1998 Ford Taurus GL from North America - Comments

Door indicator light in the dash stays on and the doors are shut. I'll step on the brake after driving for 5 minutes and the light will go out then the doors will auto lock.Sometimes you can not lock the doors until the dash light goes out

Started burning about 2 quarts of oil between oil changes @ about 50,000 miles.Now at 76,000 miles it burns about 3-4 quarts

Transmission slips for the first 10 minutes of driving (and yes I check the oil levels)

The only real positive things I can say about this car are great gas mileage (for a car of this size) and lots of space on the inside and trunk.

Ford makes the worst seats of any car maker, the seats in the Taurus feel like a poorly made couch.

This car is cold blooded takes like 15 minutes just to get heat. Burns oil like it's going out of style. I've owned cars with more than 100,000 miles that burn less oil. I would not recommend this car to my worst enemy.

I'll never own another newer Ford.

Here is another 4 letter word JUNK.

Finally someone who agrees with me about Ford Taurus seats.

I would LOVE to hear Stevens comment on how he thinks this car rides.

Thanks Steven for your review.

In the two years I've had my Ford Taurus, I've had to put in a new battery, brakes, and a fuel pump. Now the interior light stays on, my door ajar light stays on that's causing my battery to drain and the motor in three of the doors have gone out. I'm still paying for this piece of crap and have to pay for $1,000 in repairs. I will never recommend a Ford to anybody and I sure will not purchase another one.

If anybody cares, I had the problem with the doors and the interior light staying on. Here's a quick fix and will save you a lot of $$$$. Go get a can of WD-40 or JD and spray it on the door jam on all 4 doors. Spray it good. I bet your problem goes away. It drove me nuts!!
