Any Fault Free Xr6t, F6,or Gt

[tab]

So enlighten me you clowns - what manufacturer has NEVER had a fault with ANY of the cars they produce?

←

Theres not many, but Mazdas line up is a good example of cars that are basically faultless.

Mazda 3 and Mazda 6 in particular.

Its not about having some faults, but Ford & Expensive Daewoo certainly win awards for being at the higher end..

Its just interesting to see if anyone out there has been lucky enough to buy a BA / BF and not have any issues with it. I know plenty of people who buy Mazdas, Toyotas and Subarus that never have any warranty work done on them. My Best mates mum has an 04 Liberty with 70,000 kays on it that's never been near Subaru, hes a mechanic and services it himself, it lives on a dirt road and is still as tight as the day they picked it up.

←

The thing is though, applying the logic of these threads distorts it all out of proportion.

My sister had a Mazda 323 and it was nothing short of a lemon, I can only recall one other person with a mazda and his is OK – so therefore 50% of all mazdas are lemons. Am I correct?

And the fact that there are several thousand falcons roaming the streets of Brisbane with hundreds of thousands of k's on the clock is a fair testament isn't it?

Of course otherwise all the taxis would be Mazdas, Toyatas, Suburus or BMWs wouldn’t they?

Theres No doubting Ford offers a cheap, reliable long lasting car, but look at the bigger picture.

Reliability and quality are two different things. Falcons are Reliable, they do the job but how good do they do it? Things like diff whine, driveline clunks, poor interior fit and finish, paint and so on is the issue alot of people here have experienced with their T's.

The worse part about the whole thing is though half of the problems could be resolved quiet easily if Ford actually pulled their fingers out and did something about it, theres problems that were found with early build cars that were NEVER rectified on the production line, some of them were small, otheres were bigger but at the end of the day they could and should have been dealt with.

My question is how does Ford continue to fork out money for Warranty claims? Why not spend the money to start with in getting the things right...

The 100% reliable model that will come of the production line without a single issue is a myth. Ford are not stupid, the beancounters have no doubt calculated everything and have their “mistake threshold” at the most economical level.

Most people whose car has a rattle or a squeak wouldn’t even worry about it – this forum is aimed at enthusiasts, and I assume the people you associate with also are, so understandably you will spend more time getting these issues sorted out than your regular vehicle owner would.

Like I’ve mentioned elsewhere, there’s no doubting that the bang for buck of these vehicles is at an excellent level, so even if you had to spend the purchase price over again (out of your own pocket) to fix every issue you’d still be better off than buying the European equivalent.

I had a Mazda3 that had a faulty Fuel Gauge.

I had a Toyota Corolla Sportivo that had a faulty Oil Level Light.

I had a VZ Ute that had a faulty Fuel Gauge.

I have had 3 BA Falcons that have had several issues but all fixed with minimal hassle, the BAs have provided the better owning experience IMHO.

Remember that a number of the "common known issues" are with third party manufactured parts. Ford does not directly manufacture a large percentage of the car. The suppliers actually cover the cost for warranty repairs NOT Ford (ie. Diffs, Gearboxes etc).

BRB - need to run that through an interpreter

[BALLBREAKER]

I have a Nov 03 T, and I have not had anything replaced under warranty by request. At it's 1st service they replaced a globe for the rear license plate illumination, I hadn't noticed. On its second service "Handbrake" had pushed Fog lamp switch in. This was just put back in place.

And that my friends is it! I have 31K Kays on the clock, car is well looked after, well I'm trying my bloody best anyway.

I don't know if one bulb will not qualify my car Ballbreaker, but sh*t, it would be pretty close.
