1995 Ford Taurus LX review from North America
"Clunky gas-hog. Will never repeat,"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Would not start. Dealer tuned up. Still wouldn't start. Brought it back. Replaced ignition wires. Still wouldn't start. Replaced air mass sensor and paid to have car reprogrammed. Big bucks. Guess what, still wouldn't start. Brought it back. Now they want to try replacing the fuel filter for 300-400 dollars. On and on, more and more.
Ford dealer milked us appointment after appointment. Adding hundreds, yes hundreds, of dollars for each problem until they finally got to the fuel pump. Got sick of them and went to a local repair shop, Ford dealership refused to order the part for 2 days.
Kept lying and saying they had and then admitting they had not the next day.
F.O.R.D. Fix or Repair Daily.
Cabin Poorly Designed for even a short driver. No Room for left foot. Big "hump there."
General comments?
Google-searched the web and found this car notorious for fuel pump failures.
