Ford Taurus
Problems & Worst Years

The 2015 Ford Taurus, the only model year in this file, logs 167 total complaint occurrences across 16 problems, none rated at safety severity. Rearview camera problems lead by a clear margin — 29 reports of display failure and another 22 describing intermittent camera functionality, together accounting for roughly a third of all complaints filed against this year.

Stalling shows up from two directions at once: 18 reports describe the engine stalling during driving, and another 18 attribute stalling to fuel system failure specifically. A further 18 reports describe owners unable to get a recall repair completed due to parts unavailability, which is worth noting given that three recall campaigns are on file for this year — 15V605, 16V621, and 20V072 — so confirming that any open recall has actually been closed, rather than just scheduled, is a real and specific check to make on a 2015 Taurus.

None of the reported problems reached safety severity in this data, which is a point of reassurance, but the volume around stalling and camera failure is still consistent enough to warrant attention. A pre-purchase check should include verifying the backup camera functions reliably through several ignition cycles and asking about any history of stalling, along with confirming recall completion by VIN rather than taking a seller's word for it.

With only one model year represented, there's no trend to weigh — just this year's record against whatever else a buyer already knows about the specific car. As always, these are complaints owners chose to file with NHTSA, not a measured failure rate, and a documented service history plus an independent inspection matter more than the year on the title.
