I have had two things go wrong with the car.  The car would not turn over one morning.  And the Distance to Empty does not read right on my message control board.

There's nothing like a ford.

This is our 1st Taurus andnere very happy with it. We bought it used but it's in near perfect condition. We have taken it on 300 mile ( one way ) trips and are satisfied with the gas mileage we got about 26 mpg that includes city & hiway miles. The car is very reliable even in Colorado winter driving conditions. Overall we are very pleased with it.
