The worst situation is the vehicle also had a problem in starting even inability to start. Gradually, engine performance dropped considerably, then slow acceleration, loss of power while acceleration and bad gas mileage become ordinary.

Second, suspension failure. A well-functioning suspension system is the guarantee of a comfortable and steady driving experience. But for Ford Taurus passengers, it is not a quite pleasant experience. Some Ford Taurus drivers said that at first, the clunking noises from underneath the vehicle annoyed them and distracted their attention. Then uneven tire wear caused vehicle tilt to one side, plus the excessive vibration and poor handling because of a loose steering wheel, all these made an extremely dangerous driving.
