1998 Ford Taurus SE review from North America
"This car is a nightmare"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
The heater coil broke.
I have had constant brake problems, especially with the ABS.
I have changed the EGR VALVE.
I had to change the transmission & motor mounts.
General comments?
As an American, I decided to buy American. What a mistake that was. This car has had nothing but problems since the first day I had it.
I owned a Ford Taurus Wagon in the 80's and that car caused me a living hell as well. I thought FORD would have improved over the years. I had a Nissan before this and it never caused me these kind of headaches.
People warned me. I was told FORD stands for Fix Or Repair Daily!!! They could not have been more right!!
