1993 Ford Taurus GL review from North America
"Nightmare-worst piece of junk ever!!!"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Too many to name... This car NEVER ran right from the day I bought it...
New transmission at 51,000 miles.
New transmission at 79,000 miles.
Head-Gaskets blew at 86,000 miles.
Rebuilt engine at 86,000 miles.
Head-Gaskets blew at 91,000 miles.
New (used) engine at 91,000 miles.
Transmission finally died a THIRD time at 97,000 miles.
Various interior parts broke for no reason because of cheap plastic and bad design.
Check engine light was always on...
Oil light was always on... even though the oil level was fine...
Turn signals stopped working.
Windshield wipers stopped working at random times...
Dashboard started cracking in various places...
Half the time it didn't even start... couldn't figure out what the problem was...
Shocks always wear out more than normal...
Lots of clunking and loud banging noises while driving...
General comments?
The Ford Taurus is the worst car ever produced. The car is a complete disgrace to anyone who drives it. In order to save a few dollars, Ford used cheap quality parts and engineering on every single element of this car, and boy does it show.
It will cost you more to fix this car on a daily-yes daily-basis than the original purchase price!!
I honestly don't know who in their right mind would even think about buying a Ford Taurus. There are SOOOOOO many other better cars out there.
Avoid at all costs!!!
