Ford have acted like a bunch of dumb fcuks from the start, its great to see you have the balls to take them on. l am sure you will win.l am afraid my respect for Ford as a manufacturer is dwindling daily at present, sh!t like this just confirms it Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/11672-its-come-to-this/page/2/#findComment-140867 Share on other sites More sharing options...

useless Member 259 Member For: 20y 10m 20d Gender: Male Posted 05/07/04 01:34 PM Share Posted 05/07/04 01:34 PM IM NOT TOO SURE OF YOUR PLIGHT...HOWEVER I HAVE GATHERED ENOUGH TO SEE YOUVE GOT PROBS WITH THE CAR. When we buy something we enter into a legally binding contract.If Ford have not given you what you paid for they are in breach of their duty of care to provide you with goods that were either not safe or fit for their intended purpose.DO get legal advice and dont take my statement as law.However I do believe that I am somewhat correct.At the end of the day it is very hard to fight big companies and that's where the media comes into it.

RAPHOON Donating Members 1,776 Member For: 21y 9m 27d Posted 07/07/04 04:53 AM Share Posted 07/07/04 04:53 AM Familia,I'm just about where you are myself. I had my gearbox replaced 2+ weeks ago and received a replacement box with different problems.I took the car back to Ford today for the mechanic to test drive the vehicle. He found that the box had some issues and would call me once he had made some calls.The call I received absolutely floored me.According to the gearbox manufacturer, the 5th gear crunch (which the car has had from basically new) was due to driver abuse and therefore have voided my drivetrain warranty!!!! So, an unmodded car that's never been to a drag strip and mostly driven on cruise control down a motorway can have it's driveline warranty revoked? I don't think so. All I need to know now is who to sue. Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/11672-its-come-to-this/page/2/#findComment-141296 Share on other sites More sharing options...

All I need to know now is who to sue. 51XRT,How can they claim that it is driver abuse??? have they sat in the car with you for hours on end to come to this conclusion.... or have they been with you in the car for a few minutes only??... If the latter is correct, how can they draw a conclusion from this????It is easy to draw cheap ass conclusions to avoid fixing warranty items!!! FORD, get your act together, fix the problems and let us all drive the cars that we paid for.... and not some second rate product that you try to flog off as been normal or otherwise as driver abused how many k's have you racked up since getting the new box?? good luck....

Ford can kiss my ass aswell - THIRD POWERSTEER PUMP IN 5,000 kms and still no FIX!!! How much is this costing them??? Can someone really say that Expensive Daewoo are this bad, yes they had their GEN III issues, but overall people dont complain as much as us Ford owners.
