Ford Taurus owners have reported 1 problem related to power assist brake hoses, lines/piping, and fittings (under the service brakes category). The most recently reported issues are listed below. Also please check out the statistics and reliability analysis of Ford Taurus based on all problems reported for the Taurus.
On Dec. 14, 2005, with 60,001 miles, the vehicles service (hydraulic) brake system failed. Fullerton Ford of somerville, NJ evaluated the vehicle, and found that a badly rusted steel brake fluid tube (which feeds fluid to the rear brakes) had ruptured. Given the cars low mileage, relatively young age and the fact that this type of failure could lead to a catastrophic accident, I feel it indicates substandard materials used in the cars manufacture and should require a recall and parts replacement at Ford's expense.
