2004 Ford Taurus SE review from North America
"Cheap. In quality and looks"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Transmission light has came on several times and has started to slip and shift roughly. Took the car in for diagnostic on the transmission. Was told the computer was going bad. Transmission fluid is slightly dark, but is full. I think a filter and fluid change would solve the problem, and not a $1000.00 computer change.
Have changed the battery once and need to do so again. It has gone dead while sitting for a month. Changed tires twice. OE Continental tires are horrible.
General comments?
I have a bad back and I am six foot tall, I find it hard to get in and out of the car. Power seats are hard to find a good fit.
