I AM A OWNER OF A 2001 FORD TAURUS WHICH I BOUGHT USED AND HAVE OWNED IT NOW FOR 2 YEARS. IT IS THE FIRST FORD I HAVE OWNED IN OVER 20 YEARS. SINCE I HAVE OWNED IT, IT HAS NOT GIVEN ME TOO MANY PROBLEMS, JUST THE BASIC BREAK DOWNS LIKE, BATTERIES, BRAKES ,SEIZED A/C COMPRESSOR,COOLANT EXPANSION TANK CRACKED, ECT. THOSE THINGS ARE GOING TO BREAK. BUT WHAT HAS REALLY UPSET ME IS HOW I HAVE READ ABOUT THE COIL SPRINGS BREAKING ON THE TAURUS AND CAUSING POSSIBLE DAMAGE TO THE VEHICLE. I DIDN'T THINK IT WOULD HAPPEN TO ME BUT AFTER ARRIVING HOME TODAY I NOTICED A SMALL PIECE OF METAL UNDER MY 01 TAURUS AND AFTER FURTHER OBSERVATION I FOUND IT TO BE A PIECE OF MY REAR COIL SPRING FROM THE DRIVERS SIDE. I AM A 40+ YEAR OLD MALE WHO HAS HAD MANY MAKES AND...

WHILE OPERATING MY 2001 FORD TAURUS SES, THE VEHICLE OVERHEATED WITH NO WARNING (LOW COOLANT LIGHT DID NOT ILLUMINATE). I WAS ABLE TO PULL THE VEHICLE OFF THE INTERSTATE WITH MUCH DIFFICULTY UNDER NO POWER. UPON INSPECTING THE ENGINE, FOUND SEVERAL CRACKS IN THE RADIATOR OVERFLOW (PLASTIC) RESERVOIR. WAS ABLE TO GET THE VEHICLE RUNNING AGAIN AFTER ADDING COOLANT. I WAS ABLE TO GET THE CAR HOME, BUT OVERHEATED ON THE WAY 3 TIMES. I ORDERED A NEW RESERVOIR FROM FORD FOR $103.00 AND WILL INSTALL IT MYSELF ONCE IT ARRIVES. *NM

I STARTED HEARING A NOISE IN THE ENGINE, PARTICULARLY WHEN ACCELERATING OR IDLING. THIS STARTED ON WED., 11/10 AND I TOOK IT TO THE DEALER 11/17. I WAS TOLD THAT THE AIR CONDITIONER COMPRESSOR HAD FALLEN APART, THAT THE BELTS WERE BARELY HOLDING IT ON, AND SINCE I AM 10 MONTHS OUT OF WARRANTY, IT WILL BE $1200 TO REPAIR. AFTER CHECKING WITH A MECHANIC THAT WE USE TO MAINTAIN OTHER VEHICLES, WE FOUND THAT THIS WAS A REASONABLE PRICE SO WE AUTHORIZED THE REPAIR BY THE DEALER. HOWEVER, THEY WERE UNABLE TO TELL ME HOW THIS COULD HAPPEN TO A 3+ YEAR OLD CAR WITH 32000 MILES ON IT. I WAS TOLD THAT IF I CONTINUED TO DRIVE THE CAR, THE COMPRESSOR COULD FALL OUT AT ANY TIME AND I WOULD BE UNABLE TO DRIVE THE VEHICLE.*AK
