ENGINE MOUNTS NEEDED REPLACED IN DECEMBER OF 1998. WE KNOW OF OTHER TAURUS OWNERS IN OUR AREA THAT HAVE HAD THE SAME PROBLEM. IN MARCH OF 1999 WE FOUND OUT THAT THESE ARE BEING RECALLED MOSTLY ON THE EAST COAST. WE FEEL THAT WE SHOULD BE REIMBURSED THE $400.00 AS WELL, SINCE THE PROBLEM IS OBVIOUSLY HAPPENING ON THE WEST COAST TOO.

THE VEHICLE HAS OVERHEATED SINCE CONSUMER BOUGHT VEHICLE NEW. ALSO, VEHICLE JUMPS FORWARD WHILE DRIVING WHICH MAY CAUSE AN ACCIDENT. BEEN TO DEALER SEVERAL TIMES, BUT CANNOT DETERMINE THE PROBLEM. *AK *ML
