Default Re: What problems have you had with your Mondeo?

My MA XR5 had the well known water in hatch issue plus an early failure to start, the former Ford Aust decided was "as per design" so would not fix, the latter took 3 weeks to fix as no spares in Australia at he time, MA also has broken centre console catch, the MB has an improved design, I suspect in response to many failures of this catch in the MA.
MB XR5 no problems thus far.(just over 2 years of ownership from new)
My theory on the time for repairs is that Ford Australia has no interest in the Mondeo so does not provide proper training to the technicians to create a perception that the Mondeo has electrical issues, in a final forlorn attempt to save the Falcon.
The lack of advertising seems to back this up, plenty of publicity for Fiesta and Focus, but Mondeo doesn't even feature on the dealer adverts in the free newspapers, just Falcon with some low tech freebies and this month's special badge.
You dealers might want to argue otherwise?!!!!!!!!!!
