"This car looks great on a flatbed"

What things have gone wrong with the car?

A lot of things went wrong in a year and a half with this car. Replace the wires and plugs in this car two times in a matter of 4 months. Replace the brakes two times. Alternator , water pump, fuel injectors have been replace. Overall in a year and a half this car put me about a thousand dollars in the hole for repairs.

General comments?

This car has great power to it when it runs. I'm impress with the v6 power it has. It this car was 1 thousand pounds lighter and was rear-wheel drive it would be a rocket. The only problem it breaks down every 3 months.

I didn't have these problems with my 96 monte carlo. However, at about 100,000 miles the front driver side wheel snaped of while I was going down my drivway. Then at about 110,000 miles the other front wheel did the same thing. Bad ball joints! Now at 142,000 miles I have just replaced the front ball joints again! It is now for sale. Too bad... it still runs great.

Have similar problems with my Monte. Service engine light all to frequent, each time it is read with the computer same code.

Multiple misfire, but each time it is different cylinders. Plugs and wires have been changed on numerous occasions. If I leave the car alone for a few days and drive like normal the light will turn off, but return all to quickly. Another problem is that the anti-lock light and airbag light come on and, the car runs sluggish and will not shift into overdrive, must turn off then back on normally fixes problem, but I am looking for a permanent fix if anyone can help please do. However when it runs it runs, most mustangs don't have much on it.

I have a 98 Monte Carlo and the Anti lock light comes and goes I've taken it to a couple of shops and they all give me different answers. one says it need a new anti lock braking system put in the other says there is nothing wrong. I have no clue what to do.
