST A NOTIFICATION THE 'TRANSMISSION NOT IN PARK' ONCE THE CAR WASN'T RUNNING. EACH TIME THE DEALER PUT IT ON THE COMPUTER AND SAID THERE IS NO ISSUE FOUND. THERE IS A RECALL FOR 2013-1015 TAURUS HOWEVER MY VIN ISN'T INCLUDED IN THE FUEL PUMP ELECTRIC MODULE REPLACEMENT THOUGH STALLING IS AN ISSUE CITED IN THAT RECALL. DEALER SAYS THERE IS NO PROBLEM WITH THE FUEL PUMP ELECTRIC MODULE BECAUSE THE COMPUTER SAYS SO. I LEFT MY CAR AT THE DEALERSHIP FOR ABOUT 3 WEEKS THINKING IT MIGHT BE AN ELECTRICAL PROBLEM SINCE THE GPS INTERMITTENTLY DOESN'T WORK THE PANIC ALARM GOES OFF MULTIPLE TIMES A WEEK FOR NO REASON. DEALER SUGGESTS REPLACING THE SD CARD. I AM AFRAID TO DRIVE MY CAR, ESPECIALLY WITH THE DEATHS RECENTLY FROM CARS STALLING. I WILL MOST LIKELY PAY OUT OF POCKET TO CHANGE THE FUEL PUMP ELECTRIC MODULE AS I CAN'T AVOID THE HIGHWAY FOREVER. I WILL BE HAPPY TO SEND YOU THE PART ONCE IT IS REPLACED IF IT WILL HELP INVESTIGATE THE PROBLEM. HOPEFULLY THAT WILL SOLVE THE PROBLEM, OTHERWISE I AM NOT SURE WHAT TO DO. HELP PLEASE! I DON'T HAVE POLICE REPORTS OR ACCIDENT PHOTOS THANKFULLY.
