Front Suspension problems of the 1999 Ford Taurus

Five problems related to front suspension have been reported for the 1999 Ford Taurus. The most recently reported issues are listed below.

1 Front Suspension problem

Failure Date: 06/28/2006

I have a 1996 Ford Taurus and a 1999 Ford Taurus. I have had three incidents (2 with the 1996 model and one with the 1999 model) where the right front tires have blown due to low inflation pressure. I have rotated tires, changed brands of tires, replaced valve stems, etc. Yet the problem remains; the right front tires always lose pressure at a significantly more rapid rate than any of the other three tires. There must be some issue with the suspension, or something. These tires have not had any abnormal stress or damage due to hitting curbs or anything similar to that.

2 Front Suspension problem

Failure Date: 06/08/2001

While driving about any mph and making a turn could hear a popping noise coming from front of vehicle where had taken vehicle to dealer, and they could not find out what was causing the problem.

3 Front Suspension problem

Failure Date: 05/06/1999

I just purchases a new 1999 4-door Ford Taurus se on 5/3/99. I sent the car back to be repaired to the manufacturer 2 times in the last month to have the problem corrected. The problem still exists. I am meeting with the general manager stephen dinger sometime this week to have him come along for a test drive to witness first hand the shaking of the front end. We have been told that it is a tire problem, and that the technicians have repaired the problem, but the front end and steering wheel still shakes quite significantly over 60mph. Can you help me with any advise on how to go about getting out of the lease or having the manugfacturer somehow give us a new vehicle seeing that this problem does not appear to be just a tire balance problem. Thank you.
