5/5 Overall
NHTSA 5-Star Safety Rating
Complaints for the 2019 Ford Taurus are spread across a small number of reports, with the rearview camera standing out as the most consistent theme. Multiple owners describe the backup camera displaying a black, blank, or distorted image when the vehicle is shifted into reverse, with some reporting flickering or a blue screen. One owner also notes that blind spot warning indicators on both mirrors stopped working alongside the camera issue, and a dealer visit confirmed the camera needed replacement in that case. Engine and engine cooling each draw a couple of reports, though the narratives don't point to a clear shared symptom. A separate report describes wiper control problems, where the wipers would only run at full speed or not at all depending on conditions.
