1999 Ford Escort ZX2 review from North America
"A big piece of junk that costs over 200 a month to cause you trouble!"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Lets see...
The windows leak.
The windows don't shut right causing the door to not close right.
The heater broke.
The tape deck broke.
The steering wheel squeaks.
The car knocks when I turn (but won't it duplicate for the service dept.!)
It dies while driving it.
Didn't start up a few times.
Vents blow themselves shut when on anything higher than low.
Not what I expected from a new car that is a year old!
General comments?
I do not recommend this car to anyone who needs to get to work or appreciates the value of a dollar. Thank you Ford for selling me a bigger piece of crap than I traded in to you!
