1996 Ford Taurus GL Sedan review from North America
":-P"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Had to replace radiator.
Had to replace water pump.
Bought car (unknowingly) with a blown head gasket.
Heater core is going out.
Tranny slips.
Had to replace ball joints.
Had to replace EGR valve.
Sealing is bad.
Had to replace motor.
General comments?
Honestly this car is OK and handles great, but I would recommend buying a BRAND SPANKING NEW ONE if you are ever going to buy a Taurus.
I have been told by many mechanics that Tauruses are just overall crappy cars and that they are a pain to work on.
I have had several problems with the car which were hard to diagnose.
