Taurus SES 3.0L V6
My wife called and said it's really hard to turn the car. Checked the power steering reservoir, which was quite low. Added a whole quart of power steering fluid, started the car and drove it home with no issues. A few hours later, I noticed a large puddle of some fluid below the car. Checked the power steering reservoir and it was completely empty. Dealership says Rack and Pinion steering is shot, and it will be roughly $800.00 to fix it.
This was the last straw. We traded this in on the crossover SUV my wife always wanted, a Pontiac Aztek. Knock on wood, it cannot possibly be worse than this piece of crap. I've never purchased any vehicle but a Ford, but my wife won't even allow me to buy another Ford vehicle for her, as this car stranded her on 7-8 occasions, and she only drives it 4,000 miles a year. Steer clear of this model year on the Taurus if you value your money.
