| 1997 | POWER TRAIN | WE HAVE HAD TO REPLACE THE TRANSMISSION THREE TIMES SINCE WE HAVE HAD THE CAR. IT FIRST WENT OUT FOUR MONTHS AFTER WE GOT THE CAR. WE GOT THIS CAR IN MAY OF 2001 FROM UGLY DUCKLING CAR SALES NOW KNOWN AS DRIVETIME. THIS CAR IS DEFINITELY A LEMON. I THINK IT HAS BEEN IN SOME MAJOR ACCIDENTS.... |
| 2001 | SUSPENSION:REAR:SPRINGS | MY CAR IS ONLY 5 YEARS OLD AND BOTH REAR STRUTS FAILED. ALSO THE RIGHT REAR SPRING BROKE AND PUNCTURED THE TIRE. WHY ARE THE FRONT SPRINGS BE ON RECALL AND THE REAR SPRINGS ARE NOT? HAD TO REPLACE BOTH REAR SPRING & STRUTS. $521.00, AND TIRE $124.) I HAVE BEEN TOLD BY MANY IF THIS HAPPEN ON THE HWY, I COULD HAVE FLIP MY CAR CAUSE A MAJOR ACCIDENT! NOW CAR DOES NOT WANT TO START. I TOOK IT TO FOUR FORD DEALERSHIP, THEY ALL SAID THE SAME THING. FIRST THEY WOULD HAVE TO RUN DIAGNOSTIC TEST,THEN DEPENDING ON THE RESULTS OF THE TEST AND A TECH TO DRIVE THE CAR. MAYBE THEY CAN FIX IT. AND TO TOP EVERYTHING ALL THE FORD DEALERSHIPS SENT EVERYBODY IN THE SHOP HOME,BECAUSE THEY DID NOT HAVE ANYTHING TOO DO ? *NM |
