Reported on Aug 07, 2012
| I WAS DRIVING HOME ON THE HIGHWAY ALL OF A SUDDEN POWER STEERING FROZE. WARNING LIGHT SERVICE ADVANCETRAC AND POWER STEERING FAILURE CAME ON. NEXT DAY 8/8/12, TOOK IT TO THE DEALERSHIP WHERE IT STILL SITS. WAS TOLD THAT THE PART THAT IS BAD (THE RACK AND PINION) IS ON BACK ORDER. WAS JUST TOLD TODAY 8/17/12 THAT IT WILL BE OCTOBER BEFORE THE PART WILL BE SHIPPED. CALLED FORD (COMPANY) AND WAS TOLD THAT MY CASE WAS MADE A PRIORITY AND I WOULD HAVE TO WAIT UNTIL SEPTEMBER 10TH FOR A FOLLOW UP (RIDICULOUS). A CUSTOMER WHO IS SPENDING THIS KIND OF MONEY SHOULDN'T HAVE TO WAIT A MONTH TO GET HELP OR WAIT TWO MONTHS TO HAVE HIS/HER VEHICLE FIXED. AS OF NEXT THURSDAY AUG. 23 IT WILL BE 16 DAYS WITHOUT MY CAR. I WILL THEN SEND A LETTER TO THE FORD FOR A LAST CHANCE TO REPAIR MY CAR. AFTER THAT THEY HAVE 10 DAYS TO FIX IT. AFTER TEN DAYS I CAN DEMAND A REFUND OR A NEW CAR. IF FORD DOESN'T COMPLY THEN I CAN FILE A SUIT AGAINST FORD ACCORDING TO THE MISSISSIPPI LEMON LAW (CONSUMER PROTECTION DIVISION OF THE MISSISSIPPI ATTORNEY GENERAL'S OFFICE) FORD I WILL SEE YOU IN COURT! SINCERELY A DISAPPOINTED CUSTOMER. *TR | |
