Happy Ford Owner

[grigor]

Saw this when I ventured over the border. Obviously not a happy customer.

But how’s the Pacific Highway???……Averaged about 60 for the whole trip with the blue suited revenue collectors hiding behind a tree every couple of K’s.

Got a laugh from the fixourbloodyroads.com sign

[Bluprint]

A few of those have been around for a coupleof years now

I think it was ACA that did a feature on some guy with a black VU Commodore SS ute that had a huge "THIS CAR IS A LEMON" sticker up the side of the car

At least the guy's got new car warranty behind him, I know what it's like to be stuck with an old lemon that needed a fix every week or two

[Staunch]

lmao

classic

[leech_]

gold

[Gts-t]

Hhahaha thats way to funny, takes some fury to get that done and then spend time driving it around.

[funkymonkey]

lol I'd love to see a skyline driver try that shit about their car... "sent a letter to NISSAN, they offered me a pat on the back and told me to fcuk off and die". At least he got a free service, If it was that faulty I'd be selling it as soon as the warranty period was over.

LMAO :lol:

[dezz]

i wouldnt be advertising it. what a f**k head. good luck selling it buddy :lol:

[RBFIRE]

LOL,

Maybe he is a HOLDEN FANS, :lol:

[MR R33]

couple of years back someone did the same thing but outside marshalls mercedes in parra, he had a white CLK and parked it out the front with stickers all over saying it was a lemon

[Maxx]

xr6 turbo is the only aussie car i will buy, maybe not

[GTR R35]

The XR6Turbo is a awsome car and great value for money.

Very few have problems, but the ones that do are generally fixed under the new car warranty. I know the guy who owns that car and his problems are mainly due to his pathetic dealer. This seems to be the biggest problem with Ford is their woeful dealer service network. They will try to weasel their way out of warranty work, but if you are persistant, the problems are fixed eventually.

My XR6T is my first Ford, but I have just ordered a FPV typhoon as a replacement, so I guess you could say I am happy overall. While I had some issues with my car, I did not take the dealers BS and all the problems were sorted out.

[benm]

I wonder if that bloke printed up more stickers and stuck them on the back of other XR6T's how many of those owners would actually remove them?

[PHATR32]

what a cockhead. either this is a joke, or this guy is some sort of a holden lover.

4 of my mates have turbo xr6s (mk1 and mk2s) and missis has a mk2 xr6 and i havnt seen any problems with em.

[sproosy]

welcome to last year!

[dezz]

welcome to last year!

<{POST_SNAPBACK}>

i was going to say the same thing, but its a different car this time...both were XR6T's though...

that being said, thats 2 out of a shit load that have been sold...every manufacturer has lemons, thats what happens in mass production.

being a big ford fan i was on a ford forum for some time before coming here and buying a skyline, and ive heard all about fords terrible excuse for customer service.

they got the cars right with the BA series, but customer service went completely down the drain

[MR R33]

yeh i rekon xr6t are good, the problem is the production line, usually the faulty ones are the ones that they rush on a friday orvo to fininsh building, or they leave them on a friday arvo half done for someone else to fininsh on a monday, i have found thats the common problem.

[Dingo]

Oh theres definately lots of lemons around. Back in Feburary 2005 Motor tested a Typhoon and the first day they had it the clutch f**ked up hardcore and couldnt be driven so Ford rushed them out another typhoon and after 8 laps around winton the Clutch in that f**ked up aswell and couldnt be driven at all.

hahahhaha ford Accused them of flat shifting (Keeping the gas on while sihfting gears), while they said they didnt do that at all they raised the issue of why this wouldnt of then been tested anyhow knowing that certain drivers would do this.

Seen a Territory on the northern beaches with a big similar sticker saying what a piece of shit lemon it was raving on for ages and ages.

[dezz]

that was the first run of typhoons. they recalled them and stopped production, fixed the issue and re released them

[ferni]

ahah yeah here is the other one.
