Faults:

Car was pre registered by Ford dealer in 2007.

Car never sold.

I bought it in May this year.

Clutch packed in 3 weeks after buying it.

At under a 1000 miles, Ford are trying to say it's wear and tear, yes, wear & tear @ under 1000 miles and no towing.

And they say they are not covering it under warranty either.

Further enquiries reveals I'm not alone with this problem, Oh NO! It would seem from reading other owners complaints, the clutch just isn't up to the job, and of course Ford don't want to know, even though they know there is a problem and have since had to modify the clutch in the current model.

So Ford's 3 year warranty isn't 3 years because I've been told the 2nd. & 3rd. years are very limited in what Ford in fact do cover.

General Comments:

Disgusted with my treatment, and don't buy a FORD.

A Canadian once told me FORD stands for FIX OR REPAIR DAILY. I know now unfortunately what he was getting at.

Faults:

I was reversing up my driveway, which is on a incline, and was slippery at the time, when the clutch pedal dropped to the floor and there was a burning smell.

On investigation the clutch was burnt out and the fly wheel was damaged. All of this was not covered on the warranty, and I was told by Ford that it was my fault for being a bad driver.

The garage bill came to £2000 and I had absolutely no help from Ford whatsoever, indeed it took a month to fix the vehicle (awaiting parts) and had no courtesy vehicle.

It is only when something goes wrong and you need help you realise how truly bad that Ford customer service is. I would never ever buy a Ford vehicle again after my experience with them, and am in the process of changing my vehicle with another manufacturer.

Faults:

None.

General Comments:

Very happy with this truck. One of the last mark 2

Rangers. It's the Ford Ranger Wildtrak; leather seats, climate control, roller shutter on the back,

all the chrome bull bars, side steps.

Tows very well too.

Faults:

Strange whistling noise from under the bonnet at 2300RPM upward. The dealer has fitted 2 replacement turbo's, reconditioned fuel injection pump, new viscous fan coupling, and lots of other parts fitted to try to fix the problem. The dealer has admitted that there is a loud noise from the engine, but cannot find out what it is. Ford have now told me that they will not be allowing the dealer to do anymore work on the vehicle under warranty, and that the noise happens in all Rangers.

Rear diff has clonked from new, and have been told by the dealer that they will not fix it until it actually breaks.

General Comments:

The dealer has had the vehicle for a total of over 5 weeks, and I have driven other Rangers and none of them make this noise.

I am totally disgusted with the way this has been dealt with by Ford Motor Co.

I will not buy another Ford in the future.
