2001 Ford Taurus SES 4dr Sedan (3.0L 6cyl 4A)
7 of 14 people found this review helpful
I'm 50, have owned many a vehicle in my time on earth, and this "car" has turned out to be the worst I've ever owned. There are very few items on this car that have NOT failed at least once, and I can't describe everything that has failed in 700 characters. It has gotten so bad, that I will not even give it to charity, nor anybody else. I am planning to simply drive it into a lake and video it. Nobody should ever be subjected to all of it's flaws. Do NOT buy this model. I'll never, ever touch another Ford again as long as I live.

I got my 2001 ford Taurus s.e.s. model in 2013 with 132 thousand miles-NOW-169 SCARED TO DRIVE THIS CAR......I have spent 6 thousand on repairs.it started every 3 months it needed another repair. now the car last every 3 weeks and another grand to fix it everyone who has worked on this car said you have to take the hole engine out to get to parts or they have to go through the dash.TRYED TO GET ALIGNMENT they could only do front the back is welded together so you cant get a full alignment.always runs hot. I have never had sooo many problems with a car.I see reviews on ford tauarus and it says reliable haha not the ses model.when you see this car run F.o.r.d. found on road dead.A RUST BUCKET
Look Again: 2002 Ford Taurus SEL Premium

2001 Ford Taurus SEL 4dr Sedan (3.0L 6cyl 4A)

We purchased a brand-new Liquid Grey 2002 Taurus SEL Premium with every option (except the rear spoiler). Looking through the reviews posted across the web it appears that consumers that choose to buy the SEL are better satisfied than those who purchase a lower model Taurus. Approaching 12,000 miles I too am thrilled with the safety, interior design, comfort and elegance of the 'bull'. The Mach audio system is a good choice (relative to the standard audio setup in the Taurus).
Just wow

Only have 192,000km have put 5k into fixing it so far and just keeps adding up. Master Cylinder went scariest day of my life Brakes going out while driving. So many leak issues so much oil, grease and coolant. Thermostat gone twice. Wiring issues. Back lock won't work. Door on drivers wouldn't shut had to Jimmy it a few times. Windows coming off track. No longer indicates what gear I'm in or tells me if my emergency brakes are on. The list goes on

MY TAURUS WAGON

2001 Ford Taurus SE 4dr Wagon (3.0L 6cyl 4A)
2 of 4 people found this review helpful
The taurus se wagons are made fairly cheap. The quality of components that ford usess in thier manufacture is on the low side of quality. If the wagon or sedan has the overhead valve V-6 (12V) Vulcan engine expect lower performance. The suspension and ride quality is on the low side also. The taurus devalues quickly and costs much to own due to the low quality of craftsmanship on the cars components.
