I have been a loyal Ford buyer since 1977. My first new car. My Dad's first new car was a Ford. My family always drive Fords. That stops today. Lincoln Motor Company denied my legitimate warranty claim by saying I was 4 days past the expiration date. I am well under the mileage threshold, and had the car to the dealer 3 times in a month and told they could not find the problem AS IF BY SOME MIRACLE THEY DIAGNOSED THE PROBLEM AND THEM LINCOLN WEASELED THIER WAY OUT OF PAYING. Shame on them. Shame on me for blind loyalty.

My husband has owned nothing but Ford trucks for 50 years we have been married. Recently bought a new one. It has 400 miles on it and transmission locked up. Called Ford roadside and explained we were out of state and truck wouldn’t go. They can send a tow truck but sorry have to speak to someone else to get a rental. This was on Saturday night and they wouldn’t be open until Monday or Tuesday, they weren’t sure which since Monday was a holiday. Sorry not sure how you will get home but I will send a tow to take truck to nearest dealer but they won’t be open until Monday or Tuesday.
Now Ford is saying it’s a known problem and not sure when they can get the part. What the heck is wrong with Ford. No more Ford family here. My grandson's Ford truck ironically had same issue 3 days later and he is getting same run around. How is he supposed to get to work? Ford says not sure but we hope to have the part in a month. (Maybe). This is ridiculous.

I wish I can give negative reviews but unfortunately, there is no option. I bought F150 Raptor 2025 and I had minor rack from rear door sides and dealer took almost one and half months to fix it and after they fixed they told, "There is recall and it’s safety issue, we can’t give your vehicle back until they fix it." So I agree and they too another one and half months to fix recall but my insurance cover my rental vehicle up to 30 days after that I paid from my pocket.
So I called Ford company too many times about this issue and they always someone will call in 24 to 48 hours and still not received any phone call regarding about recall and they supposed to give me loaner or rental car reimbursement because recall is company’s fault and they supposed to provide loaner car so I decided this is my last vehicle from Ford.

We bought a Ford Ecosport awhile back. It was recalled months later. Calallen Tx Ford has got to be the worst around. We almost died on the highway when it shut down. Two 18 wheelers, thank God, we're paying attention swerving to miss up. Not too long later it broke down again, because they were refusing to accept the fact of it being recalled. They sent two techs out about two miles from the dealership. They said, yes it was a recall. I said ok, can we get a tow back. They said no, and good luck. I'm a 100 % disabled Navy vet. I called Ford company but nothing. If this is the way y'all treat veterans, you can have it. I don't recommend any Ford to anyone. My PTSD level was so high, I had to have an emergency VA appointment for what happened. Never Again!!!!

Two weeks ago I brought my 2020 Ford Fusion into Ford with 30,000 miles on it because it was stuttering when I lightly accelerated between 20-50 mph. At first they told me I needed a new battery. That didn't help so then they told me I needed a new Torque sensor. They said I was 2 months past my 5 year warranty on the transmission and I would have to pay $2800 for it. I said I didn't have that kind of money so they told me to call Ford Forgiveness to see if Ford would cover a portion of it. Two weeks later, I find out Ford will cover about $800, making the bill $2,000. I appreciate them covering a portion, but having to pay $2,000 for a part that broke 2 months after my warranty is incredible annoying. I would have expected them to cover more. A car that's 5 years old and has 30,000 miles on it shouldn't need a torque sensor.

Ford does not stand behind their product. They had known issues with the ecoboost engine in the Ford Edge and several other models but it failed to address it in the appropriate time. They also have tech bulletins published telling dealers there was a problem but never had to notify the customers. Ford will never get another cent from me for junk that they produce. 2018 Ford Edge less than 50,000 miles on it basically scrap because coolant is leaking into the engine. Their tech bulletins state that this is a known problem. Poor manufacturing, poor engineering, and poor assembly in all their plants. Customer service does not even respond to emails.

This is very sad that I have to write this but since 2019 my wife and I have spent over $500,000 on Ford vehicles we currently own 2024 King Ranch F150 and a 2023 limited expedition stealth package Ford F150 we’ve had for a year now has had nothing but problems. It has been to the service department four times for a sunroof leak has not been fixed. It has had water pump go bad and overheat. Front air dam stopped working, causing a check engine light, transmission problems, electrical issues with shorts in the dash, the CarPlay and it works here and there is at once to they cannot fix that at this time.
We have tried to get Ford to do a buyback on this truck and they decline it every time. They will do nothing to help get me out of this and enjoy a new one. They won’t cooperate with the dealer. They won’t get any vouchers and they are telling me too bad. If this is how I’m going to be treated with Ford, I will go back to GMC and get rid of both of my Ford vehicles and I will never own another.

I have a 2022 Bronco Sport that we bought in April 2020 with 20,700 miles. We are now are our fourth or fifth recall. I was headed to Colorado and the battery light and charging system service light came on 50 miles away from home. I had to have it towed back to the dealership. When the dealer called and said it was ready for pickup the next day and said it was due to the battery recall, I was pretty happy. I got in the car and the battery light was still on. They had to take it to the back and I waited an hour to find out the alternator was out. WTH. I had also noticed on my phone the alert that said my charging system needed serviced. That tells me they did not even start the car to check to make sure that was the issue. When I went in they said it would cost me $250 to do a diagnostic test on it to start. So, a diagnostic rest doesn’t include checking the alternator when you have a check charging system alert?
I called Ford on Monday because the alternator was fine until the battery went out. I explained that too, should be covered on the recall. The first girl was an idiot. She claimed none of my info was correct and they would not submit it. I called the dealership where they got it and they sent over what the customer service rep would see so I called back. This girl was smart enough to look at my name and see they had put the first three letters of my last name in front of my first name and she said I would know within 24 hours.
I waited until Friday and called to see what was going on. When I did the girl who answers said they told me Monday they told me they would not cover it. I said that if you had told me that I would. Not be calling now. What a bunch of crap. If ford hadn’t used the wrong battery to begin with, this wouldn’t be happening. So, between that and the dealership not testing the alternator, they dropped the ball. I have been a lifelong ford driver but that is changing now. My grandfather was a Ford service manager and he would be rolling in his grave if he heard how crappy our experience has been.

After buying Fords for the last 50 plus years these last two Fords was my very worst experience. The 2016 Ford Explorer was the very worst and Ford only said, "We're sorry we can't help." My F150 which cost $60000 Started needing parts replaced at 20000 miles. The 2016 Explorer Platinum was a nightmare from day one. I have already got to of the F150 and am working on get rid of the Explorer. I AM not a supporter of Ford anymore. They don't take care of their buyers and I would not recommend them to anybody.

