@CrashJSTest Another dangerous thing about Focuses is their rear suspension setup of the upper and lower control arms being exposed to rust. The arms literally powder away into orange flakes of metal. Its really dangerous I've worked underneath Fords and I've seen this happen. The control arms (Like double wishbones) help keep the bodyshell raised and attached to the rear wheels and once they break away from the wheels via rusting its a terrifying experience, worse then a high-speed blow out!
@1ns4ne1d10t If the control arms rust so much they break, the coil spring between the lower and upper control arms will be forced through the lower control arm. And the entire bodyshell and weight of the car will slam down on the rear axel possibly destroying the differentials and bending the entire rear axel not to mention all the other damage that goes with it on the mounting hubs and the actual wheels themselves. If you want this to happen to you, don't buy a Focus!
@CrashJSTest Ford owners would say "Its because the wheel wasn't tightened on the hub properly" I've seen more then my fair share of Ford CV ball joints going on the heaps with the wheels falling inwards. Not to mention weak trackrods, wheelbearings and steering racks. You should see Focuses then, their steering racks, track rods and bearings are almost lethal. For such a "Drivers car" with "Driver involvement" you'd think they would be built to be safe for throwing about, but they aren't.
@CrashJSTest My neibour doesn't trust Ford he won't touch them with a 10ft Barge Pole he'd rather have a British LR Defender. During his time towing and off roading he has seen lots of calamities with Fords and its enough to put him off for life. There are many times he's rescued stricken Fords one time his step son had to rescue a 4WD Ford Kuga TDCi with the surf because it couldn't climb a hill in snow. His Surf overtook it going up the hill and he had to pull it up. Don't buy Fords!
@CrashJSTest My neibour only ever buys Jap 4x4's he's had loads of them. He's got 2x Pajero 2.5D's which he keeps one for spares then he had a 1993 Hilux Surf 3.0D that his step son sold him and he's just bought a Nissan Patrol. Jap are the only ones he trusts to pull his outboard ribs from the water. He says he saw an F150 Powerjoke fall in getting a boat out and it took a Landrover defender to pull that + the rib out of the water. A powerjoke couldn't even match an English Landrover ffs lol
@CrashJSTest Jesus christ that Ford Explorer was quite reliable then. 144,000 miles for any Ford is indestructable cockroach milage, Ford deterioration begins at the turn of a key... My neibour had a 2.5D Pajero with 240,000 miles on it and it spent life towing boats and not ONE thing went wrong on it, oh hang on, no it wasn't very reliable according to Ford owners... The bulbs needed changing and the pads and disks needed doing... Lol
@stingraystud It makes me laugh when Ford fans say "You don't know what you are on about moosh, Ford Mondeo's are reliable" Er... Yeah sure they are...
@stingraystud ROFL They always come up with some lame excuse "Its only a battery, its only an alternator" they call Ford, Ford for a reason. ^Thats your reason why^ If you want reliability you buy Japanese and if you want quality you buy German. You buy a Ford for a laugh and a joke or if you have no imagination. Its funny how people take up for Ford though. "No they are as good as jap and german" errr no. Ive got a BMW and Mondeos are old rusty shopping carts in comparison to it.
@stingraystud Ahh yes not to worry its nothing too major... Just the odd doors falling off here and there and a gearbox dropping out from under it. Nothing too unreliable... ahh there we go the brakes just stopped working... doesn't matter it has airbags so its perfectly fine to crash...
@stingraystud Just out of curiosity have you ever driven these cars? I have. Last 1 I drove was a silver 1.8 Zetec. Never again!!! Brakes were dangerously diabolical and the gearbox was shot to pieces. Not to mention half the interior gadgets didn't work including the heated windscreen. Half of the fuel filler caps don't open because they are electric. And the seats never go up, down or forwards because they are electric too. They are a right good laugh to drive because they are shit. lol
@Nakke144 Can I offer you some kind advice? This one has blatently broken down and the video is geared towards knocking Fords reliability so I don't think this is the right place to start defending Ford Mondeo's... Unless you wish to be laughed at...
