1995 Ford Escort Encore review from UK and Ireland
"Big waste of money"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Brakes squeak all the time, this is very annoying.
Two weeks after I bought the car the alternator overcharged the battery and broke (the dealer tryed to force me to pay for the battery).
Uneven tire wear.
Air bag light keeps flashing.
General comments?
Ford dealers need shooting! They are unhelpful, arrogant and they always blame the owner for the various faults which occur with the car. I will never get a car from a Ford dealer again.
