“Ok, so a week and a half ago I went to start my car and it had trouble starting. When it did start the check engine light came on. I pulled the codes and got codes 3 and 4, which pertain to a faulty igniter. To explain my complaint, the form asked how many times it has failed and I wrote 12... 12 being the number of times roughly, that it has had trouble starting. I've heard this is a common problem in 1993 probes and I will have to replace it soon. Thanks for your help”

NHTSA complaint #744038, filed 2001-04

“I've been having problems with the air conditioning compressor ever since I've owned my 1993 Ford Probe gt (v6-cylinder). I had 3 previous new and rebuilt compressors replaced. They only lasted between 1 and 2 years. Each time costing me between $750 and $1100 for labor and to replace the compressor, o-ring, condenser, pull a vacuum, recharge the system, etc. I was informed by all of my AC repair guys that the problem was a small $10 valve on the compressor that had a limited 1-2 year life built-in to it by the Ford manufacturer. Ford calls this a known design flaw. …”
