The Triumph TR7
This car was just a Triumph by name! From 1975 to 1981, roads in America and the United Kingdom were haunted by the Triumph TR7. It was supposed to be released in 1974, but there were production delays that pushed back the release to 1975 in the United States and 1976 in the United Kingdom – a sign of trouble. Maintenance problems littered early models and turned the sports car into a more expensive vehicle to own. When the 1980’s redesign was released, a lot of the said issues were gone. Car enthusiasts also started to come around, but the general public didn’t really care by that point.

The Ford Pinto
Be glad if you aren’t familiar with the Ford Pinto. Widely considered one of the worst cars in history, if not the worst, the Pinto was truly a nightmare for Ford. The Pinto was marketed as the compact “car of the future,” offering good fuel economy and decent performance, but it had a serious problem – its tendency to explode. Unfortunately, that isn’t an over-exaggeration. After its release, the Pinto became notorious for exploding when another vehicle hit it. Ford, however, refused to fix the problem and preferred to pay the victims, we mean buyers, as well as end the vehicle’s production.
