On april 24, 2001 while driving on the garden state parkway at a speed of 60- MPH, a valve fell off the rack and pinon and I completely lost the ability to steer my vehicle. Fortunately, I was able to bring the car to a stop in some nearby bushes and my passenger and I escaped without serious injury. I am extremely angry and confused by this entire incident. My taurus has just over 58,000 miles on it and I have kept up with the maintenance of it since I purchased it in 1994.

Actual head gasket failure occured over 2 years prior to reported date was able to get by, but the oil light has been coming on when the engine gets to normal temperature and the car is idling. Ford put out cars with defective head gaskets and should not be allowed to limit the warranty. If it fails, they should pay to repair or replace the parts- I understand that about 750,000 of these failures have occured- ford should pay for selling defective products.

Filed Oct 15, 1999 · Steering · MA

The vehicle was hard to control due to a malfunction in the power steering pump. Dealer has seen vehicle.

Filed Sep 24, 1999 · Fuel system, Steering · OH

The fuel pump on these cars is woefully inadequate and is forced to work too hard. Thus, it burns out the motor very easily. The inner and outer tie rods are a joke - again, woefully inadequate. Although it did not happen to me, I've heard of several tie rod ends suffering catastrophic failures while the car was moving!! Please investigate these parts for the taurus.
