"A car for the tip!"

What things have gone wrong with the car?

When I first bought the car I thought it was good, until I started getting a few problems!

After about 10,000 miles the electric windows failed, 15,000 mirrors snaped off when I tried to alter them, 20,000 dashboard lights failed, Back left rear seltbelt jamed and couldn't fix it, 50,000 coolant went, and ford took ages to fix it!

General comments?

I'll never buy a Ford again as I think there cheap quality and poor build!

I don't want a car that's going to cost more than I paid for it and a bad dealership. The cars not even that fast and if you should want a Ford Mondeo opt for a V6, I wouldn't personally buy one i'd rather choose something more reallible.

Three faults in 50,000 miles? Hardly the stuff of nightmares if you ask me.

I couldn't agree more the car is obviously not up for the job of modern transport I used to own one and generally I had the same faults it is a disgrace and depreciation is terrible I spent £18000 on it new. I sold it one year later and I was left with a measly £7000; disappointed and angry to say the least.

Excuse me, but my dad owns a Mondeo and that's never had any serious problems and goes well, and I own a 1991 Sierra and that drives beautifully. I don't think you've done too bad if you ask me!

I would love to see someone adjust the mirrors and then they just snap off. I'm laughing just thinking about it.