Never again will I drive another vehicle that needs to be Fixed Or Repaired Daily. My first Ford Expedition I purchased through military sales in Korea in 2008, no problems. My second was a 2015 f150 platinum. This one, while driving on cruise control back to Ft. Sam Houston, TX, the truck would suddenly slam on the brakes as if something was in the road, there wasn’t. Scared the shit out of me. There was a recall for this issue, I took it to a Ford dealer in San Antonio, and they told me the truck had already been in for that, and they would not fix the problem. I traded the vehicle, as is, for a Chevy.
The next problem I purchased was from patriot auto group in Chandler, OK never buy a used vehicle from them. Either they did know they sold me a flood damaged vehicle, or they didn’t know that they received a flood damaged vehicle, A 2017 f150 limited, which I thought was a good deal. Well, it took eight weeks to try to get the driver’s side running board to work properly. I finally had to call the little red head guy (one of the owners) to get the dealer to install new aftermarket running boards.
This same truck, while driving, ALL the electronic warning lights, headlights, signals and radio would start flashing off and on, the horn stopped working and the truck would shut off while driving, all I could do was to roll to a safe spot to pull over and stop and still does not work. So, I took the truck to Bill Knight Ford and they charged me $4000+ to fix this issue, so I thought. They told me something had leaked and caused the damage. After I received my truck, I drove for about 2 ½ weeks and the same thing happened. No worries right, just take it back and have them correct it right, it was paid for. Well, bill knight ford called me and told me it would cost $11,000 to repair. WHAT?! I paid you $4000 to repair it, nope!
After I put up a fuss about the work being guaranteed I was told, “OK, we’ll discount what you have already paid”, what? What have I paid already? Well bill knight was going to discount the four grand I had paid them to fix the problem, again, I was told that they would knock $4000 from the $11000 cost to repair what I had already paid them for and what they supposedly fixed.
I called Progressive to file a claim and to make a long story short, progressive insurance told me my truck was not covered because I purchased progressive insurance in Texas so that progressive would not cover the repair in Oklahoma. Progressive also informed me that the windshield had been replaced. I still have the truck and I AM going to sell it, AS IS, just like I did with the platinum and if anyone gets injured due to the faultiness of the vehicle, it’ll be on ford, I have proof that I tried to fix it and my truck was found on road dead!

I've been a loyal Ford customer for over 25 years, with 16 Ford vehicle purchases during that time. My continued loyalty has always been based on my trust in the Ford brand and its commitment to standing behind its products and customers. Unfortunately, my most recent experience has been extremely disappointing. My current vehicle is only 191 miles over the warranty limit, though still within the warranty time frame. Yes, I understand the “whichever comes first” clause, but given the circumstances and the nature of the issue, I believe Ford should make this right.
I’ve been dealing with delaminating headlights, which is a known issue on the F-250. Ford has acknowledged the problem and offered to cover a portion of the repair, but in my opinion—and based on past precedent—it should be covered in full. I initially brought this concern to the dealership’s attention back in December, well within the warranty period, and at that time it would have been replaced without hesitation. Unfortunately, I never heard back from the dealer regarding the next steps. Around that time, we experienced a series of devastating wildfires here in California, which shook many of us and naturally shifted our priorities. I didn’t follow up immediately, assuming I’d revisit the issue the next time the truck needed service.
I attempted to schedule service last week, when the vehicle was still under both the mileage and time limits, but the dealership was unable to get me in until this past Wednesday. By then, I had crossed the mileage threshold, though again, still within the time frame. Given the issue was originally reported under warranty, and given the known defect and circumstances around the delay, I respectfully request that Ford fully cover the repair. I’m not asking for anything beyond what is fair—I simply want Ford to stand behind its product and take care of a long-standing and loyal customer. I am also requesting that this be escalated to a higher-level representative. I do not wish to speak with customer service, as they have been unhelpful and unable to provide any real resolution thus far. I appreciate your time and look forward to hearing from someone who has the authority to make this right.

We looked forward to purchasing a brand new 2025 Ford Bronco Heritage. On May 2, 2025 we purchased one (side note: This was a brand new vehicle from the factory with only 9 miles on it) only to have it "break" down that same day. The brakes weren't working properly and it was extremely difficult to stop the vehicle. The diagnosis was a broken power booster for the brakes.
You would think that wouldn't be a big deal. Well, the part doesn't "exist". We have to wait for them to make some. It's June 9, 2025 and the Bronco still sits at the dealership. Last week, I was informed by Ford there was, there is a waiting list for this part. They couldn't provide me with the basic information of how many people are on it and where my husband is on it. This week, I'm told they don't know when they will get this part. That there's no back order for it. I don't even understand that. I guess we are just suppose to keep paying on a vehicle we can't drive.
We can't use the lemon law since they haven't tried to fix it 3 times. Currently, there is no known recall for this part and we couldn't find anything about this being a problem. Yet, there's a waiting list. I have made several calls to Ford with no help. Basically, there is nothing they can do. They wouldn't even transfer me to a manager that handles the ordering of parts. Because they don't have one. That the dealership supposedly handles parts. I don't believe that. Who orders them for the Broncos they are currently building in the factories. Why can they still build Broncos with no problems but can't find a part for one that was sold. Meanwhile, it's summer and we can't do anything with a vehicle we purchased. All we want is the part. That's it! Will never purchase a Ford again. I will update if we ever get our Bronco fixed.

I have been an avid Ford pickup consumer for 30 years. My 2016 F-150 XL 4x4 was my last Ford purchase. With 117,000 miles my mechanic told me that there was a service recall that requires a total engine replacement. Went to the dealer that I purchased truck from, with my extended warranty in hand. I was basically told that it was worthless, after paying a few grand at truck purchase. Repair cost was going to be 10-12K. Ford, you get no more of my money. If this is how you treat Ford loyalty, I will bad mouth you till I die. No wonder American is going to hell in a handbasket.

In all my years driving Chevy, I've never had so many issues with the fuel system. Since purchasing my 2018 Ford Ecosport, it's been parked due to the fuel system not often than not. Can't find an affordable mechanic who knows what the fuel pressure sensor is, no one knows where the fuel pump is. I can't find much info online for my car. I have to go to the overpriced for company to change my fuel filter. A party that's normally $9 and easily changed could end up costing me hundreds. So disappointed with my purchase. I always drove a Camaro, later ended up with a for and had a lot of the same issues I have now. But this one was practically new and I figured there would be less issues, but the issue have be constant and now I'm stuck without a car, still making payments and can't make money without a car.

We just had to replace the engine block in our 2018 Ford Escape. The car had 84,000 miles, but that is not enough to need a whole new engine. The cost was $11,000, and Ford paid $4000, but we paid the rest. Ford knew there was a design problem with this engine. Coolant leaked into the engine itself. Ford had an offer of replacement, but that ended in 2022.
Contacting Ford did nothing to help, since we were told they had already paid $4000. We learned online that 2018 (and the years just before and after that) all had some engine problems with various models. We were never contacted about a recall, and we always maintain our cars. There have been class action suits regarding this issue of the engine replacement. After fifty years of owning Fords (two Escapes, one Taurus, one Edge, one Explorer, and one truck) we will NEVER BUY ANOTHER FORD. Their quality has declined and they do not stand behind their products. So much for buying American.

Do not buy a ford. I have had the worst ownership experience of my life with them. I purchased a new Ford Escape from Coastal Ford in Squamish nine months ago. The vehicle has not functioned properly for 8 of those months and neither ford nor the dealership has stood buy the product they sell. The faults have included the lights switching off at night when the automatic high beam feature activates and the emergency braking system engaging for no reason. Apparently this is not considered a safety concern by either ford or the dealership.

My Ford Ecosport broke down because of a recall part on 3/4/24. The recall fix was (and is) not available. It is now a year later and I still do not have my car. They finally replaced the engine in December, I got it back in the middle of January. Drove it 2 days and it broke down. It was diagnosed at the local dealership and is going to cost $450 to fix. Ford offered to pay $140 of it. Remember this is a brand new engine but I do not have a warranty on it, because my original engine warranty was expired. Let me add, that this new engine still has the 'bad' recall part.
I will say that they have provided me a rental car but of course I have to pay upfront and am usually about 3 weeks in the hole! And I am not made of money! I have spent HOURS on the phone with Ford and get a different story each time. Plus after my car sat for 10 months and didn't get driven, the battery is acting up. If I ever get it back, that will be the next fight. I do not think I will ever own another Ford!!! Of course I haven't had my Ford in ONE YEAR!!! I will also say the service people at the 2 dealerships I have worked with have been wonderful!

