Used 1999 Ford Taurus Sedan Consumer Reviews
i like it...
I'm had my car for about 2 months...so far I love it. The car cash mileage is great. I also took out an extend warrenty. I had a good experience with my car so far. Its kinda fun. Its a good long distance driving car.
Its not too bad
If it wasn't for the tranny going out at 42000 miles (extended warranty) and the brakes forever shaking this would be an excellent car.
Irritated with Ford Motor Co!!!
My dad gave me the car 2 years ago. I have loved it up until recently.It's been a well maintained car while both of us have had it, more recently, really stupid things have been going wrong with it, like the heater hose, but guess what they don't make those heater hoses any more...by the way the are a molded maze of nightmares,the master cylinder was just replaced with the brake booster too, and the cam shaft position sensor went bad, don't go by the diagram to replace it, you will never find it. The starter is out on it now, due to an oil leak and I had to replace a battery, for the second time, 90 bux they are for that car. i liked the car, until ford stopped makin parts for it!
Dependability
My 1999 Taurus SE has 36,000 miles. It has had the scheduled maintenance and has not cost an additional dollar to maintain. Highway mileage has been 28-30 mpg.
Fun once Fuel Problem Solved
Extreme hard start and sometimes no start. Many parts later, leaking fuel pump regulator. Fuel pressure bleed down when parked, no or little fuel pressure to cylinders on initial cranking, then sputter, start. New regulator. Fixed. Brake rotor warp. Have had 2 sets of front rotors and just ground 2nd set to get out warp. Lug nuts not tightened evenly? Car had slight track off to one side of road. Rotated and balanced. Worse. Put all wheels back to their original positions. Much better. Local garage says get rid of cheap General Tires cheap tires. Windshield wiper sometimes comes on by itself.
