1998 Ford Taurus GL review from North America
"I feel cheated by Ford Motor Company"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
We have to remove interior under dash bulbs, and the upper interior bulb every time We wash the car, or when it rains. Or the battery will be dead in a few hours. The diagnostic's cost $75.00 and the repair will cost Me an estimated $200.00 more or less is the Quote from Ford.
Transmission wet out 4 times in 2002, each time we had to rent a car from
Enterprise Car rental.
General comments?
All Service Rep's are very good.
We take the car to the same Dealer at all the required service times. The last one was for the 50,000 mile each time they find more wrong.
Left bolt out of the window washer tank.
Left bolts out of the main support bracket of the Air intake Flex tube.
Stripped lug nuts on three wheels.
