Ford recalls

Recall 18S20. Per this recall the cable bushing detaches or degrades. Per the Courtesy Ford dealership it was the cable bushing that was bad causing damage to front end of car. Per Ford rep my VIN was not affected but the technician diagnosis says that is not true. I paid $253.00 out of pocket for this. Bill from dealership and recall information attached in photos.

I had the same Recall on my 2015 Fusion and my shifter cable issue occurred before the recall was released. My gear shift was in park but the car thought it was in reverse so the vehicle could only move backwards. I had to pay for the repair, and a battery (because the car thought it was in park when it was in reverse and killed my battery) on my own and then file for a reimbursement months later. The cost of the repair was just over $500 in total and I just received a check in the mail from Ford, almost 6 months later, for exactly half of what I paid for the repair. $250 doesn't even cover the cost of labor for the repair. On top of that, I spent over 12 hours on the phone with them, while at work, (mostly on hold listening to their annoying Mustang/Taurus advertisement over and over) over a total of 14 or 15 phone calls just to get information on how to get properly reimbursed, and still wasn't properly informed until the letter came out. You would think that 1) they would provide 100% reimbursement for an issue caused by their poor quality parts, especially one that probably cost them less than a dollar to manufacture per unit, and 2) they would fully reimburse a customer who helped shed light to the issue in order to issue a recall for the problem before it caused a fatal accident (I assume I'm not the only one). I wouldn't even rate their customer service 1 star if the scale went lower than 1. I will NOT be purchasing another vehicle from Ford ever again and will make sure that many others are aware of their atrocious attempt at providing customer service.

Ford recalls

I received a recall for my 2015 F-150 (17S33/NHTSA Recall 17V-652). When I called the dealer, I was told it can only be done during the week and that it would take 3-4 hours. I have no other vehicle and have a full time job 34 miles from my home. I would have to rent a car for the day which would mean I would have to spend my money for your recall? My last 4 vehicles have all been Fords and I am loyal customer. I think this is totally wrong!

Ford lug nuts

Over my last 4 oil change and tire rotation appointments I have had to have at least 4 lug nuts cut off in order to do a tire rotation. 19-20 lug nuts over the past 8 months.
It is getting quite expensive. Isn't there something you can do about the material being used to produce them? I am on a fixed income and cannot afford to have 4-5 Lug Nuts cut off every visit. The latest incident was today 11/12/2018.

Ford - pvd wheels chrome peeling off of the rims

I have contacted the dealer that my $58k truck has the chrome coming off the rims and I was told they can't help me. I have been a loyal Ford owner for 40 yrs and this is the first time I've had an issue and cannot get any resolution. I'm very disappointed I spent that much for what I thought was a quality product to have to eventually go buy after market...

Ford ford oil change & maintenance

Purchase a 2018 Ford Escape from Tom Woods on Oct 24, 2017 from Ervin Scott. He stated my oil change & maintenance agreement could be used in Florida because I was moving. Called CJ Holtry on Oct 11, [protected]@Tom Woods to verify the plan. Never received a call back from him. Sent a complaint to the President's office of Tom Wood Ford and received a call back on Oct 16th was advised my plan for oil changes and maintenance was good in Florida the dealership here could look it up in Oasis. Called Weikert Ford Nov. 8th spoke to Dana advised I had a oil change and maintenance plan through Ford. Took my car in to Weikert Ford Nov. 9th for an oil change & tire rotation. Service advisor was Rob Venters. When I went to the cashier she stated I should have told them I had an plan and I told her I did, I told Dana when I made the appointment. She sent me back to Rob he asked did I have my paperwork with me. Seriously, who rides around with the paperwork in their car? He sent me back to the cashier and stated I had to pay and let Ford reimburse me. Not one person at Weikert Ford looked up the information in Oasis. Either Tom Woods or Weikert Ford is lying about my coverage. I need to know what I am covered for. Vin: 1FMCU0F78JUA08486, Grace Gaines [protected]. Your assistance would be greatly appreciated. Thanks

Ford pillar moulding trim on exterior front window

We noticed a vibrating sound on our Ford 2014 Explorer and learned it was the Pillar Molding and asked Ford about a recall. They said there is no recall. We read that several complaints about suddenly flying off while driving. My wife was driving on I-5 today 11/8/18 and while passing a Truck the right passenger side pillar molding came loose and flew off hitting the truck front windshield. Thank goodness it did not cause an accident. We need to know how we can get this fixed as we purchased this vehicle in 2017 with 34, 000 Miles on it and purchased an extended bumper to bumper warranty and Ford Dealers say it is not covered. This will cost about $500 for both to be fixed and Ford should take care of customers who have warranries. What can you do for this and when will you have a recall? Hopefully it dies not take people's lives or accidents before Ford decides to fix this problem.

