So yeah picked up my new focus on Tuesday after the dealer dicking around with it for a week, (yay!) noticed before I left that the coolant was low, and then once on the highway that the car has difficulty shifting into 4 & 5, and later reverse, and not going back smoothly into netural, you have to force the car into 4th, 5th or reverse, and swing it back and forth into netural to make sure it's really in netural. Plus the parking brake almost feels off as it set in the very highest point when its set.
Yesterday got the tranny fluid changed (looked like mud when they showed it to me) and got the coolant flushed as it looked oddly low when I picked up the car (it looked like flem when it came out) and while they were waiting for the air pockets to come out the car almost over heated! and last night the Alt/Battery light came on... this was one of the things the dealer said he had fixed before selling me the car. My dad said it looked like they tried to solder it back into place but did a crappy job in doing so because it's not new parts like they said they fixed the car with.
So Today, the Alt/battery light is on with the air bag light, and now the driver's seat is not thinking the seat belt is plugged in, and the car almost over heated again, but I heard the cooling fans kick in twice this morning when I took it out... I'm kinda pissed at this point because the car only has 180kms since I picked it up
FYI the car is a 2002 ZX3 5 speed with 83,000 kms on it.
