Thanks for providing this forum. Don't know if anything can be done. I have a 2000 Ford Taurus SE. The car looks very nice but has problems. It started overheating. If it has antifreeze, it won't overheat but it will usually waste it in a matter of about a week or maybe a little more. I took it to a friend who replaced the thermostat. Still overheats. I took it to two mechanics and both say the gaskets need to be replaced. They're talking about a 700-1000 job. Worst of all, they say they cannot guarantee the job will fix the vehicle.

This was not the only time this happened too. Last year, I had a 1999 Ford Taurus with the same problem. What are the odds that I would have gotten a 2000 model and the same problem occurs. Anyway, I actually invested all of this money to fix it -- it came out to 1500 in total. They replaced various parts and lastly decided on the gaskets. By the end of it all, the car still overheated. I had to get rid of it. Help!

There is no public transportation where I live. People in our area literally depend on cars and vehicles to get them around. I live 40 minutes away from work. It is one big headache to not have a vehicle. I have basically wasted money on these Ford lemons. I'm just wondering if the Ford company can take some responsibility for their defective products.

The front driver side coil spring just broke on my 2002 taurus with about 73,000km (45360miles). Its obvious this is a common problem and along with the knock sensor, ball joints and stabilizer links I just changed, is really starting to make me change my mind about ford. I figured I would have to replace my tires before my springs.

its gonna cost me about 450 to change the front springs, and since ford doesn't want to man up to their mistakes it will cost them much more than that from me buying a chevy when I would have otherwise bought a fusion or something from ford

I've had to replace the two front springs along with the damaged tires on my 2002 Ford Taurus, This problem is on a recall list for this vehicle with the exception of the year 2002, I have read hundreds of similar complaints from 2002 Taurus oweners.

Just yesterday one of the rear coil springs broke, this is plain and simple MADNESS. I will never buy a FORD again. I've owned Fords since 1962, the fact that they will not issue a recall on this problem baffles me.