Ford Roadside assistance / service

My family and I have been life long time customers with Ford. I am very disappointed with the extremely poor calls I consistently get in regards to service and with roadside assistance. I have a flat tire right now. A very common occuranve and a simple fix in my opinion. Tonight I've had to call around to more Ford locations than I'd like to count in order to attempt to find the quickest and most convenient repair for my tire possible. First off the roadside assistance operators had my car being towed to a location that only deals with commercial trucks when I have a Ford Ecosport SUV. I don't understand why when I give my vehicle info they would have it towed to a location that doesn't even service my simple tire repair. I'm not going to have my vehicle towed to sit at a random location just to have it towed again in the morning! Then I call around to other locations in the area and not only am I treated like I'm incompetent when I can't immediately give my tire size but no one can give me a clear answer on when a repair can be completed nor can anyone tell me if they even have my tire in stock! Also, the people who have answered my phone call act like they can't give me a straight answer on when my tire can be changed! One operator told me their service department wouldn't be able to have my repair completed for a week and a half! A week and a half to change a tire!? I'm beyond disappointed on how I've been treated and customer service I've received.

There is no reason I shouldn't be able to have a tire changed within 24 hrs. I could do it myself if I could locate a tire. I lease my vehicle with Ford and it's ridiculous I can't get better customer service with repairs. A tire repair should not be this stressful

Ford poor customer service from the service department

11/8/18

I had an appointment for 11/8/18 to leave my car for the airbag recall. I made this appointment a week ago.

I left it at the early bird hours, about 6:30a. I received a call before 7:30a informing me that the airbag needed to be ordered. I did not get an apology for the inconvenience but instead questioned as to who I made the appointment with. I stated that I didn't know but he should be able to see who scheduled the appointment. Well, it will be 2 weeks before the airbag gets there is what I get next.

This was upsetting to me. I made this appointment a week ago and had to make arrangements for a 3month old and my daughter with chronic diseases to have care while I drop my car off in one city to go to another town to work.

It is upsetting to see commercials and websites advertising this great care and convenience when the reality is no one cares and are only concerned about just need to perform a task. A poor task, I might say. It's important to receive accurate information when providing service because life choices are made with this information.

Ford 2014 ford mustang

I have a 2014 Ford Mustang. My fuel gauge has been malfunctioning for quite some time now. It is currently at the local dealership/service department. First they replaced two sending units, one fuel pump module and now they tell me that I need to replace the fuel tank for about $1, 000.00. I already have a complaint number with HQ and I would really appreciate it if you could help me out. I love the Mustangs and I am not about to change vehicles. However, this is costly replacement and this should not happen with a 4-year old vehicle.

Ford service dept is trying to rip me off

On several occasion, I have taken my car to be service for transmission issues. I still have the same issue, but now I believe the transmission has gone out . The service dept stated they have replaced several parts in reference to problem. I was ask to drive car for about 1000 miles so car can reset memory. Apparently that didn't work.The service dept. insist on not taking care of matter without going into my pocket. Even though its a matter that they have been working on since I bought vehicle. I need someone to help me resolve this matter as soon as possible.

Ford service departments

What the hell is wrong with Ford Motor Company's dealer service departments?. I have been trying to get someone at both Suburban Ford of Waterford and Lasco Ford in Fenton to call me back re guarding service on my Ford F-350. I called and had the receptionist leave hand written and I have left voicemail messages on numerous occasions and have not received a response from either dealership. You should go online and look at the reviews for both these dealerships. NOT A PRETTY SIGHT.
I worked for Ford Motor Co., Dearborn Engineering, for years as did my Grandfather, Dad, Uncle, two Brothers and two Cousins.
This kind of dealership representation of quality, service and professionalism would not have been tolerated then.
Can you recommend a " Quality First" dealership in my area that can provide me with the service I am used to receiving?
My only alternative is to try to find a reputable mom and pop shop to do my service work.
I would appreciate a timely response to my problem.

