Well my BF GT arrived from Queensland on Tuesday last week. Couldnt have been a happier man. On saturday 4 days after getting the green beauty i was parked in a friends drive way and about to take off and BAM BAM the driveshaft snapped in half along with some part of my gear box. After 2 days of being absolutely devastated, i took it to ford this morning and there is an outstanding driveshaft recall on it and have agreed to replace and fix all problems and parts free of charge! A short but interesting story i thought i might share with everybody.

What year and month is the car - auto or manual.
There was an issue with the tailshafts rusting from the inside out. Good to see it sorted and they looked after you. |

It's not an uncommon problem, the same thing happened to my Fathers early FG XR6.

This is a shocking testament to poor quality control.
I would be seriously pizzed off. |

Ford is not the only company who has recalls. Every manufacturer has them.
