1998 Ford Taurus review from North America
"Good car with some nagging problems"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Rear driver side window does not work.
Clicking sound inside car-sounds like safety belt colliding.
Washer fluid comes out very weak.
Cover/door to front passenger compartment broke within weeks.
Problems with door ajar light.
Front passenger safety belt sticks-does not retract.
Does not run well on regular unleaded gas-although manual recommends its use.
General comments?
Overall maintainance costs have been low-regular oil changes, brake pads, etc. great comfort and roomy.
