1993 Ford Taurus SHO review from North America

Well to begin, the power steering pump squeals whenever you step on the gas pedal. It's not so noticeable after the car has warmed up, but on cold starts the car sounds bad!!

The alternator went out 3 days after I bought it. The going price for an alternator is about $200!!! So I ended up buying one the following week. But after installing it, I found out that the wiring from the alternator, battery and starter was worn out. So I paid to have the wiring re-done to insure complete recharge.

Unfortunately the car wouldn't start after a 30 minute drive in any direction. I thought I had caught the problem at the oxygen sensor. I replaced that 2 weeks after having the car.

I fooled myself by thinking the sensor would solve the problem with the car not wanting to start after being driven over a long distance. Well, I was told to check the starter. The starter holds a lot of heat and can seize up if too hot; which would cause it not to turn over after being shut off.

My calipers froze up resulting in a complete brake overhaul!!!

The radiator had a crack in it the length of the radiator so I replaced that.

Yes the car is quick and comfortable, when it was brand new it probably was great.

In the month that I've had the car, it has sat in a garaged being fixed for one reason or another. I really enjoy the car to death, but I don't think I can afford anymore repair bills.
