1994 Ford Crown Victoria Base review from North America
"My son's go-go bronco was built better!"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
-The speakers weren't working from day 1.
- Transmission needed replacement at about 9,000 miles.
- Locking system needed replacement at about 23,000 miles.
- The car continues to leak oil after about 2 years. All my efforts of stopping it have been of no avail.
- The engine began leaking fluid at about 34,000 miles.
- There is constant wear and tear on the cloth seats.
As I write this review, a big puddle of oil is forming underneath my car in the driveway.
General comments?
-This car is simply not worthy of your time. I will never forgive myself for not buying a Chevy Caprice instead, which was a great car. I wish they were still in production today. Currently, the crown victoria and grand marquis are the only affordable big V8 sedans left.
-Trust me: you don't want one of these. Avoid these trash heaps at all costs.
