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...

I will never purchase another Ford product! The car is only 6 years old and I have had 3 major problems--the electric car seat motor seems to be shot, the air conditioner acts when it wants to, and the vinyl is peeling off the rear interior panels. I have never had any such problem with a Toyota, which I previously owned and had for 14-15 years. I figured I try a Taurus next because it was more affordable. I can't afford to purchase another one of these products. It's not worth the savings!!
