> 2006 > Be 20 > Want a cool car > Oh cool I'll buy a Mustang > 30,000 miles, water leak, whenever it rains water pours into the car. Car filled with 2 inches of water. It was never the same since > Ford fixed it for free but despite obvious guide distributed to the service centers that says in all caps "DO NOT JUST FILL THE HOLES WITH SILICONE, REPLACE THE VALVES", they filled the holes with silicone so the leak came back later > 45,000 miles I go to park on a hill one day and the e-brake cable snapped. Ford refused to cover the repair. The service center said I must have been power braking and drifting. I wasn't, it was a shitty cable and Ford knew about it. > 50,000 miles I go to change my spark plugs and 2 of them snapped off into the cylinder, Ford decided to use 2 piece plastic spark plugs for their cars from 2005 to 2009. Class action lawsuit in process, no one has been paid yet. Ford refused to cover the $300 repair that was needed. They even invented an extraction tool to solve this problem but haven't compensated anyone > 60,000 miles starting to get electrical issues from the leak, lights blink and stuff > 70,000 miles leak comes back and this time, even though I pointed out to the service center that they fixed it wrong and that's why it came back they refused to cover it. The breaking point.jpg > I call Ford corporate and get a rep on the phone. Explain everything. I asked if they could at least cover part of the $300 required to get the water leak fixed. > They say "no" > I said "ma'am I'm going to sell this car and get a Japanese one. I will never ever buy another Ford and I'll tell other people not to buy a Ford as well" > She says "that's fine we're not covering the repair"
This company can go fuck itself. Hope it goes completely bankrupt.
It's a shitty unreliable product and Ford needs massive changes or will die. Look at their offshore sales. Short the stock.

Talk to a lawyer even if they "only" find out they filled the holes with silicone that's gross negligence find out if you have a case and take it from there I can't imagine they'd do that then act blazay, email ford and state that you're taking legal action because of the poor service at their service centers and their repeated shoddy customer service take pictures LOTS OF THEM of the silicone around the holes and keep them safe.

Aside from the Mustang and some trucks, Ford doesn't even put V8s into any vehicles anymore. Not even the Lincoln Navigator. My parents bought an Escort in about 1991 and later on bought a Windstar in about 1995. The van wasn't too bad, but they only drove it to about 130,000 or so.
I don't think Ford would survive a recession. Trump would probably bail them out. They didn't take the money the first time, but they have a new CEO now.
Although maybe I should have? At any rate all of it pissed me off but none of it was really worth going to court over, as I currently make $70k a year.
They have 3 different class actions against them here in America, not sure what's happening with any of those cases though
> spark plugs > failed brakes > water leaks

the newest gen mustangs are actually pretty well made
Cooper Gonzalez
Pretty much the same here, except with a Chevy. Fuck American cars
Christian Ortiz
I might. I really hope electric becomes mainstream
