2001 Ford Mondeo LX review from UK and Ireland
"Good handling and Comfy, unreliable"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
The car had problems starting at 15,000 miles. Took it to Ford Dealership who plugged a computer into the car to find the fault. Said that they re calibrated the engine management system. Same fault occurred again at 20,000 miles and regularly since then - never really fixed.
25,000 miles - Windscreen wipers.
30,000 miles - Rear windscreen water jet no longer working - repaired.
50,000 miles - Front suspension.
61,500 miles - Rear axle.
62,000 miles - Clutch.
General comments?
The Mondeo is a fine and comfortable car, but is a bit unreliable at the moment never out the garage. But I am left a bit dissapointed with everything that has gone wrong with the car.
I had a Ford Focus before the Mondeo and nothing went wrong with it. I think I will go for another make of car next time.
Quite thirsty on fuel.
