1993 Ford Tempo complaints

ONGOING / INTERMITTENT PROBLEM WITH ENGINE STALLING WHILE DRIVING, MORE SO DURING THE HOT SEASON, THEN THE COLD SEASON. ALSO, MORE FREQUENT WHEN ENGINE WAS RUNNING LONGER PERIODS OF TIME. BEEN TO AN INDEPENDENT SHOP ON SEVERAL OCCASIONS, BUT PROBLEM STILLOCCURRING. PLEASE FEEL FREE TO PROVIDE ANY FURTHER DETAILS. *AK

MY CAR KEEPS STALLING & IT ALSO DOES NOT START WHEN THE ENGINE IS HOT. THIS IS AN ONGOING PROBLEM THE DEALER CAN NEVER FIND THE PROBLEM. NOW THERE IS A RECALL IN CA ON THE 2 MILLION CARS FROM FORD THAT DOES THE SAME EXACT THING AS MINE DOES. *AK

LAST SUMMER I WAS DRIVING MY FORD HOME FROM THE GROCERY STORE. ALL OF A SUDDEN MY CAR JUST DIED. I WAS CLOSE TO HOME SO I WAS ABLE TO COAST IT INTO MY DRIVEWAY. WE DIDN'T KNOW WHAT WAS WRONG SO WE TOOK IT TO A GARAGE AND HAD IT LOOKED AT. THEY REPLACED MY INERTIA SWITCH. $204.84. A COUPLE WEEKS LATER MY CAR DID THE EXACT SAME THING. I HAD TO HAVE IT TOWED THEN. I TOOK IT BACK TO THE SAME GARAGE AND THEY LOOKED IT OVER AND COULDN'T FIGURE OUT WHAT WAS WRONG. I FIGURED OUT THAT IT HAPPENED MOSTLY WHEN I TURNED MY AIR CONDITIONER ON, AND THE ENGINE GOT HOT. SO WE HAVE GONE THE LAST TWO SUMMERS WITHOUT USING MY AIR CONDITIONER FOR VERY LONG. I HAD NO CLUE WHAT WAS WRONG UNTIL I RECENTLY SAW THINGS ON THE NEWS ABOUT THE TFI MODULE IN FORD CARS. WHAT THEY ARE DESCRIBING IS EXACTLY WHAT IS HAPPENING TO MY CAR. IT HAS DIED ON ME THREE TIMES THIS SUMMER. ONCE IT WAS AT A VERY BUSY INTERSECTION AND I WAS SCARED TO DEATH. I COULDN'T GET IT STARTED FOR ALMOST 20 MINUTES. AND IT CONTINUED TO DIE ALL THE WAY HOME. I HAD TO KEEP PULLING OFF THE ROAD. I CALLED FORD AND THEY TOOK MY INFO BUT HAVE NOT CONTACTED ME YET. I WOULD LIKE TO INCLUDE MY NAME IN ANY ACTIONS TAKEN AGAINST FORD AND ADD MY NAME TO THE LIST OF PEOPLE WITH THIS PROBLEM THAT I WOULD LIKE FIXED VERY SOON!! THANK YOU FOR ANY HELP. J. CRUZ. *AK

MY CAR WILL JUST STOPPED ON ME. *AK

NO SUMMARY LISTED FOR ABOV EVEHICLE. *AK( DOT NUMBER: )

VEHICLE SOMETIMES STALLS, AND SOMETIMES IT WON'T EVEN START AT ALL. CONSUMER FEELS SOMEONE COULD BE KILLED IF THIS HAPPENS ON THE HIGHWAY.*AK

TEMPO STALLS WHEN THE TEMPERATURE (AIR) IS HOT, MUST WAIT 15-30 MINUTES FOR COOL DOWN BEFORE THE CAR WILL RUN. NO NOTICE THAT THE CAR IS ABOUT TO FAIL, ONE OF THESE TIMES I AM GOING TO BE PASSING SOMEONE, AND WILL FIND MYSELF IN A REAL PREDICAMENT

