In 3.5 years, I have had 5 brake booster assemblies on my car including the original. Ford tells me that the crunching noise of the brakes is a "characteristic" of the car and now offers no solutions except to live with it. I have been to two dealers and have also talked to their Customer Service department. I know there are lots of others that have this problem because they told me about 80% of Taurus' have this noise and they don't know of Ford actually doing anything about it. I look forward to the day I can get rid of the car and purchase either a Honda or Toyota; something with a better reputation.
Wish i bought a chevy

I bought a taurus when my 1994 chevy lumina with 235k miles started having tranny problems. since I bought this car I have replaced the brakes and rotors 3 times in 40k miles, replaced the headlight knob multiple times, and had it towed to the garage. the milage isn't great, the hump on the left side kills me. not well designed for people over 6 foot tall. I am really unhappy with this car but can't get rid of it becuase of the horrible resale value.
Ok vehicle, but get a cheap mechanic!

The SE/SVG looks good, inside & out, but underneath there are some pretty expensive repairs waiting to creep up on you: just after buying this car, had to bring it back in (with dealer plates still attached!) because condensation from the heater/a/c unit leaked water all over the front passenger side floor. Dealer tried to charge $800+ to fix & then I had to bring it right back in to get them to fix it completely; chirping noise from front wheels was never correctly diagnosed - front rotors were shot, had to get private garage to fix, probably saved me $250+ than having incompetent Ford dealer try to fix it; steering wheel shakes around 60 mph & when braking from 60+ down to ~30; little things kill this car.
Excellent 2000 Taurus SES

I have had no problems with this car until April, 2005. Then I had an erratic undocumented airbag light error light. The motor, 24 valve DOHC is very fast, but does not get good gas mileage.
2000 Taurus Comfortable and Safe

I love my car. I have had no problems at all. Ilove my power seats I can adjust them so I can see out very well.
