CONSUMER STATED AFTER DEALER REPLACED GASKETS, CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON, RADIATOR FAILED, IDLE AIR CONTROL MOTOR, PCV FAILED, FUEL INJECTOR SEAL, IGNITION MODULE, STARTER MOTOR, AND EXHAUST GAS RECALCULATION (EGR) FAILED. *YD

I HAVE HAD TROUBLE WITH ALMOST EVERYTHING POSSIBLE ON THIS CAR. THE HEAD GASKET FAILED WITH NO WARNING, NO OVERHEATING - CAR WOULD NOT START, HAD IT TOWED TO DEALER WHO INFORMED THAT HEAD GASKET HAD BLOWN. HEAD GASKET FAILED AGAIN 7 MONTHS LATER. HAD TROUBLE WITH SURGING, RACING ENGINE FROM ABOUT 25000 MILES, DEALER COULD NOT FIND PROBLEM. FINALLY, REPLACED SPEED SENSOR WHEN OUT OF WARRANTY, AND IT FAILED AGAIN 4 MONTHS LATER. HAVE HAD TIE RODS AND BALL JOINTS REPLACED, MOTOR MOUNTS REPLACED TWICE, BRAKE PROBLEMS STARTING AT 24,000 MILES. THE AIR CONDITIONER COMPRESSOR CAME APART WHILE UNDER WARRANTY. THE COOLING FAN IS NOW STICKING, WHICH STARTED AT 65000 MILES.MECHANIC ADVISED THAT THIS PART IS NOTORIOUS FOR GOING BAD, AND THAT SO MANY HAVE HAD TO BE REPLACE, THE PRICE OF THE PART HAS GONE DOWN. I FEEL THE 1993 3.8L TAURUS MODELS SHOULD BE COVERED UNDER THE RECALL, AS WELL AS THE COOLING FANS, AND I SHOULD BE REIMBURSED FOR THE COST OF REPAIRS. THIS CAR HAS VERY LOW MILEAGE, HAS NOT BEEN ABUSED, AND SHOULD NOT BE COSTING ME SO MUCH TO DRIVE. I WILL NEVER BUY ANOTHER FORD PRODUCT, DUE TO THESE PROBLEMS, AS WELL AS PROBLEMS I HAVE HAD WITH THE DEALERSHIP. THANK YOU FOR ANY ASSISTANCE IN THIS MATTER.*AK

MY 1993 TAURUS HAD A BLOWN HEAD GASKET AT 60000 MILES. FORD HAS RECALLED ALL 1994-1995 VEHICLES AND REPLACED FREE OF CHARGE. WHY HAVEN'T THE 93 MODELS ALSO BEEN RECALLED & REPLACED FREE OF CHARGE? THIS IS CLEARLY A MANUFACTERERS DEFECT AND ALL 3.8L ENGINES SHOULD BE FIXED. THEY ALSO GAVE THESE VEHICLES 7 YEAR, 100,000 MILE WARRANTY EXTENSIONS. ONCE AGAIN, WHY NOT THE 93 MODELS TOO?????? I'VE CHECKED ON VARIOUS MESSAGE BOARDS & THERE SEEMS TO BE SUBSTANIAL COMPLAINTS ABOUT THIS PROBLEM ON THE 93'S. I WOULD APPRECIATE ANY HELP YOU COULD GIVE ME WITH THIS PROBLEM. THANKS JOHN. *AK

PLEASE HELP ME ON THIS. NO SAFETY DEFECT MENTIONED. *AK

CAN YOU GIVE ME THE UPDATED INFORMATION FOR HEADGASKET REPLACEMENT AS NOTED ON THE TECHNICAL SERVICE BULLETIN #9811329, BULLETIN SEQUENCE NUBMER#749? WE HAVE A 1993 FORD TAURAS THAT WAS SERVICED FOR THIS PROBLEM IN 4/99. RECENTLY READ THAT FORD IS REIMBURSING CONSUMERS FOR THIS SERVICE. FORD MOTOR CO. IN MICHIGAN TELLS ME THAT WE ARE NOT ON THEIR "LIST" TO BE REIMBUSED??? DEALER TELLS ME ONLY '94 AND '95 MODELS APPLY BUT CAN NOT GIVE SPECIFICATIONS TO ME IN WRITING.....PLEASE HELP!*AK

HEADLIGHTS GO OFF AND ON INTERMITTENTLY. ALSO, WARNING SIGNAL SOUNDS EVEN WHEN NO LIGHTS ARE LEFT ON AND KEYS ARE OUT OF IGNITION, LEADING TO THE THOUGHT OF A SHORT IN THE IGNITION.

