I bought a used (Avis) 1992 Taurus and drove it for 140,000 miles until the transmission died. I could never get the brakes to work right-- 200 miles after having the discs turned, the "pulsing" would come back into the brake pedal (warped discs?).

Swore I'd never buy another Ford product.

Too funny! Have had two Taurus'-both 94's. Brake problems with both-shimmy-no one can find anything wrong. My husband and my BIL both wrecked my wagon-I know better-don't tailgate anyone and don't hit the brakes hard. There is a gremlin in the windshield wiper control-sometimes they work and sometimes they don't. If you use the emergency flashers, the steering column makes a buzzing noise. Temp gauge bobs erratically if you don't keep the resevoir overfull. Current Taurus has close to 200,000. Going to drive it until it croaks.
