2000 Ford Mondeo 5 door Ghia X (Mark 2) review from UK and Ireland
"I hope this is a rogue or this the last Ford I will buy!"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Rear air bag module was replaced.
Rubber pads placed on the inside of the hatch door to stop knocking sounds when driving.
Replaced the sunroof switch panel housing as a rattle was coming from it, however, it still rattles!
The steering wheel symmetry was bad and is not resolved.
The fuel consumption is very poor and is not resolved.
The handbrake needed adjustment after the car rolled into a wall!
When the A/C is off, the ducts are not closed off and it blows potentially dangerous hot air on to your legs - not resolved.
General comments?
When I first saw the "new" Mondeo at the Birmingham NEC in late 2000, I was impressed with the aesthetics and build quality. The former opinion remains, however, having driven Mondeos for 6 years, I am most disappointed with the many rattles and problems I have been experiencing since day 1. To add insult to injury my regular servicing department appears not to offer answers to the problems that are acknowledged and frankly I am fed up!
