2001 Ford Taurus SES review from North America
"The 2001 taurus ses in 2 words= hunk of junk!- no offense"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Engine sensor- wouldn't replace under my warranty supposedly wasn't covered about a month or so after I just bought this car!, flaking paint (was fine when purchased, but now flaking & bubling/rusting inside doors), clicking in the front wheel base, poor engine power with the vulcan (slow acceleration) personally I should've got a SEL, or SHO with the duratec or 32 valve v8 instead, but that's just my own opinion!
General comments?
This car the 2001 ford taurus ses I bought this past fall, is definatly not worth the money I paid for it even though I only paid $6800 for it! even though it's only 4 yrs old when I bought it last year in august with only 66000 miles on it! I previously had then owned a 1996 taurus LX in which I got from my dad for graduation and had for 3 yrs loved that car, then just traded it in for this 2001 piece of crap only because the '96 had over 108000 miles on it and wanted something a little newer boy was I wrong!, but my '96 never rusted anywhere or really gave me any major problems- technically my opinion is that car was built better physically and mechanically I believe that's all I'm gonna say!
