Fuel pump on other Taurus years
Report counts are for each model year on its own, so a newer car has had less time to collect them.
What this problem usually is
A lot of fuel pump complaints are tied to a recall. Owners describe a car that stalled or wouldn't start, sometimes at highway speed, and many mention that a recall covers it and the part isn't available yet. Others paid for the pump themselves before a recall existed, or on a car the recall didn't include.
What got replaced
Owners who name the part that was replaced mention the fuel pump (39 reports) and the fuel pump relay (6 reports).
Recalls and investigations
3 recalls on the fuel and propulsion cover the 2015 model year. A recall on the same system isn't always the same failure, so read the defect text.
The support bracket for the front drive axle halfshaft may fail.
A component within the fuel pump electric module (PEM) may overheat causing a loss of electrical power to the fuel pump.
During vehicle production, the fuel tank attachment bolts may not have been properly tightened. As a result, the fuel tank straps may fracture and the fuel tank could separate from the vehicle.

Should you keep driving it?
This page can't tell you that. 0 of 39 reports involved a crash. Owners who file are the ones who had a bad experience, and nobody checks their reports. If the problem affects steering, braking, power or a fire risk, treat it as a safety fault and have it inspected before a long or high-speed drive.
File your own report with NHTSA. Complaint counts are how a problem gets an investigation. How reports land on this sheet.
