1998 Ford Taurus SE review from North America
"Too much trouble!"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
I have had problems with dome light staying on, put a new bulb in and now so far it's fine.
I also have squeaking now and then turning corners, I just slowed down and it's fine. It only happens once or twice in the past year.
The big problem is my "check engine light". The first code was 0401 last year, they put an erg solenoid in. Two weeks later light is on again. I just bought a scanner to read the codes. They should come with the car. Now I get a 0171 and 0174- system too lean and also the 0401 again. Making an appointment to get it fixed. Now I know the codes and reading the comments from this site has helped me greatly.
General comments?
I love this car, it runs great. I get great gas mileage. However I will not buy another Ford product.
You do have to baby this car.
