1999 Ford Taurus SE review from North America
"It's been generally reliable for me"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Basic wear and tear (brakes)...only replaced once since I've purchased the car.
Serpentine belt (don't remember the mileage at the time)
Worn radiator hose (99,000 miles)
Wheel bearing (100,900 miles)
Dome light issue (remains on all the time)
General comments?
I guess I've been lucky with this vehicle; almost all just basic wear and tear things. I was glad to read about the dome light fix (WD 40). I am very careful with my car and don't drive it "hard".
