1996 Ford Taurus LX review from North America

"This is a very reliable, comfortable family car"

What things have gone wrong with the car?

The front end makes clunking noises. It squeaks and rattles when you make turns. Sounds like the frame is coming a part. The fuses for the lights blew out, but come back on after a while. Smell burning rubber sometimes. The check engine soon light has been on for over a year. I've had it fixed several times, but comes back on after a few miles. The key less entry sometimes doesn't work with the key alarm.

General comments?

Overall the car has been reliable. It only quit on me one twice. Once I needed a new battery the second time needed a new fuel tank. The fuel tank was the most costly expensive so far. Had to replace the lower ball joints and ball bearings once. I bought the car 3 years ago and it has lasted well over the winter. Never overheating in the summer and never needed a jump in the winter.
