NHTSA Complaint #10586647 — 2007 FORD TAURUS

SINCE MY 2007 FORD TAURUS HIT THE 100K MILE MARK, EVERYTHING STARTED FAILING. FIRST IT WAS A SIMPLE CAM SENSOR, THEN RADIATOR (X2) THROTTLE BODY, (X4 EACH WINTER FOR 4 YEARS IN A ROW WOULD JUST FAIL. ENDED UP REPLACING WITH AN AFTER MARKET BRAND. HAVEN'T HAD A PROBLEM SINCE) NOW RECENTLY, WITH IN THE LAST 6 MONTHS, ALL SUSPENSION (STRUTS, SWAY LINKS, BALL JOINTS) ALL FAILED. REPLACED REARS ONCE, FRONTS ARE STILL A PROBLEM ON SECOND NEW PAIR. GOING ON THIRD PAIR JUST WITH IN 2 MONTHS OF EACH REPLACEMENT, THE STRUTS JUST FAIL. TRIED SEVERAL BRAND. KYB, AND GABRIEL. ALL FAILED AFTER ONLY 2 TO 3 MONTHS OF REPLACING. PLUS TIE RODS, AND ENDS ARE BAD. ALREADY STUCK IN A GOOD $3000 JUST TO KEEP THIS CAR DRIVABLE. WONDERING IF IT`S EVEN WORTH FIXING ANYMORE AT THIS POINT. MECHANICS CAN`T EXPLAIN WHY ALL OF THE SUDDEN, THE CAR`S EATING STRUTS IN SUCH SHORT TIME. NOTHING APPEARS TO BE DAMAGED UNDER BODY. AND I PURPOSELY AVOID POT HOLE RIDDEN SIDE ROADS, AND RAIL ROAD CROSSINGS WHEN I CAN. SO IT`S NOT LIKE I`M BEING ROUGH ON THE CAR. NEVER HAD SO MANY PROBLEMS WITH MY 2001 FORD TAURUS. SHOULD HAVE JUST KEPT IT. :( *TR