Respectfully Submitted,

Ford sync 2 my ford touch

Ford notified me a few months back that they will no longer support nor upgrade the SYNC technology in my 2015 Ford Mustang GT convertible (50 Year Edition Package). This now renders my turn by turn navigation system and my vehicle health report unavailable. Ford's technicial service department advised my to go to my local Ford dealer. The only solution the manager at my local Ford dealer was to by a new Mustang with the new technology in it. I'm aware of several class action lawsuits against Ford involving SYNC. There were problems with the system back in 2014; however Ford continued to install SYNC in their 2015 vehicles. I have been a loyal Ford customer but I'm VERY apprehensive about buying another Ford product.

Ford ford aspire titanium diesel

This is the message for those who want to buy a car and that too any model of FORD.

I just want to tell everyone what I went through after I invested my savings and hard earned money. After all the research and to my satisfaction I bought Ford Aspire just 90 days back and from the very first drive it started making me feel my mistake of purchasing the car. Numerous issues started emerging all of a sudden, the car started giving me jerks with any gear engaged, the steering stopped moving acting tough and shockers shocked me which was fixed by lubricating it by the service centre team after my eight visits to the centre. I talked to everyone at Ford service centre and the result is the same. They treated the car like a truck in very first service at 2500KMs (Pictures attached with post) I have been writing to the entire top notch at Ford, but all in vain. I am pissed, disappointed and disheartened. Pathetic Customer Service at any level. If you want to try an adventure, go ahead and buy it. My best wishes!

Below Is the Email Trail with Ford India Team, I have sent many emails to the total Ford Team including the CEOs.

Oct 22, 2018, 1:46 PM (5 days ago)

to manurag,

Hi Anurag,
Greetings!
My name is Saurabh Sharma from Delhi who bought Ford Aspire on July 3rd, 2018. I am in sales department in a reputed organization. After years of work I saved money and bought Ford Aspire (Titanium, Diesel ) with hope to fulfill my first dream of having my own car bought by my own money (Hard Earned). I wanted to go on a long drive with my family but the dream is a dream yet.
I have had a very bad experience so far and my intention is not to defame the brand but to own a car which is satisfactory as promised by the esteemed company through ads and features as shown on the catalogue. The car which I bought is full of issues which are being investigated by various persons at Ford and friends who have been driving for around 20 years. Many of my friends or office pals who have been driving Fords different models and same one as well, have agreed that there are issues, numerous issues with my vehicle. The issues have been informed to the service centre multiple times and I visited two service centres total eight times so far and the result is same. They fixed a couple of issues here and there by adding lubrication to the suspension. Now what I have been reporting since day one of my purchase that the STEERING is still hard to navigate and it is a big concern for me as it may result in untoward incident. I FEAR FOR MY LIVE. I am losing my patience and it is impacting my work and performance at office because of my depression. My job is my bread and butter. I cannot lose it. I have been taking leaves from my office to get it repaired and fixed. I have been using cabs as well. What is the use of owning a car and moving around in a cab?
Other than the STEERING issue, there is jerk when you drive with any gear engaged. How would I manage with these two major issues with a newly bought car? I reported the issues with just 1000 KMs of my drive. Everybody at Ford is neglecting the issues by just saying things are fine with the car and there are no issues. How would I explain my ordeal to the people responsible? The only option I had or have is to report through reporting the car to the service station and now I have to resort to sending begging emails to people at certain positions who can listen to my issues. All I want is a replacement with a proper functioning CAR to my satisfaction as others are enjoying.
Please check the mail trail I have been approaching to various people and all efforts go in vain. I hope this email reaches the inbox of someone who has compassion and understanding of the situation one is going through after paying his life saving.
Looking forward to hearing from you positively soon.

