Dynamic Brake Support systems can sometimes fail to engage properly, which means the vehicle may not receive the intended braking assistance during critical moments.

The 3.5L GTDI engine is turbocharged, and turbochargers can sometimes fail, leading to decreased power and performance.

Premium fuel is recommended for this engine, and using lower-grade fuel can lead to knocking, reduced performance, and potential long-term engine damage.

Ford's 3.5L GTDI engine has been known to suffer from timing chain wear, which can cause engine noise and, if not addressed, serious engine damage.

Direct injection engines like the 3.5L GTDI can suffer from carbon buildup on the intake valves, leading to reduced performance and efficiency.

The water pump in this engine can fail prematurely, leading to overheating and potential engine damage.

The ignition coils in the 3.5L GTDI engine can sometimes fail, leading to misfires, rough idling, and reduced performance.

This engine has been known to have issues with oil leaks, particularly around the valve cover gaskets.

A malfunctioning throttle body can lead to hesitation, stalling, and poor acceleration.

The Ford Taurus, including the 2017 model, has been known to suffer from various transmission issues such as slipping, harsh shifting, and transmission failure.

Hydraulic brake systems rely on fluid to function. Leaks can cause decreased braking performance and potential brake failure.

Air in the hydraulic brake lines or degraded brake fluid can cause a spongy brake pedal feel, which reduces braking effectiveness.

Over time, brake pads and rotors wear out and need to be replaced. Worn components can lead to decreased braking performance and increased stopping distances.

Issues with the ABS sensors or control module can cause the ABS warning light to illuminate and the system to malfunction, affecting braking performance.

The 3.5L GTDI engine may experience misfires due to issues with the ignition system, fuel injectors, or engine sensors, leading to rough idling and reduced power.

The GTDI engine's turbochargers can develop issues such as oil leaks, bearing failures, or decreased boost pressure, affecting engine performance.

The timing chain tensioner in the 3.5L GTDI engine can fail, leading to timing chain noise, poor engine performance, and potential engine damage if not addressed.

Direct injection engines like the 3.5L GTDI can develop carbon buildup on the intake valves, which can lead to rough idling, reduced power, and decreased fuel efficiency.

Problems with the radiator, water pump, or thermostat can lead to overheating and potential engine damage.

The 3.5L GTDI engine may develop oil leaks from the valve cover gaskets, oil pan, or other seals, leading to low oil levels and potential engine damage.
