Everybody has car problems sometimes. Sometimes it's from lack of maintainence, sometimes from thrashing the car, sometimes it's just plain bad luck. Reading online forums is like sitting around in the doctor's waiting room, you're going to hear about sick cars. That goes for cars, trucks, Fords, Chevys, whatever.

Personally I have 130,000 miles on my 98 Contour and my water pump is the only thing I've replaced. Drives & handles like a dream. So I like mine!
