Another Ford Horror Story!!!! I bought a 1993 Ford Taurus GL in 2000. Head-Gaskets blew up at 60,000 miles. There was white smoke comming out of the tailpipe, and out of the front of the engine. I drove it home in this condition. My neighbor got scarred and immediately called for the police and a fire truck (she thought it was on fire) Head Gaskets replaced-$1700 The anti-freeze leaking from the blown head gaskets caused some major engine problems and completely destroyed the "shortblock" I had to get a whole new 3.8L engine!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I have had to replace the transmission 3 TIMES, at 55,000 miles, 79,000, and 91,000 Now for a comparison: My dad has a 1990 Lexus LS400 with 223,000 miles on it. RUNS LIKE BRAND NEW. NO PROBLEMS AT ALL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! After being fed up with Ford. In 2001 My dad bought my sister a 1995 Subaru Legacy with 170,000 miles on it. THIS CAR RUNS LIKE A CHARM. It now has 207,000 miles on it and has had NO PROBLEMS. BOTTOM...
