★ Top Answer
Several common issues noted on the 2008 Ford Taurus X include problems related to its body, paint, transmission, engine, AC, and steering. Regarding paint problems, owners have reported issues such as blisters, peeling, and bubbling, leading to costly paint repair work for a vehicle of that age. The transmission may exhibit difficulties in shifting as commanded, grinding noises, and triggering the wrench light to illuminate. Engine-related problems can include sudden loss of acceleration, shorted coils, engine displacement on top of the axle, and unexpected acceleration when the driver wants the vehicle to stop. Some of these issues have been subject to recalls, so it is advisable to contact your local dealership for necessary repairs.

I own two TaurusX vehicles from 2008 – one with over 200,000 miles and the other with 85,000 miles. The high-mileage one has a leaking driver's side door seal, but apart from that, both are trouble-free.

I am experiencing issues with misfiring.

There have been numerous reports of transmission issues causing the car to go into safe mode, with mine being one of them. I have tried all the recommendations with no success, and the only solution is to disconnect the battery for a reset. Due to the limited number of affected vehicles, there haven't been enough complaints to warrant a recall. Please excuse the use of all caps, as I am short on time to retype.

When the dials are not working properly, moving up and down sporadically, then suddenly getting stuck, I usually pull over to check what's wrong. However, now I hear a strange ticking noise when driving. I'm not sure if I need an oil change or something else. I'm just trying to figure out what I should do next.
