Transmission went bad, had to replace it. 76,000 miles.
Manifold had a vacuum leak, and had to replace it. It was causing the engine to run at a very high idle. Directly after transmition was replaced at 76,000.
Tierods replaced and drive axle replaced at 80,000 miles.
Oil Head gaskets were replaced because of oil leak which caused a very bad stink. Also continuous leaks with radiator and oil leaks (not sure location of the oil leaks).
AC quit working 1,000 miles after I bought it.
Comfortable car to drive in long distances or short.
But just at the age where it's falling apart. Just glad I bought it for a good small price.
Not the most wonderful car so don't pump a lot of money in them, buy them young and sale them young if you want one.
I've had no problems with my Taurus. My transmission fluid needs to be changed. Maybe you just drive it too rough and hard or something.
