1989 Ford Tempo GL review from North America
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Transmission, Alternator (6x), water pump, PS pump, ignition module (2x), engine mounts, automatic door locks, automatic seat belt, radiator hose.
General comments?
Had a lot of problems - may have been from the mileage. Got it at 144K and had it until 160K with no repair history. Still convinced it had an undetected electrical problem that caused the alternator to fail so many times.
