I have been without my car for a week now as Ford is trying to fix an ongoing issue with the Climate Control in my car for a very long time now. It has become obvious to me that they ("Ford, the dealerships and the technicians"), quote "nobody knows your Ford like we do", don’t have a f*cken clue as to what they are doing! My approach to this is to demand a loan car, which I have. Don't lose any sleep over the car, which I am not. Finally, look for a replacement, which I am!Good luck buddy!

ZAP No boost, no bottle, just my foot on the throttle! Legacy Donating Member 7,935 Member For: 22y 7m 6d Gender: Male Location: Sydney Posted 06/08/05 10:03 AM Posted 06/08/05 10:03 AM turb,I would take it to a place that does not have "factory trained technicians" that think they know your Ford and get them to fix it.Take it to Spiro / C&V / MRT or anyone else you trust and get them to sort it out.Then take the bill to your dealer and demand they pay it. Ford have been given more than enough time to fix the problem. You have the right to make good the repairs yourself and then make them pay for it. Speak to the NRMA (if u are a member) or the Depoartment of Fair Traiding. If Ford do not pay take them to the small claims court and mke sure you summons the CEO of Fod Oz and the dealer principal from the place trying to fix it.It is not worth your stress waiting fo Ford to fix something they cannot becaue they cant, their service is a joke, take it to a real mechanic.
