2000 Ford Taurus SE review from North America
"Unreliable money sucker"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Rotors warped and brakes needed to be replaced at 40,000 miles.
Electrical problem with brake pedal caused the car to not shift out of park, no brake lights, and brakes did not shut off cruise control.
Fuel sensor problem caused car to fail and fouled out spark plugs.
Two weeks after fuel sensor problem, the fuel pump failed.
Fuel filter got clogged causing car to fail and cost over $100 to replace.
General comments?
Plan on building up a separate savings account for car repairs!
On the positive side, it is roomy and I liked the style. I don't know if it is worth all of the headaches though.
