2000 FORD TAURUS Complaints

WHILE DRIVING IN INCLEMENT WEATHER WINDSHIELD WIPERS CAME ON AND OFF INTERMITTENTLY. CONSUMER DROVE VEHICLE TO THE DEALER FOR INSPECTION, AND MECHANIC DETERMINED THAT THE WINDSHIELD WIPER MOTOR NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. *AK

TWO FRONT COIL SPRING BREAK, REQUIRE REPLACEMENT OF TIRES THAT WERE PUNCTURED *BF BOTH OF THE VEHICLE'S FRONT COIL SPRINGS BROKE WITHIN A WEEK OF EACH OTHER. THE CONSUMER REQUESTED REIMBURSEMENT IN THE AMOUNT OF $571.71 BUT ONLY REIMBURSED $474.83. *NM

CONCERNS FOR POSSIBILITY OF TIRE BEING RUPTURED WHILE DRIVING. *BF THE CONSUMER RECEIVED A RECALL NOTICE WHICH STATED EVEN THOUGH THERE WAS A POSSIBILITY THAT TIRE COULD RUPTURE THAT IT WAS OK TO CONTINUE DRIVING THE VEHICLE, BECAUSE THE PARTS WOULD NOT BE AVAILABLE UNTIL DEC 2004. *JB

WHEN THE WINDSHIELD WIPERS ARE TURNED ON THE ONLY WAY TO TURN THEM OFF IS BY TURNING THE CAR OFF. ALSO THE INTERMEDIETE PART OF THE WIPERS DOESN'T WORK SINCE ALL THIS STARTED. THIS HAS BEEN GOING ON FOR A COUPLE OF MONTHS NOW. I HAVE LISTED THE LAST DAY IT HAPPENED BELOW. *AK

THE LEFT REAR TIRE WAS FOUND FLAT. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO A TIRE REPAIR SHOP. THE MECHANIC INFORMED THE CONSUMER THAT THE REAR COIL SPRING BROKE AND PUNCTURED THE TIRE. DEALER WAS NOT NOTIFIED. *JB

HEADLAMP SWITCH BROKEN...AGAIN. I HAVE HAD THIS PART REPLACED 3 TIMES. TWICE WITHIN 12 MONTHS AND REPLACED DURING THE RECALL. NOW IT IS BROKEN AGAIN FOR A 3RD TIME AND FORD HAS TOLD ME THAT SINCE IT WAS REPLACED AND OUTSIDE OF THE 12 MONTHS FROM THE ORIGINAL RECALL REPLACEMENT THAT THEY WOULD NOT REPLACE IT AGAIN. I BELIEVE SOMEONE SHOULD MAKE A BETTER PART. CAN YOU SAY...METAL POST AND PLASTIC KNOB DON'T WORK WELL TOGETHER? SORRY FORD BAD CALL. WHAT A PAIN TO CONTINUALLY REPLACE THIS PART. I WILL BE LOOKING INTO MISSOURI'S 3X YOUR OUT LEMON LAW ISSUE NOW.*AK
