1999 Ford Taurus SE review from North America
"One of my favorites"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Have already posted a review, but forgot some things.
Replaced CV joints.
Tie-rod ends.
Replaced front wheel bearings.
Replaced ball joints.
General comments?
Once on a trip from NC transmission would not go into overdrive.
Drove almost the whole distance in 3rd gear at 70+ mph back to Ohio.
Has not done it since. Engine runs like it's new.
It will do every bit of 110 when asked.