I really want to be a Ford customer, but never again! We owned a 2019 Mustang purchased new and I have no complaints about that vehicle. We also own a 2017 (purchased 2 years used) and 2018 (purchased new) Ford Raptors. Both required extensive parts replacement and repairs over the years. Despite having the extended warranty (4K+), I am over 20k worth of repairs on the 2017 including cam phasers and fuel injectors. The 2018 Raptor I’m in 30k in repairs and replacement costs, it is currently in the shop with an estimate of $8,800 in repairs.
We drive these vehicles on the road, occasionally taking them up the mountain to ski. I cannot fathom why we have these expensive repair cost. I really love the comfort, technology and power of the Raptor but for the maintenance and repair cost I could have bought a Lamborghini or some fancy luxury car. Super disappointing and frustrating. Avoid the Ford trucks. As a side night, my father bought a new Ford F-150 Lariat in 2023. The battery died weekly and he had it in the shop constantly for over a year. The maintenance techs didn’t know why the battery kept dying. Turns out the factory installed battery from Ford wasn’t enough to power that model. Poor guy was stranded in all kinds of remote places with a dead battery. He had to solve himself by going on the Ford forums from customers and researching himself!

I bought a 2018 Ford Explorer brand new. There was a recall issued in March of 2024 which I was never notified about. Once I found out I was in contact with my Ford dealership they told me that Ford has not supplied them with the parts to fix the recall. It is now January of 2025 and the recall on my Ford Explorer still has not been addressed. The recall is on the weather stripping around the windshield, the clips and the windshield wiper crawl. There is so much wind blowing in around my windshield when I drive down the road it is very loud. If the wind is coming in I am sure that the rain is getting in also.
I am absolutely sure that Ford will not be willing to fix water damage and mold even though that too will be their fault. I called customer service at Ford motor company and was told that Ford expected to have the recalled address by the 3rd quarter of last year and it still is not fixed. Please Ford I paid $40,000 for this vehicle, the least you can do is make sure that you fix the recalls in a timely manner.

I purchased a new 2024 Ford Lightning Flash Edition. I had the vehicle for three weeks and 854 miles, only to find out it would not charge at the Level 3 public chargers. It has been at the dealership since October 22 and the mechanic and Ford engineers are not able to figure out the problem. I was offered a cash and keep or a replacement vehicle with the same MSRP. I refused both offers and decided to go with a repurchased with NJ Lemon Law. I was surprised to see that Ford is charging me $.52 cents per mile for the 854 miles I drove the vehicle. Unbelievable!
The Ford RAV team (reacquired vehicle team) was not sympathetic or apologetic about my situation and really did not care about my situation. They just wanted to close the case as fast as possible. Multiple calls to customer service were redirected back to the RAV team since a case was already opened. The local Ford dealer did not have a level 3 charger installed at their shop and were traveling to the local Chic-fil-a to use the free charger so they could duplicate the error codes. Also, they only have one electric vehicle mechanic onsite and he was overwhelmed with other EV problems similar to mine including defective high voltage battery modules. Ford and the local dealers were not prepared to properly support the EV fleet and the consumers are stuck with a poor customer service experience.

I have been a Ford guy since 1997. this is my 4th f150 truck and it will definitely be my last. In May 2022 I bought a preowned F150 xlt from my dealership in Brampton Ont Canada, on receiving the truck it was at 52,000 +km and at 60,000 km it started giving me a loud sound when starting as if it wants to jump out of park gear mainly in a mornings or after a short drive and also has a rough shift when changing gears. I took it into the dealer, on reaching I met the new vehicle manager who took a ride with me to experience what I was talking about, I was asked to bring it in the following week, after their assessment I was told it was a software issue that they will have to reset because the previous owner driving habits are different from mine, I was then told to drive it for 1,000km for it to make adjustments.
After about 10 to 11 months the sound can back but wasn't as bad as before and only happens once in a while, and 3 weeks ago it started skipping gears with a slamming sound when changing, once I even stopped at the stop light and it was stuck in the 7 speed and I have to be gasing it before it change back in 1st speed. I called Ford Canada to find out if there was any recall on the problem because after doing my research I realized there were a lot of people having the same problem.
Ford have been having major issues with these transmission since about 2018, the lady I spoke with at Ford Canada ask me to take it back to the dealership where I was told after their examination that I had missed 2 software updates that I did not get a notice or a copy about, now I'm been told that the transmission not a rebuild, I informed the dealership that it had called Ford Canada and lodged a formal complain since then the dealership have been back and forth with Ford Canada over the matter which they are now told the rebuild will have to be at my expense which is about $6,000 Ford Canada is not willing to cover the cost when there is definitely a defect with the transmission.
I ask the dealer what about the power train warranty because the truck is only at 85,000 +km they said it is either 5 years or 100,000km and the 5 years has passed. This is now the 4th week my truck is at the dealership in I can't get nowhere with resolving the problem, I have a loan car from them who they might ask me to turn in any time soon.

I’ll never buy a Ford vehicle again. I’m spreading the word everywhere I can how they treat their customers. I’m not talking about the dealership, I’m speaking about Ford Motor Company. In Jan 2023 I purchased a new overpriced F150 XLT. Two months later I couldn’t drive it because the rear axle bolt broke. I was stranded in the middle of nowhere ND. The dealership “fixed” the issue. A couple months later it broke again and I was stranded in below zero temperatures in ND again. I was able to limp it back home 13 hours away. The dealership “fixed” it again. Apparently this has been happening to other vehicle so Ford sent out a recall on this issue but it wasn’t for a complete fix, it was more of a bandaid until they figure out what’s causing the problem.
A few months after the recall the same exact issue happened again. The GM of my local Ford dealership said Ford doesn’t know how to completely fix this issue and it would keep happening to me. This happened to me 3 times and I was left stranded and vehicle less I called the Ford Motor Company and explained to them that I had a lemon and I would like them to buy it back or replace the vehicle. Ford said no because it was a recall issue now and I had too many miles on the vehicle. What kind of customer satisfaction is that? I was completely screwed over and robbed of my money. Ford refuses to make this right. They just don’t care about their customers and they make a horrible product. Please don’t give Ford your time or your money. They’ll screw you over too. It’s all about the bottom line and their profit instead of the people who work hard and buy their vehicles. Please spread the word.

I've been an extremely loyal customer for Ford/Lincoln for nearly 2 decades now. Unfortunately, due to life circumstances and other factors, I'm not able to get another car given they're charging 50-100% more for their vehicles now on leases, even for those 25%+ lower in MSRP. It's extremely oppressive and cost-prohibitive. The company absolutely refuses to do a small act in my particular situation, which would be such a massive relief. Despite all the hardships, I've made every single payment EARLY throughout my time as a customer of theirs. They have shown they just don't care even a tiny bit for their customers, they have completely sold out and just pilfering any dimes they can. This is not the company I once evangelized for and fell in love with, this is a disgraceful shell of what was once a great American brand.

