Frankg Member 20 Member For: 21y 9m 10d Location: Adelaide Posted 02/09/03 02:21 PM Share Posted 02/09/03 02:21 PM Hi am a new user have had my XR6T for about two months now 5500 kays on her... I have had some problem with it from new just wanting to know how many other people have experienced same things??1. Brake Shudder problem (Common I think with auto?) 2. Headlight fogging up even in any conditions3. Sometimes when cold makes big clunk when going into reverse4. Slight imperfection in paint on bonnet5. Seems to fog up alot inside car more than I have seen any other car anyway....For the record I was a Die Hard Expensive Daewoo fan although never owned a decent one ( If there is such a thing???) But when I went looking for a new car after weighing up all the options the FORD had all the right ticks in all the right boxes... WELL DONE FORD!!!Have shown my mates who both own Monaro's and they couldnt believe my car sh*ts all over em!!! heheheh Also feel sorry for people having to wait so long to get thier BEAST I only waited two months for mine!!!

Falchoon I see red Member 5,758 Member For: 22y 4m 14d Location: nowhere in particular Posted 02/09/03 10:18 PM Share Posted 02/09/03 10:18 PM Welcome to the party FrankG. 1. I'd say 90% of BAs have brake shudder problem, unacceptable IMHO on a $50,000 car though it did make me feel a bit better reading a letter to the editor in the latest Wheels mag where a guy wrote in to say he has bought 2 BMWs recently (can't recall what models) and they have brake shudder as well.2. My headlight sometimes fogs up when I wash the car but most of the time it seems OK. I have heard of a couple of other people here with similar prob to you though.3. Haven't got the reverse clunk and don't want it!4. Go and hassle the dealer to get the paint touched up.5. It does get a bit foggy inside, the thing that annoys me is the vapour off the plastic dash trim fogs up the window. 6. Watch out for Ken24T :lol: Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/5970-problems-with-xr6-t/#findComment-47702 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes2. Haven't noticed (but only washed it two or three times so... )3. No4. Get it fixed up if you can5. Yes, much foggier than any car I have had (need to have air directed at the windscreen 90% of the time). Then again, its also the most powerful car I have ever had, so I'll put up with the fog Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/5970-problems-with-xr6-t/#findComment-47707 Share on other sites More sharing options...
cvanxr Member 502 Member For: 22y 5m 19d Location: Country NSW Posted 02/09/03 10:54 PM Share Posted 02/09/03 10:54 PM Welcome,Haven't really noticed the fog thing. Agree with the others, such a new car there are bound to be a few issues. That is what warranty is for, every rattle or sqeak I speak to my service manager. :D Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/5970-problems-with-xr6-t/#findComment-47717 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Got me at a loss, but like aniken said, I'll just ahve to grin and bear it!
