Heh. Yeah but dont go for those cheap chinese imitation sound systems. You might end up signing your death warrant there. |

There's more to this than meets the eye. After all the Figo was Car of the Year 2010 on T-BHP! |
Haha, No-no I think I didn't phrase my words right let me correct myself here.
These issues are pretty common in all the figos.
My gut tells me that atleast 80% of the figos have all the problems reported here by us and only a handful of the owners like myself, Dinesh, vinboy and maybe a few others are smart enough to know that these issues are unacceptable for any new car.
Ford doesn't want to accept these problems and puts us in a little box and wants to wait until warranty of the car ends.
So if you look at it that way his car is not a lemon. We should start counting how many good
"trouble free" figos are being made!!
There was a post here by another Bhpian who just took delivery of his white figo and from the very first day the head light assembly is fogging up!
Let me see if I can find that post.
Rest of our county follows the herd mentality. My neighbor says its good so it must be good. Its got car of the year award so it must be a wonderful
troublefree car to own. And then there are others who just dont care.
Thanks for the reply Dinesh, and let me welcome you aboard the troubled figos club.

Mine got rectified too a large extent after visiting the dealership over and over again for rectification of the same issue and going through the acceptance/non acknowledgement 'drama' created by dealership and Ford`s RM for western region both.
some sound still there... but Yes ! the music system helps in this case.

Man if you ever find a fix to these then please let me know

mine is hard from day 1. drove a 30000kms driven figo yesterday. its much more precise and smooth. even Ford`s SA acknowledged it and they have been acknowledging the same from past many times, but Yet i await a proper solution of the same.
Trust me they will get more rough and Hard as you reach towards the 30,000kms mark as your`s have already started to get rough now.

You sir are starting to scare me. I fear what will happen tomorrow.

Their body shop is the worst. people are unaccountable for their mistakes and most of the times they simply ignore your request for detailed description for the reason such misdeeds occurring at service bay or bodyshop for that matter.

After a small paint job I noticed that parts of the door had no paint & no primer I could see the bare metal of the body.

mine were never changed. Feels totally uninspiring. I have given up on this issue.
|
ah OK, Mine were changed at 7,000 or something because the original ones were making too much sound.

when i apply brake at a slow speed, it makes sound as if these brakes are of some 10 year old lorry. Hand Brakes especially during monsoon, get stuck on to tyres. its like even if disengage the HANDBRAKE, it would still remain applied on the car`s wheels and would raise the whole back side of the car and only after heavy acceleration, it would let the car loose.
its happening from past 2 monsoons that i have faced with this car.
|
This happened only once, when I didn't use the car for 6-7 days but thankfully never happened again.
Quote:
did they provide any resolution for the same ?
|
I haven't gone to them yet. Booking a service slot has become more difficult than getting an appointment with a good doctor these days.
Quote:
They say that to me very bluntly. i say i cant accept such things. my friends mock me due to this man.
|
Apparently there is a fix to this problem. The newer figos don't have this problem. The springs are different and they don't make any kar kar sounds. But you will have to really push them to these changed.
I have bigger issues to handle like the headlights fogging up the leak in the front windshield.

anyways though its a really bad car... engine is good though |
Im not so lucky, I drive a 1.2 Petrol! the engine is the worst engine among the 1.2s
I have just 1 question to all figo owners here, What happens when warranty on the car ends? I can see both small and big major parts failing withing the first year. What happens in 3-4 years?
In our old car parts started failing at only 80,000 KM (7-9 years) of trouble free ownership.
Here is the link and picture to the headlamps fogging up on a new figo.
