2000 Ford Taurus SEL review from North America
"Lemon"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Burnt valve on cylinder 4, 45000 miles.
Front spring broke, 40000 miles.
Rear strut came loose, 47000 miles.
3 failed DPFE sensors.
Front right wheel bearing failed, 37000 miles.
Trunk assembled crooked.
Car groans with weight in the back seat.
General comments?
The car handles nicely. It is a smooth ride with plenty of power. The issue is it is broken every other month? No wonder why the warranty was only for 3yr/36K. It starts falling apart after that.
