I had one thing after another go bad on this truck.
I never had anything go bad on my fords I had in the past and I will stick to my fords.
Did you buy the car brand new or used. If you bought it brand new then the previous owner may not have performed the necessary maintenance to keep the truck running without "problem after problem". It would be helpful to know what problems occured so the seriousness of the issue can be determined (i.e. transmission fell out of engine vs. radio speaker went out)
