| Was Vehicle Towed: - | Description of the Complaints: Well i had the worst experience ever in my life since i bought this car. i had this car repaired so many time i cant start to name off dates. i do know less than 6 months after i bought this car i drove to the beach less than 30 minutes always and it cut off. it started back up, but cut off 4 time before i got home. next day i had to take it to the dealer to repair it. since i had this car it has been nothing but a burden. i had to replace the ball joint once before, and as i write this letter it is being done again for a 2nd time. my heat and air stop working. heat only works on high, and my defrost take for ever to clear my windows. my door just wont stay closed it pops open while driving. on my passengers side on the floor. it gets soaked with rain everything. if its rainy and im driving my car makes a loud scratching noise. my brakes have to be changed every 3-4 months. shocks gave out less than a year after buying my car. my engine light wont go off. i took my car to over 3 ford dealers and many shops, and no can say why the light keep popping on. so today i dropped my car off to the shop to have brakes,door,engine light, ball joints and to see why the over drive off light keep blinking while im driving. this is the worst car ever made by ford. i know its nothing on my behalf why this car is so horrible because is know 4 other people who have or had the same problems as me. they were smart enough to get rid of this piece of '!@#$%, i just cant afford it. well i know this summer if i do have the pleasure and jungian this car, im going to push it off a bridge myself, and never ever by a ford again. i think ford should be assumed for putting out such a bad model. how dare u try and make a quick buck instead of building a reliable car for families. *ak |
