1998 Ford Taurus SE omfort review from North America
"I love it and would buy another one"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Had the automatic transmission rebuilt at 150000, and then at 189000.
I also had the problem with the dome light not going out because the door ajar light was lit. I sprayed the latch and it went away.
Recently the high beam indicator light let go.
The head lights glazed over, this is a problem with Fords from this time.
My drivers side seatbelt does not always retract automatically, but I can live with this.
General comments?
I like my Taurus, and would buy another one, I find it very comfortable to drive.
