1994 Ford Probe GT review from North America
"The best piece of crap you can find. GRADE A CRAP!"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
The things that have gone wrong with the car are:
1. Had to replace the distributor
2. New Harmonic Balancer
3. Replaced Altenator
4. Constant Brake Trouble
5. Belts (I went through 3 or 4 in 3 months. No one could figure this out, problem just quit on its own 1 belt after fixing the harmonic balancer)
6. Paint lost its clear coat extremely quick, considering its kept in my garage.
7. The best one of all, I snapped my front axle backing out of a parking place going not even 2 MPH.
8. Suspension for a lack of better words, sucks. It is worthless.
I'm sure that there are more, but I can't think of any right now, email me if you want a more detailed list (llcue182@hotmail.com). The parts are extremely expensive and hard to find used parts. I made a HUGE mistake ever getting a Probe GT.
General comments?
This car has done nothing, but charged outrageous insurance rates, repair bills, and hassles.
I'm scared driving back and forth to school because I never know if I will make it home.
Keep in mind, ALL this stuff has happened and the car only has 80,000 miles on it.
