Ford, Holden Fail Satisfaction Survey!

I just don't get it why people cannot understand why manufacturers (of anything)will not honour the warranty on any product once it's modified from standard or tampered with. Break the security seal on any new product and see what happens when you try and get warranty repairs.

For example my tail shaft went at 14000KM a month and a half off the road, today I am without my car again because the dual zone climate control is stuffed! The car is not even a year old yet

My BAII lost the tail shaft (and the transmission) at 3,000 k's and was off the road for 3 days! and they gave me a loaner FOC. I was never off the road. That's the dealer.

wow...unbelievable guys (I mean I do believe you and all ;-)) but after the number of company cars I have had over the years of various brands, including a few falcons, my FG XR6T is by far...far...the best made, most reliable car I have ever owned. The only problem I have had after 30k klm and 20 months is the outside temp sensor going haywire and generally always reading 1 degree C ...that's it ....not one rattle squeak etc let alone a major problem. Agree that dealer attitude (I.e. arrogance and greed) sucks.

I'm not surprised Subaru scored the best, most of their buyers think 4wd is goods gift to safety, had a family member state they choose a Subary because of "safety of 4dw and 4 wheel brakes". I see them almost like the iphone fan base

The main issue I have with falcons is the suspension build quality (bushes, ball joints and stuff) not sure what FG is like but BA/F is pretty ordinary in this department, shouldn't have to change these things after 50k.

you know what I don't get? is how these subaru owners seem to think that 4wd makes the car handle better! all it does is give it more traction, it doesn't mean the car can enter or go through the corner any better! retards.

I didn't say anything at the time, but a mate has an 06 WRX, he thinks it's god's gift. we were following an FG XT falcon into a roundabout in the wet... his rex was slipping and moving around and generally being a handful, while the falcon just seem to drive in and drive out without a hassle, all the time hold the same pace!