Best Regards
Saurabh Sharma

Hi Ford Team,

Thanks for finally coming to a conclusion which is yet incomplete and dis-satisfactory. I was informed and suggested by my friends and family not to buy any Ford vehicle because of its poor service and support, but I did not listen to anybody. The result is before me.
I would like to reiterate that the conclusions you have given point by point are incorrect and based on false inspection. The person on joint test agreed to facing the same issues as I was facing but you and other previous customer care executives are writing the same false statement.
On the 5th October when I got back my car from the service station after the programming to the steering was done they said that the car was working fine. When the engineer showed me the car and said its working good. I did a test with him and I told him that I could feel the hardness with the steering, but he said there is nothing wrong with the steering and it will be okay in a day or so. I took the car home and went again to the Delhi Ford, Safdarjung enclave (6th October) Sales Outlet and asked the sales people to check the car. When they tested the car, they said that the steering has issues. Three of them tested the vehicle one by one and told me that the steering is hard which they felt on their own, I did not explain them my issues at all. He also told me that both the old and new ford aspire models do not have such steering. There is major difference in my car steering and other similar models.
I have taken the car to the service station eight times and now I have no trust and courage to bunk office and go to the service station. By the way the car is faulty and has many issues which makes it dangerous to drive. I don’t want to take the car ninth time to the service station and get the same old false statements. I cannot drive a dangerous car and meet with an untoward incident. I have added my friends in the email as well so that if I meet with an accident they will take the matter to next level.
Thanks
Saurabh Sharma

Dear Mr. Saurav Sharma,

This is in subsequent to our earlier correspondence, regarding the vehicle bearing chassis number MAJZXXMTKZJL24879.

Please find below the update on your concerns

Issues raised by Guest Reply from Ford
Shockers started acting up, which was later replaced. Now there is a suspension noise which is still there even after visiting 8 times to the service centre We understand that Vehicle reported to Dwarka Ford on 5/10/2018 dealership had joint road test with you but no abnormality found related to the suspension noise &
Vehicle Jerking while acceleration/deceleration
Vehicle was found to be performing up the expectations.

Jerky Drive: The vehicle gives jerks when I accelerate or de-accelerate, and this since I purchased the vehicle. This has caused severe backache
Clutch paddle is hard when pressed since purchased. I reported this immediately and was told that it would be smooth after a few days of drive On 05/09/18 our Ford Field Service Engineer had inspected your vehicle at Delhi Ford and no abnormality observed with respect to the clutch pedal hard but no abnormality was found.
Dents everywhere: When I first gave my car for servicing and after repeat servicing, it came with many dents and when reported Sandeep Bansal, GM Delhi Ford Service said they would paint it. We sincerely regret for the inconvenience caused, we understand that dealership had addressed this concern to your satisfaction.
Power Steering is very hard: Since I lost trust in the current service centre because of the issues not being fixed, I changed service centre and got it checked by Dwarka Ford in Delhi and they kept the car for one day and gave me the same stating the car was working fine after programming the steering software. The name of the technical engineer is Mr. Ajit at Dwarka Ford. It is still very hard to move the steering. I know with my experience that if the steering is malfunction, it may cause accident if locked. I fear for my life. I am the only person making both ends meet for my family. There were other ford customers at the centre getting their cars serviced and I checked someone’s Ford Aspire and he checked mine and he reported that my car had issues. And his was perfectly working. Everything. I can share his contact number of need be. We understand that Dwarka Ford had inspected the vehicle 06.10.18 and during road test once they have observed steering hard while Turning right side, they have done Steering Programming & taken road test and confirmed that the concern was resolved,
We request you report to our dealership & replicate the concern to provide you a robust fix,

Please be rest assured that the concern observed if any would be addressed and resolved to your satisfaction.

Subsequent to the ongoing issue, I met Delhi Ford Safdarjung Enclave sales executive who sold me the car, Robbin Halder, and asked him to drive my car without sharing the issues. He drove and within a minute he said the car was running heavy. I did not even share my issues with him yet. He said perhaps the pressure of air of the tyres is low, so we got them checked. It was fine. When he drove the car again to see what the issue was, he found that the steering is hard (I yet not explained my issues to him, he only found it). He later then asked two of his colleagues from Delhi Ford (Same centre) to check the vehicle and asked them to check the steering first. They reported the same. It very hard for anyone to drive and steer.

