Ford Mondeo 2007 Problems

There was a change in 2007 from a four-speed auto to a six-sped auto. The four-speed had a dipstick, check your owner's manual for the location, but the six-speed didn't. You need to take that to a dealer or an auto transmission specialist to have it done.

I'M SURE Ford would be most unhappy about its dealer acting in this way, but it has little control over what happens once the cars leave the factory. From what you say, the dealer appears to have misrepresented the car to you and you have cause for complaint, if not compensation. I would pursue legal action against the dealer.

It's most unusual to wear out the rear brakes before the fronts as it's the fronts that do most of the work, but having to replace pads and discs at low kays is not so unusual with European cars.
