A ball joint and the stabilizer links needed to be replaced at 55,000 miles. It was fixed on the extended warranty, which I recommend highly.
Brakes wore kinda fast, they were replaced at 55,000 also, but didn't need it right away.
Overall good family car for the price. Reliable and a smooth driver.
Motor reliable, but a little mean on gas and it spark knocks on hard acceleration. The flex fuel only means a pretty badge on the fenders to me. I would recommend the duratec since the 3.0 is pretty slow.
Tires on it sucked! I replaced them with Goodyears and it was a big difference in traction and ride.
With regular maintenance and some care the Taurus is a good car.
When you had to replace the ball joint and the stabilizer, did the steering wheel shake at higher speeds?
