Ford Taurus 2016 — Problemas relatados

In October 2025 a recall was announced concerning the rear view camera in my vehicle. A remedy date was provided to NHTSA by Ford with a date range ending July 3 2026. As of October 07 2026 my vin is still showing remedy not available. Just last month my rear view camera has started to malfunction and most of the time it either shows a black screen a blue screen or says contact dealer. Occasionally it will work normally. Manufacturer Recall Number25SA9 and NHTSA Recall Number25v695 specifically includes this issue for my vehicle yet Ford still has no remedy available for my vehicle.

The rear-view camera on my 2016 Ford Taurus Limited intermittently malfunctions when the vehicle is placed in reverse. The displayed image flickers and sometimes appears upside down/inverted. The vehicle also sometimes produces inappropriate warning beeps while reversing. There were no warning lamps or messages before the problem began. The malfunction makes the rear-view image unreliable and creates a safety risk while backing because the displayed image may not accurately represent what is behind the vehicle. I cannot safely rely on the camera to identify pedestrians, vehicles, or other obstacles. The problem has occurred repeatedly but has not yet been diagnosed or confirmed by a Ford dealer or independent repair facility. The vehicle and rear-view camera are available for inspection upon request. I am aware that NHTSA Recall 25V695 / Ford Recall 25SA9 concerns rear-view camera failures in certain 2015-2016 Ford Taurus vehicles. My vehicle exhibits similar symptoms, including an intermittent and inverted rear-view camera image. I have contacted Ford regarding the issue, and they are saying my VIN is not included. Yet, the defect is the same as what is described in the recall. I have escalated my customer service case at Ford.

The contact owns a 2016 Ford Taurus. The contact received notification of NHTSA Campaign Number: 25V695000 (Back Over Prevention); however, the part to do the recall repair was not yet available. The contact stated that the manufacturer had exceeded a reasonable amount of time for the recall repair. The contact stated that while reversing, the rear-view camera displayed an inverted, distorted, or blank image. The message "Rear-view Camera Unavailable" was displayed. The dealer was made aware of the failure but confirmed that parts were not yet available. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 160,000.

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.

Bushing of the driver side rear toe link (aka lateral link, toe arm, etc.) separated, causing the rest of the toe link to disconnect from the tire. Images are available but the original part has been taken by the mechanic. Bushing likely failed from corrosion, though this vehicle only spent 4 of its 10 years in a heavily salted environment. The toe link is also intended to last the life of the vehicle and is not mentioned in the recommended maintenance per the vehicle manual. After the toe link separated control of the vehicle was lost. This occurred at a low speed (~25 mph) in a residential area so there were no injuries or property damaged. Service center has confirmed toe link failure. The vehicle and component have not been inspected by any other party. There were no signs of issue prior to the failure. A previous mechanic had indicated that the toe link was seized and could not be adjusted for an alignment but did not recommend replacement. There was no abnormal tire wear or handling of the vehicle prior to the failure. Though this could have been prevented through maintenance, there were no indicators of a failure besides the seized bolt mentioned by the mechanic. May indicate a wider issue similar to Ford's previous toe link problems.

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.

The manufacturer has failed or is unable to remedy this safety recall for your vehicle in a timely manner. I received a letter regarding a safety recall dated October, 2025.

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.
