I got rid of it in '92 but I am still mad at it til this day so please forgive me.
Way too much to list here
I spent more money fixing it than I did when I paid for it @the dealer.
I bought it with 1.5 miles on it brand new. I bought a 25,000 mile warranty& literally the day after it hit 25,000 things started breaking left& right. I spent more money fixing it then I did when I paid for it @the dealer.
The biggest thing that broke were the mounts holding the drivetrain in place.
I was on my way to work one day& It started shaking& rattling then something big from the engine bay fell out& I could see it in my rearview mirror sparking on the pavement other cars swerving to avoid it. No less than 5 seconds later I I hear an extremely loud bang lose all power& steering I can hear a loud grinding noise and I can see sparks and all little parts flying out from underneath as the car slows down extremely fast. The whole drivetrain fell out of the car& left a nice 50 yard trail of destruction down the highway.
After I got out I realized the oil on the road caught fire& so did the hulk of engine.
When it was all said& done the firewall had been puched back 5 inches, $250,000 in damages to the asphault, ONLY 30,000 TOTAL MILES ON THE CAR& a lousy $500 from my insurance company.
The day after this happened I recieved an express letter from Ford telling me that the drivetrain mounts have been recalled.
I love to re-read your review. It is great! I laugh and would have loved to see your face as the motor drops out in the road- - man that's funny!
Yup - that would be funny!
Man that's one funny Review. The look on your face when the motor fell out must have been priceless. Did you end up paying for the damage to the Road? The Police must have been all over you like a Rash guy.
Looking back now it is really funny, but at the moment it happened, no. I didn't have to pay a dime out of pocket for the damages to the road thanks to my auto insurance company and the fine Ford Motor Company as my exact circumstances weren't the first of their kind to happen. Apparently myself and 37 others shared shared in the experience.
I know that Ford's quality is horrible (quality is job 1??? yeah right.) but this is just ridiculous although it is true as I have heard this happen to someone else I know although they didn't do road damage like your car did. And Ford wants to know why no one is buying their vehicles.
All car companys make lemons my 1989 Taurus wagon has been good to have 178000 on the original engine and transmission there great cars I own two my mom owns one Taurus rocks.
for good cheap transpertation thats confy