So I delivered my 350 Ford truck to the dealer to have fender trim installed and wheel well covers installed same day. They ordered the parts. Called them to find out the status of the parts. They could not find the parts. Took them three weeks to find the parts. Finally, they found the parts and evidently they forgot to mention that the parts needed to be painted to match my truck. They sent the parts out saying that it’ll take a day. Would you like to leave your truck and we will get this accomplished. It has been 10 days sitting at the Ford dealership. Every day I called.

Purchase my truck 7-19-2024. F 150 XLT. Traded in my 2022 Ford Explorer Platinum. They gave me $37,000 and put it on their lot for $47,900. When I got my new truck home, and looked it over good, I discovered damage to the roof. The truck only had 30 miles now. Sent pictures of the damage to my salesman. He asked if I could bring the truck in to the Service department. Hoping I could pick out a new truck, the service manager took pictures and other information from the truck. He said it would need to go to a body shop for repairs.
My salesman never showed up. He did call on my way back home. I asked later if I had any options, he talked to the sales manager, and he said, "No options, truck will go to the body shop for repairs." I wrote a 3 page letter to Ford Customer Service a month ago with no response. 2 months now and no body shop appointment. Tenvoorde Ford may be the oldest dealership, it by far not the best. I’m stuck with a truck that I’m afraid to drive.

I really wish I could give more stars to my 2021 Bronco Sport Big Bend, But I hope this review helps future buyers to stay away from these faulty vehicles. When I bought this car brand new in 2021, I was not to happy with the leg room and the interior, but overall I liked the look and the fact that I was getting a 4x4 with an estimated 28 mpg combined. I also bought it new, so that I didn't have to spend money in repairs or the mechanic. Boy, was I wrong. The vehicle itself drives smooth, but after driving it for roughly three years, with a little over 70k miles it started giving me engine problems. To the point that at only 80k (mostly highway miles) The transmission was slipping due to the torque converter being faulty - These was the actual diagnostic report done at a Ford dealership.
After filing a complaint with Ford Motors, they have agreed to pay 5k towards the repair cost, and I am responsible for the remaining 7k. On top of the 22k I still owe for the vehicle. So in my humble opinion, please stay away from this car since is no near reliable to last a decent amount of time. You are better off buying a used car, to avoid getting so deep in debt for a poor manufacture.

We purchased our 2020 Ford Expedition new in September 2020. We currently have almost 70,000 miles on it. Up until the 60,000 mile mark, we have had all work done on the vehicle at the dealership, utilizing the extended warranty we purchased at the time we bought the car. As meticulous car owners, I am shocked at how many issues we have had with this vehicle since we purchased it. This is the third Ford we have owned (previously owned an Explorer and currently also have Edge). I have written Ford numerous times about these issues and have received no compensation, apologies, or willingness to move forward with any recalls. This will be the last Ford we own and we make sure everyone we know is aware that Ford is not worth investing any time or money in.
• Our factory tires barely made it 40,000 miles. This is after being told tread depths were extremely low at one service at the dealership and the next they miraculously got deeper. I was given no other explanation by Corporate other than the vehicle has a 3-year, 36,000-mile warranty for tires, making it awfully convenient for my tires to be in the green at our 32,000-mile check (7/32”), yet in the red at our 41,000-mile check (3/32”), only 5 months and 9,000 miles later. We used our own judgement to replace the tires when we felt they had reached their limit.
• Our battery did not even last two years before having to be replaced. I was told this is “normal,” even though we have yet to replace our 2017 Edge’s battery.
• Our center console’s cupholder fell through completely, where exposed electrical wiring is but was thankfully untouched by liquid. Not only is this unacceptable for a car that is meticulously maintained by our family, but I have never in my life seen a cupholder fall through where safety is involved. I was told by the dealership this has happened a lot in Expeditions and Explorers recently, yet Ford refused to issue a recall around this after writing them in 2023.
• In October 2023, 3 days before we were set to have a 6-hour drive, our check engine light came on. I took it to the dealership immediately to ensure it was looked at before we drove it that distance. I was told they could not fit me in to see the car, which was unacceptable to me given the extended warranty we purchased and the safety issue this could bring upon us. I sat in that dealership until they figured some way out to look at the car – which was me driving an hour the following day to another dealership to have the car looked at.
After not even 20 minutes with the vehicle, the service department asked me who did my last oil change. I explained the local dealership where we purchased it had done them all up until then. He told me they never plugged my oil gasket and our car had been leaking oil all over our engine for a month. He said that if I had driven much longer on it, I would have compromised our entire engine and vehicle. I had to proactively call and demand something be done by the parent company of the dealerships, as the local dealership did absolutely nothing, barely an apology. I was given a reimbursement for my extended warranty that we originally paid for, but the warranty was not extended to include what I could foresee to be further issues with our car.
• As anticipated, at our 60,000 mile service (our final covered one), I brought up how we had felt a jerking and heard a loud noise when we would put the car in reverse. The dealership looked at it, and told us there is an issue with the lever and a delay when releasing the brakes to go into reverse. The cost of repair was over $2,000. Since we were only 300 miles over the 60,000 miles, Ford would not cover the fix completely – we would be responsible for about $500. I have found this completely unacceptable. As we have heads turn in parking lots when this happens, we have no problem putting the window down to tell people not to buy a Ford vehicle.
I have sent numerous letters to Ford with no response on anything. They refuse to recall their awful workmanship, acknowledge their lack of integrity, or extend the warranty because I can only anticipate the numerous other issues that will arise on this car in the near future. I regret continuing to support this company and will never again own a Ford vehicle.

In July 2021, we bought the new Ford Explorer ST thinking this was the SUV of our dreams but it turned out to be a nightmare because with 12k miles it started to make some noises, one directly from the engine and another that until today they couldn't find, so they opened the engine and changed CAM PHASERS AND OIL PUMP so we didn't make any report trying to change it. I sold it back, now in 2024 and with 30k miles this happened another time so for the 2nd time they were opening the engine, this time I decided to claim with Ford Moto to buy back or replacement, as this car is not a cheap car but this is being a problem because they say I should have done it the first time at over 18 months or 18kmiles.
I explained everything to them and they simply asked me to call Better Business and dispute there to complete it. They replaced the part for the second time and when the mechanic went to do the test drive he saw that the part that was replaced was defective and now this part is back order and there is no forecast for delivery. In short, if the BBB does nothing we will be with an expensive 30k miles car with on it and engine historic condition that has already been opened 3 times. So disappointed with Ford customer service.

WARNING!!!! If you purchase a new Ford vehicle with a prepaid BlueCruise subscription, you will NOT receive a refund for unused time. For example if your vehicle is damaged at a loss, you sell the vehicle, you turn the leased vehicle in, before your BlueCruise subscription is expired, you won’t receive any refund. Don’t bother with calling Ford Customer Relations for a solution. You are better off dealing with the dealer you purchased the vehicle, as if that’s a real solution. Ford doesn’t care about existing customers or retaining customers as is seen by their JD Power results, Consumer Reports, and NHTSA recalls. They have a major quality control issue which makes things worse for existing customers. This is particularly true for EV owners.
If you are considering a MachE please know that you may have issues with getting the vehicle serviced. Dealers don’t have the EV techs to deal with the number of EV vehicles. This translates to extremely long wait times for even minor repairs. Ford also will not provide a rental vehicle during the long service time for your vehicle. Your dealer MAY provide a loaner but it’s not required by Ford. An individual dealer can also refuse service on your vehicle or provide a loaner if you did not purchase the vehicle at that individual dealer.

