FORD TAURUS 1998 car safety problem was reported on Feb 10, 2000.FORD TAURUS 1998, manufactured by FORD MOTOR COMPANY had a problem with INTERIOR LIGHTING . first the interior light stayed on for hours. we were in the act of moving to la. i called the1-800 number in owner's manual. was told problem used to exist with mercury but not with taurus. are not the two cars the same, except for the namesassigned to them? at any rate,i was told to pull out bulb or get to panel for fuse. i pulled out bulb. then the turbo component in engine gave out after i arrived in la. aamco had to tow it away because, at best, it lurched forward or backward a few feet. aamco replaced turbo unit for 1400.00 they replaced bulb interior. within a week the old problem started again. the light would not go off, the doors would not automatically lock, and another problem stared--the symbol for a door not closed would stay on. no matter if i re-re-re- closed the doors. i took it back to aamco. they said to take it to a shop that specialized in this problem. well, i'd like to know if the dealer here is supposed to fix the problems at no cost. i'm guessing --not --because there is no recall. at any rate, i did not take the car in because i did/do not have the money. the problem with the light and symbol went away, but a new problem has developed. the antenna will not go down. thanks for reading this.*ak.Vehicle Identification Number (VIN):1FAFP53S4WA.

FORD TAURUS 1998 car safety problem was reported on Apr 25, 2002.FORD TAURUS 1998, manufactured by FORD MOTOR COMPANY had a problem with OTHER . transmission was not shifting smoothly, engine check light came on, ford dealership determined it was low transmission pressure error code. they removed the transmission, found it had failed and replaced it. the extended warranty covered most, not all, of the cost, but a transmission should not shell out after only 49,000 miles on a well-maintained car. i don't think the ford engineers have a good matchup of computer and transmission here, it seems to search for gears too often and hesitate during downshifts. i especially hate the way the computer kicks up the idle to simulate a free-wheel sprag that better automatics use. this causes the car to coast up to dangerous speeds on long downhill stretches - i have had the cruise set under 60, but the car hit 80 without any help from me - this is on hills that no other car i drive gain more than 5 miles-an-hour. *ak.Ford Taurus 1998 problem was reported in CAMP HILL, PA.

FORD TAURUS 1998 car safety problem was reported on Dec 24, 2002.FORD TAURUS 1998, manufactured by FORD MOTOR COMPANY had a problem with VISIBILITY:DEFROSTER/DEFOGGER SYSTEM:WINDSHIELD:HEATER CORE . heater abruptly stopped working while driving last winter. since then the cooling system has been flushed 6 times. each time it will work for a week and then it stopped again. the car was taken to a dealership where they replaced the blend door motor, charged $230 for it and it did nothing. it was given a "chemical flush" for $125 which did nothing. then the dealership informed me that it would need the heater core and blend door replaced. i was told by another dealership that this was a service bulletin in the first place and they should not have done the other work at all. apparently this was a known problem on the taurus from 96 on. i found a lot of people on the internet complaining about the exact same thing and was told that the nhtsa had advised ford in 96 or 97 that they should probably recall the cars for this problem which causes the defroster to not work and therefore makes it dangerous to drive at all in the winter. apparently ford did a " customer satisfaction" recall which expired in 99 but was never done on my car (i bought it used in 2000). i called ford to ask why this wasn't a recall since from what i have found it effects all tauruses from 96-99 at least. they told me that it wasn't a safety issue so it wouldn't be a recall. i submitted that it is a safety issue since you cannot see out of the windshield in the winter and since when ours stopped working we were on i-70 between st. louis and kansas city during a snowstorm and had to stop because we couldn't see. this is a $1300 repair that ford knew about for a long time, i think they should have to pay for it. *la.0 person(s) were injured. 0 person(s) died.Mileage was 55000 miles.

FORD TAURUS 1998 car safety problem was reported on Feb 19, 2004.FORD TAURUS 1998, manufactured by FORD MOTOR COMPANY had a problem with SUSPENSION:FRONT:SPRINGS:COIL SPRINGS . while trying to back out of our garage, the front left spring coil in our 1998 ford taurus broke and punctured the tire, causing a blow out. in researching the nhtsa website i learned that the 1993 ford taurus, 1998 ford contour, and 1998 mercury mystique were recalled for the same problem. i also found a complaint indicating the same problem in the 1998 and 1999 ford taurus. this appears to be a chronic problem, and i feel fortunate the incident did not occur, as in other reported cases, while traveling at highway speeds. the dealer and ford motor company were informed of his problem but have made no efforts to contact me regarding this safety issue. also, i am concerned because we had reported excessive vibration of steering wheel and wobbling of the car to the dealer in october and november of 2003 but were told that our brakes were out of round. this makes no sense to us, as the problem occurred not only when braking, but also at higher speeds and when accelerating. i believe that the problem was misdiagnosed and put our safety at risk. i would greatly appreciate an investigation into this problem, as i have concern for others driving the 1998 ford taurus. i would also appreciate some assurance that our car is now safe- i have read that in other situations a shield was installed to prevent a broken spring from making contact with the tire in the future. i have kept my repair receipts and am hoping that this will be treated as a recall and result in reimbursement for my expenses.*ak.0 person(s) were injured. 0 person(s) died.Mileage was 68000 miles.

