Yes it is. Don't we do conversation again in Nigeria?

ZIMDRILL:
do you really know what is a CHASSIS ? or you just take any rubbish you are told by aka kazeems?

back to what he said, someone already mentioned it,its sounds like the trasnmission is failing to download smoothly

with automatics, if you are on a crusing speed lets say 45mph and above your would be likely in 3rd gear and above and when you press on the brakes to slow down the car downshift to a lower gear this should happen smoothly without jerking

hence we suspect that something is not right with your gearbox 1st get the transmission scanned and see if anything comes up

when was the last time you did oil change on the gearbox ?

a4cube:
Is this Corolla good for uber or normal taxi in Nigeria?

One thing is just certain : you don't like Ford cars. Maybe you just let go and stopped typing now sha, it's someone's workshop.

It's more like someone comes to your thread and starts giving a ton of reasons and scenarios why it's not ideal to use your workshop and tries to justify it more and more.

The Ford Edge you're busy slacking, they full naija roads taking their owners from point A to B, if it were that bad like you paint it, it would've stopped selling here by now. Note it's been years it entered our market and it's still selling, cars like Freelander, Nissan Quest etc have fizzled out, Ford Edge is still here

I hope everyone understands that I do not doubt the opinions of aunty Radu, I just feel if she had owned a Ford vehicle, her first hand opinion will not be as negative as it is now.
I owned 3 grand cherokee(5 years for two each), a 300(5 years now) and a ford fusion(11 years)
They are not 100% but I can live with their minor problems.
If you buy car because you like it, it will be taken care of.

Yea, sucks.. but I've had the improvised thermostat removed & ac operation is back to normal. It stopped cooling after 3months though, there's no sign of leakages under the bonnet so our conclusion is to have the evaporator checked.. dashboard will have to be removed and i haven't really have the time to have it checked.

BarrSly:
A single jerk ma. I don’t feel it in the pedal only the car just jerks. Once then comes to a halt.

uncle005:
I beg do you have any picture to show us please?
The one i bought, i cant remember the name but i can see Okocha picture in it

adeniyiHansome:

Aunty Radu, i confirmed the guy did not mention he is from Nairaland. Can he still help bring the car?

True i tried calling your number that day when the issue came up but it wasnt going tru...... Thanks for your kindness always

uncle005:
How do we know the original refrigerant, i witness this when in the night and rainfall that my ac chills but under the sun it never cools and that is when i need it mostly

J0hnTrevolt:
Thank u ma but would this lead to increase in fuel consumption?

J0hnTrevolt:
Hello ma! My Toyota avalon 03. It was having loss of power when I was driving then all of a sudden the car started to jerk, then sound of exhaust changed when I fire.
I took it to a panel beater he said the problem is not from the muffler. He loosened my catalytic converter exhaust manifold and the one right under it to check if something blocked the cats luckily the cats were free and the catalysts intact. He coupled the exhaust back and tolde to start the engine and I did. The exhaust was still blowing. He went under and checked and came out to say the exhaust were turning red. That they are blocked that he has to take it to a welder to cut open and remove things inside. I became afraid that this might lead to my car to start consuming fuel so i told him to fix everything back and drove away with my car. When I start my car the heat that comes out of the manifold is too much.
Please Ma what should I do? I'm not so buoyant to buy a new cat at the moment.

sultaan:
I understand your point, but remember I have asked if from your first hand experience if the issues you have seen were as a result of a Nigerian fixing the vehicle first or a maintenance item, or bad factory part.
The only bad factory part I know for the edge was internal water pump and improperly machines axle shaft that leaks trans fluid, the part has been updated.
I don't think you have personally owned a ford recently,but they offer great value with higher level of technology

Bro, you just went from 0 to 300kmhr within 6secs.

Femtopford:
Our competition begins here, appropriate for the whole viewers to judge, this so nice, its been years that I had such challenge. what do you say about ford tech, bring up any lapses, let me antagonize it and prove you wrong. the stage is open now.

HeavenlyBang:
Probably, but you don't know what mileage is.

HeavenlyBang:
Yeah, apart from a defect that nukes the engine and early 722.9 problems.

Femtopford:
It's extremely wrong of you to say nooo blatantly without any cogent explanation. I furiously get mad when anyone tries to degenerate ford in any perspectives. the person you replied NO has already become a member of my WhatsApp ford group. I have given him all the details of ford he required to the slightest bits I always tell my group members and all ford lover that those mechanics, technicians, technologists and engineers that normally say negatives about ford are incompetent ones.

Ford vehicles are my only and sole area of specialization and I won't stay idle if anyone tries to ridicule it, I can raise my head high and no one can say otherwise to me, if anyone is competent enough, he should boldly come here and compete with me in Ford vehicles technologies.

gogetter09:
Good evening,.. I just realised that my radiator fan is working rotating... and I have. turned off the car about 1hour ago... I had to removed the battery terminal cos it will drain my battery... Audi A4. 2007 turbo Quattro... please help

delkinz:
Greetings to the great people of this thread.
Please I need advice on C230 2006/2007 V6 model
Is it a good car to buy ? What are the things to look out for ? Fuel consumption is not a problem

lilkech:
So you do stock such filters. How much is it? For a Honda Accord

I know using a below standard filter for such practice will be detrimental in the long run.

lilkech:
What if I change my filter ‘every other oil change’ (average of 9,000 - 10,000 miles), would you warranty your filter for such a duration of use?

sultaan:
I can't believe you said no, without stating the problems with the car.
It might not be Toyota reliable, but far better than Land Rover, or BMW

Presegs:
Carfax is always recommended for Canada cars but autocheck does the magic for USA cars like this one.

I talked about that on my thread Learn For FREE How You Can Easily Get AUTOCHECK VIN Report Of Any Car For FREE > https://www.nairaland.com/5529840/learn-free-how-easily-get

Presegs:
No sense in that/this ma. If you truly read through as claimed, you would know that there is no need for that since autocheck already did justice.
