Consumer Description

1999 FORD TAURUS SE: WHILE TURNING, STARTED HEARING GRINDING, SQEALING NOISES. POWER STEERING FLUID LEVEL WAS FINE. BROUGHT IT TO MECHANIC, SAID THE POWER STEERING RACK AND POWER STEERING PUMP HAD TO BE REPLACED. VEHICLE HAS 65000 HIGHWAY MILES. PER MECHANIC AND FORD DEALER, THIS IS A VERY COMMON PROBLEM IN THE 1999 FORD TAURUS. COST: OVER $900.00 USD. PLANNING ON FILING COMPLAINTS WITH FORD AND TAKING THEM TO COURT, IF NECESSARY, TO GET REIMBURSED. THIS SHOULD NOT HAPPEN ON A 5 YEAR OLD VEHICLE THAT HAS BEEN MAINTAINED BY THE BOOK! I'VE DONE SOME SEARCHES ON THE INTERNET, AND THERE ARE TONS OF PEOPLE OUT THERE WITH THIS SAME PROBLEM...PLEASE LOOK INTO ASAP...*AK
