I think the early Taurus/Sable models had a design-problem with regard to heat-dissipation. At the same time you had your "problem," I rented a Taurus and was returning it to Hertz O'Hare. I cut it too close in terms of time, unfortunately, and in my desire to avoid being charged for another full day, I ran it flat-out on the Northwest Tollway for maybe 15-20 minutes to get to the airport. (Let's just say somewhere in the 95mph range).

As I was leaving the Hertz lot (in my friend's car), I glanced over and saw a Hertz employee running toward my recently-returned rental with a fire extinguisher.

LOL. I bet Hertz had that car right back out on the road a few hours later. Something to think about the next time someone suggests buying a used car from a rental company.
