2000 Ford Taurus suspension complaints
Page 16 of 16: complaints 431 to 443 of 443, newest first, as owners wrote them.
My complaint about the rear suspension of my vehicle is that the body frame suspends down over the rear tires causing rubbing with frame and rear tires. Also causes exhaust system to vibrate against flooring of vehicle.
The front end of the vehicle makes noise, dips, and appears to lock up at stop signs at the end of a down hill incline, the dealer has replaced the catalytic converter, shift cable, stabilizer end links, brake pedal deactivator switch, and dealer has cleaned valve body, but the problem still persists, dealer has also checked brakes several times, however states they are good.

When driving vehicle shakes and vibrates , when applying brakes steering wheel shakes.
While driving at highway speeds vehicle pulls to left, cause unknown. *ak the customer had been to the dealership 6 times for the vehicle veering to the left.
Stabilizer bar in the rear wheels broke and the rear wheels were ready to come off our car. If we had not pulled off the freeway exactly when we did, everyone in our automobile would most likely have been killed. The left rear wheel started coming off approximately two blocks after we exited the freeway. The automobile went out of control, and we had to have our brand new ford taurus towed to our car dealership. Our dealer refused to take our car back, after our car had three safety problems, and we are now in litigation.
I received fmvss no 110- does this result in this problem with my car. No safety defect listed in the summary.
Steering wheel will shimmy and vibrate when driving at highway speeds and on flat surface. It is normal characteristic , defect cannot be fixed. *ak dealer tried to fix the problem three times without success. The dealer replaced half shaft several times too.
When is loaded 600lbs, when turning or driving get a rattling sound from bottom rear end. This goes away when car is unloaded.
For the record: front end has a severe vibration that is coming from the engine cradle, espec. When light braking is taking affect or when ever your fooit is on the brake pedal. This is my seventh taurus and have never come accross this before I suspect that it could be strut valve that might be packing. The dealer will only turn the rotor or offer to balance the tires. This is not the problem so I apt to wait. The ssysmtom also feels like you have 80 psi in the front tires. I'm almost positie its strut rebons/preload packing. This will be a big concern to new owers and it is not a isolated case. This could lead to major suspension damame along with improper handling esp. Under high speed braking. The wheel is not able to follow the imperfections of the road surface therefore the car will handle in a violent manner. Ford should investigate this and recall these cars before accedents start occurring.
When driving betwwen 45 MPH-65 MPH steering will vibrate/ it will shake. Also, vibration can be felt inside the vehicle. Dealer claimed defect was due to tire problem. But, dealer has balanced tires 4 times, and replaced all 4 tires, and vibration still occurs. In addition, brake light has become stuck and will not turn off.
When vehicle is loaded with about 600 pounds and when turning/ driving vehicle makes noise at the bottom where the exhaust pipe is located. But, when driving on the highway it won't make noise. Apparently the exhaust pipe makes contact whenever traveling over bumps in the road. Owner concerned that damage could be done to the pipe. *ak
Camber/caster failed causing the front end to be out of alignment. Nlm