DRIVER / PASSENGER MOTOR SAFETY BELTS ARE OFF TRACK AND CAUSE A LOUD UNNECESSARY NOISE. BELT STAYS STUCK IN THE MIDDLE OF TRACK, AND MOTOR CONTINUES TO RUN ON, LEAVING OCCUPANTS WITHOUT ANY RESTRAINTS. DEALER NOTIFIED,AND INFORMED CONSUMER THAT VEHICLE WAS OUT OF ITS WARRANTY. NOTHING COULD BE DONE,UNLESS COST GOES TO CONSUMER. *AK

WINDSHIELD WIPER MOTOR: THE ORIGINAL WINDSHIELD WIPER MOTOR WAS REPLACED WITH A REBUIT ONE SINCE THE ORIGINAL FAILED TO OPERATE ON ANY OF THE INTERMITTENT SETTINGS. IT WOULD WORK ON HIGH AND LOW ONLY. THE ORIGINAL MOTOR WAS REPLACED WITH A REBUILT WIPER MOTOR AND OPERATED FINE BUT MADE A LOUD NOISE. I HAD THE REBUILT WIPER MOTOR REPLACED WITH ANOTHER REBUILT WIPER MOTOR AND HAVE HAD IT FOR 13-14 MONTHS. THE WIPER MOTOR I HAVE CURRENTLY IS NOW MAKING THE SAME NOISE AS WITH THE SECOND WIPER MOTOR. IT IS STILL OPERATIONAL AT THIS POINT ON ALL SETTINGS.DOOR LOCKS: THE POWER DOOR LOCKS HAVE INDIVIDUALLY STOPPED WORKING AT DIFFERENT TIMES. I USED WD-40 ON ALL OF THE LOCKS AND IT HAS HELPED ALL BUT ONE (REAR PASSENGER SIDE) THAT REFUSES TO WORK WHEN DEPRESSING THE LOCK\UNLOCK BUTTON. IT WILL STILL WORK MANUALLY. REVVING OF ENGINE: THE ENGINE WILL REV VERY HIGH WHEN THE CAR IS PLACED IN PARK. PRESSING THE BRAKE OR THE GAS PEDAL DOES NOT DECREASE THE REVVING NOR DOES LIFTING THE GAS PEDAL UP. THE ONLY SOLUTION IS TO TURN THE CAR OFF AND TO TURN IT BACK ON. THIS IS TIED TO THE CAR ACCELERATING WITHOUT PRESSING ON THE GAS PEDAL. THEY BOTH HAPPENED ON THE SAME BRIEF TRIP (20 MILES) BUT HAVE ALSO HAPPENED INDIVIDUALLY ON SEPARATE OCCASIONS. THE CAR ACCELERATES SLOWLY - APPROXIMATELY 1 MILE PER SECOND - AND WILL CONTINUE UNTIL ABOUT 40 - 50MPH WHERE ITS REMAINS CONSTANT. NO DEALER HAS BEEN ABLE TO DETERMINE THE PROBLEM EVEN AFTER SEARCHING THE CARS COMPUTER FOR A STORED CODE OR CAUSE. IGNI

WHILE APPLYING BRAKES VEHICLE PULLS TO RIGHT OR LEFT WHICH MAY CAUSE A LOSS OF VEHICLE CONTROL. DEALER REPLACE THE FRONT BRAKE CALIPERS 2 TIMES, AND BRAKE MASTER CYLINDER ONCE. PROBLEM IS STILL OCCURRING. DEALER CANNOT DETERMINE THE PROBLEM. PLEASE PROVIDE FURTHER INFORMATION.*AK

INTERMITTENTLY VEHICLE WILL STALL OUT AND DIES AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS. DEALER HAS BEEN NOTIFIED.*AK

CLOCK SPRING ACTIVATOR - SENSOR UNIT FAILED AGAIN. DRIVER AIR BAG LIGHT WARNING FLASHES CODE 32. ORIGINAL PART REPLACED UNDER WARRANTY. THIS CRITICAL AIR BAG PART SHOULD NOT FAIL. FORD MOTOR TOLD ME TO CONTACT DEALER. DEALER SAID REPLACEMENT NOT COVERED AND TO REPLACE WOULD BE AT MY EXPENSE. THIS CRITICAL ACTIVATION COMPONENT IS DEFECTIVE IN DESIGN AND SHOULD NOT FAIL. PLEASE ADVISE IF ANYTHING CAN BE DONE TO ASSIST ME AND OTHER DRIVERS WITH THE DRIVER SIDE AIR BAG OPTION ON THE 1993 FORD TEMPO. THANKS FOR YOU ASSISTANCE.*AK

