My car is constantly having mechanical issues. What can I do?
I bought a car in June of 2013 - 2013 Ford Escape. I have had it in the shop multiple times for random issues and recalls. I have had to take time off work to bring it in and have to bring it in yet again for even more issues (just picked it up 5 days ago). I have a warranty so it is all free but I'm tired of the constant issues with this car. It is financed though. Is there any way for me to get rid of this car through the Ford dealership I purchased it from? Should i even bother contacting Ford to express my complaints? What can be done? I just want out of this car!
Lemon Law won't work because its past 12 months after purchase.
That's what the lemon law is for. Each state is slightly different so you'd have to research it specific to your state. You have rights, don't let them roll you over.
YEAH cal the FORD consumer relations dept and pitch your point! They shoudl PROVIDE you with FREE OANERS til they get al issues out! They are RESPNSIBLE at least and are NOT covering things up! I LIKE that p[art of FORD! If you have paid NOPTHING< that is to your benefit, as there are THOUSANDS of parts in every car including NOW more CMOPUT$ERS than ever! IT is AMAZING that ANY CAR works as well as it does when so many thigns can be FAULTY or shabbily made! It also takes TIME for data bases to get made and for faults to show up on ANY car! TOYOTA amazes me as they seem to have the fewest recalls and the HIGHEST consumer ratings for DECADES< and most people agree that they have NO complaints for 200k mile sand more! ANYWAYS< the complexity of CARS increases every year with GPS, TIRE MONITORS and All kinds of new technologies every day! Check out a new 5s ANDROID PHONE! IF you are THAT unhappy with the car, FORD will accommodate you with a NEWER ONE or compensate you in some other way! I had a CLIENT with failing anti-\theft system in his near new JEEP COMMANDER! It was NOT reliable and went to hone base FIVE TIMES that he was abandoned and had to call tow trucks! They eventually gave him $5k back, and increased his warranty by five years! There's the LEMON LAW that states if you have the same issue THREE TIMES< then you have the CHOICE of a FREE REPLACEMENTS or REFUND! Check out LEMON LAW websites. This car is so very new, and you CAN get a REFUND if you insist, or another vehicle! It is YOUR PROTECTION by law!
They aren't taking the car back.
- Having issues on troubleshooting my wife's 2000 Ford Contour SE V6 2.5 DOHC? After driving for about 3-4 miles it starts to jerk and loose power. Almost as if someone is hitting you from the back. It's not throwing any codes or making the check engine light come on so that tells me it can't be major. I hope. I have changed the fuel filter, added Techron concentrated fuel treatment, changed the (CPS) camshaft position sensor, changed the oil and filter. I also replaced the air filter and cleaned the MAP sensor. What else can it be? Someone please help.
- I'm having issues with my 2012 ford focus heater? I'm running my heater for over 20 minutes on my way to school and by the end of my drive one of my 4 vents is blowing luke warm air, the other 3 are blowing cold like the A/C. In March or April i had my radiator replaced and my coolant was flushed. I read that the hot coolant is what heats up something to blow the hot air? Also read that when the coolant is flushed it may clog something up which stops it from blowing hot air.
- Insert the key and doesn't turn. Steering wheel locked. Shifter stuck in park. Can start by mechanical part under wheel. What could it be? 1999 ford f150 won't come out of park or start even when I start it using the mechanical part under the steering wheel
