Used 2002 Ford Taurus SE 4dr Sedan (3.0L 6cyl 4A) Consumer Reviews
Taurus SE - Fine Car!
We recently replaced our 1997 Escort with a 2002 Taurus SE. We love the features, the color (true blue), and ride. Lots of room inside. We also received a free bottle of touch-up paint in the mail via myford.com - that was a nice surprise!
Nothing but Problems
I bought my 2002 Taurus SE in January, and since then it has been a continual trip to the shop every 3 months for something different. Thank God you get a warranty. First the ignition switch kept me from being able to turn the key; second the switch that controls shifting went bad; third, this one will make you laugh, the battery shorted itself out?; and just recently I had the right and left sway bars replaced. This car is priced way to high for the poor power the V6 seems to put out, the seats have no real support if you are in the car for extended periods, and the ride could be quieter. I would not recommend this car, not a good value for the money.

2002 Ford Taurus SE
I had my Taurus for about 3 years now the first two years I haven't had anything major done on it besides brakes and oil changes, the last two months I had nothing but troubles with it starting from engine sensors (camshaft) fuel pump , car would die wiring electrical problems, transmission went out completely had to tow it to the dealer I have 85K on it, and I never abuse the car its very well maintained! I may switch to a Japanese car for better reliability
Nice car, bad battery
Have had mine since I bought it new in '02, other than a couple of cosmetic issues which the dealership fixed the only issue has been that the battery shorted out. Wondering if this is a known defect with these batteries.
Definately - Fix Or Repair Daily
In the shop more than on the road. Poor milage even on the highway. Nice car to have if you prefer to drive a rental car while yours is in the shop.