NO SUMMARY LISTED FOR ABOVE VEHICLE. *AK

ENGINE STALLS AT STOPS AND CUTS OFF WHILE CAR IS IN MOTION WHICH CAUSES STEERING COLUMN TO LOCK, MAKING CAR UNCONTROLLABLE. THE LAST TIME I WENT ACROSS ONCOMING TRAFFIC LANE. (THANK GOD NO CARS WERE COMING TOWARD ME!!) THIS IS A LIFE-THREATENING PROBLEM BECAUSE I NEVER KNOW WHEN THE CAR IS GOING TO CUT OFF. WHAT IS WRONG?? IS THIS ONE OF THE PROBLEMS BEING ADDRESSED IN THE CLASS-ACTION SUIT FOR TEMPO'S? IN ADDITION, THE BRAKE LIGHT IS CONSTANTLY ON WHILE DRIVING, BUT GOES OFF WHEN I BRAKE??*AK

HORN DOES NOT WORK. *CJ

HARMONIC BALANCER ( CRANKSHAFT PULLY) ON THE FORD TEMPO IS DEFECTIVE. THE FORD MOTOR COMPANY IS AWARE OF THE PROBLEM AND REFUSES TO RECALL THE TEMPO OR REIMBURSE OWNERS FOR THE WORK THAT HAS TO BE DONE IN ORDER TO HAVE THE VEHICLE WORK. *AK

MOTORBELT REPLACED ON TWO OCCASIONS. MJS

SIMPLY: AFTER DRIVING CAR FOR ABOUT 20 MINUTES THE CAR STARTS SMELLING LIKE GAS. I HAVE BATTLED WITH FORD TO FIX PROBLEM, AND THERE IS NO REPAIR PROCEDURE ACCORDING TO FORD. THEY ALSO SAY THERE IS NO HEALTH HAZARD IN SMELLING THE FUMES (I THINK DIFFERENTLY) I HOPE YOU CAN HELP US OUT WITH THIS PROBLEM. I HAVE HAD NO SATISFACTION FROM FORD...JUST THE RUNAROUND. AND ALSO MANY OTHER TEMPO OWNERS HAVE THE SAME PROBLEM. THANK YOU. *AK

WHILE TRAVLING THE AIRBAG LIGHT WAS CONSTANTLY FLASHING ON AND OFF. DEALER SAID THEY WOULD CHARGE 75 DOLLARS JUST TO LOOK AT IT. CONSUMER FELT THAT AIRBAG MAY NOT DEPLOY IN AN ACCIDENT. *AK

WHILE DRIVING IN TRAFFIC THE REAR TRANSMISSION MOUNT FELL OFF CAUSING VEHICLE TO LOSE POWER STEERING & WENT RIGHT INTO PARK. TOOK VEHICLE TO DEALER AND THEY REPLACED IT WITH A M6056 AFTER MARKET SEALED- POWER MOUNT. *YC

4TH FAILURE OF TRANSMISSION MOUNT...OEM FAILED AT 85,000 MILES CAUSING THUMP IN REVERSE...NO REAL HAZARD...THREE AFTERMARKET MOUNTS ALSO SHEARED AND THE LAST ONE (M6056) SHEARED AT BOTTOM ALLOWING TRANSAXLE TO DROP NEAR TOUCHING THE ROAD SURFACE. I LOST A HALF SHAFT, SET PARK CONDITION AS A RESULT AT 5MPH, DAMAGED LEFT FRONT HALF SHAFT AND WEDGED THE ENGINE DAMPER PULLET TO BODY WALL. THIS WILL COST NEAR $2500 FIX. FORD SHOULD INSTALL A CATCH PLATE UNDER THE MOUNT OR A SAFETY WIRE AROUND THE MOUNT TO PREVENT SUDDEN DROP OF TRANSAXLE FROM REAR WHILE AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS. THIS IS POTENTIAL KILLER AND FATAL DEFECT. I AM APPALLED AT THE DESIGN OF SUCH MOUNT AND THE SLANT THAT FORD PUTS IT ON (75 DEGREES) WITH NO SAFETY CATCH PLATE UNDER IT. THIS SHOULD BE NOTED TO FORD AND IMMEDIATELY DISSEMINATED!

