1991 Ford Tempo review from North America

"Found On Road Dead"

What things have gone wrong with the car?

Fuel pump went out the day I bought it.

Fuel filter went out four weeks later. The car has an automatic engine shut off switch when your filter is bad.

Automatic seat belts don't work.

Automatic door locks don't work.

Air conditioner doesn't work.

Rear passenger door only opens with a lot of jiggling of the lock.

Driver's door sticks.

Radiator is cracked exactly two months from purchase.

Clock and radio display is broken.

One of the rear seat belts is in a permanent locked position.

And now, I either blew a head gasket or need a new engine. The car is overheating and shutting off and the temperature gage says it is fine.

General comments?

This car seemed great at one point in time, but I'm beginning to get ill with it.

It's almost cheaper to buy another Tempo than to fix the one I've already have.

When I first got it, it had a nice pick up.

Now it doesn't seem like it wants to pick up at all. It rattles instead.
