Ford Taurus Common Problems & Maintenance Tips

Just like any other steel-made objects, Ford Taurus also begins to show problems after it was driven for a long while. Hoping these two common problems could help you a lot on maintaining your Taurus:
First, suspension system went wrong. Experienced drivers said that the Taurus would start to tilt to one side and bounce while driving as well as bottom out. At the meanwhile, the tire wear would be uneven and suspension became sagging and bouncy. Once similar situations happen, you are suggested to check the coil springs and air suspension carefully.
Second, engine failure. In general, this issue would have a bad impact on engine performance. The Taurus would experience slow acceleration, engine misfiring, poor fuel economy, rough running and difficulty starting. While drivers could find low engine oil, burnt oil odor, dirty valve cover as well as illuminated Check Engine Light. These symptoms actually are indicating the fuel injector, valve cover gasket and spark plug need replacements.
Headlight is a small auto part compared to the whole car, but it plays an important role in the operation. Drivers always use it for looking clearly forward road conditions as well as warning other drivers and pedestrians. However, it is easy to go bad, and you should replace the headlight regularly for your driving safety.