FORD TAURUS 1998 car safety problem was reported on May 15, 2004.FORD TAURUS 1998, manufactured by FORD MOTOR COMPANY had a problem with SUSPENSION:FRONT:SPRINGS:COIL SPRINGS . purchased vehicle from government agency. drove vehicle 197 miles to my home. parked at back of driveway until could transfer title and purchase insurance. was mowing grass backed up car about three feet. heard a loud "thud/pop" with the sound or air escaping, pulled forward about five feet. tire was flat. i thought i had a "blow-out" thought it was odd because had a new set of tires with less than 400 miles on them. asked son to put the donut on so i could take the tire to goodyear for replacement. was the left front tire inside part of tire looked as if someone had taken a knife and cut the tire. upon returning from the tire dealer my son pointed out the broken coil spring on the left front (drivers) side. had car towed to a local garage for repair. the tow truck driver and the mechanic at the garage stated they had never seen a coil spring fracture. let alone one fracture in three place the way the coil spring did on this vehicle. paid to have both front springs shocks and struts replaced. heard about recall for taurus and sable 899,000 on radio station. so i stopped by local ford, hudson in madisonville ky, they could find no information about a recall involving my vin. was given ford customer relation 800 number. called and was essentially told that it was my problem that my vin was not involved in the recall. asked to speak to a supervisor, she returned my call somewhat timely, but reiterated that my vechicle was not involved in the recall, and it was my problem. in the mean time i visited your site and found four complaints with 1998 taurus's with almost identical coil spring fractures. it is my opinion that the recall needs to be expanded and/or the investigation needs to be reopened. the ford customer relation person said their engineers had not determined there is a problem. i think if you wait until ford takes action hell will be froze over. *ak.0 person(s) were injured. 0 person(s) died.Mileage was 118947 miles.

FORD TAURUS 1998 car safety problem was reported on May 14, 2004.FORD TAURUS 1998, manufactured by FORD MOTOR COMPANY had a problem with SUSPENSION:FRONT:SPRINGS:COIL SPRINGS . while driving home from the airport on may 14, 2004, my 1998 ford taurus experienced a broken front driver side coil spring. i was traveling approximately 40 mph at the time. the front end of the vehicle dropped down so that the front tire was rubbing on the body of the car (generating tire smoke). i immediately pulled over to the side of the road to survey the damage. it was evident that if i drove the car any farther even more damage would occur. unfortunately, this breakdown occurred in a local prison area where posted signs warn people not to pick up hitch hikers. this made it challenging for me to find someone who would let me use their phone to call a tow truck. i had the car towed to a local garage to get it back roadworthy. to make that happen, i had to purchase 2 new coil springs, 2 new front struts, a new strut mount, 2 new front sway bar links, and a front end alignment. it then took me a few days to feel comfortable driving on any road surface that had bumps on it. in july i became aware of the recall activity associated with 1999-2001 taurus and sable sedans for coil spring breakage. i contacted ford and was informed that this recall did not apply to 1998 models. it appears there may be an issue with 1998 vehicles also. hopefully, more people will utilize this site to document additional incidents to re-open an investigation. *ak.Mileage was 118998 miles.

FORD TAURUS 1998 car safety problem was reported on Nov 19, 2005.FORD TAURUS 1998, manufactured by FORD MOTOR COMPANY had a problem with SUSPENSION:FRONT:SPRINGS:COIL SPRINGS . while backing out of our garage, the right front tire blew. the tire was sliced all around on the inside and was in two pieces. this vehicle has 4 new tires and i thought the tire had to be a defect. a local garage came to my house to change it with a spare studded tire that was in good condition. i drove 2 feet when that tire blew. it was obvious that it wasn't the tires. i had to have my vehicle towed to a garage. the mechanic had to replace the front right suspension spring coil and strut mount. he also replaced the left one; it was about ready to snap. i researched this problem on the internet and noticed that ford motor company had recalls on the front suspension coil springs for the 1997 and 1999 vehicles, but not 1998. i contacted ford motor company for any recalls for this vehicle year, as they had recalls on the previous year and year after. there wasn't any concern at all and no recalls; now i am stuck with a bill of $489.71. luckily i wasn't on the highway going 65 mph or it could have been tragic. *jb.0 person(s) were injured. 0 person(s) died.Mileage was 155500 miles.
