1991 Ford Taurus Suspension Problems

I CAN'T POSSIBLY REMEMBER THE DATES THESE THINGS HAPPENED. I PUT A NEW (USED) TRANSMISSION AND THIS ONE IS SLIPPING. I PUT MORE BRAKE PADS AND CALIPERS THAN YOU WOULD USE IN A LIFE TIME. THE SPRINGS ARE WEAK IN THE BACK, BUT TO EXSPENSIVE TO CHANGE. I PUT A NEW FUEL PUMP AND GAS TANK. I'VE PUT A NEW EGR VALVE, OXYGEN SENSOR, THROTTLE SENSOR, AIR TEMP SENSOR. I PUT A BLINKER SWITCH AND NEW STRUTS BECAUSE MINE BROKE. 3 OUT OF 4 OF MY DOORS WILL NOT OPEN BECAUSE OF THE HANDLES. THESE ARE JUST A FEW OF THE THINGS I WROTE DOWN OR CAN REMEMBER. NOW IT WILL NOT START UNLESS I PUMP THE GAS(IT'S FUEL INJECTED) AND KEEP TURNING IT OVER AND OVER. THEN I'M NOT SURE IF IT WILL START AGAIN WHEN I SHUT IT OFF. THE FUEL PUMP IS WORKING I THINK, I CAN HEAR IT. I BOUGHT THE CAR USED AND THE PERSON PUT A 1989 MOTOR INTO A 1991 BODY. THESE THINGS STILL WENT WRONG WITH THE CAR EITHER WAY. I DID NOT CHECK ANY BELOW BECAUSE I'M NOT SURE WHAT TO CHECK.

REAR SHOCK TOWER HOUSING ASSEMBLY IS RUSTED ON SEAM, WHERE THE TOP PLATE IS MOUNTED TO THE HOUSING. OWNER NOTICED THIS WHEN LOOKING IN THE TRUNK OF VEHICLE. PROBLEM WAS REPORTED TO FORD MOTOR CO. BECAUSE THE RUST HAD NOT DAMAGED THE SPOT WELDS, THE HOUSING ASSEMBLY WAS STILL STRUCTURALLY SOUND. DEALER TOLD OWNER TO SAND OUT THE RUST AND SPRAY WITH RUST TREATMENT. *AK *ML

FRONT CARRIAGE SUPPORT BUSHING FAILED, CAUSING THE STEERING ERRATIC AND THE VEHICLE HARD TO CONTROL. YH

NHTSA RECALL 98V323/ MANUFACTURER'S RECALL 98S36. REAR SUBFRAME CORROSION. WHEN DRIVING THERE WAS A BANGING, AND THE FRONT END SHOOK. FRONT SUBFRAME CORROSION IS EXACTLY LIKE THE REAR PROBLEM. DEALER CONTACTED AND COULD REMEDY THE PROBLEM. THE PROBLEM STILL EXISTS. PROVIDE FURTHER INFORMATION. *AK

WHILE DRIVING AT 25 MPH AND WITHOUT NO PRIOR WARNING, SUBFRAME FELL OFF FROM UNDER THE VEHICLE, AND THE STEERING BECAME VERY DIFFICULT WHICH AFFECTED THE CONTROL OF THE VEHICLE. ALSO, THERE WAS SOME TYPE OF GRINDING NOISE AND VIBRATION WITHIN THE STEERING. *AK

WHEN COMING TO A STOP THERE IS A BUMPING NOISE COMING FROM THE MIDDLE OF THE VEHICLE, AND THE CONSUMER CAN'T DETERMINE THE PROBLEM. *AK

WHEN STEPPING DOWN ON GAS PEDAL THE MOTOR RAISES UP IN FRONT AND ROLLS BACKWARDS. MOTOR MOUNTS ARE LIQUID FILLED AND HAVE A DEFECT. DEALER CONTACTED, REPLACED NEW BOLT. REPAIRS WOULD BE AT OWNER'S EXPENSE DUE TO NO WARRANTY. *AK.ET.

WHEN THE VEHICLE IS GOING AT SPEEDS OF 60-70 MPH THE VEHICLE SHAKES AND THE ODOMETER DROPS, CAUSING THE DRIVER TO LOSE CONTROL. DEALER NOTIFIED. *AK

MY COMPRESSER WENT OUT WITHIN A FEW MONTHES OF ME BUYING THE CAR. WHEEL BEARINGS ARE OUT, AND AIRBAG LIGHT WON'T QUIT BLINKING THE DEALER SAID IT WOULD COST $400 TO FIND OUT WHY.ALSO, REAR DEFROSTER NEVER WORKED I HAVE REPLACED THE SHOCKS/STRUTS/ BRAKE ROTORS AND PADS. *AK

COIL SPRING BROKE IN HALF, RECALL ON OTHER MODEL YEARS HOWEVER VEHICLE DENIED DUE TO MODEL YEAR.

STABILIZER FAILURE. 8AK

REAR AXLE FAILED. *SD

NO SUMMARY PROVIDED BY CONSUMER

WHILE DRIVING, VEHICLE WOULD PULL AND THE STEEING WHEEL WOULD VIBRATE AND ONCE THE STEERING WHEEL WOULD VIBRATE, THE VEHICLE WOULD NOT GO ANY FASTER THAN 55-65 MPH, CONSUMER PURCHASED NEW TIRES, BUT THERE STILL IS A SLIGHT PULL IN THE VEHICLE.*JB

THE FRONT STRUT WAS REPAIRED AND THE CV JOINTS WERE REPLACED ON TWO OCCASIONS . PLEASE DESCRIBE . *AK
