2000 Ford Escort ZX2 review from North America
"By far the worst car I have ever owned"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
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.
