1995 FORD TAURUS Complaints

DESIGN OF THE ENGINE IS POOR. UNDERNEATH THE ENGINE SOMETHING PULLS SAND INTO THE ENGINE, AND CAUSES PROBLEMS WITH THE ENGINE/TRANSMISSION SHAKES WHEN DRIVING UP TO 75 MPH. THE DEALER CANNOT DUPLICATE THE PROBLEM. *AK

CONSUMER DRIVES VEHICLE DAILY. WHEN DRIVING AT ANY SPEED BETWEEN 5MPH AND 70MPH THE VEHICLE WILL SHUT DOWN,LOSING ALL POWER. DEALERSHIP SAYS THEY CANNOT DUPLICATE PROBLEM, THERE WAS A HIGH PITCHED NOISE THAT THE DEALERSHIP STOPPED, BUT THE VEHICLE STILL LOSES ALL POWER. VEHICLE HAS BEEN IN FOR REPAIRS OF SAME PROBLEM FOUR TIMES. *AK

TRANSMISSION INTERMITTENTLY AND UNPREDICTABLY SLIPS WHEN ACCELERATING FROM STOP. WHEN IT ENGAGES, IT DOES SO WITH A HARD JERK.

SPEEDOMETER FAILS BETWEEN 25,000 AND 40,000 MILES. OWNER HAS NOTICED THIS ON FOUR DIFFERENT TAURUS'. THE SPEEDOMETER HAS BEEN REPLACE ON THE CURRENT VEHICLE AND THE REPLACEMENT HAS ALSO FAILED.

RECALL ON HEAD GASKET MAY RESULT IN ENGINE OVERHEATING OR ENGINE FAILURE, THIS FAILURE HAS NOT YET OCCURED AND REPAIR CAN NOT BE DONE UNTIL FAILURE IS EXPERIENCED DUE TO RECALL GUIDELINES.

SPEEDOMETER HEAD HAS BEEN REPLACE TWICE. BOTH TIMES THEY HAVE HAD 35000 MILES ON THEM.

I RESEARCHED PREVIOUS COMPLAINTS ON SPEEDOMETERS READING INCORRECT OR ERRADICLY. THIS SPEEDOMETER HAS BEEN REPLACED TWICE AND IS QUITE COSTLY (APPROX $350-400). THERE WERE 8 OTHER COMPALAINTS IN REGARDS TO THIS PARTICULAR PROBLEM! THAT IS QUITE A FEW COMPLAINTS OF THE SAME PROBLEM. I WOULD APPRECIATE YOU LOOKING IN TO THIS AND E-MAILING ME WITH A RESPONSE WHEN YOU GET A CHANCE. I APOLOGIZE FOR NOT HAVING THE VIN NUMBER HANDY. THANK YOU.
