1998 Ford F150 XL review from North America
"Fix or repair daily"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
I bought this truck in Dec 03 and have nothing but problems.
Check Engine light came on at 75,000 miles, I had to change plugs and wires, not covered under the 3,000 miles or 3 month warranty where I bought it from.
Check engine light on again at 78,000 miles, 2 fuel injectors bad. An $800.00 repair job.
At 93,000 miles slave cylinder leaking and replaced clutch, pressure plate and throwout bearing another costly repair.
Check engine light on again and I'm afraid to find out what it is this time!
General comments?
Not sure if I want another Ford product again.
