Ford Taurus 2012 Overview
Ford went back to the drawing board to completely redesign the Ford Five Hundred, and with inspiration from their European division, they came up with an all-new Taurus for 2010. The new Taurus, while still based on the Five Hundred platform, actually has reduced interior volume due to its stylised exterior. The full-size sedan is powered by a carryover 3.5-litre V6 with some fuel-economy enhancements, while being mated to a 6-speed automatic and front-wheel-drive, with all-wheel-drive optional. The Taurus SHO model, with the 3.5-litre turbocharged "EcoBoost" V6 engine and all-wheel-drive was offered from late 2011. Standard features include power windows, electric mirrors, CD/MP3 stereo, cloth upholstery, 18-inch wheels, and more. Features on higher trim levels include 19-inch alloy wheels, leather upholstery, power seats, SYNC voice-controlled stereo with Bluetooth phone, parking sensors, sunroof, capless fuel filler, keyless entry with starter button, cruise control, dual-zone automatic a/c, rain-sensing wipers and more. Standard safety features include front and side-curtain airbags, stability control and ABS with EBD, while cross-traffic monitoring, adaptive cruise control and blind-spot monitoring are optional.

Known Problems | Early models had vague computer issues leading to no-start condition, largely solved by reprogramming.

Tail-light chrome trim peels with time. Few reports of worn front wheel bearings, faulty door locks, speedometer faults, sunroof automatically opening, entire gauge cluster showing fake warnings, a/c internal "doors" failing and struggling power-window motors.
