Please…I need your help. I took my 2006 Ford Taurus to the Ford dealership and they said nothing is wrong with it, even though they can hear and feel a clunk in reverse and in drive. The problem is when I leave every morning, I have to make a 3 point turn (U-turn). So I turn the steering wheel to turn around and can’t make it. So I stop when I’m near the curb and place the car in reverse then back up and then it clunks. As I back up enough to make the 3 point turn (U-turn) I place it in drive and drive away when it clunks again. The clunk feels like it’s coming from the front end of the car. What the heck is it???? PLEASE someone help me. My waranty is almost up.

BTW: The Ford dealership has checked the struts, motor mounts, and the transmission twice. They said, I just have to live with it.

What the heck? My mother-in-law (whose brother works in the parts department at a Ford dealership) said he told her the revamped 2008 Ford Taurus is better ranked than even Toyota/Honda. How did that happen?
Currently have a 2000 Chevrolet Malibu LS with nearly 151,000 miles — with original factory alternator. Routine maintenance is being done, and other than a couple of electronical hiccups very early on which were fixed under warranty (turn signal, false check engine light indicator), nothing has gone wrong with it yet. I commute 60 miles a day and use cruise control most of the time. But I am starting to do my research for another car.
