Faults:

New rotors and brakes were needed.

Replaced the windshield.

Nothing else has gone wrong yet.

General Comments:

We needed to get it a new windshield because it was bought from a former auction & there were numbers on it, & we tried everything to get it off.

I have had no serious problems with it yet.

My friends' cars always have problems & they are always asking me if they can borrow my Taurus.

My first car was a tan '98 Taurus, but it was totaled in a car accident.

Faults:

Everything. So many recalls, all sorts of stuff is going wrong with this car.

General Comments:

This car is horrible for anyone that bought it brand new and even worse as a used car buy. I have never seen a car have so many recalls. Mechanically the engine and transmission seem to be okay. V6 has good power, auto shifts abruptly at times. Car is built cheap and flimsy, wears quickly. If you just need a car for in the town and don't drive much this is it. Sport package offers fun driving. Ride a little harsh. I should have looked at the Honda Accord or Toyota Camry.

Faults:

A leak from a loose fitting going into the power rack occurred. Very minor.

One of the plastic dash vents has broken.

General Comments:

The real positive of this car is the great 24 valve DOHC engine. This engine really sings!

Gas mileage averages about 22 mpg (1/3 city / 1/2 highway).

Engine and wind noise are quite loud at highway speeds.

Car handles great on icy roads (with good winter tires).

Car has been very reliable for the 36,000 miles I have owned it.

Faults:

Everything!

This car had transmission problems, electrical problems, and other oddball faults!

General Comments:

The transmission went out at 60,000 miles after giving me problems for over 30,000 miles.

The dome light inside the car would not go off.

The radio would not go off, even with the keys completely out of the ignition.

The cabin air filter went out every 20,000 miles and made all the air coming in through the A/C vents smell like a skunk.

And there were so many other problems, I couldn't possibly list them all.

I have had several (7-8) Fords, and I have never had any problems out of them.

I traded a 95 Taurus for the 98, and a 92 for the 95. I was terribly disappointed with the 98 model compared to the older cars.

I have had several V8 Mustangs also, and would recommend them to someone looking for power.

I now have a 2000 Mazda B4000 truck, and I'm in love with it.

Faults:

Front brakes and rotors have been changed.. right rear calliper locked up and had to be changed.

The door ajar light has begun to stay on even though the doors are all securely shut, this causes the floor lamps to burn continuously.

The fan had to be changed because the bearings went bad. That's all so far...

Faults:

Window motor went.

General Comments:

I don't like how it rides and runs, it is reliable but I like my other car better.

Faults:

Large bang on drivers side front wheel, occurs mainly on uneven roads, dealership unable to diagnose for 1 year.

General Comments:

Nice car but 3.0 engine makes your heart race a bit when trying to merge into highway traffic with large trucks. Dealerships (3 so far) are completely incompetent and do not know how to do anything except change the oil.
