Ford EcoSport problems never end

<p>I have a 2013 Ford EcoSport and since it got to 90 000km the one thing after the other has started breaking. Ford can give no explanantion other than to say they have never seen anything like it before! In November last year the high pressure fuel pump went and the camshaft had to be replaced. I had the car back for less than 2 days and the catalytic converter went. One month later the high pressure aircon pipe just snapped in half and had to be replaced. A week later in January the gearbox packed up and would not engage 1st gear. Now that has to be replaced. A week later the ignition plug cracked and I lost all power in the vehicle as it jerked its way back to the dealership. All the while Ford has said that it's not their problem as I went over the prescribed kilometres before taking it for its next service. Yes I do admit that this could cause "some" problems, but the issues that I have been faced with, with this car is unprecedented and even the dealership agrees! Unfortunately Ford has refused to acknowledge that there is a HUGE mechanical issue with this car and just denies all responsibility. The car is badly manufactured and for the last four months has spent more time in the workshop than it has on the road. It would appear all the tatseless jokes about Ford's unreliability are true afterall!!</p>
