1990 Ford Taurus LX Wagon review from North America

"A bad bargain"

What things have gone wrong with the car?

Cracked windshield from heated windshield.

Factory radio just made a bunch of static.

A/C went out, didn't fix.

Wiring harness bad caused an electrical fire with the cooling fan, burned up starter, and ignition switch.

Automatic climate control buttons broke.

Power locks on driver side and rear passenger side broke.

Engine blow head gasket and there was a severe knocking, had to replace the engine.

Had to replace front end parts, ball joints, tie rods, axles, struts.

Had to replace an engine module.

Had to replace the alternator.

Had to replace the starter.

Short circuit in the voltage regulator, almost caused a fire, ruined a battery and had to replace the battery.

Rear window defogger quit working.

Rear wiper would go on automatically.

Locking mechanism for the gas door broke.

3rd gear on the transmission went out, got rid of the car after that.

General comments?

This car may have been a good car brand new.

Handled horrible on slippery road conditions, even after new tires and alignment.

Nothing but problems with this car.

I spent more time fixing it than driving it.
