1995 Ford Escort LX review from North America
"Many problems"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
1) Check engine light.
2) Pulls to the right.
3) Passenger side seat belt gets jammed.
4) Winding noise coming from the steering wheel.
5) Clunking clicking noise from the driver's side tire - the Ford dealership where I bought this claims they can't find anything wrong with this car. I've been with the service man while the check engine light has come on and he has been "like where, I don't see anything"!
I bought this car cause it was a good price I should have known better than to buy any kind of Ford product It was the worst thing I have ever done. I'm sure when the warranty runs out in a few months they will find all the problems plus some.
General comments?
I can say this, for this Escort it rides good and the build is quite good, however this car has no power at all, you can forget about passing anything on a 2 lane road cause it's not going to happen.
