One thing that will help a lot of people with cost of parts and sometimes availability, is that Mazda and Ford collaborated with these engines so if you are to get an expensive part for the Ford version you can check on the same part for a Mazda (whether you have to go to an actual Mazda dealer or not) and usually that component is significantly cheaper even though it's the exact same component.

I have 2014 police AWD 3.7 non turbo. with 160,000 miles (200,000 kms Canada). i have had it for 4 years i had to replace the waterpump, slight leak, coolant going low, it was $3,000 to replace it, i did tune up, replaced all gaskets, plugs, oil pump, timing chain. My PTU fluid was changed, it was still in good condition. Both rear axle seals were leaking at the rear differencial, had to drop the exhaust and rear axle. Dealer replaced both cat. vconverters under extended warranty. car runs great, great in canadian snow. love the car.

Thanks for sharing. It is a great car, sorry to hear you had some bigger expenses. Lots of people lately comment about water pump issues. And now finally I got a 14 Taurus Limited which also had a water pump leak. It is a quite big job and also replaced chain and all components. Now it should be good for quite some time. Car had 220,000km. So I guess water pump goes around 200k mark

With 95k on my 2014 SHO, the only serious issue I’ve had was the HVAC blower motor failing. As a smoker I usually have it on the highest speed all the time and directed to the floor. Replaced it myself for less than $75 bucks. Another item is a circuit card gremlin (FPIM?). It causes the HVAC to turn off and doesn’t allow control using the push buttons below the in dash touchscreen. Fortunately, it still works fine using the touchscreen when this happens. Dealer stated it was a $1200 fix! I’ve heard and learned a lot about the AWD PTU and may have a mechanic replace the (lifetime) lube in it for good measure. I’ve used the paddle shifters a lot for slowing down especially in winters, but not so much any more. As a result, I’m still running with the original factory brake pads 😊 I love the car…

11:05 That can actually indicate an issue with the PCV valve causing too much pressure in the engine and it will end up pushing oil through those seals, into the vent tube, and into the intake plenum. I had that issue with my 2015 MKX with the 3.7 and after replacing the 6$ valve and cleaning the oil up my car idles better and even gets better gas mileage.

Purrs like a kitten at 145k. 3.5 V6 is a rock-solid engine, make sure to change oil every 5k. You see an old Edge, Taurus, or an explorer you know it's got that 3.5 in it.

Let’s not forget about the rear toe link recall. 🙈 took my SHO for an oil change and tire rotation only to end up going sideways down the road into oncoming traffic. Ford sent out a recall in October of 2020 and my car fell in l the guidelines to qualify for the recall BUT when I gave my vin to Ford they told me my car didn’t actually qualify for the recall. Had to report the issue to the state of transportation and safety. Also had issues with my actuator, sunroof leaking so to kinked drains, and back up camera doesn’t want to work. My 2016 SHO has only 55k miles on it currently.

It only happens when shifting up 2nd to 3rd and it doesn’t always happen. It doesn’t jerk or slip into gear, I only notice it because I can hear the engine more. When doing this is seems to shift around 2.2-2.5k rpms

I would check transmission fluid level and possibly flush it. There is a cap with a dipstick just under the air box. Remove airbox and you will see it. Drive for 20 minutes before checking the fluid as it has to be warm. I've actually recorded a video on dipstick location, just have to publish it. I'll do it tonight

I hope you never have the catastrophic water pump failure , which is common on FWD Ford vehicles with Cyclone V6 engines. That WP is timing chain driven , & in inside the engine. When it goes out , it can destroy the engine. You have to take half the engine apart to get at it. Some charge over 2,O00$ to change it.

They are really good cars. One tip I can give you and not sure if I mentioned in the video is that Power Takeoff Unit is not serviceable (no drain plug) on this cars and that's why it fails. If you have a good mechanic he can make a drain plug and service that PTO regularly. That should prevent it from failing because it will fail otherwise. Once it starts overheating the oil will leak through the vent tube and then it is over

First try to disconnect battery for 10 min and see if it helps. Then do a soft sync reset through the settings menu. If that doesn't help then do a hard sync reset by removing the ford sync fuse. If that doesn't help go to ford website and download newest sync update to usb stick and update the software. If that doesn't do it go to ford dealer to have the system scanned as it is a separate module and probably some codes are stored. If you have limited trim and Sony FCIM they very often fail causing this problems. Hope this helps

@QuiteAlright
@QuiteAlright Жыл бұрын
Yes. Ford vehicles will do that in case your battery is not fully charged to save power. To reset battery saver mode I would suggest disconnecting the battery and then fully charge it and then connect it back. That should reset it. Now the question is why the battery got depleted. It could happen because you listened to the radio for some time while vehicle was not running or even had doors opened for some time while vehicle not running. If there is a mechanical issue something could be draining the battery and the battery drain test would have to be performed. Or there could be a problem with the alternator which is not charging the battery while the car is running. Or just the battery could be slowly failing and needs to be replaced, it can be tested. If everything is good and car is still in battery saver mode, then it will have to be reset using higher end scanner which can access the module. Hope this helps

Taurus is quite reliable, but make sure to have the vehicle inspected by a licensed mechanic before you buy it.

As a 2014 sel owner it's great when mine works but I'll be fucked everytime it stops working. Bought the sucker for like $6k+/- roughly this time of year in 2020. And since have spent about almost 10k in repairs within the last year n a half ish. I'm sure it's just my luck and me suffering the consequences of the people who had it before doing dog shit in upkeep and basic maintenance. Bout the middle of last year completely obliterated the engine, timing system, all the pumps in one fell swoop. That cost me roughly $8k to fix, then just a month or so ago had the fuel pump go out again, costing like almost another 2k. It's a love hate relationship with this damn car lmao because it's 👌👍 when everything is working. But some as it ain't it's a cinder block to the face.

Sorry to hear you are having constant major problems. Sometimes it is just about luck of getting a "good" one. My Taurus now has close to 200k and almost no problems. Had to do some suspension work recently, but nothing too bad. I expect water pump to start leaking soon just because of the mileage, but we'll see

For 10k I'd have just bought a new car. It doesn't make sense pouring that much money on a used car that will probably have something else wrong with it.

This is a problematic car, please stay away from it.Too much computer and sensor controls. You have to deal with dealerships prices.Just water pump replacement cost 3000 dollars because of 10 hrs of labor to open up the whole engine. Nothing is easier to fix on this car,Power steering replacement 2800 dollars(parts=2000+labor=800).Looks good but a trap for labor costs

Hi, it could probably be a dozen of different causes. You would have to connect it to higher end obd2 scanner and run diagnostics while idling and while driving. It could be as simple as a small evap leak somewhere, needing tune up or something more serious like transmission problems