TRANSMISSION MOUNT HAS SHEARED 4 TIMES SINCE 85,000 MILES EACH TIME RESULTING ONLY IN AN ANNOYING THUNK GOING INTO REVERSE EXCEPT THIS TIME WHEN IT SHEARED AT BOTTOM IT ALLOWED THE TRANSAXLE TO FALL DOWN 6 INCHES, FORCING PARK WHILE ACCELERATING, JAMMING THE CRANK PULLEY AND RIPPING OUT THE LEFT HALF SHAFT. I AM APPALLED THAT FORD WOULD NOT THINK OF A CATCH PLATE TO FIT UNDER THE MOUNT AREA FORWARD AND OR A SAFETY WIRE AROUND THE MOUNT'S TWO STUDS TO DISALLOW FALLING TO THE STREET LEVEL WHICH IT DID AT 5MPH ACCELERATING TO A INTERSECTION. THIS IS A KILLER FLAW AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS ESPECIALLY WHEN YOU THINK OF RIPPING OUT A HALF SHAFT AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS AND FORCING PARK MODE AND JAMMING THE CRANK PULLEY SO,AS TO LOSE POWER STEERING AND RPMS. I REALLY WISH THAT FORD WOULD FIX THIS CAR FOR FREE AS IT IS INEXCUSABLE THAT I HAVE HAD TO CHANGE THE TRANSMISSION MOUNT TWICE A YEAR USING AFTERMARKET MFR FOR $35 WHEN FORD WANTS $91 FOR SAME AND EVEN THE OEM MOUNT RIPPED AT 85,000 MILES..BUT RIPPED AT THE TOP AREA WHICH WAS BENIGN IN SYMPTOMS. I AM DISGUSTED AT THIS DESIGN...MOUNT IS FITTED AT 75 DEGREES ANGLE AND ENGINE-TRANSAXLE HAS NO SAFETY CATCH PLATE OR SAFETY WIRE. PLEASE NOTE THAT SUDDEN SHEAR-TEAR OF THIS LIQUID FILLED RUBBER MOUNT IS LIFE-THREATENING IN NATURE !!!

I HAVE THE FOLLOWING INTERMITTENT PROBLEM WITH MY CAR SINCE LAST FEBRUARY: WITHIN THE FIRST FEW MILES OF DRIVING, THE CAR SHUTS DOWN. IT STARTS UP AGAIN AFTER ANYWHERE FROM ONE MINUTE TO TWO MINUTES. AFTER I GO ABOUT 3 MILES WITHOUT IT HAPPENING, IT WON'T SHUT DOWN AGAIN. ALSO, SOMETIMES WHEN I TURN THE CAR OFF TO RUN IN THE STORE, AND WHEN I TRY TO START IT WHEN I COME OUT, IT WON'T START. THEN AFTER ABOUT 1 TO 2 MINUTES IT STARTS. I BROUGHT IT TO A FORD DEALER, THEY CHECKED OUT THE COMPUTER AND SENSORS, CLEANED THE INJECTION SYSTEM FOR THE FUEL, BUT COULDN'T FIND THE PROBLEM. SINCE THEN THE FOLLOWING PARTS HAVE BEEN REPLACED WITHOUT THE PROBLEM BEING FIXED. IGNITION MODULE, DISTRIBUTOR/CAP/ROTOR/PLUG WIRES AND SPARK PLUGS, GAS FILTER, IGNITION COIL, PICKUP COIL, AND THE COMPUTER. THE CAR WOULD NOT START FOR A MECHANIC AND HE SAID THERE WAS NO SPARK, SO THE PROBLEM IS ELECTRICAL. ANY SUGGESTIONS ON WHAT MIGHT BE CAUSING THIS, WOULD BE APPRECIATED. THANK YOU.