Hello Dear Ford Team,
With utmost dissatisfaction and utter regret, I wish to inform you that I have to resort to writing to the head of the company after several failed attempt to get my issues fixed by the local service team, by India CEO and other people responsible at Ford India. I would request you to please spare 5 minutes to go through my ordeal and understand the situation of a middle class person going through all this.
I bought my Car (Registration Number: DL12 CN., VIN no: MAJZXXMTKZJL24879, Date of Purchase : 3rd July 2018, Purchased from : Delhi ford, Safdurjung enclave New Delhi) and with joy of the world drove to my home. The joy lasted a couple of days and the journey to the service centre and back home started. I kept patience thinking that the most esteemed company would fix the issues as this may be a mechanical issue. But to my wonder, the situation went worst from worse.
Issues:
1. Shockers started acting up, which was later replaced. Now there is a suspension noise which is still there even after visiting 8 times to the service centre.
2. Jerky Drive: The vehicle gives jerks when I accelerate or de-accelerate, and this since I purchased the vehicle. This has caused severe backache.
3. Clutch paddle is hard when pressed since purchased. I reported this immediately and was told that it would be smooth after a few days of drive.
4. Dents everywhere: When I first gave my car for servicing and after repeat servicing, it came with many dents and when reported Sandeep Bansal, GM Delhi Ford Service said they would paint it.
5. Power Steering is very hard: Since I lost trust in the current service centre because of the issues not being fixed, I changed service centre and got it checked by Dwarka Ford in Delhi and they kept the car for one day and gave me the same stating the car was working fine after programming the steering software. The name of the technical engineer is Mr. Ajit at Dwarka Ford. It is still very hard to move the steering. I know with my experience that if the steering is malfunction, it may cause accident if locked. I fear for my life. I am the only person making both ends meet for my family. There were other ford customers at the centre getting their cars serviced and I checked someone’s Ford Aspire and he checked mine and he reported that my car had issues. And his was perfectly working. Everything. I can share his contact number of need be.
6. Subsequent to the ongoing issue, I met Delhi Ford Safdarjung Enclave sales executive who sold me the car, Robbin Halder, and asked him to drive my car without sharing the issues. He drove and within a minute he said the car was running heavy. I did not even share my issues with him yet. He said perhaps the pressure of air of the tyres is low, so we got them checked. It was fine. When he drove the car again to see what the issue was, he found that the steering is hard (I yet not explained my issues to him, he only found it). He later then asked two of his colleagues from Delhi Ford (Same centre) to check the vehicle and asked them to check the steering first. They reported the same. It very hard for anyone to drive and steer.
I have not mentioned other issues which occurred after servicing. You will find all the issues in the appended emails trails. I went to both the service centres eight times and all efforts went in vain. I have no courage more left in me to further get it checked. The snippet responses that I have been receiving from the team at ford customer care are telling me time and again the same old story that they could not replicate any of the issues or some that they found were fixed. I am ready for someone from a reputed position at ford to check the car himself and understand what I am going through. They got it checked by many and everyone is saying everything is normal but the sales team have found the issues that I have been telling them and the same was felt by the engineer at Ford centre. Now, I want either my money refunded or replace the car with a new one with no issues at all.
I am all set to file a law suit if I don’t hear from you now. You are my last hope. I am ready to share all conversations and pictures with you when you need them. No one can deny my digital proofs.

Hi Ganesh,

I visited Dwarka ford service on 27th September 2018 as per my last conversation with Mr Amol motwani.

I met Technical engineer Mr Ajit at Dwarka ford, and shared all the concerns with him.
He himself drove the vehicle along with me and agreed to the problems.

As per the conversation with you yesterday i will share my feedback regading the car performance on 5th October 2018.
However i can still hear the noise from the front suspension and fuel average kmph is 12.5 right now.

Best Regards

Dear Nithin,

After going through your mail, 5 of us have driven the vehicle – all Individually on separate dates.

All of us are of the opinion that there are ISSUES with the vehicle - and Saurabh has been given a FAULTY Vehicle / a Vehicle with a Manufacturing Defect.

I am sure that opinion of 5 consumers cannot be same, specially people who have been driving for last 20 years.

I hope FORD takes consideration of our Opinion and takes action – which ensures that Consumer does not SUFFER because he had faith in the brand FORD.

Else a lot of people will lose TRUST ON FORD as a MNC.

I hope you understand that you cannot make a FOOL of a consumer.

Anticipating a Positive revert from Ford`s Side.

Also pls do not remove Anurag`s Email id from this mail trail, as he is a witness to this conversation – and if this matter is not resolved amicably – he is a party to this.

Dear Saurabh,

Is this Closed ?

If you are not satisfied with the vehicle still, and Ford is not giving you a proper solution – I suggest you approach the Consumer Forum / Court.

