1999 Ford Taurus SE review from North America
"We will never buy another Ford vehicle again!"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
We bought the car at a Ford dealership with 27000 miles on it in October of 2000. The dealership did not disclose all the information about the car's history. We took the car in within a week for a few minor repairs at the same Ford dealership. The service technician told us, "We just replaced the transmission in this car a week ago". My husband and I were very upset that this information was not offered to us when we purchased our car.
In the past two and half years we have had several little problems with our car.
We are currently dealing with Rack and Pinion problems. We have been told that our car is to new for rack and pinion problems. This problem will cost us about 800.00 for a new rack and pinion, plus the cost of labor.
General comments?
Our plan is to trade in this car as soon as possible.
