Falchoon I see red Member 5,758 Member For: 22y 1m 4d Location: nowhere in particular Posted 01/05/05 06:46 AM Share Posted 01/05/05 06:46 AM I bought my car from Gregorys Braddon and up to date have had it serviced there with no real probs. My car hasn't really had any major warranty problems (yet....) except for the handbrake which I haven't worried about because I know they don't know how to fix it so I just put up with it. Maybe you could try taking the car to a non-Ford workshop for servicing though obviously they are not going to fix any problems under warranty, though neither is your current Ford dealer so nothing really changes there. The independent workshop might figure out how to fix the problems even though you may have to pay for them, but at least then they will be fixed (hopefully).Watch out for that dodgy spare parts guy at Mitchell.....

Audi build quality?Sure, Audi build quality might be nice. Too bad the dealers still don't give a stuff.My boss took delivery of his Audi A4 1.8T Cabriolet last March. ON DELIVERY, he found the tint was peeled at the corners on the passenger door glass and his phone car kit had been installed in such a crude way that they'd damaged his center console and buggered up the alignment of the CD player. Sure, those are things taken care of by subbies, but the dealer's the one in charge of quality control before the vehicle is released.After having the car for 2 months, the brake lights started staying on all the time. Odd, especially being coupled with the car not wanting to lock, then not wanting to unlock then the roof not going up or down. Did I mention that sometimes it wouldn't even start? Back to Audi, new computer; all fixed, see ya later. But it's European so that's OK? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jordak Member 1,226 Member For: 20y 7m 12d Posted 03/05/05 10:26 AM Share Posted 03/05/05 10:26 AM I think consumers are thier own worst enemies. As long as there are those amongst us that hold the view that "I know I spent $50k but hey it's only a Ford so I'll just put up with the average build quality and don't give a f*ck service attitude", nothing is likely to improve.I'm sure if we had the "3 strikes and your out" law that applies to other products manufacturers would find a fix for p*ss poor issues such as scraping brakes quick smart.

Perhaps you should trade the T in on an X-Wing and fight the empire? Or is that the metephor? That now you are taking on a new empire... This one is not ruled by a black plastic man with a respiritory disease living on a space ship, this one is rulled by an American living in Geelong?If your name has nothing to do with Wedge Antilles, please ignore my stupid commentry.
