Nothing so far.
The temperature gauge is acting funny. I have never seen something like that before. It picks up when the engine is warm and then it drops, picks up again, and so on... I never know how hot is the engine!
I bought the car on an auction, really cheaply after I had promised myself I will never buy an American car! (I read a LOT of bad things about them on this site). Well, I gave it a shot, after I saw the car had leather seats, CD player, both power seats, power sunroof, just EVERYTHING you can imagine. I have never seen a Taurus like this!
It drives great, the engine is very quiet! The premium sound system is great, especially with the CD player.
V6 3.8 engine gives a LOT OF PICKUP from the stop and I love that. I can squill my tires even though it is an automatic. Racing from stop lights is fun now, I can beat almost anything until 40 mph.
So far, always started fine on me. I am grateful.
The temperature gauge problem is really just the cooling fan cycling on and off, my '92 LX does the same thing and it is no problem.
You only read a lot of negative things about American vehicles because most people are more likely to complain than to praise about things. Its just the fact this is a website known very well in America. I myself think American vehicles are the most stylish and reliable cars there are. People who say nothing beats my Toyota,.. they should only take a close look at it.
