1994 Ford Probe review from North America
"Great value for your $$$"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Paid $4,500 for the car in 2001, had 1 owner & 7,000 miles on it. Great deal!
Check engine light constantly on. Took it in for a checkup, 3 different mechanics and shops said that the rear exhaust O2 sensor was bad, the catch? There is no rear 02 exhaust sensor in the 94 Ford Probe so the codes are just messed up when the car was built.
Bent the front axle being dumb and drove into a ditch.
Battery replacement 2 times.
BIGGEST MOST AGGRAVATING REPAIR: black trim for the power windows/locks on the doors keeps cracking off & coming unglued. Bought 4 replacements so far.
Driver's side visor mirror gets used a LOT, cover over mirror that is held on by plastic pins broke twice. $120 to fix when I can find one!
General comments?
Love this car, my biggest complaint is the lack of leg room and the inability to carry 4 normal sized passengers despite the 4 supposed seats.
Hatch has never failed me.
Not real great for speedy highway driving on long trips, but awesome mileage.
