I'm getting sick of my car. Nothing but issues!
To start it all off, it was delivered to me with a scratch in the paint.
After a while, it decided that it would deny me the use of my USB input for a USB stick so it went in for that.
Then after maybe 9 or 10 months it developed a misfire which took Ford far too long to diagnose after denying any fault, saying they couldn't feel it on a test drive, which was absolute bollocks. Then the technician told me he had been looking for a different issue. This finally got sorted.
After this the alarm kept going off. This took them a few attempts to sort out and was finally traced do a dodgy bonnet catch.
After this the wing mirror decided it would try and fall off so I got them to tighten that up for me. It had never been knocked by anyone so god knows what caused that.
Recently I've had an issue with the front suspension squeaking. It has now been in 3 times for this problem. First time they claim to have replaced bushes along the front ARB. This didn't sort the issue and has now been in 2 times since with no luck.
Also, the other week I was driving along the A59 and hit a bump in the road as I was overtaking someone. When I turned to return to my lane after the overtake the car felt awful. I actually pulled over as I thought I had a flat tyre or had bent my wheel! Ford can't find an issue there either. I have had the tracking checked and it hasn't sorted it.
The best way I could describe it to them was that after I have turned, it feels like there is still momentum left in the rear of the car and it seems to move. They told me it could be the tyres causing this. Now, to me, that means they're implying it's over steer. It most certainly is not. Mainly because oversteer is fun, and this really isn't!
I can't wait to get enough money for a 200sx!

Re: Useless car
Ah, the joy of cars. Stupid little problems that annoy you.
However, the rear suspension doesnt sound right. Have you jacked it up and had a look for yourself?

Re: Useless car
Having a look myself wouldnt help as I know nothing about cars. I just drive them. Lol
It's irritating though, i dont feel safe driving the car how i used to do at the moment.
Front suspension noise wasn't found by Stoneacre after being in 3 times so im trying another dealership next week to see if they're any better

Re: Useless car
If they don't fix the problem make a complaint about them to ford customer services, once customer services are involved they will have to try everything to fix it and help you out
