Four problems related to brake abs warning light have been reported for the 1998 Ford Taurus. The most recently reported issues are listed below.
: the contact stated the abs warning light illuminated intermittently, but there were no problems with the brakes. The vehicle was taken to an independent repair shop where the abs sensor was replaced, but this did not remedy the problem. The manufacturer and dealer have not been alerted.
I have a 98 Ford Taurus and the abs light came on the brakes were not working properly. They would kick back and I could hear a popping sound. So I took it to a care place and the hooked it to the computer it said a bad passenger rear sensor. $200 later the problem wasn't fixed. Now they say it is the main modular sensor OH that's $700. Well the bad thing is I know of 2 other people that have the same problem. This car is suppose to be a safe vehicle. But I'm not impressed and would never buy one again. I think with this many complaints there should be a recall.
The abs light comes on intermittently. Took it to the service station today and they told me the abs computer went. At only 67000 miles? what gives? $600. 00 repair. Also door ajar light stays on all the time. Had to disconnect the bulb in the interior lights so the battery doesn't run down. Car squeaks when making turns, a/c rattles. Not happy with this car at all.
Vehicle accelerates to 3 rpms when in park. Abs light stays on since rack and pinion was replaced 8-9 months ago.