CONSUMER WAS TRAVELING ABOUT 60MPH ON HIGHWAY AND VEHICLE HAD HARD JERKING, AND SHUT OFF WITHOUT PRIOR WARNING. DEALERSHIP WAS AWARE OF PROBLEM. *AK

COOLANT WAS LEAKING CAUSING VEHICLE TO RUN ROUGH. HEATER BLOWS COLD AIR. DEALER DIAGNOSED VEHICLE BY DOING A BLOCK TES. EXPLAINATION NOT GIVEN .

BOTH REAR DOOR LATCHES FAILED SO DOORS CANNOT BE OPENED FROM OUTSIDE. *YD

HEAD GASKET BLEW. LOSS OF COMPRESSION. SMELL OF ANTIFREEZE IN EXHAUST- CREATED POLLUTION. MY MECHANIC SAYS THIS MODEL ENGINE HAS BEEN TARGET OF RECALLS FOR BAD HEAD GASKET, BUT DEALER SAYS THAT IS 94 AND 95, NOT 93 MODEL. DEALER CHARGED ME OVER $1100 TO FIX IT.*AK

I SUPPOSE I WAS MORE FORTUNATE THAN MANY IN THAT MY 1993 TAURUS WENT 92,550 MILES BEFORE THE HEAD GASKETS BLEW. THIS INCIDENT REQUIRED REPAIRS COSTING $1812.48. I AM OUTRAGED THAT FORD WILL NOT EXTEND ITS WARRANTY ON 1994 AND 1995 3.8L ENGINE HEAD GASKETS TO THE 1993 MODELS AS WELL, AND I APPRECIATE THE OPPORTUNITY TO MAKE MY VOICE HEARD. THANK YOU.*AK

IT SEEMS THAT MANY OTHER OWNERS OF 93 FORD TARUS HAVE HAD SIMILAR PROBLEMS...COMPANY IS ONLY COMPENSATING OWNERS OF 94 AND 95 MODELS...CAN ANYTHING BE DONE TO HELP THOSE OF US WHO HAVE THE SAME EXACT PROBLEM BUT NOT THE "RIGHT" YEAR?NO SAFETY DEFEC TLISTED. *AK

I HAVE REPLACED THE TRANSMISSION 3 TIMES IN THIS CAR. I AM 57 AND DO NOT "HOTROD" IT. *AK

I AM WRITING ABOUT THE PROBLEM THAT OCCURS WHILE WE ARE DRIVING OUR FORD TAURUS. THE PROBLEM IS THAT THE CAR TURNS OFF WITH NO WARNING, AND THE ENGINE COMPLETELY SHUTS OFF WHEN DRIVING AT 65-70 MPH IN HIGHWAY/EXPRESSWAY TRAFFIC AS WELL AS ON LOCAL STREETS AT 30 - 45 MPH. WE HAVE REPORTED THIS TO FORD AND TO FORD DEALERSHIP MECHANICS AND THEY HAVE SAID THEY ARE NOT AWARE OF ANY PROBLEMS SUCH AS THIS. WE HAVE TO OPEN THE HOOD AND LET THE ENGINE COMPARTMENT COOL DOWN. WHEN THE COMPARTMENT COOLS DOWN THEN THE CAR STARTS RIGHT UP AND RUNS UNTIL IT STOPS AGAIN. THIS IS A VERY DANGEROUS PROBLEM. THE CAR JUST STOPS IN FRONT OF OTHER CARS AND WE HAVE TO TRY TO PULL OFF ONTO THE SHOULDER OR GRASS OR WHATEVER IS THERE. SOMETHING NEEDS TO BE DONE ABOUT THIS ASAP. I NOTICE THAT OTHER TAURUS CARS HAVE THEIR HOODS OPEN WHEN THEY ARE DRIVING. I AM SURE THEY HAVE THE SAME PROBLEM. FORD NEEDS TO TAKE CARE OF THIS PROBLEM RIGHT AWAY. OUR CAR HAS BEEN DOING THIS SINCE ABOUT 50,000 TO 55,000 MILES(1999) AND MAYBE BEFORE THAT BECAUSE WE BOUGHT IT USED. THANK YOU FOR YOUR ASSISTANCE. PLEASE CONTACT WITH ANY NEWS OF REMEDYING THIS SITUATION.*AK

