2000 Ford Escort ZX2 review from North America
"Ford treats customers BADLY!"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
The problem that keeps coming back is the faulty transmission on this car, it has been back in the shop 5 times since I bought it less than a year ago and this last time it was in there for almost a month while they stuck me with a Ford Aspire. They said it was a sensor that controls the transmission that is going out and they don't seem to know why it keeps going out on me.
The second thing is the rear brakes keep sticking or locking up on me, yet another problem they cant seem to figure out.
The last problem that bothers me is that the A/C is way too weak in hot weather.
General comments?
I love this car, it's a great performer but I will NEVER buy another Ford because they treat their buyers badly.
