I lost all power to my steering wheel , and was unable to turn it so I could attempt to safely move back over to far right lane, as I was in downtown traffic. This is so scary and terrifying. It's my second car ever which I worked really hard for. I tried to turn car off, and restart it like Google said, but it was the same loss of steering.

He also remotely updated the audio system.  I spoke to the service Manager at the Poplar Bluff, MO Ford dealership and he said the audio system should not be updated.  When he updated the system, my Mother had to replace the battery on the car and now the audio lights on the radio stay on and the Bluetooth and wifi is constantly searching for a connection, which it did not do before TF messed with it.  TF done this to my personal Chevy Malibu as well, which led to its decommission, leaving me stranded on the side of [XXX], west of Ellsinore, MO, where there was no cellphone service and in the middle of a very bad thunderstorm.    TF was using said device to track me after working hours or when I was using my own personal sick/vacation time, which he and his cousin [XXX] used in my wrongful termination.  About 30 minutes before I got ready to leave for lunch or get ready to leave for the day, I would watch him go to the door to make tracking device active/wake up.  He was monitoring/redirecting mine and my Mother's phone calls and internet traffic as well.  This is illegal as well as an invasion of privacy, that ANY ADULT should not be a part of.

The car limped along until I could pull it over, but this could have been serious as I was on the highway doing 65mph just 2 minutes prior to it.  It stalled coming up the upramp here in Phoenix.  I got it into the parking lot, and gave it gas and nothing at all, the engine just sputtered as the wrench light was on.  I turned it off for 2 minutes, and restarted and able to get home 4  minutes away.  This is the 2nd time this has now happened, and this is a huge safety concern.  Ford Taurus had recalls on the Powertrain Control Module for other years of the Taurus, but I do not want to pay for this fix as this is a Ford safety issue for my model year 2013.  I could have caused an accident on the highway if this stalled like this.  Who do I contact to get this looked at.  I can almost guarantee it is the powertrain control module as I see it online recalled and exact same issues.  This car onl has 70k miles on it and in great condition, serviced all the time.

This issue is an ongoing danger to myself and drivers around me. The steering locks up an the wheel becomes very still and hard to turn. This issue has been determined by a local dealership. There have been no warning lamps to signal the issue which makes it more dangerous due to no warning prior to when the issue started. After doing some research, I have found that similar vehicles to mine have a recall.

After we got it home a \"power steering assist fail\" light came on. We took it to the local Ford dealer back then  and since the light comes on randomly, they could not get a report to show. I told them that there was a loss of power steering assist recall in June of 2015, but since my VIN was not one of the recalls they refused to do recall work. The power steering assist continues to give us trouble and when I called Ford customer service last week, they said since my VIN was not on the recall list, I would have to pay for the $1800.00 for repairs myself.  Last week the power assist failed while pulling into a parking spot and I almost hit another car because I could not turn my wheel. My transmission tech ran the vehicle system report yesterday 9-2-21 and we got the error, even though Ford said they could not see it. It is recall 15V340000.

We restarted the vehicle and the check engine light was off, and the car responded when the gas was pressed.  Later on I was turning through an intersection and again the engine stopped responding.  I coasted very slowly through the intersection, turned on the hazard lights and sat slightly off the road.  I restarted the car several times and this time the check engine light stayed on.  I checked the code and it showed \"Throttle Actuator Control (TAC) system, actuator stuck open\".  I looked on the internet and saw that many of the 2009-13 Ford Escape owners had experienced these symptoms as well.  This seems more like just a Ford problem and should be fixed by the manufacturer.    Our car is a 2013 V6 Ford Taurus SEL, that has 60,000 miles on it.

It has not been active for a while now. I have continued to drive the vehicle under these conditions despite the inconvenience it causes me. I am almost 45 years old. The wear this puts on my body, it's a shame. I fractured an elbow in an unrelated incident a couple years before I purchased this vehicle. It required a complete replacement with an implant. The pushing and pulling I've put on this has shortened the life of the implant. That I am with no doubt. But when this is your means to work, you have no choice but to adapt. Two months ago, I chose another vehicle to drive rather than to repair this one and \"hope\" for a recall. The problem my car has is identical to those recalled. The pictures I have added shows no doubt of that. I will not pay a cent to any dealership that represents a company that has chosen negligence over safety. It's hard to believe that manufacturers are given a choice in situations like this. A vehicle for the foundation that provides the public with safety and well being at that. I hope whoever reads this is able to take something away from it. Hopefully, it will push somebody in a different direction when time comes to purchase a new car that they're loved ones will be riding in. Maybe if a number of people have had enough of manufacturer's trying to compensate their losses by picking and choosing which cars to fix while making the average Joe pay out of pocket five times the actual cost of the repair, group together and push back against this dishonest entity.. a single voice, can be heard by a group of people that are able to do the right thing.

