1999 Ford Taurus SE review from North America

Problems with my 1999 Ford Taurus: rear breaks changed twice within 6 months ($300.00) Struts recently changed ($400.00) Power steering pump changed in 2003 when steering problem begin, now after one year, steering problem has gotten worse. Mechanic suggests a rack and pinion repair ($1200.00) No heat---mechanic thinks that there may be a duct block, that means taking the entire dashboard apart ($300.00). Car overheats.

Have been told two mechanics that they have been seeing either no heat or power steering problems in several Fords. I was told to see if there are any recalls on Fords because of these and other problems. I have read on-line that there are a lot of Ford owners who are experiencing the same problems I am having now, even after the costly repairs have been made. I called 1-866-432-7332 and filed a complaint. I urge everyone who are having these problems to call so that Ford can take responsibility. I am considering purchasing another car...it's not worth having the repairs done and these problems still and will continue to exist.
