2014 Ford Taurus Engine Problems

“Occurs every 2000 to 3000 miles when slowing down to stop. As I get near the idle speed (2-3 MPH) with my foot on the brake peddle the engine starts to rev up and pull the car forward. I have to throw the transmission into neutral and the engine RPM's spike up to 5000 to 6000 and then immediately settles out to an idle speed. I had a tuneup done at 100k miles and part of the service was to reset the computer system. The shop ran a full diagnostic. This did not resolve the problem. I'm at about 118k miles now. This problem started to occur after about 75k miles during calendar year 2018.”

“Fuel pump control module failed causing engine to stall and not able to be restarted. Fortunately at the time I was at the side of the road idling, however I was 5 minutes away from getting on the highway. Parked car, and purchased replacement fuel module from Ford dealer and able to get car running again. Ford has issued recall 16s31, however my '14 Taurus with a naturally aspirated 3.5l is not included in that recall. Part number of the module is aa8a-9d412-ca and supplier code doesn't appear to be one of the stated suppliers that is ok to use. Supplier code appears to be -oc. …”

“This vehicle was sold to me with a not for sale in states requiring California emissions, no governor on the vehicle as well faulty lighting mechanisms. The fuel pump is fluctuating and the car is a danger to myself and those around me. I consulted with a independent licensed mechanic who confirmed these defaults. No warning lights no messages and the dealer did not point out these flaws. I discovered this issue after getting some routine maintenance done on the vehicle”

“Driving down CR 230 in Wyoming, the situation started if I have to estimate, 7 miles west of Woods Landing, I heard a metal on metal grinding noise from the engine bay, and a loss of power on the throttle. I look at my RPM gauge and notice it is a zero. No check engine light, all electronics working as normal along with the brakes, and I slow the vehicle down to 30 MPH. Shortly after noticing, I get a Check Brake System flash on my instrument panel cluster, also the light which illuminates for my parking brake turns on, and I lose power brakes, the brake pedal turned extremely stiff. …”

“On the 24th February, 2022, I was driving my 2014 Ford Taurus taxi cab on the highway to go pick up a client. I saw a dash light indicating slippery road and suddenly, I could not control the steering of the car. All attempts to control the steering proved futile, and the car kept swerving on both sides, till it hit the divider between the roads. This is the second time that this incident is happening to me. The first incident resulted to a minor damage, and the car was taken to the shop for fix. With the second incident from last month, this resulted to my car being totaled. …”