As a Customer you have a right to get what you paid for.

As per the feedback I have received – it seems you have been given a Defective Vehicle and now Ford is not willing to rectify its mistake.

Ideally they should replace / change the vehicle – when so many problems are coming, that too immediately after buying the car.

I Suggest you speak to a lawyer for the same, and file a case against MD and CEO of Ford asap.

Also I will share your experience with all our employees – across all countries, so that they don’t buy a Ford Vehicle at all.

You should put your experience on all Social Media Sites immediately – as this should be spread to all consumers, so that others do not have the same HORRIBLE EXPERIENCE that you have had.

Keep me posted on this so that I can share this with people in my circle too…

Hi Ganesh,

As suggested by you, I drove the vehicle in full confidence but I'm in the same situation. I can still hear the noise from the front suspension/shockers, clutch is still hard, the car is still jerking / judring and pickup is low.

As per the conversation with you today as mentioned i will file a case against FORD and its services. (If not resolved) either replace it or refund my money back.

Also i have parked the vehicle in my covered parking area and not using it. Im helpless and will have to commute to office daily via cab.

Hi,

I visited Delhi ford service today as per my conversation with Ms Rajni - RM.

The floor manager inspected the car via software and did not able to rectify the problem

Also, i went with three of the service people for road test wherein the driving one agreed to the problem of jerk, low pickup and shocker/suspension noise from the front.

Further the vehicle was inspected which they weren't able to rectify and said we have called a technical team from ford who will check and repair the vehicle after 2 days.

Also before Leaving i met Mr. Sandeep bansal - GM who told me the same. That he has already emailed ford india to send techincal team who will further check the vehicle as their delhi ford team was unable to repair/solve the issue.
Also he added that they will get my car's boot painted for the loss of dent happened.

But it feels very disheartening. The car just did 3690 km and require a paint job because of careless behavior of delhi ford service.

After leaving from there i found the vehicle is delivering 3 kmpl of average. Which is even more worse now. Please find the picture attached.

I'm regretting my decision to choose ford.

Again im requesting Kindly take back your vehicle in question and deliver a new one or refund the Money.

Looking forward for Ford's cooperation!

Anticipating prompt response.

Best Regards

Hi,

This is the worst after sale service i have ever seen.

Please find attached the pictures attached with this email.

The car was perfectly fine when the ford driver took it to Delhi ford service centre okhla on 29th August 2018 at 9:30 am.

He himself checked and marked two minor scratch on the left side of the car.

I got my vehicle back on 31st August 2018 at 2:10pm.

When i inspected the vehicle, i found dent and scratches on it. There's a dent on the 5th door (boot) of the car on right hand side.

Another dent on front bumper right side.
Scratch ( paint chipped off) on the driver side
Door handle.

The car was dirty and black spots all over on seats, dashboard, door & chair plastic.

The dashboard was cleaned with some sort of oil which made it sticky all over the centre console and bottle holders.

The driver side auto power window was not working, which was working when it was sent to Delhi Ford on 29th August.

The dashboard is making noise now during drive. Its very irritating!

Do you think its a new car?
Do you value your customer after selling the product? I guess no.

The problems i mentioned in my previous email in the below trail are still there. They have even worsened it now.

1. I said the pickup of the car is fine

Which they have reduced now after the updation made. Whyy?

Also the average has come down 8km/ltr

2. At 60 kph on Fifth gear the vehicle jerks when accelerated and de - accelerated

The Problem is still there and its with every gear.

3. Noise from front shockers is still there. Even on small potholes on road it can be felt.

4. Clutch paddle is still hard, the same as on purchase date 3rd July 2018.

5. For black smoke issue i have been informed by Delhi Ford that its with all ford diesel cars.

Is it?

I feel cheated and not satisfied with Car - Ford Aspire and the service provided. If in starting phase I'm getting these problems. How will this car survive in the later stage. I Doubt on it.

Kindly take back your vehicle in question and deliver a new one or refund the Money.

Looking forward for Ford's cooperation

Anticipating prompt response.

Subject: Unhappy with Service and Car Performance

Hello,

I have purchased Ford Aspire diesel from Delhi ford, safdurjung enclave New delhi on 3rd July 2018.

VIN no: MAJZXXMTKZJL24879

After running it for only 1600 kms the right front shocker started making noise. I went to delhi ford service centre to get it checked. After 6 hours they told me that yes the shocker is faulty but we don't have the part available so asked me to come and get it changed after 4 days.