My vehicle had been getting serviced by Ford Dealership and in January of 2024 I took it for transmission fluid change at 106k miles which is what Ford recommends doing. A couple days later I was with my family in Ohio at a family member's funeral, as I was driving back to Vermont around 3AM in the morning at highway speed I felt the car slowing down and coming to a complete stop in the middle of the highway. I thought maybe something went wrong with my cruise control since it was on. I was very lucky it was night time and none was behind otherwise it could've been worse.
I tried to drive the car but it would skip from 7th to 8th gear back and forth so I decided to pull over and got towed, took the car to the dealer just to be told that my transmission fluid is burnt. I don't understand why new fluid would overhit just after 2,000 miles. The dealer said they had nothing to do with it but ford could do something about it, so I called Ford and was told that since my vehicle is rebuilt, they can't help me. My vehicle was totaled from hail damage; only the rooftop and windshield were replaced, which has nothing to do with transmission overhitting after fluid change. Ford Customer Relation asked that I contact Ford Consumer Affair only by mail and I am hoping they can help.

Transmission shifted so hard it would literally slam you in the seat, took it in for that told me its supposed to shift that way, but they reprogrammed the transmission.

Then started leaking transmission fluid they replaced the pan.
Now 6 months after rebuild and out of warranty engine rattles so cam phasers need replaced again and transmission is shifting hard again and on longer trips (like driving for an hour and a half) I have transmission fluid all over the back of my tailgate and dripping. There is no warranty on the rebuild because it was rebuilt under the warranty and the warranty has expired. How does that make since? There should be a time frame for work regardless of who paid for it, the warranty or myself. I will never own another Ford. Ford does not stand behind their work!

On the fifth time it was while she was sitting in a parking space, jumping the curb and mowing down a tree. We took the vehicle to a dealership to be repaired. After two and half months Ford finally sent out an engineer to drive it for 9 miles. He then told the dealership to return the vehicle to us as nothing was wrong with it. The sudden acceleration has happened to both me and my wife so I know it’s not driver error. After speaking with Ford's customer relations center I was told that they were unwilling to do anything for us and that I would need to hire an attorney if I wanted to get this resolved.
The funny things is that 2 days after we brought our car to the dealership the same model came in for the same thing. Only their car plowed through 3 cars at a traffic light. Yet they still maintain that nothing is wrong with the vehicle. The sad thing is I can’t even trade it in as the car has dropped $25,000 in price since September of 2023. So I am stuck with a car that I will not jeopardize my family or anyone else’s family because Ford fails to stand behind their product.

Have to say that my experience with Ford's customer service and related policies and processes have left me speechless and rethinking my position of using Ford products going forward.
Poor communication, a single-skilled replacement mechanic, numerous other engine replacements in queue and constant delays resulted in it taking 6 weeks to get my truck back. Imagine if I had to rely on said truck for my income - as the rental reimbursement limit certainly wouldn't have paid for a truck.
After my truck was returned, I received zero calls, inquiries or "how the heck are you" touches from anyone in the chain. Then came the rental reimbursement, where I had to deal with a customer advocate and the dealer to get moving. A month later they cut a check, but 3 weeks after they said they cut the check I asked as to where it might be? The customer advocate said to "wait for it." I called the dealer (who cut the check) and they said they sent it to an address where I lived when I was a kid???
Evidently they googled my name and sent it to the first address they found, despite having all of my provided information at least a dozen different ways? Still waiting for a check...and I will state unequivocally that I will not be buying a Ford product or supporting Ford products in the future.

Then I called Ford Customer Relations and was told that recalls only applied to Safety items. So until "Freezing to Death" becomes a safety concern, don't expect any out of warranty replacement of failed parts? Lastly' I filed a Complaint with the BBB. The Ford rep stuck to What is legally, not ethically right. The truth is that new model vehicles have bugs to be worked out and I was trying to help Ford realize this, but they did not have the Quality System in place to handle this type of Failure.

To add insult to injury, I just received our latest invoice from Ford Credit to make our monthly payment on the vehicle.

Purchased my 2019 Ford F150, started having motor issues at about 29k. Kept going to dealers, kept getting lied to, pushed aside, etc. Finally found a dealership to address the issue, and have been waiting 9 months for a motor seeing that mine is bad. 2019 Coyote motors were known to have serious issues, and still 9 months later my truck sits. I still have to make that high monthly truck payment as I'm being told... We are trying to find a motor, using all my connections, Ford doesn't have any motors, Ford isn't making any warranty parts, they are worried about building new vehicles right now, etc. As I have shelled out over 7k in monthly payments to have my truck sit! When they get your money, it's now feeling like, "Oh well sucks to be you." Thought about trading my 2016 Mustang Gt in for a New 2022 Mustang Mach, but after careful thought I was like... "Are you stupid, they can't even do the warranty work on your truck..."
This is my 1st F150 after having Sierras all my life, it will be my last F150. And it's like nobody cares that my truck is just sitting!! A warranty is a warranty, it should of been taken care of right away. I tried to be patient, but those are gone now. I will hit every Social Media site I can and leave this review about Ford EVERYWHERE. Beware of buying a Ford, if this is how I'm treated, how will you be treated when the time comes?? Worst vehicle experience EVER!!!

It was only a matter of time that yet another corporate behemoth flexed its greed muscles by filing for a patent to disable a vehicle whose owner is late on payment. It seems as if the engine of corporate and political greed has no bounds, and will reach into every aspect of consumer's lives. We can probably be grateful that they don't just blow up the vehicle in your driveway for a missed payment. I will NEVER own a Ford vehicle, my first one (Ford Maverick) was a piece of garbage as it rolled off the lot.

After waiting 27 months, Ford sent me an email that my Bronco order is being cancelled. No refund of my $100 or the hundreds (if not thousands) I spent on add-ons for my new Bronco they promised me. To say I was shocked to receive this email is an understatement considering Ford just confirmed my order again on 10/29/22 from Sunset Ford. I brought that confirmation to the dealership to make sure my car was being placed into production, which was confirmed by the dealership.
My original Ford Bronco order was confirmed on 10/22/2020. That was when I lived in Portland, Oregon. I moved to WA and my reservation was moved to Sunset Ford in Sumner sometime last year. I've been receiving updates on my order every few months and I even attended the Bronco Off-Rodeo event in May in Nevada. My best friend ordered a Bronco a year later than me and just received his Badlands 4 door WITH A HARDTOP and LUX PACKAGE a month ago in Albuquerque, New Mexico, where he lives. I was confident my Bronco was coming up quickly since I received a confirmation on 10/29/22. I even bought a mesh sun-shade for when the top is removed in the summer.
How would other orders placed AFTER mine be received, and I receive this insult of an email. I took the $2500 incentive email to Sunset Ford where they have 2 4-Door Broncos for sale. Not only do they not honor the $2500 incentive, but they will only sell one of their Broncos with a $10,000 "Market Adjustment" increase on top of MSRP. I showed them the email and it might as well have been in a foreign language. It was a downright embarrassing experience. I've been eagerly waiting for 27 months for my Bronco, attended the Off-Rodeo event, visited the dealership several times to confirm my order and check out their stock of Broncos. Now I'm told my order will be cancelled if I don't remove all the options that make the Bronco a Bronco? What do I do with this $300 sun shade now?
If my order is cancelled, I would love to know who's ahead of me. I've personally seen people order my exact same Bronco after me receive their order already. It's been a pretty degrading experience and I feel a bit foolish expecting Ford to honor their commitments or care about one customer.
There's likely not much legal recourse, but no one in my family will ever purchase a Ford based on this experience if you don't come through with the order as promised. If there's a class action lawsuit in the works, please let me know. I'd like to how the $2500 incentive works if your dealerships won't honor it. Every representative from Ford has said to NOT buy the soft top, so why would I want a soft top for a $60k plus daily driver. That can't be serious. Please explain how you're going to remedy this situation. I've sold vehicles and bought Bronco add-ons based on receiving a Bronco this spring. I'm feeling very humiliated by this over two-year experience with Ford. Never again. Please don't make the same mistake I did. Do NOT order a Ford product.

