Who Has Problems With Their Car?

[BlueXR6Turbo]

Too many for me to list right now. I'll have to do it when I've got a bit more time. I'm off to the SA cruise now.

[RIPGMH]

seems ridiculous we get problems fixed and they keep re emerging,I had my radiator changed at 15k ,and now at 30k,its leaking like a sieve

[Paradoxx]

A lot of people telling us about their problems, yet there's 9 so far withough a single problem... I find it hard to believe.

Well my first T was a May 03 build, and had about 36 warranty issues.

Ranging from rattles, scratched paint, to a stuffed auto tranny, and other stuff too.

My new T August 04 (27,000kms) only has a couple of issues. Power steering shudder, heat sheild rattles, premium brake squeal (with the new pads from the TSB), and diff clunk.

The last two don't bother me, I expected the drive line shunt when I ordered it, and it only effects me when I'm on low revs (only ever getting in and out of my garage). Premium brake squeal, well I prefer them to stop and don't care what sounds they make as long as they stop.

I'm very happy with my new T, best new car experience I've ever had :D

[citric acid xr6t]

Water pump leak - fixed

Brake Shudder - fixed

Stalling - fixed

Dodgy marks in paint on bonnet - fixed

Scraping sound from rear (handbrake) - fixed

Rattling heat shield on muffler - to be fixed at 45000 service next week

Vibration at 100km - to be fixed at 45000 service next week

Cracked drivers seat base - to be fixed at 45000 service next week

I have had a couple of probs with my car but each time these have been brought to my dealer's attention they have fixed them and given me a loaner vehicle whilst mine was in for repair. The only one which took a while was the stalling issue.

I am absolutely wrapped in this car and would recommend buying one to anyone.

At Christmas I did a 7000km trip from Brisbane to Hobart and return. The car comfortably accommodated 4 adults and 1 10 year old with all of our luggage and ran faultlessly the whole trip. How many other performance cars could do this?

[MaxPower]

5,000 k's

Power Steering Rack leaking (3 times to fix) Full rack replaced

Panels not put on straight enough for my liking from factory (ill get my p/b to fix)

tyres need to be balanced ( to be fixed )

I love the car and knew id get a few troubles regardless. ( it is a Ford FFS )

if I had troubles like some did, I'd sell the POS and never buy a Ford again.

All in all I love it,.................I LOVE IT!!!
