1997 Ford Escort review from North America
"Thank god for the warranty"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Head gasket blown twice now, front rotors warped causing front brakes to go out constantly.
Electrical short in wiring harness causing A/C to malfunction.
General comments?
Thank god for the warranty, I'm getting rid of this thing as soon as I can.