Their service advisors are very nice and professional, they can only do with what they are allowed to do. This is more of a review on Ford than it is the dealerships. If you have to bring your car into service and it stays for a period of time, you will never be provided a loaner car or rental car provided, regardless of what kind of warranty you have, I have confirmed this with the dealership and Ford Service Group. I like Fords and have owned them most of my life. Unfortunately I will no longer because of this. Ask yourself, can you do without a vehicle have the income for a rental out of your own pocket for a month, 2 months or longer. That should be added into your purchasing decisions when buying a car.

We prepaid for oil changes and tire rotations when we bought the car, but we have to argue with the service department every time we come to get one. This time we were also told that the Ford factory installed two-piece lug nuts were fused and needed to be replaced. I was told to go to an auto parts store to buy my own one-piece lug nuts and that the technicians at the dealership would install them after rotating the wheels. Then I was told I would have to pay extra because of the additional labor it would require to remove the defective Ford parts and replace them with the ones I bought from an O'Reilly, even though we had prepaid for this service.

Worse service ever, I am a really good customer, more than 15 year loyal to Ford. Last year I bought a Ford Expedition, what a nightmare!!! Transmission felt apart, and instead of replacing the whole part they just replaced some parts. After 4 weeks waiting for my car to get fix, and paying a rental car out of my pocket because they did not even gave me a car, using stupid excuses, next day after finally I got my car back. It was leaking oil.... So they are useless, and provide the worse service ever, they do not care about customers anymore. Guess what?? My car is at the dealer again waiting to get fixed.

My name is Nicole **. I bought a Ford bronco outer banks in May 2022. On July 20th I was driving my bronco with the top half off, which bronco has a video on how to put it back. It was fully locked in. I drove in with it fine. On my way home it blew off the roof completely. I have two people who witnessed it happen and watched it completely blow off. I cried and cried because it pulled the car off the road. If I would have had my two young kids they would have been injured. The roof got completely damaged. To get it locked back on my 200 pound guy friend and I had to jump on the roof.
As soon as I got home I called my dealership and Ford corporate. The dealership said to bring it down they would look at it and give me a loaner. Ford corporate said they would cover it completely because I have it under warranty and the locking mechanism gave out. The Ford corporate girl's name was Sierra **. She was very nice and reassuring. She told me this was not my fault and Ford would pay for my $850 car payment while it was down. The dealership kept my bronco for 29 days. They demanded their loaner back and said they couldn’t tell if the roof was my fault or fords. Told me it would cost me 16,000 to fix it.
I was in contact with Sierra during this whole ordeal. She kept reassuring me that everything would be taken care of and Ford would take care of my payments. She said how it was absolutely not my fault and she would get the situation figured out. She finally called me today, august 23, 2022. She stated how Ford will not cover it under warranty. She said how the dealership said the roof locked. I said, "Well yah it did" and I said they are lying because it can’t be easy to get locked. It’s not safe to drive, it’s leaking water in when it rains, and the doors are hard to open because they are getting caught on the roof.
I asked her if I could speak to a higher up person about this. And she said no that she has done everything she can do. I’m so disgusted with Ford. I bought every warranty in the book and the bronco is only two months old. My friends said they will absolutely never buy a Ford vehicle after seeing what I am going through. Ford does not care about their customers at all. Ford will go behind customer's back and breech warranties. They make enough money to fix the roof. And look at how they treated me. It’s ridiculous. Never again will I buy from them.

I have owned 8 Ford vehicles over the years. A 1978 F 150, A 1988 Ford Escort, A 2007 Ford Focus, a 2009 Ford Freestar, a 2013 Ford Focus, a 2012 Ford Focus, a 2019 Ford Fiesta, and now a 2021 Ford Ecosport. Two of the vehicles listed here got great gas mileage... and they averaged between 35 and 40 miles to the gallon on a regular basis. They are the 1988 Ford Escort and the 2007 ford Focus. The 2012 and 2013 Focus cars had major transmission problems, and the common denominator was the 6 speed Power shift Automatic Transmission.... or to put it bluntly, the biggest lemon to ever be made by Ford in the 21st century. They got around 29 miles to the gallon when they were working properly. I got rid of them.
The 2019 Fiesta was promising but I went with a manual 5 speed, which proved to be a bad set up because at 65 mph in 5th gear, the RPMs would hover at 3100. Unacceptable... so I traded it in for the 2021 Ford Ecosport. Let's see... torque converter 6 speed automatic transmission powered by a 1.0 - 3-cylinder engine. I'm thinking that this will be a good thing, right? Wrong.
Here is what I've discovered in the 10000 plus miles I've put on it since purchasing it. Average mpg - 28.5 highway. Transmission doesn't like cold temperatures at all. It takes forever for it to shift through the gears when going down the road on a cold day after a 5 minute engine warm up. In one instance I was stuck in 3rd gear for about 2 miles hovering at 4500 rpm before it shifted. Once the transmission warmed up, it was fine. This however never happened with my 2007 Ford focus (pre lemon transmission era). My wife's Toyota Camry averages 43 mpg highway. We know because we check it often.
So how does a mini SUV like the 2021 Ecosport, get beat out by a 2007 Ford Focus and a 2012 Toyota Camry in the MPG department? The answer is simple, Ford stopped caring about quality and performance at some point and built a bunch of hyped up cars that couldn't live up to that hype. My experience with Ford has made me more cautious at any dealership. I spend more time researching vehicles now. I will say that the Ecosport in my driveway will be the last Ford I every sink a dime into. I will never again buy their vehicles because quality is not job 1 at Ford anymore.
In my future, Toyota will be the car that I invest in. No wonder Ford resorted to just making Trucks, SUVs and Mustangs, and did away with all of their other cars. When I was a teenager, I wouldn't have given Ford a thought because I figured that Toyota cars and trucks were going to dominate, and it turns out that I was right. I gave Ford a chance 8 times and they let me down. In the 21st century, Ford went backwards and started to produce bad products. Oh, they look nice and all but they turn out to be disappointments. When I was in the Army, my barrack buddy had a 1985 Toyota Corolla... and he was getting 41 MPG on a car with over 200,000 miles on it and it was at that time already 11 years old. So MPG must be something Ford decided to ignore when producing vehicles in the 21st century. If I worked for Ford, I would leave and go work with a company like Toyota.
Ford Motor Company, I hope you read this review because I'm being as brutally honest about this as I can possibly be, without saying anything derogatory. With gas prices at an all time high... the last thing I need is a Magical Mystery Gas Guzzler. One more thing, I'm having a bumper sticker made that says just that, and I'm putting it where everyone can see it because people need to know that Ford is not the company that they could have been. I have to say goodbye to the dealership that I have dealt with for 20 years because all they sell are Mustangs, Trucks and SUVs and leftovers of cars that are being discontinued.

