2008 Ford Taurus X 4dr Wagon
263-horsepower 3.5L V6 6-speed automatic FWD

| 34000 mi | There was some rust that my mechanic found around the body plugs under the second row of seats. I made the Ford dealer strip the area around the plugs down the bare metal and then put on new paint. |

| 40000 mi | Corrosion bubbling up along leading edge of hood. Dropped by dealer, whose body shop manager knew what I was going to ask as soon as I said "Taurus X." From steel inserts inside aluminum hood. He said they'd repaint the hood at cost, |
| 74700 mi US $100 |
Water covering floor on right side. From sunroof? Dealer wanted five hours of labor just to diagnose. |
| 43000 mi US $402 |
Referred by a second Ford dealer to a trim shop, which charged far less than the dealer would have. Leak was in the cowl area on the passenger side. Half the cost was replacing carpet padding along the entire passenger side. |
| 79000 mi US $300 |
As part of collision repair, body shop fixed corroded leading edge of the hood. The aluminum hoods commonly corrode on a number of Ford models. |

Rust on the subframes and pinch welds along the rockers. Cleaned up and coated with Chassis Saver. About $30 in materials. |

Replaces antenna mast after car wash took it off. Very poor place to mount an antenna especially one that is as long as the one on the T/X, sticks up way too high but works well. A stubbier antenna would be much better. |
