Problem overview

Some Ford Taurus owners report experiencing issues related to a cracked motor, which can lead to the vehicle not running properly due to various complications. These complications may include corrosion of wires in the engine, resulting in electrical problems that could prevent the vehicle from starting. Additionally, problems with the spark system, such as a faulty ignition module or a flooded engine, can cause the engine to crank without starting. Furthermore, improper alignment of the all-wheel-drive system may lead to premature wear and affect performance, highlighting the need for regular maintenance.
