What Warranty Work Have You Had Done

Lacquer coming off wheels - next service issue

The 18s you got from Luke, or the 17" stockers?

My car is going into Ford tomorrow for a few things

Brake Shudder again - 73,000K's I was told that brake shudder is only warranted up to 65,000K's. But if you have had been in minium 3 times for brake shudder issues they will warrant it.

Getting a clunk sound left hand side steering when I turn right. Not a click sound.

Also getting checked out - clunk noises coming from the rear of the car.

Managed to kill my CD stacker with a half dozen dodgy burnt discs jammed in there - Ford replaced stacker under warranty. Good.

Complained about sluggish on-boost performance, Ford couldn't find a problem aside from loose heat shielding and hose clamping something. Problem persists. Not so good.

05 t ute hard lid hinge screws falling out and lid trying to get in through the back window very costly, leaking diff and a suspension rattle that's been there from day dot and every service I tell them yes sir we adjusted this tightened that then why the *beep* is it still rattling and on cool mornings I really dont like the sound that comes from the bottom end

7000KM. BF, 6sp auto, lux pack, side airbags, factory alarm.

Only 3 things done so far under warranty.

1. 800km old (9 days old!)

Valve spring broke. Poor idle and no power. Limp home 1km away. Wasn't driving it hard when it broke. Quick response from roadside assist and then tow to dealer. 2 days to fix (no springs in stock)

2. 1600km old

Passenger foot scuff panel loose and unsecured. Could not open glovebox.

3. 7000km old (today)

Dynamic Stability Control light would always come on after 10 minutes driving and stay on until engine stop. After restart the sequence would repeat. Start engine but just idle and light did not come on. Same day fix. They asked me if it had been edit flashed as they had seen it cause DSC fault before. Software reset fixed it so far.

At this rate I will never have to wash my car. The dealer does it every time I've been there. Getting to know the service manager too well.

Things that are going to be mentioned at 15,000 service:

* The usual exhaust, suspension, steering looseness, clatter and grinding over speedhumps. Getting worse. Driving slower over speedhumps now to avoid hearing unrefined cacophony.

* Annoying fuel cap release that sometimes won't re-engage.

Things that haven't happened yet but expected:

* brake shudder, handbrake ineffective.

Minor things I fixed:

* Boot emergency opener cable and end tag. Came adrift of useless velcro fastener and causing annoying rattle.

* Roof lining edge not finished off properly. Tucked it under moulding.

Occasional annoyances but won't bother to mention as 0% chance of being fixed:

* hard to recline seat. Knurled knob awkward to reach and stiff to operate.

* sun visors too low and on significant angle. Blocks road vision.

* driver's seat too high

* creases in luxury sport seats velour/leather facings

* weak ineffective windscreen washers, tiny reservoir

* tiniest bump for left foot rest. C'mon get serious. It's not a footrest, must be just a pad to rest my foot on.

I agree with every single one of them.. (except luxo sports leather as I dont have that)..

Regarding the seats.. Why put the lumber support knob on the door side of the seat.. its too hard to adjust WHILST still sitting in position. My AU one was in the console side of the seat. that was easy to adjust.

The washer jets ... Well they are pointing downt oo low. and quick glance at them looks like they are not adjustable..

Took my car to ford on Friday to get ten and idler pulley looked at because they were making a lot of noise. They replaced both of them plus they told me my battery was failing on load but that wasn’t covered because battery is covered only for one year!

Oh and I told them I don’t want my car to be road tested, coz I had bad experience in the past. First time that I’m satisfied with the warranty work.

So far: Horn replaced, machined discs x1, tightened turbo bolts, ten&idler pulleys replaced and battery. Maybe I missed something not sure...

Overall very happy with my car.
