1999 Ford Taurus SE review from North America

I have got a 1999 Ford Taurus SE. I received this car from my roommate, who drove back and forth to school. Maybe 12 miles round trip. Simple errands in town, San Clemente, Ca. The car was taken care of oil changes, good tires, etc. Well maintained.

All the sudden, a blown head gasket at 52,000 miles. That problem was repaired.

After the car had been driven to 75,000 miles, another blown head gasket. I get the car and rebuild the motor, 2,200.00, now the transmission is horrible, slipping.

My power steering I thought was gone, new power steering pump, evidently not the problem. Turns out my rack and pinion need to be replaced.

That's too much for a car with such few miles. On top of that, stupid mil light that is still on because only Ford has a breakout box to fix the p1309.

This car has too many of the same problems that Ford obviously will do nothing about, except charge you lots of money to fix, because they are the only people who have the "tool" you cannot buy to do it yourself, so the job gets done right!!
