2000 Ford Taurus SES review from North America
"Trouble-free ride with no major issues"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Front rotors warped after any single hard braking event. Ceramic pads have cured this.
Front end suspension noisy over any bump. New stabilizer links cured this @ $37/ea.
Heat shielding around catalytic converter rattled when door closed. Reshaping cured this.
General comments?
A trouble-free ride with no major issues.
This car is comfortable transportation and a great family sedan.
Wind noise is higher than I'd like, and cabin temperature fluctuates greatly when outside temp is cold. Requires heat on constantly to maintain comfort.
