"Junk"

What things have gone wrong with the car?

Transmission went bad.

Paint is fading.

Rubber around the seals are worn.

General comments?

I bought the car with 60k on it. The next day I was driving around town and the transmission seemed to be slipping. I took it back to the dealer and they said nothing was wrong. I took it back 3 more times during my 3 month warranty.

After the warranty was up I took it to a transmission shop to take a look at it. I was right the transmission was bad. I had them rebuild it for 2500. This was over a year ago and its still acting up. It starts up with a jerk into the first shift, then it slides into the rest. After it warms up, the first shift is OK and the second shift jerks. Then after like 45mins of driving the car acts like it has no power. So I don’t know what to do anymore. I guess ill have to sell it.

How stupid do you have to be to not know that Ford builds terrible autos?

The manuals on the other hand are a cheap, reliable and durable workhorse.

You deserve a terrible car for not doing your homework before purchasing a car!
