1989 Ford Taurus GL review from North America
"Should have just thrown my money away"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Basically everything that could!
A few fuel pumps.
Two starters.
Fuel gauge.
Radio light.
It rusts like bare metal.
Almost every plastic part on this car is cracked.
Hood supports.
General comments?
Right now the car has various unsolved problems.
It rattles during acceleration.
It struggles at speeds over 50 mph.
Sometimes the heater will not work.
Somewhere there is a bad connection to the turn signal, as these do not always work.
