October 22, 200619 yr #1 Hello pplWell I had the T in yet again for some issues such as.. brake shudder. Heatshield rattle... powersteering shudder.. Noisy diff whine...and I also got them to check out my drivers seat for exessive ware..So all of the above was fixed and I had to slap myself when ford aggreed to REPLACE the fabric on the drivers seat. . YAY... Diff number 4 is also on the way.. Now the bloke also pulled the throttle body apart to give it a bit of a clean and whist either removing or replacing the cross over piping broke the three rubber mounts off and did not replace them .. They also did not do up the two hose clamps on the throttle body... I discovered this when headding up bulli pass and hearing a loud hissing noise..Is it always the case when getting work done you get the car back with something new wrong with the car.. How hard is it to go back over the car and check that everything is ok... NOT ROCKET SCIENCE!!!!!!!!!! So yeah just though id inform the masses with the ongoing issues with my car..Rob
October 22, 200619 yr #3 Brake Shudder on an 05?Funny you say that, I had a markII XT last week and it had bad bad shudder. Sounds like Ford never really resolved the issue in late 03 like they lead us to believe.
October 22, 200619 yr #5 Fords come standard with warranty issues. Nothing newMine came standard with a handbrake that never worked and diff chatter,heat sheild rattle and a diff leak also the steering clunk that kept coming back just like the brake shudder aswell.Oh I forgot the transmission that never new which gear it wanted aswell as the massive bang that come from under my car when travelling on a motorway.That happend twice. Nice looking car but that's about it Never had a new car with so much go wrong with it.
October 22, 200619 yr #6 It's not the problems with the car that brings Ford down..sh*t breaks in every car...It's the service or lack of, and the sheer stupidity of most Ford service departments that bring them down..
October 22, 200619 yr #7 Yeah Ford services sucks.My family just bought some new BMW,s and they pick there cars up for services and leave another.Might just have to get the new M3.
