FORD TAURUS SHO 1996 car safety problem was reported on May 05, 2002.FORD TAURUS SHO 1996, manufactured by FORD MOTOR COMPANY had a problem with ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING:ENGINE:GASOLINE . my 1996 ford taurus sho started making a chatter noise on the top end of engine. i took it to a ford dealer in albany, ny. the dealer was orange motors. they charged me 100.00 to diagnos the problem. they said i needed a new engine and the cost was going to be $12,000.00. since i was in shock with the price, i looked into the problem myself and found a website v8sho.com. they described my exact failrure. this is a common failure among all 1996,97,98,and 99 sho's. the engine is built by yamaha for ford. the problem is the design of the cam shaft. the timing gear sprocket is pressed onto the cam and can come loose at any time. if you hear the audible chatter from the engine, you must stop driving immediately. if you continue to drive the gear will slip on the cam and the engine will self destruct bending valves and destroying the engine. it doesn't matter how an individual maintains the car. this can happen to anyone at anytime. ford knows of the problem. they issued special service bulliten 15879 to check for the problem. in my case the ford dealer where i took the sho didn't even tell me not to drive the car any further. when this is caught in the beginning stages you can weld the sprokets to the cam. after taking my car apart myself, i found both front cams to have a problem. one moves left and right on the sproket and the other is loose on the cam.(ready to spin completely loose and kill the engine. the cost os this safety issue should not be the consumer's responsibility. this is a latent defect by the manufacturer.*ak.0 person(s) were injured. 0 person(s) died.Vehicle Identification Number (VIN):1FALP54N4TA.

FORD TAURUS SHO 1996 car safety problem was reported on Oct 24, 2010.FORD TAURUS SHO 1996, manufactured by FORD MOTOR COMPANY had a problem with ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING . 96 taurus sho v8 3.4l camshaft failure. i have kept my car in perfect shape with tune up and all. it is in mint condition and has no rust. i have nice exhaust system put on by a mechanic and also a cold air intake put on and a new trans in july now with only 3000 miles on it.. i heard ticking from under the hood out of no where. i don't beat on my car and have read that it doesn't matter either way if you beat on it or not the cam failure can still happen. so i heard the ticking so i drove it home from work to park it because i figured it was the cams. so i was going to get it welded the next day and 5 min from my house the car shut off and so i pulled the valve covers and sure enough it was the back cam near the fire wall that had slipped. i don't think its right that anyone should have to deal with this especially when the car is well maintained and in such great condition. also don't think its right that us consumers should have to pay for this because ford didn't want to do anything about it to fix the problem now im out of a car. i want action done about this. *tr.Mileage was 107000 miles.
