zd351 Member 18 Member For: 22y 2m Posted 12/03/06 08:36 AM Posted 12/03/06 08:36 AM Come Wednesday my car will be making its 28th (I think) recorded visit to my friendly Ford service dpartment. However, there have been more visits that have not been officially recorded on their database.You name the problem and my car has had it. The question that I ask others is, What is the record number of visits? and, Has anyone had their car replaced under the "Lemon Laws"?By the way my vehicle is a 2002 model with 70kms.

Posted 12/03/06 11:04 AM Posted 12/03/06 11:04 AM I've been back for left hand rear drive shaft, one headlight (globe), one driving light (globe) and a radiator... all covered under factory warranty... I've had the car for 6 months... I got it at 37k's and it has now done 47k's...Previous owner only had brake shudder under warranty as per Ford's database...No where near your 'record'... are you now done with Fords or would you be prepared to buy another one? Interested as your experience would turn me off...Jack

It was quite amusingHave done a search again but am unable to find it, anybody point me in the right direction??

Not directed at you rjn.lol, thanks for this. I had two screaming sprogs on the go and as most can appreciate, didn't have the 4 hours to trawl through the search results to find it.I had not seen this one, it's possible I might have to do the same thing as these two and write something on the back of mine soon.Entering negotiations with a couple of partys at the moment so may post outcome in near future, that's assuming there is one!Could be this one as wellhttp://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/index.php?showtopic=23985cheers, this is the one I was looking for.My problem is, for every bad one out there there are probably 100 (maybe less??) good ones, and as mentioned on one of them, when it goes good, it's great, hence I will probably get another one. Sucker for puishment? you betWouldn't it would nice to be one of those people who see cars as a form of transport and didn't derive some sort of pleasure from of driving?Who am I kidding? Jesus, I'll be knitting soon.......<SLAP> OK, better now.....
