2000 Ford Fairmont AU review from Australia and New Zealand
"Stay away from AU Fairmont"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Rubber brake pedal keeps falling off whilst driving.
Coolant leaking at fast rate.
Keys have had to be replaced twice.
Drivers door failing to close properly & would sometimes open whilst driving.
General comments?
Vast plastic interior.
Steering wheel too big and feels too plasticky.
Awful styling, has not grown on me.
Rear end prone to coming loose whenever going around roundabouts or tight corners.
Clunky transmission.
