2002 Ford Taurus SES review from North America
"Do not ever buy a 2002 Taurus"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Rear right coil spring snapped while driving in the city. I had to replace the tire, the strut, coil spring, shock, ball-joint, and get an alignment (almost $1500 in repair)
My sway bar end links have snapped off 3 times since owning the car a year ago. (right side twice, left side once)
General comments?
I will never buy another ford ever again, after dealing with this poorly designed car and absolutely ZERO help from the dealer or Ford itself.
