1989 Ford Taurus Station Wagon review from North America

I got rid of it in '92 but I am still mad at it til this day so please forgive me.

Way too much to list here

I spent more money fixing it than I did when I paid for it @the dealer.

I bought it with 1.5 miles on it brand new. I bought a 25,000 mile warranty& literally the day after it hit 25,000 things started breaking left& right. I spent more money fixing it then I did when I paid for it @the dealer.

The biggest thing that broke were the mounts holding the drivetrain in place.

I was on my way to work one day& It started shaking& rattling then something big from the engine bay fell out& I could see it in my rearview mirror sparking on the pavement other cars swerving to avoid it. No less than 5 seconds later I I hear an extremely loud bang lose all power& steering I can hear a loud grinding noise and I can see sparks and all little parts flying out from underneath as the car slows down extremely fast. The whole drivetrain fell out of the car& left a nice 50 yard trail of destruction down the highway.

After I got out I realized the oil on the road caught fire& so did the hulk of engine.

When it was all said& done the firewall had been puched back 5 inches, $250,000 in damages to the asphault, ONLY 30,000 TOTAL MILES ON THE CAR& a lousy $500 from my insurance company.

The day after this happened I recieved an express letter from Ford telling me that the drivetrain mounts have been recalled.
