I have a 99 Taurus that's just kicking my fucking ass right now.
Yeah....computers+cars=$$$$$$$
Thats why I love my '88.
Actually, everything that's wrong with this car has nothing to do with the computer system
My fuel pump just went, or it's an issue in the wiring to it. So right now it won't start. This is a common problem with the Taurus that was prevalent for YEARS and they offered no recall.
But then, here's all the other issues:
-Heater core clogged, so no heat (this is also a common problem with no recall).
-Sway bar links are bad.
-Wipers will just turn on out of nowhere for a pass or two, every once in a while.
-Car doesn't recognize sometimes that the door is closed and the ajar light will stay on. This also prevents the locks from automatically locking. Then out of nowhere in mid drive, it recognizes and then my locks will engage.
-It seems to be losing coolant very slowly, and I can't figure out where from. I never see any wet spots in the engine compartment or on the ground. And I know for a fact that it's not getting into the combustion chambers.
The wiper and door problem are just a wiring issue that would be a tough fix because I'd have to rip open shit and get into wiring harnesses and then actually find the right wires. I'll just live with those minor inconveniences.
I'm convinced it was the worst car ever built, and yet somehow it's been Ford's best selling car.
