Well, my explorer (1996) is acting up yet again... :af: :af:
in the last year..
New Shocks
New Axle Bearing
misc other small repairs..

and Now... a new Catalytic converter...:af: :af:
I'm just grumpin, it's been a good car given the type of mileage and lower than average maintanence I give it, (always good about oil changes) but I learned I need to start washing the undercarriage more frequently etc.. she needs to last 4 more years, till I get a 'real' job for now cant afford new wheels!

Fix Or Repair Daily

Yup..
really cant beatch, it's been pretty decent to me... just hate the nickle and dime stuff.. knock on wood that overall it's been pretty good

Wife and I had Tauruses. Took good care of them with regular maintenance- oil changes, brakes, tuneups. They ran fine up til 70,000 miles and then they fell apart. Fuel pumps, starters, radiators, heater cores, etc.

i had the ford from hell..

worst truck i ever bought.. 97 f150.. started leaking tranny fluid at 15000, 3 transmission pans, 8 gaskets and a tailcone assembly later they fixed it.. 22 recalls, and tiny ford focus loaners.. what a joke.. i traded it in with 66000 miles and
a short time later one of the mechanics spun a bearing in the motor..

glad i got rid of it when i did..

i will never own one again.. i'd rather drive a yugo..
