2000 Ford Escort ZX2 2.0

Summary:

Beware of this piece of JUNK

Faults:

Front brakes have been giving me problems since day one and the Ford guys say they're suppose to do that!

Transmission has been acting up, they said it was the computer telling it to do that.

The A/C is weak and won't cool right, they say it's the weather and that all cars are like that?

The tape deck is messed up, they said they had one ordered, that was a month ago and it still isn't in.

General Comments:

I wrote this after seeing another person was having the same problems with their car, this must mean they are all like this. What gets me the most is that how the clowns at Ford say that it is suppose to be that way? I mean if that's the way a NEW FORD is then I don't think I want another one ever. I mean my niece had a 95 Aspire, that was a pretty good car and I thought that all the Fords would be that good, then after I bought my ZX2 I found out that Kia made the Aspire for Ford. So maybe I should have bought the Kia Sephia or something? I'll know better next time.

Would you buy another car from this manufacturer? No

Jeeze.. where do you guys Live?? That's a bad, and stupid dealer. Around here Fords are Good! I assure you that not all dealers and ZX2's are as bad as you describe. If they were all like that, Ford would have gone bankrupt a long time ago.

I wrecked my ZX2 into a tree at 60mph. Fixed most of it, but it run almost as new.

2000 Ford Escort ZX2 2.0

Summary:

By far the worst car I have ever owned

Faults:

Front brakes, transmission, A/C went out, steering squeals when you turn. Muffler has come loose, window seal leaks and falls off.

General Comments:

Cheap junk that needs to be recalled, by far the worst car I have ever owned. I thought my Neon was junk which it was but this car is worse than that. Ford will NOT fix problems with their cars, I have been back now three times with the transmission and it still slips and rubs when shifting gears. Front brakes are already out.

Would you buy another car from this manufacturer? No

I would like to say that anyone having problems with their ZX2 must not know how to treat their car. I drive a tow truck and have not towed one ZX2 since they came out and nor has anyone I work with.

I'm the VERY proud owner of a 2000 ZX2 S/R which just loves to go out and smoke the import cars almost as much as those ugly Focus things...

VERY GOOD JOB FORD... it's good to see Ford putting some power and finess behind a once boring Escort.
