so how many SHO owners actually signed up for this?
I haven't been separating out SHOs yet because none of the reported repairs are engine-specific. The powertrains seem rock solid, at least so far. (Could be a different story in 6-7 years.)
We currently have 76 owners signed up for the 2010 and 33 for the 2011 (yes, we especially need more of the latter, and 2012s when they arrive).

We've updated the results for the Taurus to include owner experiences through June 30, 2011.
Repair frequencies, in terms of repair trips per 100 cars per year:
2011: 24, better than average
2010: 82, worse than average, peeling tail light trim a common problem
We'll have further updates in November and February. With more participants, we could provide more precise information and fully cover all model years from 1995 on.

Hmmmmm....
We've updated the our reliability stats for the Taurus (on our redesigned site) to include owner experiences through September 30, 2011.
Repair frequencies, in terms of repair trips per 100 cars per year:
2011: 57, about average
2010: 99, worse than average, peeling tail light trim a common problem
We have two additional statistics, "Nada-odds" and "Lemon-odds," to indicate the percentage of cars with no repairs in the past year and those that required 3+ trips to the repair shop.
These stats for the years where we have enough data:
2010: 35, 3
Ford Taurus Lemon-odds and Nada-odds
Everyone who's been participating, thanks, I certainly appreciate it. We'll have further updates later this month and in May. With more participants, we could provide more precise information and fully cover all model years.

Michael..I registered my new 2013 last night, and deregistered my 2011 Mustang GT/CS, which I used for a trade. For those reluctant to register, I have been on Michael's site since 2007, and have my wife's cars also registered. It is a great source of information. It helped me the make decision on the SHO.

100k yesterday, LMS 4+ tune for past 50k, over 70 dragstrip runs. Replaced front p/s wheel bearing, brake rotors and pads, battery and a few climate door motors. Getting ready to replace original Michelins this season. Very good platform. Still avg 21.mpg city 25hwy.
Blend door motors have been emerging as a common problem area in the Taurus and the Flex.
