1999 Ford Taurus Equipment Problems

“A minor slippage in the transmission became a complete transmission failure in less than a mile. No power to any gears, had to be towed. Only repair options presented were new/used transmission, ranging from 1500-3000 in price, even though the nature of the failure was known by the dealership and the other mechanics I spoke with. Otherwise, good car, but now it sits in my driveway. I would like the transmission repaired/replaced reasonably or for free given the complete and total, sudden failure.”

I have not had the transmission fixed due to funds. These items are a safety issue and could have cause a major accident.”

“I have a 1999 Ford Taurus station wagon. In 2003 the rleft rear seat belt would sometimes get stuck and not retract. I would have to feed the belt back into the mechanism in order for the belt to finally work. After doing this for some time, I took the car to my local Ford dealer in december, 2003 and paid to have the seat belt assembly replaced. In 2006, I again had the same problem with the left and right rear seat belts and the left front seat belt. I again took the car to the Ford dealer in december 2006 and had all three of the seat belt assemblies replaced. …”
