1989 Ford Tempo GL review from North America
"Junk do not waste your money"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Brakes every 4 months
heating problem when running for a while will stall out until it cools off.
Front suspension replaced all nad steering is loose and sloppy
bad gas mileage.
General comments?
Will never own another Ford peice of crap again they are made poorly and will not last, ill go to a foreign maker before I go back to a North American made rolling garbage can.
