I don’t get the negative reaction to this. Car companies often don’t fix things they should under warranty even where it’s a significant known issue. What would Porsche do? They’d fix all the American cars and then pretend there was nothing wrong with the European cars. Hats off to ford for their response.
Yep this is significant and Ford should be quietly clapped. Think of how badly subaru treated all the 2.5 engines that failed. Compared to that Ford are doing the right thing and that’s only a good thing. KarlMac said:
So, ok the previous ST/RS ford took the bomb proof Volvo 2.3t lump, pissed about with it and managed to make the cylinder liners paper thin and subject to cracking.
They then take a reasonably reliable Mazda engine, make a big song and dance about a new cylinder head, which them promptly becomes the weak point of the whole car.
Fix Or Repair Daily indeed, remind me why people bang on about these things again?
You berk. Don't know where to start with that lot. They then take a reasonably reliable Mazda engine, make a big song and dance about a new cylinder head, which them promptly becomes the weak point of the whole car.

Hmmm I see this as a cost limitation exercise
They have realised it's a design issue and are spending a lot on providing new engines. Soooo they make an announcement in the hope they can swap the gasket and/or head before the block warps as a proactive measure.
Feck all to do with reassurance for residuals etc.

HAHA to all the bellends on here who took the Michael out of me for ages saying how deluded I was to think Ford were a bunch of jokers and should sort this out.
FORD have admitted to being jokers. Admitted it! I know it probably dont make you happy to think of someone not getting scammed by a huge american company with millions of dollars but oh well youll have to find something else to get rood about, im phoning Ford up when they open tomorrow to get this sorted just like I said they should all along.
So to be clear, Ford (your god some of you in fact probably most of you on here for some reason) actually agree that the RS is a bag of pants. Can't wait to get shot of mine and buy a Megane RS!

Car company fixes faulty cars in warranty
Isn't really news in my book
Indeed.Isn't really news in my book
I think it would be even more incredible if PH didn't mention Ford's announcement!
I guess they should have never mentioned Subaru's ringland failure as this would also have been a 'warranty' topic?
