Fords are crap, Really.
I once owned a 93 taurus, transmission problems were endless not to mention the engine blowing out quicker then those candles i bought at bath and body.
I now own, 2003 taurus ses, Replaced transmission after 10,000 miles of owning it, never missed a check up, tune up, u name it. Now I have come to the conclusion that fords are ****ty cars, 20 years later and even the newer models have the same infamous tranmission problems seems to me american cars are ****, Im switching to jap makes soon. **** ford |
I would have to agree with you mostly. I'm a big chevy person and love my import tuners. The thing to keep in mind is:
a: every car has it's mechanical strengths and weaknesses b: judging a make by one model isn't completely accurate. For instance, ford transmissions are known for problems, but so are Chevy ignition and fuel systems, particularly on 90s camaros (I owned one, it was a PITA but sooooo fast). However, I agree, Fords fall under the less reliable spectrum of vehicle makes. BUT, there are always the gems out there with any make. :) Better luck with another make. :) |
I just wanted to say a few words guys,If it has tits or tires you will have problems

My cars in my life time...
Dodge. 89 daytona 92 spirit 93 spirit ford 94 f150 01 windstar 01 focus pontiac 93 bonneville honda 97 civic 89 prelude 97 accord 93 chrysler new yorker h1 hummer chevy 93 suburban [choo choo] 94 1500 89 blazer volkswagen 94 gti subaru 94 Legacy 2 wheel drive in the end they all had problems. my daytona had 250k and was the only car i sold as is running, the H1 i also sold but was seized up. maybe its just me but all cars have there own problems. I still have the civic, new trany new engine,, and i still have the 93 suburban [choo choo] <--one of a kind its a bus that is fast as hell the windstar just got a new tran and may need a new engine.. but life go's on all cars break down!! |
you might want to try an newer vehicle, haha

Blazz81: I think Huck has a point. By the way, since you had that many vehicles I guess the 81 in your name refers to your age? I have a lot of respect for older people.;)

Regard the thread title:
Well, everyone has an opinion, just like they have a---oles, one may have just a bit more to recommend it than another, and perhaps not.
I won't mention my own preferences, unless asked to do so. imp |
sorry dude i own Ford mustang and Fiesta both are working very goo so in my opinion they are good car producers
|
cousin had a cgevy for less than 5000 miles, tranny crapped out on hime with in the first 6 months of ownin it, **** happins, every make has there problems that happin every now and then

I was going to just pass by this one but after thinking about it a little I realize I do have a little something to say. Looking out my window I see a 94 Lexus here for an engine rebuild, a 96 Taurus for a transmission, an 05 Windstar needing an EGR valve, an 01 LaSaber needing a lower intake gasket, a 99 Astro for wheel bearings and an ignition module, an 02 Cavalier for a head gasket, a Civic with a harmonic balancer that fell off, and more coming daily.
With the technological advancements we are capable of it makes sense we could build something to last longer. But we also have to realize how money hungry everyone seems to be too. Make it to last and sell no parts or services. Also, anything man made is bound to break eventually. All we can really do is find something to get from point A to point B and back again until the next one is needed. |
Hi,
I am pikereen. I have read this thread and this is definitely a fourm worth following. You’ve got a great deal to say about this subject, and so much knowledge. I think that you know how to make people listen to what you have to say, especially with an issue that’s so important. I am glad to see this fourm. Two big thumbs up, man. |
I have never had a problem with my GT500. 450,000 miles and it is running fine. The problem is that you need to take care of your car, the dealers make there money off of you taking it in, so they make sure there is something wrong for next time. Fix it yourself. My focus is just a new car and my new F-350 Just will never break down. Got a 2011 F-350 with 28,000 miles and it still is perfectly fine. Besides This is a FORD forum, respect the American corporation. The problem with america is that nobody wants to support it, they want to send money over to Germany and Japan. Support america and live in it, otherwise go over to Europe. :cool:

You brought up some good points, unfortunately, there aren't many if any vehicles made with parts made in the USA. Sure they're assembled here, but with parts made somewhere else. If you go any dealership for parts you will notice not very many, if any ,are made in the USA and that hurts. You think you are buying an American car, but "it just aint so".
|
That's free trade for y'all nothing is ever as good as it's supposed to be due to the hype that they put into it. I still think that if someone buys the crap then they get what they pay for!!! If you want american then make it yourself that's the only way you'll ever get anything made in the USA.

I agree to friends comment above. Every car is a mechanical machine and its tested for certain level of stress and capacity. The engineering department of Ford are so well equipped that they leave space for no down the time troubles PROVIDED the driver uses it sanely!! afterall its a machine. U need to take care of it else it will always give u trouble and thats with every company cars. visit http://automanix.com/category/ford/ for more detailed review on Indian products of Ford

I have owned new and used Ford, Dodge, Chevy, and Toyota vehicles. I have had used Fords out live the Dodge and Chevy. I only ow Ed o e Toyota do I wo t count that. Every vehicle has the potential to be a money pit though, no matter what model it is.
|
regardless what you have your bound to have trouble with it ! i owned chevys, dodges and fords and i had trouble with all of them ! i would have to say the fords i had over the years i had less trouble with them then any other ! vehicles are just machinery and it all depends on how well you take care of them !
|
i agree with you bigdaddy ! i had less trouble with fords then any other kind !
|
yea I have to agree when I was young a long time ago I owned a 1967 fastback mustang with the factory 390 four speed set up needless to say that car was an animal but after that car seems like every ford I owned was was just a downhill slide
|
The Taurus has always had tranny problems. But I have a 1980 Ford truck with over 400,000 miles and the tranny has never been torn down. A 1985 e 150 van with 150,000 with no major problems. Also had 89 Buick that made 225,000 with no major problems until a tree fell on it. Buying a vehicle is a crapshoot, never know what you will get.
