1993 Ford Taurus LX review from North America
"Junk!"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
A very costly to maintain vehicle. I had a Mercury Sable some years ago and swore I would never look at another Ford car again, but made a mistake to buy a Ford Taurus just because it had a natural gas system. I can't find out the reason why it only starts from time to time, but never showed any codes when checked with a scanner.
Brakes go out all the time due to sticking calipers. Electrical problems and replacemnt of alternators, fuel pumps and so on. Stalling problems, front end wears out quickly - rack'n'pignion, rod ends, bearings...
In a word a car you would never want to buy again!
Ford means cheap, but costly cars!
General comments?
Don't buy a Ford!
Go with GM, Chrysler-Benz!
Don't make the same mistake like me to buy a second Ford after the nightmare you've had with your first Ford!
