Knocking from the steering wheel when pulling away or speeding up on 2nd. Fixed by garage as per a Ford TIB. It's a very common problem.
Leaking rear door.
Dash mounted cup holder stuck in, greased by the dealer and seems about 90% reliable now.
Wind noise on drivers door, living with it until the service is next due.
Not quite as pokey as my Mk2.
Brakes no where near as good as the mk2, others have noticed it and I have also noticed it on other Mondeo's I have test driven.
Climate control works very well, it won't blast you with cold air on a cold day until the engine has warmed up!
Very good seats, good upper back support.
Had sticking throttle plate replaced, still get water leaking in behind door cards. All common problems. Also had rusting around the bottom of a door and under b-piller and on hatch, all done under corrosion warranty.
