It just seems everytime I read theres a new problem with the T's. I wish I didn't have to get rid of my ute ( Lost a lot of money ) but it appeared that everytime I got in it I found something wasn't quite right. Agreed that all cars are going to have problems ( a fault or two ) but its quite evident that Ford don't care & there problems are lengthy. I've read all the posts about good & bad Services departments. Its a lottery. Not slagging the T , but mine left a bad taste in my mouth. I think its a revolutionary car & in 3-4 years it will be a whole lot better. I will continue to follow its evolution & that of the cars within this forum.Oh & yeah my signature was off.....

IMO, that's what warranty is for. unfortunately the warranty doesnt always get all issues resolved..... glad my ute is sold too as it had too many problems.. my new T is great though only one problem... the back door doesnt close properly.... but this will get fixed at the 3000km compimentary service thingo The 6 speed manual rocks Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/17402-new-topic/page/2/#findComment-249768 Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you have a problem take it back and get it fixed under warranty. Reality is that there are going to be a few issues with every car sold, but that's just the way of life. Unless you can afford a BMW, Merc or Jag etc!Good luck!

stang Donating Members 1,353 Member For: 21y 3m 25d Location: Melbourne Posted 05/05/05 06:57 AM Share Posted 05/05/05 06:57 AM Guys, I think what has been said about jnr is that he should have posted these problems that are easily fixed now if he had have found the right dealer before he sold his xr6 and went anf bought a subaru. He no longer owns a n xr6 and has a sour taste in his mouth as he has written.Sorry if you still had the car there would have been some merrit but I dont agree with some one changing camps and whinging about there previous car either.Gee maybe I should go buy a HSV and complain that my fog light blew too when I had my xr6.

jnr Member 48 Member For: 21y 1m 16d Location: Hills District Posted 05/05/05 09:27 AM Author Share Posted 05/05/05 09:27 AM Yes I changed camps but Im still a follower of the T. They will break records as they already have. I sold my car not my opinion.The fog Lamps seem to be a topic of discussion but at the end of the day I had to take it back to Ford to replace it. Perhaps Im not as technically minded as some but not everyone that buys a T knows how to work on them , ask your Ford Service Crew.
