1995 FORD TAURUS
This model year
What the record shows
The 1995 Ford Taurus is a midsize car, and the 19th model year of a nameplate NHTSA records from 1977 to 2019.
The EPA rated two configurations: engines from 3-litre six-cylinder to 3.8-litre six-cylinder, front-wheel drive only, a single transmission, Automatic 4-spd and running on regular gasoline.
Combined fuel economy ranges from 20 to 21 mpg depending on which one you have.
The federal record holds 1,205 owner complaints and 124 service bulletins for it.
Counts are reports, not rates. A complaint is something an owner chose to file; it is unverified and unadjusted for how many of these cars were sold, so the useful comparison is against other model years of the same car. Recalls and investigations carry more weight because a manufacturer or regulator acted on them.
Reading this report
Complaint counts are reports filed with NHTSA, not failure rates. A common model collects more of them than a rare one that breaks more often.
