1994 Ford Taurus Sedan LX 4dr Sedan

Review

Bought it with 56K miles on it 81K on it now and it ran strong for the first year The car always pulls to one side so I had the tires aligned Turned out the entire front end (suspension, swaybar, springs) were shot Replaced those and all the tires for around 1800 Car still pulls to one side <.< Replaced water pump, radiator (twice), a short of an exposed electrical bundle near the firewall, tranny went out at 75K due to a leak at the tranny pan. Unknowingly drove it bone dry in inner city traffic. Had a used one put in for 1500. Tranny pan still leaks. Leaks a quart of oil a month from the valve cover. Needs a new timing chain gasket. Interior rattles and squeaks enough to make a man crazy.

Best Features

Digital climate control is nice even though the buttons are all torn. Retractable antenna was great until it broke off. I like the radio controls for the stock tape deck next to the steering wheel. Moon roof is nice. Keyless entry works great until the passenger door lock stopped working. Engine is bullet proof. Never fails to start even in winter.

Worst Features

Improve the tranny. It shouldn't die before 100K.

Review

I just bought a Taurus & am in a dispute to get my money back. the guy lied on the disclosure sheet but more important, I getting all the problems I'm hearing over & over in these reviews! Tranny, jerky shifting, thumping on taking off or shifting. Thing is, I like the car, really. Even though, as I've read here, the electric windows and locks leave something to be desired. I found the previous owner, who told me it has always knocked and shifted jerky, but you get used to it, and its been a great car, so I should have Arden fix the motor mount and ignore the rest and it'll be a good car for me. I'm 60, alone, no man to help me if I have car trouble. But I really like driving this car!

Best Features

Dash board radio controls pop open trunk

Worst Features

Tranny windshield wipers electric system hate those pull down arms in the center of the front seat

i bought the car in 2006 at precinct auto sales it only had 99,000 miles on it i fell in love with it. It was white it was fairy decent interior and exterior for being an older vehicle. As the months go by i started noticing the car would make a weird noise after a stop and then jump it was not bad at first though. It started getting worse then one day the transmission went out on a hill..... it would cost about 1500 to replace so i decided to get rid of it and the trans shop said it may not work...it went out about 11000 miles later...

Best Features

i loved the controls on the dashboard so i can change the stations without taking my eyes off the road, the interior was very comfy though.

Worst Features

make transmissions that work

Review

I bought last month a used 94 Ford Taurus GL with 84k excelent condition for his age. Did a tune up, new tires, flushed coolant, new air/gas filters, gas treatment. The magic lasted 30 days. Transmision died 2 wks ago. Was bone dry, no idea how lost all the oil, i park my car in the driveway, no oil leaks, tune up was performed. I read postings on Taurus forums, almost all Taurus/Sable cars suffer from transmision problems. IDK how Ford could get away with Tauruses dying before 80k. And still survive. This is my first american car, always owned imports (had to let my new car go since i lost my job) though this Ford was gonna be a great used car. Bad choice. Engine is durable. Tranny crap.

Best Features

Strong reliable 3.0L engine. Big trunk. Good looks for his age. Comfy ride.

Worst Features

Unreliable horrible transmision. 30 days after bought i'm stuck with a $1,300 repair bill for something that most likely will happen again soon. Poor quality interior. Low fuel economy.