I got a call from delhi ford for the replacement.
I asked them to do the first service also along the same so that i dont have to come again.

They gave me a call and asked me to get the car for repair and service.

The shocker was replaced by them and in service they just checked the engine oil, nothing else apart from this. I was there with car till i got the gate pass.
I told them some problems which is not rectified or even answered.
Problems mentioned below:

1. Jerky drive ( its when i accelerate or de-accelerate)
2. The car is running heavy.
3. Too much black smoke from the exhaust.
4. Clutch pedal is hard since purchase.

Do not expect this from a new car. I have covered 2800kms till date.

I’m very disappointed after this purchase from ford. We were also planning to take Ecosport by November but now I'm confused and not happy with ford.

Hope to get your cooperation and solution to this problem asap.

Anticipating your prompt response.

Best Regards
Saurabh sharma

On the 11th October 2018 I acknowledge receipt of your letter (based on an empirical technical report), and I have set out the following

Previous matter - subjectivism
On October 4th this year coming from Maputo, I went to Nelspruit in the company of my wife to do the 40, 000 km service on our vehicle Ford Ranger AES 064 MP. After the conclusion on our way back to Maputo, as we approached Malalane a yellow warning light was lit on the dashboard and at the same time the engine starts losing its power.

Because we were in an unsafe zone we decided to slow down and as we approached the service station of Engen in Malalane the engine simply shut down, I made 3 or 4 attempts to turn the ignition on but there was no response and we decided after some local contacts to park the vehicle and on the next morning contact the agent.

We stayed the night at Villa Langa guest house which is approximately 5 KM from the place and spent ZAR 900.00. On the following day we contacted the Ford Nelspruit and we were assisted by the Malalane team.

I asked on the arrival on the local branch, about the subsequent steps and the answer was we should wait for the repair to continue our journey, having been allocated a courtesy car that took my wife to the supermarket while I waited for the car.
After a long wait I questioned how much longer they would take to repair and the assistant's response was that I should wait because they were still working on the car.

Some time later I returned and she after contacts with Nelspruit the information was the damage could only be repaired in Nelspruit and from there it would only be towed on 8th.
As a non residence asked for transport to the nearest border, but suddenly Mpumelelo informed that the workshop manager in Nelspruit informed that as I was showed traces of water on the diesel (without any warning statement) I should make my own arrangements. I found it absurd and asked to speak to the manager and after asking him that not being a mechanic where is the causal link between take a note of the water presence and the damage after repair and after that he acceded and agreed that they would give us transportation to the border.

My indignation began once it was clear that the consideration was not objective as it was clear from the management attitude after several hours sitting without there were no approach, even as a matter of courtesy.
On October 10, I received a call from Ford Nelspruit informing me that the car had been towed on the previous day and informed that the injection system is damaged and the estimated cost of approximately 71 thousand rand plus 500 rand of fuel should be supported by us, I was shocked by what I was hearing and with the necessary calm I asked for the computer report which i didn't received. I just received a few lines letter were Ford Nelspruit entitled exempt from the responsibility based on the trace of water showed after the payment of the service confirmed that vehicle is in good conditions...(this is really bad faith practice).

The facts
1. At the time of submitting the vehicle for the revision of the 40.000 km, Ford, as usual, proposed additional services including cleaning fuel and air system, steering alignment and balance on which I agreed

2. After the diagnosis I was presented with a list of the jobs that needed intervention in the car and no failure was detected in the operation of the engine, otherwise it could be detected and proved through the computer that performs the diagnosis.

3. After the payment of the invoice for the work done I was informed about the existence of water signs in the diesel and after been showed the recipient of a plastic contain I've asked the consequences and was informed that it was normal in the vehicles from Mozambique as the deposit thanks on the petrol stations are note cleaned with the necessary frequency as practice in South Africa, and as such the workshop always recommend on submission of those vehicles for cleaning the system.

4. From there I have been informed that everything was fine and the car was ready, otherwise vehicle could not have authorization to leave workshop.
The right
1. After fuel supply two days before the journey to Nelspruit on the usual petrol station that we have contract with (total, after the Maputo Tall gate), which I contacted and informed that there were no claim on fuel contamination (information available on both local petrol station and press) - from delivery to receipt, I did not receive any report from you that indicated any deficiency in the vehicle, only the sample of the recipient containing diesel and trace of water, and that, until proven wrong, can't be pointed as a cause for the damages related on the vehicle.

