1992 Mercury Tracer review from North America
"Wish the car lasted longer"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
The A/C failed around 50,000 miles.
The car ran exceptionally well, when it suddenly began stalling for no reason. Sometimes the car would start, other times no. It then began stalling in traffic while I was waiting at a light.
It would take several tries to get the car going again.
After taking the car to 5 garages/dealerships & when none of them fixed the problem, I gave up & traded it in.
General comments?
I would have liked to have kept the car longer, if it weren't for the 1 problem that no one could fix.
It was very roomy & a smooth ride.