THE AFFECTED VEHICLES HAVE ELECTRIC POWER STEERING ASSIST SYSTEMS THAT MAY SHUT DOWN AS A RESULT OF A STEERING MOTOR SENSOR FAULT.

I HAVE REPLACED THE BATTERY TWICE IN 2 MONTHS BASED ON THE DIAGNOSIS THAT IS OBVIOUSLY INCORRECT. LOOKING ONLINE, I'M FINDING I'M NOT THE ONLY UNHAPPY 2013 FORD TAURUS OWNER WITH THIS PROBLEM AND OTHER PEOPLE HAVE HAD TO HAVE A FUEL MODULE REPLACED. OF COURSE WHEN I TRIED TO EXPLAIN TO MY FORD DEALER THAT I REALLY DIDN'T THINK IT WAS THE BATTERY (ESPECIALLY A MONTH AFTER I REPLACED THE BATTERY) & THAT IT SEEMS TO BE A FUEL PUMP PROBLEM, THEY TOLD ME PEOPLE TRY TO DIAGNOSE THEIR CARS ALL THE TIME & I WAS WRONG & THAT'S WHAT THE CODE SAID SO THAT'S WHAT IT WAS, SO I AGREED FOR THEM TO REPLACE A ONE MONTH OLD BATTERY, I MEAN AFTER ALL, IT WAS MY FORD DEALER & THEY WOULD KNOW BETTER THAN ANYONE, YEAH RIGHT. I HAVE 85,000 MILES ON MY CAR & IT APPEARS TO BE IN THE MILEAGE RANGE WHEN OTHER PEOPLE ENCOUNTERED THIS ISSUE, BASED ON THE RESEARCH I'M DOING ONLINE. NOW FOR THE THIRD TIME IN LESS THAN 3 MONTHS, MY 2013 FORD TAURUS IS IN THE SHOP WITH THE SAME ISSUE. THIS CAR LEFT ME STRANDED 8 MILES FROM HOME THE FIRST TIME, 50 MILES FROM HOME THE SECOND TIME, AND 30 MILES FROM HOME THIS TIME.

I WAS CONCERNED THAT MY CAR WAS GOING TO CATCH ON FIRE BECAUSE IT JUST DIDN'T SMELL RIGHT, BOTH INSIDE AND OUTSIDE THE CAR.  I ONLY SMELLED IT AFTER THE CAR GOT WARMED UP AND WAS STATIONARY OR MOVING SLOW IN TOWN.  AFTER I ACCELERATED THE SMELL WOULD GO AWAY, BUT WOULD COME BACK WHEN I SLOWED DOWN AND STOPPED.  THEN I BEGAN TO NOTICE A COUPLE DROPS OF FLUID UNDERNEATH MY CAR.  I TOOK IT TO THE DEALERSHIP WHO TOLD ME I PROBABLY HAD SOME OIL ON THE ENGINE, WHICH WOULD GO AWAY WITH TIME.  I HAD THE OIL CHANGED AND NEW TIRES PUT ON AND ASKED THEM TO CHECK A COUPLE ERROR CODES I HAD GOTTEN.  THE SERVICE TECHNICIANS TOLD ME MY CAR WAS FINE AND I COULD DRIVE IT, INCLUDING TO CHICAGO FOR CHRISTMAS.  THE SMELL PROBLEM CONTINUED AND THE LEAK PROGRESSIVELY GOT WORSE, SO I IMMEDIATELY TOOK IT BACK AGAIN.  THEY NOW TELL ME THAT THE POWER TRANSFER UNIT HAS FAILED AND THE CAR HAS A TURBO DOWN PIPE LEAK.  TO REPAIR, IT WILL COST ME OVER $2,000.00.    I CONTACTED FORD TO SEE IF THEY COULD HELP ME.  THEY TOLD ME THAT BECAUSE THE POWERTRAIN WARRANTY HAS EXPIRED, THEY WILL NOT HELP ME.  I EXPLAINED THAT THIS CAR WOULD STILL BE UNDER WARRANTY AS OF MAY 31, 2017 AND THE POWERTRAIN SHOULD NOT FAIL AT 73,000 MILES, MOST OF WHICH WERE HIGHWAY MILES.  FORD STILL WILL NOT PROVIDE ANY ASSISTANCE.  IN SPEAKING WITH THE DEALERSHIP, THEY TOLD ME THIS IS AN ISSUE THAT HAS BEEN GOING ON.  THEY'VE HAD 5 OTHER PTUS FAIL IN ABOUT SIX MONTHS.  FORD DOCUMENTED THE CASE NUMBER AS [XXX].  I AM GOING TO TAKE PICTURES AND SAVE ALL DOCUMENTS AND RECEIPTS.