In 2016, we purchased a Ford Focus (with the dreaded automatic dual clutch) with ~35,000 miles. We paid extra for a 100,000 mile extended warranty. Within the first few months of owning it, it started shuddering. We took it in and they suggested we use an aftermarket air filter (green filter). We did so, and the shuddering was reduced.
Five years later, the car has 67,000 miles on it and it started shifting pretty hard and the shuddering was more pronounced. We took it in and I told them I suspected the TCM was bad (which was still under warranty). They told me I was wrong and it was the clutch (which of course, isn't under warranty). I said that didn't sound right because the clutch was rated for 100,000 miles... So either the TCM was bad, the TCM caused the transmission to shift improperly, which caused the clutch to wear out prematurely, or it was a defective clutch.
We went back and forth and they ENSURED me that it was the clutch. $1,600 and a new clutch later, they call me back and tell me "Actually, I guess it IS the TCM." When I asked about a refund for the clutch, they told me to pound sand. The car has now been in the shop waiting on a warranty repair for the TCM for over four months. We call weekly for an update and there is still no expected completion date. They said it could be as long as a year. We just want to get it repaired and sell the piece of crap so we don't ever have to deal with this headache again.

Ford Motor Company ignored and did not respond to our complaint about serious defect in the cruise control! We have a 2021 Ford Transit 3500 with only 2,200 miles. While cruise was set at 70 mph driving on I-5 in Late October it slowed automatically to about 40 MPH while in right lane as we were approaching a traffic slow down in both lanes. We moved into the left passing lane at about 35 MPH at that time and traffic was starting to slow down when suddenly and surprisingly the Adaptive Cruise Control accelerated violently towards a vehicle in the left lane which was stopping quickly directly in front of us. It was like we were going into warp drive on Star Trek Enterprise with another truck almost stopped right before us! It happened so fast that it seemed hitting the brakes did not slow us down or cancel the cruise control. We had a horrible collision with the truck in front of us at maybe going about 45 to 50MPH causing deployment of the front airbags.
It has been so very disappointing that Ford Motor Company did not respond to my appeal on 10/29/2021 to answer our concern when I communicated with the online representative on the Ford Website. The associate I communicated with would not answer my questions or address the issue so I asked for her to forward this concern to her supervisor or manager, which she agreed to. I also called the general Manager at Damerow Ford in Beaverton Oregon and explained the situation. I had ordered the truck through them from the factory. The result was also zero help and guidance also.
My auto insurance carrier did not want to address this issue saying that since the personal injury was minor it did not merit them getting involved investigating the possible defect in Ford's product. We sustained back and neck injury and are still experiencing pain from the wreck 2 months ago. Also the truck is at a dealer now awaiting repairs and rebuilding. I would like to recommend that to save lives, injury and damage to property that Adaptive cruise control from Ford Motor Company be used with extreme caution until the manufacturer stops ignoring this concern and does their job to protect their customer.

I own two Ford vehicles, a F350 Ford diesel King ranch 2016 and a 2018 Ford explorer Platinum two of Ford's top of the line vehicles. The Ford explorer third row electric seat began having issues within the warranty period at 21k miles and within 1 month of the vehicle warranty expiration. Just a couple of weeks after the expiration of the 36th month warranty but well within the 36k mile warranty (25k miles on The vehicle) third row seat would no longer operate (only having been used a few times). One of the main reasons we purchased the vehicle was for the third row seat for our grandchildren.
After several trips to two different dealerships it was determined that the wire harness would need to be replaced and in order to do that apparently much of the vehicle needs to be disassembled. A very significant effort and expense to repair. I felt surely Ford would stand behind me and rectified what was clearly a defective mechanism. After several months of back and forth and Ford stringing me along ultimately they would not provide ANY assistance. Worse multiple requests for them to provide that decision in writing were simply ignored. I have never been so appalled at a major corporation's lack of professionalism in handling a customer service issue. My experience with them has left me realizing that FORD is a two-bit company not interested in customer service or standing behind their product. FORD NEVER AGAIN.

Ford finds fraud to be an appropriate means of snaking customers. According to their marketing department (Connor), this is a typical practice. They hire a 3rd party company to get information so that ford can send emails about “deals”. My father received an email that stated he could save $3500 on a new truck. He went to Woltz and Wind Ford to take a look and was set to buy until his salesman noticed something. His so called offer email was attached to someone else’s address. Mind you he’s lived in the same place for 45 years. How is it that a “marketing” company could screw up something so blatant? Then when you contact marketing they tell you that they have no ability to correct the problem. Here’s where the fraud accusation comes in.
Dealers are still willing to submit the paperwork with the numbers for the “so-called rebate”. So customers, like my dad would be turned down for the $3500 rebate. I don’t know about the rest of the world but that’s a lot of money. They’re fraudulently using “buyer’s” emails attached to an unknown address to entrap the “buyer” into a contract that they would be stuck with. A rebate email never geared to work. Hopefully others would not be duped by their “snake-like” behavior. Make sure you ask questions! I’m leaving this review Bc I made the phone calls to Ford.

Once I got to Boiling Springs, SC, on my display- a message came up "Low Oil pressure"...my car started slowing down and making a weird noise- so I got off at the next exit and called Ford Roadside Assistance. The lady I spoke to first quoted me $361 to have my car towed from Boiling Springs, SC to Charlotte, NC; I told her I'd call right back because I'd have to make sure I would have transportation from Charlotte to Winston Salem. She said ok, she would document and someone would help me when I called.
I call back- go through the entire story again about driving from GA, message, etc....I get quoted $569!!!! I tell THIS lady, that is NOT what I was literally just quoted 10 minutes ago on the phone. She puts me on hold, comes back asks me what location, blah, blah, blah- I tell her- she puts me on hold, comes back and says she cannot get this lady to understand what she is saying, I'm like, "That is not my problem- I am telling you what she told me and it's not fair to me that she quoted me one price and you want to charge me an additional $200 more." She talks to her supervisor---she will NOT waive the $200! (Oh, I haven't gotten to the best part).

I called again 10/4 and I was told they did not. - My question was: "Can you not contact the other dealerships in Charlotte," but I guess that would be too easy. I ask for Corporate's number and I'm told they can rent me a car from Enterprise BUT under the service plan they will only pay $35/day, I will have to pay $10/day AND I have to come to Charlotte to get the car--how the heck can I come get the car if you have my only mode of transportation? The customer care person I spoke with on 10/4 said she was escalating my issue and someone would contact me within in hour....this was at 12:43pm...I haven't heard a peep from anyone.

I purchased a 2013 Ford Focus as a new vehicle eight years ago. I soon regretted the decision after discovering other Focus owners had significant transmission issues and that the transmission was designed so the fluid could never be changed which suggested planned obsolescence to me. The transmission often shifted strangely despite periodic computer adjustments and tended to ride somewhat roughly in slow city driving.
While I had concerns about its useful lifespan, my Focus did a low average job of getting me from point A to point B until recently. As someone who believes in getting value from their purchases, I had hoped to drive the car for 10 to 15 years from the time of purchase. This should not be an unreasonable expectation for someone who makes certain that their cars have good maintenance and put only limited mileage on a vehicle as I no longer have a daily commute. In April of this year, the car developed an excessive shudder. The vehicle was in the shop for several days and the clutch had to be replaced.
One week ago, the vehicle would not start and seemed to be just a bad battery but the diagnostics showed a transmission control module problem. The part is on back order so as a previous post suggests it could be in the shop indefinitely. The mileage is still in the low 60s and the vehicle has been well maintained. The problem is the lack of quality in a failed transmission system rendering a vehicle useless before even reaching the 10 year milestone. I most definitely will never purchase another Ford product again.

