2001 Ford Taurus Reviews

car

My name is Shanessa from Atlanta, Ga, and my friend Antoinette and I was purchasing a car from a company called auto truck and and finance in Kennesaw, Ga, it was a 2001 silver Ford Taurus from March 2008 until December 4th, 2008. On December 3rd, 2008 we ask the dealer if he could come and pick the car up, because we were having financial difficulties. The car payments were payed in full up until that paticular date. The payments were always on time and we had never been late on a payment. Well we were referred to them by co-workers whom we work with and they told us that if we voluntarily gave the car back and the company sold the car that we weren't suppose to be paying them for the car anymore if it was sold already. We Knew at the time that we took out a loan but please keep in mind that the other people that referred to this company said that they didn't have to payback after their car was sold so im thinking why should we do so, we also think that this was unfair and we want something done about the situation. We think that this is descrimination and we are being taken advantage of, if there is way of handling this case differently please help.

Defective springs and sway bars!

I took my Taurus in for repair because the front end was shaking. I discovered that there is a recall on defective springs which were broken and replaced for free, however, after a $200 repair on defective sway bars. I was then informed that I have the exact same problem on both rear tires. Defective springs and sway bars that need replaced for $750. Ford would not cover the repair even though the repairman said it was common among all ford products and that I better have them fixed before they snap in half and puncture my tires. This had already happened to my Windstar at 65 mph. which almost cost the lives of five people.

I e-mailed Ford who sent a form letter of NO knowledge of defective rear springs and or any recall needed. I then canvassed five local dealerships and/or repair shops. They ALL agreed or had similar comments concerning Ford products in general. Ford springs, what a surprise, front, rear or all? one mechanic asked. I wouldn't sell that car in good conscience, one dealership said. You may want to have them replaced before selling it so nobody is seriously hurt, another dealership said.

The comments from experienced mechanics and factual history of Ford Taurus was all around me in a small town but Ford Motor Company will not yield. I wonder how big the problem really is?
