2001 Ford Taurus SES review from North America
"FORD - Toyota's best salesman"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
New transmission at 40,000 miles.
New air con compressor at 35,000.
Dash lights work half the time (at night).
Auto door lock does not function properly.
Spent 400.00 for a new airbag sensor - airbag light on again after 90 days.
Drivers electric seat doesn't work right.
Cigarette lighter will not stay in the receptacle and the vanity lights decided to stop working.
The column shift has so much play while in "D" that it makes my wife nervous and she refuses to drive the car.
The rear left passenger window will not roll down from the driver's seat console button and there is a strange white oxidation on the black trim around the doors and windows.
The dealer is useless, covered NOTHING under warranty and rarely can figure out what the problem is. It is no wonder Ford lost 12 billion dollars last year.
General comments?
I will walk barefoot to work before I buy another Ford.
