1988 Ford Taurus L review from North America
"Piece of crap car"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
At 64,000 miles the rod blew a hole in the engine, and oil leaked everywhere.
The brakes were not working properly when my parents bought the car.
The passenger side window doesn't even come close to working.
Seat belts lock up before I even put them on.
The alternator was brand new at 25,000 miles said the guy we bought it from.
General comments?
This car is a piece of crap. When we bought this car, the guy told us it was in mint condition. Boy was he wrong. I could not drive it before I could go 1500 miles after buying it. I had to get a new engine because of the rod hole. I took care of the car real well, but that wasn't enough. It was too damaged and rundown before I bought the car. Although I had a good time with my car, it was not very good to buy. I regret buying it.
