FORD SHO (TAURUS) 9999 ENGINE
highMY VEHICLE STARTED SMOKING FROM THE EXHAUST PROFUSELY WITHOUT WARNING AND NOT DUE TO LAKE OF VEHICLE MAINTENANCE. LONG STORY SHORT MY TAURUS ONLY HAD 112K MILES ON IT AND I HAD TO REPLACE THE ENGINE. UPON REMOVAL OF THE ENGINE BY FIRESTONE THEY DISCOVERED THAT THE TURBOCHARGER IMPELLER NUT WAS MISSING, AS WELL AS A FEW VALVE COVER GASKET STUDS. FORD HAS NOT OFFERED TO REIMBURSE EVEN A PORTION OF THE EXPENSE.
FORD SHO (TAURUS) 9999 STEERING
lowI WAS DRIVING HOME AND THE POWER STEERING LIGHT WENT ON AND 2 MINUTES LATER WHILE IN MOTION MY STEERING WHEEL LOCKED AND I COULDN'T STEER THE CAR. ALMOST KILLED MY SELF. MY CAR ONLY HAS 42,400 MILES ON IT.
FORD SHO (TAURUS) 9999 STEERING
mediumWHEN OUR TAURUS HEATS UP, THE POWER STEERING FAILS AND THE CAR IS ALMOST IMPOSSIBLE TO DRIVE AND STEER. THE STEERING IS EXTREMELY HARD TO TURN. IT HAS HAPPENED 5 TIMES IN ONE MONTH.
