2002 Ford Taurus SE review from North America
"Awful, awful, awful"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Rear of the car sags.
Blower failed shortly after buying, fixed by hitting with a hard plastic mallet.
Steering rack began leaking around 67,000 miles, the leak quickly grew worse.
One of the power locks stopped working.
Windshield washer hose cracked and came apart where it enters the liner under the hood.
General comments?
Working on this car is IMPOSSIBLE, do NOT buy it if you are a DIYer.
Thin tires make for an uncomfortable, and the weak springs makes the car handle like a yacht.
Good mileage, average is 25-30 mostly highway.
