Dey! 1 Wildtrak ais kurang gula …
Based on PT’s last posting on the Ranger and the so many complaints about this car being a King of Breakdowns, I rather stay away from this brand.
No point I pay Rm145k for a car that is always breaking down, parts taking 3 months to come, and terrible GLC mentality Sime Darby after sales service.
Based on your comments everywhere, you’re a perennial liar and a suspected Toyota salesman.
Yeah, bro Fordist. We have known of him. Serial joker and liar.
These days you see many 4×4 drivers driving recknessly and arrogantly at high speed on the road and bullying other sedan cars They think they are driving hi class Audi, BMW or Merz SUV on the road. Even cx3, HRV are more premium car than what they are driving. Work harder to get a proper SUV.
My Ranger cost me RM35k for the gearbox when it died on me. Warranty also expired and cannot cover
Bro fordist, get a life and stop spreading your lies and hatred here. Go jalan2 with you not so ecoboost ford. Or u better go jalan2 to all workshop in mesia and ask them how was ford’s cars problem n parts. Except ford own workshop la, sure they will say everything is good good good, good lie like u larrr bro fordist. Dont just be keyboard warrior dont know anything and tembak here and there, go n ask n see urself, espcially borneo sabah sarawak there u go ask people there how is ford doin. Go go go.
Who ask you go outside workshop for repair & service? And then you blame the brand when it breakdown easily? You want cheap of course you get cheap quality servicing and more problems. I service at Ford SC and never have any major problems. Plenty of others as well among my kakis. You have problem from servicing at crappy outside workshops, you take it with the workshop. Its not Ford or the car fault.
Poor Fordist. He is in denial. Either a Ford salesman or Ford owner who cannot accept his RV jatuh
Poor Fordist the salesman. Nobody wants a car that kong all the time
Poor Fordist no idea to lie anymore. Majority ford owner regret buying ford, only the liar Fordist being denial and ignorant,k ena hantam only, more dislike lagi. Poor Fordist salesman who cant sell every month. U pindah to toyota or honda la Fordist hahahaha. Sure u alot sell toyota cars later. Then change ur name toyotist or hondist lar hor lols.
Ford is dead in Malaysia. See MAA sales figures. The company is dying. All models got near ZERO sales except ranger. Ranger also sales declining because of autobox continuous failures
My 2017 Ranger has been in the workshop more days than in my porch.
Disgusting
I am a Ford owner and I can confirm you have to wait 3 months for parts.
Bro Fordist, pls settle your problems out of this forum. We don’t want to hear your anger issues with others here or your lies
I see many 4×4 install with cheap LED at front and at bad and flying on the road. There are not use to carry construction good.
May be it is a cheap 4 wheel drive as their family car. They think their car is space ship. Hope some 4×4 driver follow the traffic rule.
I like Ford cars but one big problem, Ford got no RV. You buy it, you buy it for life. Buy today RM140k, tomo sell can only get RM60k.
Not for Ranger
I have no problems with RV. I am well aware of that issue when I got mine Focus, but the car is worth the money that I spent and the driving pleasure is much better than any Japanese. To me, that’s more important than any RV.
BTW, please use a different name.
My Focus broke down 3 times already because gearbox problem. Gearbox jam middle of Federal Highway. Fed up of Ford brand. Auta brand
Worse part is, you got to wait 3 months for your parts. And they hold your car for 3 months until the parts come. 3 months you got to take Grab to work
Oh is it now? Why is your story almost exactly same as Lim See Leng in previous blogpost? Seems highly unlikely coincidental or perhaps suspicious of what you both said, and I do heard of same persons using many fake names. Please tell truth and not stories.
Yes bro. Can see pattern its same dupe but with diff name. Enjoy ur car and dun care about their fail-ry tales.
I think most of these fake names are coming from Honda Salesmen. Always talk bad mouth about Ford as well. Not only that, these Honda salesmen also talk bad mouth about Hyundai, Kia, BMW, Mercedes, Volvo, Toyota, Proton, Peugeot and other carmakers.
Absolutely correct. Honda Salesmen are always very snobbish, very proud, very arrogant who bash Toyota, Proton, Ford, BMW and other carmakers too.
Honda sales has nothing against Ford. They don’t have pickups to directly compete with Ranger or 7seater SUV to compete with Everest. What I can see is mostly Toyota salesmen whacking Ford and creating fake stories.
Honda salesman and Ford salesman are all bored here. But Honda sales are good, so no need to bad mouth Ford.
But Ford sales are kaput. So there is reason to bad mouth Honda.
Ford is a failed product. History repeats.20 years ago after Ford Telstar, Ford died for 20 yrs in Malaysia.
Now history repeats again
I hope SDAC improve their servis. Waiting 3 months for parts is a nuisance
I wish all Ford owners all the best. I had a Ford Escape. I was always waiting for parts. 3 months to 6 months
All their car broke down because they drive like F1 on the road. So proud of their vehicle may be?
Does not read the same. Different words. Also, what is wrong with quoting something you have read elsewhere that you found to be useful and true?
This is how you research. Maybe local way of researching is different.
You don’t “quote” someone & call it your own “experience”. That is just a lie.
Sure will alot of gearbox issue with the 10 spd transmission.
There is a 6speed manual option bro.
But 2.0 don’t come with manual transmission.
This one got RV ah?
Also ah got class one ah?
Remember my friend’s ranger GB broke down on the dot after 3 yrs. RM18k per GB. Never been off road, wrote to Sime Darby, they reject any compensation. Then sent lawyer letter only willing to allow warranty.
same thing happened to my xl manual gearbox
Nissan navara pun ok liao…
guys, still facing a problem of spares and GB?
