Known issues on the 2014 Taurus. The federal record for this year lists five recalls. On 2.0L front wheel drive cars, the support bracket for the front drive axle halfshaft can fail, costing park function or drive; cars with the SHO performance pack can fracture a rear suspension toe link and change handling abruptly; and a part in the fuel pump module on turbocharged 3.5L cars can overheat and stall the engine. NHTSA has logged 234 complaints from owners, most on steering, then the fuel and propulsion system and the electrical system. Halfshaft bracket procedures, rear toe link torque values and fuel pump diagnostics are in the manual.
