January 24, 2010, on Ford Story:
I'm 54 years old and have been around cars all my life. In the many Fords I have owned, problems have been few, and fewer the newer they get. 1964 Galaxie, nothing major needed a valve job in an 8 year old car. 1974 Mustang II. 2.8 V6/automatic. No problems other than the Firestone 500 tires. 1982 Mercury Capri 5.0/4 spd. Computer module failed, replaced under warranty. No other problems. 1986 Taurus MT-5 2.3 I4/5spd. Fan switch failed, caused engine to overheat. $800.00 repair. I was kinda POed because I even brought it in beacause I knew it wasn't working. Dealer's fault really. 1990 Mustang LX 5.0/5spd. No problems. 1995 Taurus SHO 3.0/5 spd. No problems. 1996 Lincoln Mark VIII. 4.6/auto. Alternator failed after 72K miles. Rear air bags developed a leak. Both were out of warranty. Otherwise it was still "as new" in 2005. 2005 Mustang GT. 4.6/auto. A small rattle developed with the exhaust and the frame, and the defrosted had some lines that didn't work: fixed under warrant...
