1995 Ford Taurus GL review from North America

"A high maintenance, comfortable sedan"

What things have gone wrong with the car?

I'm going to base my problems on my '93 and the'95 model, which I still own to this date. Most of the problems are in accordance my '93.

I had to replace the rear left and right rotors because they were warped.

I had to replace both brake-flex lines in the rear.

I had to replace the transmission in my '93 at 303,000 kilometers, which I guess is expected.

Replaced the whole air-conditioning system (Big bucks).

Replaced both shocks and springs in the back on either side.

Just recently replaced the starter in the '95.

Replaced the radiator along with the hoses and water pump.

My speedometer cable is busted in my '95 but I'm not that concerned.

Repeatedly had to replace the alternator brushes, then eventually the whole assembly.

Wiper control.

Windshield.

I could probably go on and on...

General comments?

I have done all my own maintenance on both of my Taurus's, this is a very cost effective way to save money.

The engine bay is very maintenance friendly, and it's easy to access all components that need replacing.

Other than related components in the engine. The 3.0L is the more reliable power plant than the 3.8L.

When in good operating condition, the Taurus is plenty powerful and worth a road trip to Nova Scotia, then back to Ontario.
