Faults:

Seats are badly worn, and 3rd row seat is firmly stuck; there's no moving it.

Front heater will not come on, don't know why. Lights come on for it, but no blower. Back heater works fine.

Car drives and sounds great one day, then sounds and drives like a tractor the next - very unpredictable.

Also thermostat reads cold or middle uncontrollably; just changes whenever it sees fit for no apparent reason. Had it changed, but still does the same thing.

Lights as in dash and headlights start dimming while driving sometimes; have no idea why; it's like a power surge or something.

General Comments:

All in all, the car would actually be great and a comfortable drive if Ford sorted these problems out, considering everywhere I turn, there seems to be problems with the heating and air con; very strange.

Faults:

Excessive smoking from auxiliary diesel pre-heater on cold days.

General Comments:

On the whole a very reliable family car.

Comfortable with plenty of room for seven people, even on long journeys.

Air conditioning in a real boost especially on foreign holiday to France in a heatwave!

Only drawback is excessive smoking from the diesel pre-heater at the rear of the car which sees us disappearing under clouds of smoke on cold mornings until the pre-heater switches off. We also had this problem with our previous Galaxy and Ford never managed to fix it.

Has anyone else experienced this. Any suggestions on how to fix it?