2. Having traveled more than 350km after the last petrol refill why the vehicle did not broke down before service? Why only just few km's after leave workshop?

3. Per my understanding, is clear that the contamination presupposes that in a given petrol station at least two vehicles after refilling presents a deficiency in connection with the fuel distribution system but to have that conclusion is necessary to do the assessment, this is be based on subjectivism and empirical conclusions

4. For any individual without technical knowledge from the facts presents herein the fault was due to a human error during the vehicle service process as there is no credible causal link between the facts presented and the damage caused.
Conclusion
There is a lot to be said about my indignation in this process but for economy I will use all if the matter not be taken on your consideration and action at this level, and I'll do all the necessary diligences so that no one else have to experience this malpractice.

Sincerely yours.
Almeida Mabutana

Ford service department at dewey ford in ankeny ia

I called to get a service on my 2017 Platium Explorer. I have to say this was my first contact with them. We have always dealt with Colwell Ford in Hudson Iowa. We recently moved and since it is almost 100 miles now for us to get there. We have never had a problem getting in. I was told by Dewey that it would take over a week for me to get in. At Colwell you can just stop in and they will service your vehicle. We own 3 Fords. The Explorer, a 2018 F150 Platium and a 2018 Forn Transit. We do expediated freight and we have to get the transit serviced about every 6 weeks. We were hoping to get establishd with Dewey since we never know for sure when we will be home. With our schedule we don't know if we will be home. Not sure if this will help but we have been Ford customers for a very long time. If you look up our name you will find we have a leased vehicle the explorer and the F150 with Ford Credit. Please let me know what we can do.

Thank you

James and Ruth Ceaser

Ford my 2017 ford escape

My name is Marvin and Im so dissatisfied with #FordMotorCompany right now about my 2017 #FordEscape already needing a new engine due to what Ford Technicians diagnosed an internal coolant leak that they say I couldn't have prevented...sounds like a manufacturer Defect which they also found a defected cylinder but im left with the cost and I hadnt made it to 100, 000 miles yet even. I really shouldn't have to already be thinking about a new engine right now my God. But all I'm told is I have to pay 7, 000 for a new engine . I'm sure they mean well to offer me 2, 600 credit but I am a single dad and my car is how I provide my financial stability and this has terribly effected my life.
I have all regular maintenance records only through Ford.. faithfully, I've also have had to replace upper lower joints at 60, 000 and coil packs P01, P04 after tune up at 80, 000.
This has really disrupted my ability to provide for my family as I cant afford ..

Ford 2007 ford edge fuel tank recall

I was notified of a fuel tank recall on my 2007 Ford Edge. I took it in to Miller Motors in Burlington Wisconsin, to do the repair. My vehicle was running/driving perfectly fine when I dropped it off. I picked up my vehicle and proceeded to leave the parking lot when the back end of my vehicle started shaking. I returned immediately to the service department they consulted with the auto technician who then said he said he had to lower the drive shaft in order to do the fuel tank replacement. He said that one of the u-joints was tight. My first thought was why wasn't I told this when I picked my vehicle up? Is this an excuse to cover-up an error? Now I'm told I need to replace my drive shaft at a cost of over a $1000.00! This Ford instigated recall is now supposed to cost me $1000 on a vehicle that was running perfectly when taken in.

The dealership said they would contact Ford Company to see if it would be covered under the recall. I had to wait over two weeks for an answer and was without my vehicle. I was then notified that I would have to pay for the repair of the drive shaft.

The recall repair required the lowering of the drive shaft which was working fine when it was dropped off. I feel that the improper reinstallation of the drive shaft caused the damage to the drive shaft. I was sent pictures of supposed damage. Upon my review of pictures I noticed two brand new bolts holding drive shaft in place. (were these not installed upon first reinstallation?) Why wasn't the vehicle test driven after recall repair? If they would've done that it would've been obvious that something wasn't right.

Does Ford have qualified technicians to do this recall? My only positive with this was the employee "Tuesday".

I am expecting a call from the Service Manger on Monday, October 29, 2018...Please contact me, if I don't hear from the service manager I will be contacting you again. Thank you.
