Cars and problems you've had with them?
Besides regular maintenance, what problems have you had with your vehicles?
Ill start...
2013 Ford Fiesta
- Radio failed at approximately 200k. Would cause a loud crack/pop/screech even with the car off. Even turning off the power would not rectify it
- Drivers side seat rail broke at about 210k because they use a plastic holder with ball bearings thats non servicable
- Headlight shroud on both sides detached inside the headlight (Headlights are stock)
- Lower control arm failed at approximately 200k
- 02 sensor blown
- Throttle body required replacing at 215k
- suspension had a knock from new. Changed suspension to monroe quick struts and upgraded the sway bar links. Did not fix the issue
- Easy fill system has been nothing but problems.
- Fords service plan does not communicate between dealers. Burned through a set of rear tires within the first 40k.
- Hood seam weld on front has rusted since the first 100k.
- Fuse box corroded causing headlight to fail (fuse snapped inside the block due to all the corrosion). Ford just recalled the fuse block now, 6 years later
2012 Mazda 3 skyactive
- Carbon build up within the first 25k of ownership resulting in idle issues. Mazda stated they were doing me a favour this time by chemically cleaning
- Failed Pedal position sensor (120k)
- Paper thin sheet metal = dents everywhere
- fuel door seized shut. Pop pin required lubing
2007 Accord V6
- Random transmission fault code (standard)
- Pretty built proof and sold at 200k
2007 Honda fit
- No issues
2003 Cavalier
- Lease, no issues.
