Most common problems:

Oil leaks

The 2013 Ford Taurus with a V6 engine is known for developing oil leaks, particularly from the valve cover gaskets and oil pan gaskets.

Timing chain issues

V6 engines in these models can have problems with the timing chain, including stretching or failure of the chain tensioners, leading to poor engine performance or engine damage.

Coolant leaks

Coolant leaks are common, often from the water pump or heater core, which can lead to engine overheating if not addressed.

Ignition coil failure

The ignition coils in the V6 engines can fail, leading to misfires, rough idling, and poor acceleration.

Throttle body problems

The electronic throttle body can malfunction, causing erratic idling, stalling, and loss of power.

Fuel injector issues

Fuel injectors can become clogged or fail, resulting in poor fuel economy, engine misfires, and reduced performance.

Carbon build-up

V6 engines are prone to carbon build-up on the intake valves, which can affect engine efficiency and performance over time.

Water pump failure

Water pumps can fail prematurely, leading to coolant leaks and potential engine overheating if not replaced promptly.
