problem #1

2007Oct 09

Taurus SES 3.0L

  • Automatic transmission
  • 78,000 miles

This was just the start. In Feb 2008 Trans went out (cool huh) ,and 2300.00 dollars later the problem was was fixed. In March 2009 DPFE went out (melted around hose fittings) and eventually find out that it melted due to Back Pressure from the Catalytic Converters. REPLACED all 3 for under 1800.00. WTF Ford, if a small business tried to sell an obviously defective product they would be sued and eventually put out business. I will never buy another FORD product again. One last item, A/C compressor went out in May 2009, 1173.00 dollars later problem solved. I am waiting for my next great FORD adventure !!!
