1997 Ford Taurus GL review from North America
"Not a good buy at all!"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Unfortunately a lot has gone wrong with this car and no one seems to be able to help us.
We had to replace brakes and rotors before it was time.
We've had trouble with the door adjar lights staying on.
Our check engine light has been on for 2 years now and no one can figure it out.
The car stutters especially when it's wet or cold out.
I didn't have heat for all of last winter and when that finally got figured out it now overheats if I sit in traffic or even at a bank.
We have put so much money in this car and I still have the same problems.
General comments?
As far as comfort and space it has been fine.
But due to all the other problems, I would never buy one again! You can buy them at a reasonable price, but you'll quickly catch up in all you spend on it.
