I have a wonderful 11 months run with my Mondeo XR5 with no complaints and I have been nothing but impressed by the car.......
Until last Friday..... The car is my work vehicle and has just clocked up 30 K in the 11 months I have had it. These are predominately sedate Eastlink trips with a few longer family trips. I was travelling back from a work visit in the country and the car stopped and the main serpentine drive belt had failed. It had shredded itself. I have since had feedback that the belt is not covered by warranty as it is a wear and tear item??? I in all my years 30 of driving I have not had one fail. With the age of the car I would be surprised if it should have worn and torn this early. What I would like to know is if anyone else has had similar experience. I am in intending to bring this up with for customer service and try and get some clarification on what life expectancy should normally be expected for these parts. I would appreciate some of your experience, and input.  : |
