ford is complete junk end of discussion. my dad got a brand new from the dealership 2008 ford taurus (the new looking taruses) for his company car and we have had it for maybe 2 years. so far the power steering has gone out (when 90% of the driving that is done with it is highway!!![:@]) the tranny messed up big time and the dealership is charging my dads company 1600 for it to be fixed. also the seals on the doors are falling out. we cant wait to get rid of this now. we were gonna buy it this summer when its time with the comopany is up but not anymore. im really sold now that ford sucks big time
