Taurus V6

  • Automatic transmission
  • 75,000 miles

The passenger interior door panel is peeling off. I tried to glue it myself, but it is not holding too welol. Also, the oil is leaking on the engine which sometimes causes smoke to come from under the hood.

Taurus SEL

  • Automatic transmission
  • 65,000 miles

I just bought this car CASH ! A week after I get in the car I look back and noticed the back passenger side leather is hanging ? I took it back to the dealer ( Mullinax ) they said they could not fix this problem I had to go to someone that works with upholstery.

That would have cost about $100.00 so I bought some Gel super glue and did it myself . So much for buying a car at a well known dealer .

Taurus SEL V6

  • Automatic transmission

I have never seen this happen in a car before! The car is only 6 years old. I took it to Maaco and the person told me that the vinyl has separated from the foam backing. The vinyl is peeling off the rear panels on the right and left sides. Maaco told me that they would charge $100 to glue it back. They said they've seen that happen in Ford cars before. I have not taken it to Ford because they don't have Saturday hours and I need my car during the week.
