Taurus SE 3.0L V6

  • Automatic transmission
  • 250,000 miles

Actually, this is a defense, not a beef. I have seen where this has happened to people with as few as 45000 miles! I cannot complain too loudly, though, after 250k. The engine just purrs! I am going to have this fixed and give her another run, but my wife is using words in her conversation like, "reliability", and things like that. She gets the newly-acquired Focus wagon. [I am lusting after a Chrysler 300M....]

The transmission on my 2000 Ford Taurus SES went out, front wheels locked up. I was at funeral for a friend. Had to have it towed home. 5 more payments and it's mine. I live on disability. So I guess it's my loss. I emailed Ford Company. They emailed back, saying what do you want us to do? I told them to stand behind their cars, help me pay for it. Never got an answer back. The laff is on me I guess.

Taurus SE V6

  • Automatic transmission

My mom and dad bought me a 2000 Ford Taurus car and 4 days later the transmission quits, and it barley moves when you rive the engine up. My dad changed the transmission oil and filter and it did not fix it. My old pontiac has been down since I graduated from high school. I never had a job since then and still don't have a job because I live in the county. If there is a way to fix this transmission problem I will thank you.

I Bought this piece of junk 2 months ago installed new transmission and now 5 days later bad again people be very careful with these cars i mean trash cans. sorry for the expression but its plain truth even tho i am a ford lover but they should just recall this piece of sh*t and do something for us consumers. Which ford probably does not realize we buy products cause we need them its not that we buy cars to look at them.
