2004 Ford Falcon XT sedan review from Australia and New Zealand
"A dud"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Electronic throttle died and had to get the car towed.
Leaky water pump
Disk brakes needed to be machined at 7,000 clicks and due for another machining again.
Rear diff leak.
Drivers window failed to work on some occations.
Some interior trim has come loose.
Rough idle in cold starts.
Annoying rattle near passenger seat.
General comments?
This car is not worth the trouble sure its comfortable and not too bad on the fuel. But the quality is just not good enough. For a car that was rated as COTY in 2002 this car is just the pits.
