2012 Ford Taurus Questions & Answers

  • What happens if I "ride" my Ford's brakes? Riding the brakes or keeping your foot on the brake pedal (even lightly) can lead to transmission issues. Pay attention to how often you apply your brake and use engine braking when possible.
  • What can I tow in a Ford? Think twice before volunteering to tow a moving trailer, no matter how small it is. Defying your Taurus towing capacity can spell trouble for the transmission system. Double check your owner's manual to ensure your Taurus is equipped with a towing setup and can handle whatever you're thinking about towing.
  • How often does my Taurus transmission fluid need to be checked? Caring for your Ford Taurus’s transmission fluid is a great way to help it perform. Some technicians would say that between 30,000 and 60,000 miles is a good timeframe for having your Ford's transmission fluid checked and replaced, but that timeline can vary depending on how your vehicle is used and your manufacturer’s recommendations. Leaks or low transmission fluid are easy to spot and affordable to repair.
  • Can my Ford Taurus leak transmission fluid? Over time, transmission fluid can leak from your Ford Taurus, potentially causing transmission problems. A transmission fluid leak may be caused by a damaged transmission pan, faulty transmission cooler lines, worn-out seals, a cracked transmission housing, or an overfilled transmission.
