WEEK FOUR: Fiesta still at dealer

[Dontbuyford]

My Fiesta -- with less than 12K miles on it -- remains at the dealer as they continue to experiment with different approaches for repairing my automatic transmission. I wonder if they'll ever break down and replace it? Not holding my breath. Defective crap vehicles + poor customer service = my last Ford.

Whining and moaning with a name like yours isn't going to fix anything. Have you tried contacting our ford representative here on the forum? They may be able to help you.

wrong place for this, I will move it.

There are lemon laws to protect auto consumers. I highly recommend you look into this as it sounds like you could be fitting the case.

Call ford. Not your dealer. Be the squeaky wheel and it will produce results. Whining on a forum to just whine does nothing for you.


Ford first provided a massive extended warranty for me on my svt focus that was eventually bought back as a lemon due to excessive shop time, excessive tranny problems and various other mechanical issues. Long story short, call ford!

Coming up on 3 weeks for me but they have no idea what's wrong, there are only 700 km on it, and my province has no lemon law.

Some of you guys need to grow a pair and call Ford, ride their butts and get them to send a (real) factory tech out to the dealer to help diagnose the problem, or get them to pay to have it moved to another (more competent) one. Griping and moaning here won't get you anything, rarely even sympathy in these cases. Most dealers haven't a clue what they're doing, nor do they care, but getting the manufacturer involved is a sure-fire way to get something accomplished.

The people that come on to an enthusiast forum purely to complain disgusts me, especially with that sassy username. Contact Ford customer service representatives. They will gladly help get the ball rolling.

Hey,
If someone is thinking about buying a Ford and comes across this site, I will be doing that person a favor. I don't want anyone to have the experience I have had.
