1987 Ford Tempo GLX review from North America
"An affordable car"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
The oxygen sensor, Radiator, and various electrical components have failed on my car within the 10,000 k's that I have owned the car.
General comments?
After I bought this car, I lost all faith in it. Everything I listed above failed all at once and nearly caused an accident. However, after I repaired the car everything seems to be running fine, but I still lost trust in the car. I find myself second guessing the car on every turn and stop.
I won't buy another car from Ford because I've had nothing but terrible service. After a while of frustration with the dealership I decided to find another shop that would help with my problems. Saturn was by far the best dealership; they gave outstanding service to my car.
