The Ford Taurus brake system is a hydraulic system that uses brake fluid to transfer force from the brake pedal to the wheels, causing them to slow down or stop. It typically includes front and rear disc brakes, a brake master cylinder and fluid reservoir, a vacuum-assisted power brake booster, and a four-wheel Anti-lock Braking System (ABS).

Converts the mechanical force from the brake pedal into hydraulic pressure, which is then sent through brake lines.
Tubes that carry the pressurized brake fluid to the brake calipers.
Consist of brake calipers, pistons, and brake pads. When brake fluid is pumped into the calipers, the pistons push the brake pads against the brake rotors, creating friction to slow the vehicle.
Uses engine vacuum to amplify the force applied to the brake pedal, making braking easier.
Prevents the wheels from locking up during braking, allowing the driver to maintain steering control, especially on slippery surfaces.
A cable-actuated system that mechanically engages the rear brakes, used to hold the vehicle stationary when parked.
Modern Taurus models may include features like Pre-Collision Assist and Automatic Emergency Braking (AEB) which can help prevent or mitigate accidents by automatically applying the brakes.
Brake pads are often made of ceramic or semi-metallic materials, with ceramic pads generally offering longer life and reduced noise and dust.
Rotors can be solid or vented, and may have drilled or slotted designs for improved cooling and performance.
Brake pads typically need replacement every 30,000 to 70,000 miles, depending on driving habits, and rotors may need resurfacing or replacement as well.
