1991 Ford Taurus GL from North America - Comments

"I think that it is the biggest pile I have ever owned and would not recommend it to anyone!"

What things have gone wrong with the car?

Well first of all two weeks after I bought the car, the transmission went out.

Then the lights started dimming. After I replaced all of these items.

Pretty soon the interior started falling apart.

The last time I drove it, I went to a Drive Through, got a drink and when I went to start it, it just clicked, nothing more, nothing less. At first I thought it was a dead battery, but I put a new battery in my Taurus and it did the same thing. So I replaced all wiring and nothing changed, finally after I took it in they said it was the fuel pump relay.

So I went ahead and replaced that, then about three weeks later the fuel pump went out. And these are my reasons that I will never, ever own a Taurus, let alone a Ford again!

General comments?

I think that it is the biggest pile I have ever owned and would not recommend it to anyone!

I bought 1991 Taurus with 43K mi. Thought it was a good deal. The transmision died while the family was vacationing. Had to tow it 150 mi. back home. Then the clear coat started to fall off. It looked like peeling skin after a bad sunburn. Now the check engine light keeps coming on after the car is driven awhile. Remember the Ford Commercials "WE'D LIKE TO BE YOUR CAR COMPANY". Well, I always wanted to "BY AMERICAN" but I wonder if a Toyota would have such problems. I hear they may take over Ford's number three spot soon. I wonder why!!!

Just to comment on your "Toyota may take over the number three spot from Ford",If you do any reading of such "spots" on the Web, you'll soon realize that Toyota IS the number 1 car maker in the world! They may not be as flashy as a 91 Taurus (sic),but I've got a 1996 corolla with 478,000 kms on it, just had to replace the battery once, tires, and a starter... ha ha ha, lets see a Ford with that record!!!

I've got a 62 Ford with the original engine and transmission that I drive every day. Let's see a Toyota top that.

The lights were dimming so you replaced all the wiring?
