1987 Ford Tempo from North America - Comments

14th Jun 1998, 00:00

What things have gone wrong with the car?

The paint job disintegrated. Ford offered no financial help in re-painting and refused to admit they used an inferior paint process.

Computer chip in fuel injector.

General comments?

I have since joined a class action lawsuit against Ford through the Center For Auto Safety.

Class action on an '87 Tempo? I hope you're joking. I can just imagine a jury awarding you a judgment against the evil Ford Motor Company, and forcing them to compensate you for your precious 500 dollar car!

Your lucky that's all that's wrong with your car. My 87 Ford Tempo blew up due to poor engineering.

The dimmer switch is a little yellow button located in the glove box.
