Brakes needed to be cleaned.
Replaced flange.
I have gone through snow mounds with this car and done a lot of great things with it. I have never had any serious problems with this car. I find it to be extremely reliable. The previous owner crashed the car a ton of times, and it still runs great!
The only problem I find with it, is the acceleration is lacking. Also, for hills it is best to put 89 rated gas into the car rather than the regular 87. Other then that, I enjoy the car!
It is also great for room. It has a lot of trunk space and front leg room, which is good for tall people. The back does not have that much space.
I love ford tempos, but I'm sure if you keep it in good shape it will be a good car for many years to come.
