1991 Ford Tempo review from North America
"She luvs her car, but it needs some help"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
The car keeps stalling and at times it will turn off at the lights, stop signs, and sometimes while driving.
The inside of the trunk is rotting.
The passenger side window no longer goes down.
The stereo has a "short" in it.
The car will turn off when the heat is on.
The heat works when it feels like it.
General comments?
I brought this car for my grandma.
Almost 3 yrs ago. She has bad knees.
And this car was what I was able to.
Afford. She takes very good care of.
Her Betsy. She's been taking it to the.
Shop often for the past 2 yrs. Every.
Body keeps telling her not to put any.
More money into the car. One says the.
Stalling is the tranny, another says.
Its the alternator, the other says it's.
The wiring, the Ford dealer say that.
There's no code showing so they can't.
Help. I've been reading the reviews.
Where a lot of people are happy with.
Their car. My grandma don't want to.
Get rid of it, but every other month
it's the same problem (the car stalls and.
Turn off). I like this car for her, but.
It's killing our pockets trying to get.
It fixed. If anyone have any advised.
It will be greatly appreciated.
