Common 2015 Ford Taurus problems

The 2015 Ford Taurus has been reported to have several common problems, including engine issues, gasket leaks, and windshield cracks.

One of the engine problems reported is related to the electronic throttle body in some 2013 Ford Taurus redesigns. Owners of the affected models have reported that their vehicles would stall or lose acceleration for a couple of minutes due to a faulty electronic throttle body. The cost of replacing the throttle body can range anywhere between $200 and $800 plus labor costs. Other engine-related problems reported by some owners of this model year include a shuttering engine, an engine that cranks but won’t start, engine fire, and valve cover leaks.

Another engine problem reported is frequent engine misfires in 1992-2011 Taurus redesigns. More often than not, an intermittent fault with the camshaft synchronizer assembly causes the vehicle’s engine to misfire while driving at freeway speeds. Affected vehicles would chug and jerk when accelerating and sometimes act like the engine isn’t getting enough fuel. Most drivers were able to resolve the issue with an aftermarket camshaft synchronizer, which typically costs anywhere between $80 and $160 plus labor costs.

The 2015 Ford Taurus has also been reported to have gasket leaks caused by a faulty engine oil pan gasket. Some drivers have noticed a burning smell coming from the engine because of this problem. Keep in mind that gasket leaks can cause oil to seep into the exhaust system, which may cause the vehicle to stall or idle roughly. A replacement oil pan gasket, which usually resolves this issue, can cost anywhere between $15 and $50 plus labor costs.

Additionally, many owners of the 2014 Taurus redesign have reported that their windshield cracked under cold temperatures. Drivers of the affected models had to replace their windshield multiple times after hearing popping noises from under the seal. Some have also reported having wipers that won’t turn off and stay on the lowest setting due to a defective multiswitch.

It is important to note that the 2015 Ford Taurus has also had several recalls, including issues with the heated steering wheel becoming inoperative and on-demand test failure, transmission fluid leak from converter housing area, and steering wheel module programming. These issues should be fixed as soon as possible to ensure the safety of the vehicle.

In summary, the 2015 Ford Taurus has several common problems, including engine issues, gasket leaks, and windshield cracks. It is important for owners to be aware of these issues and address them promptly to ensure the safety and reliability of their vehicle.

It could be the throttle body has issues or it could be one of the sensors. At any rate, having the vehicle go into limp mode while driving 80 MPH down the freeway is a very dangerous situation. It has put me in precarious positions and it is clear that the Throttle Body is the issue.

Negative 2015 Ford Taurus car reviews

  1. Bradford Wiegand 2024-08-22

    The Ford Sync system has been problematic, even at only 13k miles. Initially, it would disconnect and unpair my phone once a week for three months. Despite my attempts to fix it by deleting and re-adding the device, the problem persisted and worsened. Currently, it does not connect at all. The car's handling around simple turns is subpar, and it feels like a mid-size pickup truck. Additionally, the transmission shifts slowly and sometimes downshifts unexpectedly in sport mode. Overall, these issues detract from the car's performance and user experience.

  2. Juston Sauer 2024-05-08

    Although the car has 31000 miles on it, I am dissatisfied with it. The front seat door posts have a notch that digs into my shoulders and the seats are hard with no cushion, making it extremely uncomfortable on long trips. In comparison, my 2009 Limited was much more comfortable and got better gas mileage. Even my older VW Passat, which is a compact car, is more comfortable for me on trips. It is clear that this car does not meet my expectations for comfort and performance.

  3. Cristobal Gibson 2024-05-06

    Hi there! I hope you're doing well. I noticed that you were interested in the 2015 Taurus SEL AWD, which originally stickered at $36K. However, it seems like you were hoping to get the new Mustang instead. Unfortunately, the trade-in value at the dealer was only $20k, which means that there was a 50% depreciation in just one year and 11k miles. That's definitely a bummer, but I'm here to help if you have any questions or concerns!

  4. Erling Connelly 2024-03-11

    The limited legroom in the vehicle may cause discomfort for individuals over six feet tall, as was the case during my test drive. It is important to take this into consideration when evaluating the vehicle's suitability for your needs.

Positive 2015 Ford Taurus car reviews

  1. Edmond Cormier 2025-01-02

    After owning a Taurus in Alaska and experiencing its great control in snow, I knew my next car would also be a Taurus. I purchased a 2010 model and never had any issues with it. When I retired to Atlanta, GA, I decided to buy a new Taurus sedan limited in 2015. It has been a great performer on both freeways and country backroads. The car is comfortable, reliable, and classy! I am already looking forward to my next Taurus!

  2. Ransom Walter 2024-10-21

    Hi there! I hope you're doing well. I wanted to share my experience with my 2015 Taurus SEL 3.5 liter V6 that I bought in March of the same year. The sticker stated that it would get 23 mpg city and 29 mpg highway, but so far, I've only been getting 21.5 mpg after driving 9000 miles. I brought it back to the dealership when it hit 7500 miles to have a full diagnostic test done, but they didn't find anything wrong. They suggested that it might be the way I drive, but I know that's not the case. Despite this, I still love the overall style of the exterior and get a lot of looks at stoplights. As someone who is 6'4, I find the driver's seat a little cramped, but still comfortable. The car sits up quite a bit higher, which makes getting in and out of the car a breeze. The backup camera is perfect for parking, although the back end is pretty high, so it does take a little getting used to the rear view mirror. The trunk is huge, but I do wish they would have taken some of that space to expand the cabin a few inches. Overall, I would still recommend this car to anyone, as long as the mpg were at the stated 23 to 29 range. Thanks for reading!

    After driving a pickup truck for twelve years, I recently switched to my niece's Taurus and I absolutely loved it. I thought it was time to enjoy driving a car that looked and drove nicely. I have received many compliments on the look of the Taurus and I am thoroughly enjoying my new ride.

    I really love this vehicle! It has great power, amazing technology, and is super comfortable to operate. As a young father with three young children, I'm happy to say that they all fit comfortably in the car. I'm so glad I didn't go with one of those outrageously expensive Dodges! This car can easily outperform an SRT. You should definitely look it up!

    My husband really loves how spacious and comfortable our Taurus is, especially since he's a big guy. It's also great on gas mileage and has plenty of room for all our suitcases on vacation!
