The steering column universal joint seized.
The speedometer mechanism failed.
The suspension went solid.
Corrosion was all over the place, and we do not live near the sea!
Ford did not want to know about the faults as they said they should be expected from a car of this age; when it was only two years old?
My steering joint seized too and nearly crashed the car.
ML.
I totally sympathise with you, my wife has a 1999 ford ka and the rust on this car is unreal. I have never known a car to deteriorate as fast as this, we have had problem after problem like passenger side footwell water leak, spark plug snapping into head (common fault),windscreen wiper motor burnt out door handles snapping etc, etc, etc.I have had a guts full of the main dealers they are not interested in the least, once they've got your money bugger off as far as they are concerned. No more fords for us I'd rather walk.
