1999 Ford Taurus Wagon review from North America
"A great family car except when it has a major costly breakdown (1-2 times per year)"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
I also am having problems with my power steering and heater core. I had my power steering flushed a few days ago, and within 2 days the power steering fluid was almost empty and making the same type of noises. Now, 2 days later, I can barely turn the steering wheel.
Also, I have spent hundreds of dollars trying to figure out why the heat doesn't work. My mechanic has decided that it is the heater core and I will need to spend the money soon (before winter) to fix it. I hope this solves the problem.
General comments?
I like the way the car handles in windy conditions. The aerodynamics play a big part!
