2000 Ford Taurus sel review from North America
"Very disappointed"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Erratic miss at 1500 miles.
Wheels are pitted at 5000 miles.
Rust on dog leg the size of a half dollar in six months.
Second set of wheels with the same
previous problem at 10000 miles.
Front strut spring broke at 16000 miles.
The rust on the dog leg is now a open wound. a hole that measures 1x3 inches
at 16000 miles.
The best for last,the under side of the vehicle is nothing but rust. Rust up into the strut housing is very serious and the miles again are 22000.
General comments?
I know ford motor company won't do a thing. In 2 or 3 years this car will not pass the state of pa. inspection. the rust is a very serious problem because it's up into the overall structure of the vehicle. Taurus owners do an inspection.
