1999 Ford Taurus SE review from North America
"Its put together nice, but with bad parts"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
My 1999 Taurus encountered its first problem at 20,000 miles. The automatic shifting handle would not engage, which left my wife broken down. The next problem started with my heating system where it made no heat. At 98,000 miles the power steering went out as well as the heater again, and its still in the garage for a second time.
General comments?
I've had 3 new Fords and now I think its time for a import.
