2000 Ford Escort ZX2 review from North America
"Beware of this piece of JUNK"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
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.
