CarComplaints.com Notes: Most people need a car where the coil springs don't puncture or shred tires while driving. The Taurus fails in that respect.
The 1999-2003 Ford Taurus has a huge problem with coil springs breaking, which can puncture or even shred tires while driving.
The US government spent THREE YEARS (2008-2011) investigating the 2002-2003 Taurus coil springs. Although Taurus/Sable from earlier years were recalled, ultimately the NHTSA did not force a recall. They determined that because there had been no deaths & very few bad crashes & injuries, the broken coil springs defect was no big deal & not a safety defect. Tell that to all the owners who had close calls...

Intermittent problem with the trunk not opening. Sometimes won't open when using either the trunk release inside the car, or when using the trunk button on the keyless remote. When I push the trunk release, I can hear a 'clunk' from inside the trunk, but it won't open. If I then 'bang' on top of the trunk with the heel of my hand, then it pops open!
