Which vehicles out of all the cars and trucks left you stranded and you had to keep dumping money into??

Me personally the old 93' Ram biggest Pos outta Detriot I think i might have put more miles on my work boots than I did that truck. everything that could have gone wrong did... to bad with on 77,000 on the clock

 

'92 Escort 1.8L.
It was our first car in the United States. We owned it for about a year, and then I traded it when I bought Mustang.

 

2000 F150 5.4 supercab 4x4. By far biggest POS I've ever owned. 5.4 has been falling apart since about 77K.

1963 Cadillac Convertible...if I ever see it again, it'll be too soon!

 

1968 international 4x4 pickup. Parts made by all the big three.I still have nightmares about that ugly truck after 20 years.

 

SHoulda gotta 1.9 engine was more refined and had less problems... well atleast mine has best vehicle i've owned


well dont feel bad there are some bad one's out there in every model/make If it makes u feel any better my uncles new 07' Gmc (new body style) has already been in the shop several times for some kind of vibration issue

 

1990 Nissan Maxima after 3 months haveing it parked it decided that the injectors went bad and it was scrap after that.

 

We got Escort 3 months after moving to the USA, so we didn't know much about domestic vehicles back then. Escort have really good reputation in Europe, but not so good in the USA.

 

You all are talking about "good" cars. Try some of the cars I have had. How about a Simca, Plymouth Cricket, Sunbeam Arrow, Metropolitan (3), Fiat and a Renault. Not only did they break but you couldn't get replacement parts for them. Getting parts for European cars is bad enough but try getting them for orphan European Cars. I found out why they were very cheap and I found out why they were orphaned. Don't know how I missed having a Yugo.

 

Consider yourself lucky you didn't own a Wartburg, Moretti, or a Trabant!

Wartburg...a shining example of 1950's East German engineering had one laughable feature. The ignition switch bezel was labeled..."Fahrt!"

It usually didn't.

 

Or ZAZ.

 

What about a Skoda....

 

Aren't they still around? And I think they make weapons, too.

Thank goodness I didn't. I seemed to end up with vehicles orphaned by domestic companies that brought cars here and then abandoned them. The Simca, Cricket and Sunbeam were abandoned by Chrysler and the Metropolitan was abandoned by AMC. I also had a Ford Cortina after they were orphaned by Ford but it didn't break badly and parts could still be purchased. I just had a thing about being able to buy a 2 or 3 year old car for $200 (back in the late 60s and early 70s).
