I work for a rental company supervising mechanics. All late model cars. We all despise Ford. Quality is getting worse and worse, we had to non-op the Escapes 5 TIMES for recalls for various things, including fires (fuel injector leaks, solution: make a drain hole!) Even their POS 4 cylinder turbo mustangs are awful, good power but you cannot even set to TDC without: removing AC compressor, using specialty tool 1 to lock pin in engine hole, specialty tool 2 to align crank sensor, and the dealer scantool. They are anti right-to-repair and are even spying on you in their new cars and selling your driving info to cops and insurance companies. DO NOT BUY A FORD.

@Waccoon 2 месяца назад

I've had similar problems trying to update the GPS maps in a relative's Fusion. System software update needs to be updated first, but it keeps going into a loop and freezes. It's frustrating, because there is no progress indicator to let you know if the update is installing, frozen, or fails to even start. This is especially bad since the engine has to be running throughout the entire update which supposedly takes an hour. Even the dealers go through this same procedure, wasting gasoline for no good reason. There should be no reason why the engine needs to be running, since the update shouldn't take more than 5 minutes, should work if the car is attached to a charger, and there should be a fail-safe to prevent corruption if the battery dies or any other error happens. As an ex-web developer, who has seen some really terrible software design, I can tell you that Ford's software is utter garbage.

Raised the car. No play in the tires. No vibrations. Tread wear is normal. Tires are about a little over a year old (Kellys). Spun the wheels with the car raised in neutral-spins smooth. Shook the wheels up and down, left and right-no play. Tried aggressive lane changing while the sound was on-no changes in the sound. Transmission fluid is changed every year regardless of mileage. Transfer case fluid is changed every year regardless of mileage. Engine oil Is changed twice a year. Can’t figure it out.

I remember in high school getting my first car from my grandma which was a 1978 Honda Civic, the car did donuts over bonfires after football games and kept on running all through school. My grandma was pissed at me when I bought a 69 Camaro, she just didn't understand that grandpa and I liked working on it and she thought we were crazy

They had employee discount when I bought my fusion. 140000+ miles now. Turned out to be a pretty decent car. It's turning into a rust bucket though.

Ford is awful. My son bought a new Maverick and within 20K miles both front axles had been replaced.

I talked to a really good mechanic and evidently Ford F series have put a plastic belt inside the engine that will fail and be extremely expensive to fix when it fails.

Opel: I started with Opel, overall 4 In the moment I have an Astra H (the successor of the Astra G) and as "toy" car a 1994 Calibra V6. The Astra H has 105 PS, in the meantime 150,000 km All in all no problems as such, even though pretty neglected it is rusty on the bottom but it is still not rusted through. With care (rent a lift and catch the rust when it starts and cover it with wax or so) you should be able to easily halve the rust. Engine is still OK, gear as well, my idea is not too much throttle from the bottom but from time to time revving without much load more or less blows it free. On the Autobahn you notice that the longer you drive at high speeds, the more it literally "burns" free. Strange is that in the meantime the springs front and back broke, and last year it got pretty costly, with 17 years various stuff had accumolated that then HAD to be done. If these parts now hold for another 17 years, all is OK. I can only recommend that you sometimes look under the car (on a lift, it is worth the money for the rent), more or less in autumn to prepare for the winter, seal up everything, and in spring to get rid of the salt and where small damages occured that were hurt by the salt and treat them at once. As you are rather fresh, one tip: When you come into a situation where it almost went wrong (and we all have them), recapitulate all the factors that came together there and why it worked out, to understand how you can avoid that happening again. For me that awareness ENORMOUSLY helps me. Have fun.

There were forklifts where I worked that were supposed to be able to be radio guided down a few of the really close together shelves. One of them would turn into the shelves when you turned the signal on. My boss said drive it like we do on the wider rows with out the signal making it go straight down the row. I did but the pallet I was hauling kept bumping things sticking out on both sides. Not exactly the same problem but it reminded me of that.

I bought a biggol Ford V8 station wagon back in 1975. It had power steering. It didn't steer itself. The power steering pump DID leak when I bought it, so I rebuilt it. Still no self-steering problems. What in God's name does electronics have to do with power steering?

Factory street cars are designed for a catalytic converter. A lot of times they will have less torque without it there. The camshaft and scavenging are designed around the intake and exhaust.

@Gary-yo4rs 2 месяца назад

Those sort of problems could occur with hydraulic power steering if the torsion bar was bent or damaged on assembly to vehicle. All gears were function checked before release to shipping. Issue with egears being made by suppliers Ford is no longer in full control of all product. E- power steering has been in vehicles over 20 years. Concept is sound. One issue however is that the various performance parameter changes allowed on vehicles today may be the issue. Now the main problem may shift to the controllers. Which Ford may not make. Supplier issues again. Ford needs to spend more time fmea processes within Ford and suppliers to stop such issues. I retired from steering 20 years ago. I now wonder if the have enough steering engineers. Ones got have enough people to stop GIGO errors ya know.

I think a Citroen Traction Avant would be pretty nice, but my better half doesn't know how to drive a car with a standard transmission. Alas. If I wanted something to make the neighbors envious, it would be a Pierce Arrow. [Believe it or not, I once saw one driving down our street.]
