1992 Ford Taurus GL review from North America
"Great, super reliable car"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Oxygen sensors replaced a couple times since we bought it.
Rear (and probably front) struts need to be replaced right now (183,000 miles).
Air conditioner stopped working around 160,000 miles.
Weather stripping at bottom corner of windshield wore out around 180,000 miles causing water leak into passenger floor.
General comments?
Overall, this car has been extremely reliable. It has served as a family car when first purchased, and as my "work car" for the last year.
I have the oil changed about every 7,000 miles, and other than the typical problems with computer components wearing out after MANY miles, we have not had to put much money into this car at all. I just had the starter replaced for (I think) the first time yesterday. The exhaust pipe and muffler are still the originals installed at the factory. The struts have finally worn out, but that is not surprising given the number of miles on the vehicle.
