“Re: 2002, Ford zx2 we own a 2002 standard model Ford zx2 that has only 35,500 miles on it. There are three notable problems: 1.the engine idles very roughly 2.the transmission shifts very hard 3.the front driver door has sagged and won?t close completely. All of these issues are the result of poor design and especially poor quality parts. This car, I say again, only has 35,500 miles on it and the problems have been apparent for some time. The car started vibrating almost from day one. The transmission issue I?m told stems from the motor and transmission mounts problems. …”
