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...
when i accelerate my car makes a rattling noise, im thinking its the serpentine belt because when i had gotten that fixed the noise had stopped but about a week or two later the noise started again. my friend has a ford Taurus and he has the same issue but its a little louder and his car is a older model. but does anybody have the same issue that i have? some people can hear it and some cant but when its your car, you know how its suppose to sound, and i hate all fords!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! but it is a pain in the butt to pay for the repairs especially for that serpentine belt because you have to directly buy it from ford. fords suck, fix or repair daily
