2003 Ford Taurus Common Problems, Issues, Recalls, and Reliability

  • 2003 Ford Taurus Engine Buck/Misfire at Freeway Speeds

    The engine may misfire and/or buck while driving at freeway speeds with no fault code stored in the powertrain control module (PCM). This can be caused by an intermittent fault with the camshaft synchronizer assembly. This condition can be diagnosed by monitoring knock sensor data as per Ford service bulletin #05-22-12. Replacement of the synchronizer assembly will be required to correct this concern.

  • 2003 Ford Taurus automatic lights not working

    Multiple owners have reported instances of the automatic headlights not functioning properly. Possible causes are failure of the sunload sensor, the light switch, or the Smart Junction Box (SJB). Professional electrical diagnosis is recommended before replacement of any parts.

  • 2003 Ford Taurus Engine Oil Pan Gasket May Leak

    The engine oil pan gasket can develop a leak. Leaking oil may accumulate on the exhaust system resulting in a burning smell. Replacing the gasket should correct this leak.

  • 2003 Ford Taurus Problem With Idle Air Bypass Valve May Cause Engine Performance Problems

    If you experience difficulty starting the engine when cold, stalling at idle, or hesitations during acceleration, it may be the idle air bypass valve . This valve helps the vehicle idle steady when the accelerator pedal is not pressed.

  • 2003 Ford Taurus Camshaft Sensor Magnet may Damage Synchronizers

    The magnet for the camshaft position sensor may fall out of its mount and damage the synchronizers. This causes long crank times when starting the engine and may cause the Check Engine Light to illuminate. If this happens, both the magnets and the synchronizers need to be replaced.

  • 2003 Ford Taurus Synchronizer Shaft For the Camshaft Position Sensor May Make Noise

    The synchronizer shaft for the camshaft position sensor can cause a loud squeak or chirping noise due to failure of the upper bushing. The noise may be erratic and is usually present when the engine is warm.
