What owners said

2015 Ford Taurus Conroe, TX

UNKNOWN OR OTHER

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.

NHTSA complaint #11756879 — an unverified report by a vehicle owner.

2016 Ford Taurus Jordan, MN

UNKNOWN OR OTHER

I own a 2016 Ford Taurus Limited that is covered under Ford Safety Recall 25SA9 / NHTSA Recall 25V-695 for the rearview camera. I received the recall notification in October 2025 stating that a remedy was not yet available and that I would receive another notification once parts became available. Nearly 10 months later, I contacted my local Ford dealership to schedule the recall repair. I was informed that they still do not have the required parts and that no nearby Ford dealerships have them available. I also contacted Ford’s customer service line, but the automated system simply states there are no updates available for this recall. My vehicle is experiencing the exact safety defect described in the recall. When I shift into reverse, the rearview camera no longer displays an image. Instead, the screen turns completely blue, leaving me without a functioning backup camera. This is no longer a potential safety concern—it is an active failure that affects the safe operation of my vehicle when backing up. I am extremely concerned that a federally recognized safety recall remains unrepaired even though my vehicle is now exhibiting the recalled defect. Despite my efforts to have the vehicle repaired, Ford has been unable to provide the necessary parts or any estimated timeline for when the repair will be available. I respectfully request that NHTSA review Ford’s continued inability to provide a remedy for Recall 25SA9 / NHTSA 25V-695 and investigate the prolonged delay in making repair parts available to owners whose vehicles are already experiencing this safety-related failure. Thank you for your attention to this matter.

2015 Ford Taurus White Oak, PA

UNKNOWN OR OTHER

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.

2015 Ford Taurus White Oak, PA

UNKNOWN OR OTHER

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.

2013 Ford Taurus Poplar Bluff, MO

UNKNOWN OR OTHER

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.

NHTSA complaint #11717175 — an unverified report by a vehicle owner.

2016 Ford Taurus Chesterfield, MI

UNKNOWN OR OTHER

I am writing to report an unresolved safety recall for my vehicle. I received Safety Recall Notice 25V695 in October 2025, and as of today, the recall has not been resolved because the required repair parts remain unavailable. This recall involves a safety-related defect, and the extended delay in providing a remedy raises serious safety concerns. I have contacted authorized dealerships, and I have been informed that parts are still on backorder with no estimated availability date. Given the amount of time that has passed since the recall notice was issued, I do not believe this recall has been addressed within a reasonable timeframe. The ongoing lack of an available repair increases the risk associated with operating the vehicle under normal conditions. I am requesting that this issue be reviewed to ensure the manufacturer complies with its obligation to provide a timely and effective remedy for this safety recall. Thank you for your attention to this matter.

2016 Ford Taurus Pawtucket, RI

NHTSA complaint #11710163 — an unverified report by a vehicle owner.

2016 Ford Taurus Chesterfield, MI

UNKNOWN OR OTHER

I received a safety recall notice in October 2025 for my 2016 Ford Taurus SHO regarding a defect involving the rear backup camera system. As of today, there are still no parts available to correct this issue. I have contacted the manufacturer and authorized dealers multiple times and have been informed that there is currently no estimated timeline for when the required parts will be available. The rear backup camera is a critical safety feature intended to prevent collisions with pedestrians, objects, and other vehicles while reversing. Since receiving the recall notice, I have experienced multiple close calls while backing up, which I believe are directly related to this unresolved defect. This creates an ongoing safety concern for myself, pedestrians, and other drivers. Despite being notified of a safety-related defect, I have been left without a remedy for several months and must continue operating the vehicle out of necessity. I believe this delay is unreasonable and defeats the purpose of a safety recall.

NHTSA complaint #11707123 — an unverified report by a vehicle owner.

2014 Ford Taurus Belton, TX

UNKNOWN OR OTHER

The backup camera will sometimes produce a grainy image or prompt a warning the camera isn't working. This issue has been noticed for other vehicles and issued a recall for the Ford Taurus but doesn't cover my vehicles year, 2014. The 2015 recall affects 2015 and later tauruses, 25V695000.
