1994 FORD TAURUS Complaints

TRANSMISSION FEELS LIKE IT'S SLIPPING OUT OF GEAR WHEN COMING TO A STOP FORWARD AND REVERSE ENGAGEMENT DELAY

FUEL PUMP FUSES KEEP BLOWING. HAVE BEEN TOWED 5 TIMES, CAR JUST DIES OUT. I AM AT MY MAX IN TOWS THROUGH AAA. WE HAD THE FUEL PUMP REPLACED AND THE FUEL RELAY SWITCH REPLACED. CAR RAN FOR A COUPLE OF DAYS AND BLEW FUSE AFTER FUSE. ABOUT 12 FUSES HAVE BLOWN. IN MY RESEARCH I HAVE SEEN NUMEROUS PROBLEMS WITH THE FORD FUEL PUMPS. CAR IS STILL IN THE SHOP AND WON'T START.

NO FORWARD OR REVERSE ENGAGEMENT OR DELAYED FORWARD AND-OR REVERSE ENGAGEMENT. SHIFTS OUT OF GEAR WHEN YOU STOP.

TRANSMISSION SEALS FAILED CAUSING SUDDEN LOSS OF FLUID. ALL INTERNAL TRANSMISSION PARTS REPLACED ALONG WITH FAILED TRANSMISSION MOUNTS

THE ENGINE MOUNTS CRACKED AND THE VEHICLE HAD LESS THAN 50000 MILES. ALSO, THE CONSUMER INDICATED THAT THE STATION WAGON VERSION OF THIS VEHICLE HAD A RECALL ON IT AND SHE FELT THAT THE SEDAN VERSION SHOULD TOO. *AK *SC THE AIR CONDITION HOSES WERE REPLACED. *JB

FRONT SPRING FAILED, I.E. IT BROKE. THIS COULD HAVE RESULTED IN TIRE PUNCTURE AND AN ACCIDENT. I ALSO HAVE A 1994 MERCURY SABLE AND AM AFRAID THE SAME THING MIGHT HAPPEN. *LA

1994 FORD TAURUS REVERSE JUST STOPPED WORKING,(SOUNDED LIKE NEUTRAL ). THE CAR STRUGGLED TO GO OVER 25MPH TO GET HOME. WE MADE IT HOME JUST IN TIME FOR THE CAR TO STOP WORKING ALL TOGETHER! NONE OF THE GEARS WORK AND I WILL HAVE TO HAVE IT TOWED TO A REPAIR SURFACE. ONLY 36,000 MILES AND ALREADY A NEW TRANSMISSION!

THE THIRD TRANSMISSION HAS NOW FAILED. THE FIRST TIME SHORTLY AFTER OBTAINING THE CAR NEW. THE SECOND TIME AT AROUND 65,000 MILES (AT THIS JUNCTURE I WAS TOLD BY A RELIABLE SOURCE THAT FORD WAS AWARE OF THIS TRANSMISSION PROBLEM). THE THIRD FAILURE, AUG. 2003, HAS JUST HAPPENED AFTER REPEAT TRIP TO THE DEALER WITH FAILURE OF THE CAR TO MOVE COMPLAINTS, IN THE LAST 6 MONTHS. NOW I'M BEING TOLD THAT THE TRANSMISSION IS SHOT AND THE MILEAGE WARRANTY IS NOT IN FORCE. THE CAR IS JUST A LITTLE OVER THE 12,000 MILE PERIOD BUT IS WAS NOT WHEN I BEGAN TO HAVE THE PROBLEM CORRECTED. THIS PERSON THAT I CONTINUE TO CONNECT WITH, WHILE CALLING FORD, IS NON RESPONSIVE AND REFUSES TO CONNECT ME WITH A SUPERVISOR. ALL SHE SAY'S IS "WE DON'T HAVE A PROBLEM" AND "I CANNOT SPEAK WITH ANYONE ELSE". I HAVE SPENT OVER $5,000 REPLACING TRANSMISSIONS AND I'M GOING TO GET SOME RESOLUTION. I WOULD APPRECIATE ANY ADVICE IN BRING THIS TO A POSITIVE CONCLUSION. THE INCIDENT DATE BELOW IS WHEN THE FIRST TRANSMISSION FAILED, 3 MONTHS AFTER GETTING THIS CAR NEW.

TRANSMISSION FAILED PREMATURELY. PARTS HAVE BEEN REPLACED FOUR TIMES, BUT PROBLEM STILL EXISTS.*AK

CONSUMER COMPLAINED ABOUT RECALL 98V32300 ISSUED ON DECEMBER 15, 1998 CONCERNING STRUCTURE:FRAME AND MEMBERS DEFECT. THIS VEHICLE WAS NOT COVERED UNDER THE RECALL BECAUSE THE VEHICLE WAS NOT MANUFACTURED IN THE STATE WHERE THE PROBLEM HAPPENED.*AK THERE WAS A LOUD CLUNKING NOISE, SUDDEN LOSS OF POWER STEERING. ENGINE APPEARED LOWER THAN NORMAL AND THE BODY MOUNTS ON SUBFRAME SEPARATED DUE TO CORROSION.*TS *JB
