| I have service records documenting all failures and i see from numerous websites that other taurus customers are furious at many problems of this car. advertising by ford seems almost fraudulent and based on numerous complaints reported to them i believe this constitutes deliberate fraud. those of us who have integrity haven't passed our lemon cars on to other poor ignorant souls but the entire ownership period of this ford taurus has caused me to suffer severe depression and stress and has caused injury on at least two occasions. i'm at the point of just donating the car to charity for parts but i intend to become vociferously involved in lawsuit against ford. no wonder the taurus is no longer the best selling car in america. but i think it's your responsibility to get ford for this. their behavior is unacceptable. no safety defect mentioned. *ak | |||

| This is a very dangerous problem. the headlight lens in this year vehicle frosts inside the lens housing and blocks illumination of the road ahead. people are driving this model without replacing them due to the unacceptable high price placed on them due to the lack of availability and the fact that they must be replaced. people, because of the price, are not replacing them and this makes the car an accident looking for a place to happen. | |||
