All problems with our 1994 taurus have existed since the purchase date, ford has denied several of the recalls and service bulletins listed at the federal safety agency. The car continues to constantly overheat and run hot, we still can smell gas through vents, door handle problems, gas consumption problem, and several others still exist without acknowledgement from ford (even when confronted with exact numbers and dates of recalls and bulletins), all problems still exist without help from ford. Fords customer concern, customer service and quality in general is severely lacking. We are tired of runarounds, tired of denials related to these problems, tired of ford denying that we have made previous complaints, tired of ford refusing to provide paper work the few times they had the vehichle. Tired of this scary lemon we own, tired of ford in general.
