| 2002 | SUSPENSION:FRONT | ABOUT 5 MONTHS AGO I FILED A COMPLAINT ABOUT MY STRUT SPRING BREAKING AND GOING INTO TIRE! I WAS TOLD THAT ISSUE IS STILL UNDER INVESTIGATION! PLEASE GIVE ME A STATUS! I HAVE FRIENDS WITH SAME ISSUES,AND THESE CARS SHOULD BE RECALLED,ITS OBVIOUS THAT THE STRUT OR SPRINGS ARE DEFECTIVE. IM AFRAID OF DRIVING THE CAR AND I SHOULD NOT HAVE TO PAY FOR THIS DEFECTIVE PART! *TR |
| 1999 | EXTERIOR LIGHTING:HEADLIGHTS | HEADLIGHTS CONTINUALLY DIM WHEN BRAKING, WHEN THE AIR CONDITIONING CUTS ON, AND DURING TURNS. LIGHTING IS MINIMAL AT THESE TIMES AND MAKES IT DIFFICULT TO SEE. THE CAR HAS DONE THIS SINCE INITIAL PURCHASE AND CONTINUES TODAY. THIS IS THE SECOND TAURUS WE HAVE OWNED WITH THIS PROBLEM. ONE DEALER TOLD US THAT IT WAS OUR IMAGINATION AND THEY COULD NOT FIND THE PROBLEM.*AK |