MY 1993 TAURUS STARTED STALLING OUT IN JUNE 2000 CAUSIN ME TO LOSE THE POWER STEERING AND BRAKES WHILE DRIVING. IT FIRST STARTED WITH THE "CHECK ENGINE LIGHT" COMING ON AND THEN CUTTING OFF ON THE HIGHWAY AT 55MPH. IT CUTS OFF WHILE DRIVING AT ANY SPEED/ANYTIME ON CITY STREETS, HIGHWAYS AND AT STOP SIGNS. IT WON'T START FOR ABOUT 10 MINUTES AFTER IT STALLS OUT. I HAVE EVEN CHANGED FUEL AT DIFFERENT GAS STATIONS THINKING IT WAS WATER OR TRASH IN THE LINE BUT THE PROBEM DIDN'T GO AWAY. I HAVE HAD FUEL PRESSURE TESSTS, THROTTLE BODY WORK, FUEL INJECTION SERVICE DONE SEVERAL TIMES AND THE PROBLEM STILL EXISTS. BEEN TO OTHER MECHANIC SHOPS AND DIAGNOSTIC TEST RUN AND WAS TOLD IT WAS THE FUEL PUMP OR THE TRANSMISSION OR NO PROBLEM FOUND. ONE OF THE MECHANCIS TOLD ME IT SOUNDED LIKE IT WAS THE IGNITION MODULE AND SUGGESTED I TAKE IT TO A DEALER. IN AUGUST 2001, I TOOK IT TO A DEALER AND HAD THE FUEL INJECTION SERVICE DONE, VALVES REPLACED AND WAS TOLD THAT WOULD CORRECT THE PROBLEM BUT IT DIDN'T. THE CAR WAS SLUGGISH WHEN I TOOK IT TO THE DEALER AND IT IS STILL SLUGGISH ESPECIALLY WHEN TRYING TO EXCELERATE. AUGUST 2001 HAD A NEW FUEL PUMP PUT ON AND 2 DAYS AFTER THAT THE CAR STALLED OUT AGAIN. SINCE THE NEW FUEL PUMP HAS BEEN IN PLACE THE CAR HAS STALLED 5 TIMES IN TRAFFIC. I AM VERY FRUSTRATED AT HAVING TO PAY FOR UNNECESSARY REPAIRS AND THE PROBLEM STILL EXISTS. THERE HAVE BEEN SOME CLOSE CALLS FOR A TERRIBLE ACCIDENT. PLEASE HAVE THIS VEHICLE RECALLED BEFORE A FATALITY OCCURS. I

WHEN DRIVING AND UPON ACCELERATION AND DECELERATION ENGINE WAS BOUNCING BACK AND FORTH DUE TO WEARING OUT THE MOTOR MOUNTS , AND CAUSING THE PROBLEM. CONSUMER HAS CONTACTED DEALER, DEALER STATED VEHICLE WAS OUT OF WARRANTY.*AK

THE RACK & PINION PULLS APART AND CAUSES THE FRONT END TO BECOME OUT OF ALIGNMENT AND ALSO CAUSES THE VEHICLE TO STEER TERRIBLY. THE RIGHT FRONT MOTOR MOUNT BURST BECAUSE IT IS HYDRAULIC THIS ALWAYS HAPPENS WHEN THE RACK AND PINION GOES OUT. THE TRANSMISSION ALSO HAS A DEFECT IN THE FOURTH GEAR RATIO AND SHOWS ON THE DIAGNOSTIC COMPUTER WHEN SERVICED.

WHILE CONSUMER IS DRIVING VEHICLE WILL START TO STUMBLE AND HESITATE FOR A FEW MINTUES. THEN, VEHICLE WILL SHUT OFF. THIS PROBLEM WILL ONLY HAPPEN IN THE SUMMER. CONTACTED DEALER, AND THE DEALER CANNOT FIND ANYTHING WRONG WITH VEHICLE. *AK

I HAVE TRIED TO CONTACT FORD BUT THEY ARE NOT ONLY NOT WILLING BUT ALSO DO NOT RETURN ANY CALLS TO US ON THIS MATTER. I WOULD REALLY LIKE TO HAVE SOME HELP IN HAVING FORD STAND FOR THEIR PRODUCTS. I ALSO AM AWARE OF A RECALL FOR THE SAME PROBLEMS ON THEIR 1994-1995 ENGINES; WILL WHAT ABOUT US THAT HAVE THE 1993 DOING THE SAME! PLEASE HELP! THANK YOU! *AK