The catalytic converter isn't covered under the "bumper to bumper" warranty. They aren't covered after 80k miles no matter when you bought the warranty. Such **. Zero customer loyalty.

Ford sold me new Ford Transit 2020 van and after only 6k miles and only few month of gentle use van's transmission broke. The van was making noise, no sensors went out so I kept driving and waiting for appointment to the shop for about 2 weeks. When at the shop I was told that all the fluid leaked out from transmission. I was driving this vehicle without transmission coolant for a period of few weeks so in my opinion the transmission is done and only a matter of time when it completely goes. People at the shop replaced the faulty part and send me on my way.
When I called Ford customer care department to complain and ask to at least give me extended warranty so I feel more confident in the vehicle, and to know if transmission breaks again at least it would be covered under warranty. Ford customer care representative (Kaytlyn **) offered me a free oil change, can you believe this? A free oil change? Which made me even more upset about the whole situation and ford customer service.
P.S They sold me a vehicle which was manufactured in January and I bought it in November, the van was passed from dealership to dealership with some miles on it until it found me and was sold to me as a new vehicle, salesperson failed to disclose this information until after the purchase. My advice is think twice before you buy a Ford product!

I just purchased a Thor RV with a Ford chassis. When I took it to a Ford dealer for repairs, I was told Ford built the 2021 F450 chassis to sell, but didn’t manufacture any parts. Therefore, it could be 6 months or very possibly longer before repairs can be done. The RV is not drivable and I live in it. Fords answer is to leave it on their lot until parts are made, no concern for the fact that I’m homeless in the meantime. It’s been four weeks now and I can’t find one person at Ford that cares! I would never recommend buying A new Ford.

My purchase was in April 2019, a used Ford Edge Ecoboost. 3 weeks after purchase I found myself stranded on my way home from work in rural Iowa. There were no prior warnings, notifications, etc; just a complete vehicle shutdown. Luckily I did not impact with anyone or vice versa. If I would have been on the highway only God knows what may have happened. Wound up having to have vehicle towed and engine replacement.... Bad start on a new to me purchase. Once again the vehicle is sitting dead in the water. This time came out of grocery store to a stalled vehicle. No indicators, it just won't start. The key fob is a possible cause, however over $300.00 for new key, it could be the battery, or the starter, or the alternator, or a fuse or 1 of the 10,000 electrical components under the hood....
Hmmm I also find it ridiculous that Ford does not provide service repair manuals FREE to vehicle owners. Come on guys. With the amount of recalls on your branded vehicles it's the least you could do. Anyhow I'd like to know why there has not been a recall on the 2012 Edge 2.0 Ecoboost turbochargers; there are so many of the stall while driving complaints it should be mandatory and would be humane. Ford should fix these issues especially during this time of chaos, change and unexpected futures, the last thing I needed was to have a vehicle that is non functional during the winter in the middle of a PANDEMIC. Hats off to Ford manufacturers and prayers out to those who, like me, still own one of their vehicles.

I have owned my share of Ford cars and trucks since 1979. I used to believe they were the best and the quality was off the chart. However of lately, my past two 2017 Ford’s were not the Fords I have had in the past. The quality has gone from 10 to about a 7 at best. I have recently owned and still drive my 2017 Taurus and recently parted with my 2017 F250 Diesel pickup. The truck wasn’t as bad as the Taurus but there were minor things. The truck had starting issues, and the quality of products used was not up to par in my opinion.
Mechanically it seemed to hold its own, I didn’t like how the computer limited its capabilities to be the truck it could actually be. As for the Taurus, it is a good mechanical sound driving vehicle as I expect from a Ford. However the body panels don’t line up, misaligned doors to 1/4 panels, the hood and trunk don’t fit correctly. I got a really good deal on it and didn’t take it to heart too much. But now after year 3.5 I am starting to notice rust sitting in the gutter of the trunk lid, that is unacceptable. There are a lot of people who drive Fords today or in the past because of my tenacity about them. However now not so much so. I recently bought my wife a Chrysler 300 Sedan, it is a nice well built car, I become more and more impressed with it over my beloved Fords.
I have owned probably over 50 vehicles in my life time, mostly Ford’s and a few GMs. Dodge hasn’t been a player since the early 70’s. Now they are back on the map! I am impressed and GM has made their way back as well. Ford needs to tighten up again. I was looking forward to possibly buying The new Bronco, however, I am really looking at the Rams and Dodges right now... If we continue to have good fortune with the Chrysler it will motivate me to move away from the Ford line.
Trust me I live and breathe Ford’s, my RV is The F53 RV Chassis with the V10, I love it! My late 90 and early 2000 Ford’s were much better, quality, craftsmanship and sheer engineering ingenuity. Just thought I would share. I have had at least one (1) Ford all my 45 years of driving. Not bad, but times have changed and so has Ford unfortunately. Breaks my heart. I hope they turn it around before it is too late, especially after dropping their automobiles. I plan on making a purchase in the next year, hoping to be my final purchase in my life time.

I bought a 2016 Limited Ford Explorer in November 2016, I was actually spoiling myself with a vehicle that wasn't 5+ years old. When purchasing from the dealership I had nothing but problems with the driving, had to take back multiple times as the alignment was very off. Turns out I was being sold the vehicles with tires that wouldn't pass inspection. So I just decided never to go to or use that dealership again. Now fast forward not even 4 years later. I was driving down the highway when suddenly I lose all power steering. I managed to get my vehicle back to my local Ford Dealer. I now need the entire steering rack replaced. That costs $2100 plus tax. This is ridiculous for a vehicle that is less than 5 years old. Called customer service and they say they will mark it as a case but until they have many of the same complaints or problems and Ford releases a statement there is nothing they can do about it.
I am just so appalled at lack of concern Ford has shown that this young vehicle has this serious of a problem. This is defective and should not be blowing like this. We've always been a Chevy family & took a chance on this vehicle, what a wrong decision I have made. I have never had to drop that kind of money on any vehicle, I drove my Chevy Trailblazer well past 200,000 miles before I had anything more than your wear & tear issues.
I remember over a course of a summer I had to drop about $3000 overall for those wear & tear issues. Now I have no vehicle of my own to drive until this is repaired and I have to wait a few days for parts to be shipped. So what am I driving while I wait for mine to be fixed? Well I am driving my Dad's old pickup, a 2005 Chevy Silverado. I had loved this vehicle up until now, and I am going to now look at getting rid of it because what other major problem is going to happen next. Plus I was lucky this time that no one got hurt, that I didn't get into or cause an accident when I suddenly lost steering control on a highway of 65 mph.

Purchased a Ford Transit 2020 from this place. I submitted my review for Ford.com but they did not publish it because it was a one star. Two main reasons for one star: They sold me a car without passenger seat. I thought I can install a seat. When I went to pick up the car, they told me it doesn’t have any passenger airbags. Factory removed them! If they have told me I would never buy this car. It is not safe to operate. It took them one 8 days to finish the paper work for my car, and they only did it because I keep following up with them.
I purchase that car remotely, by phone. We agreed on a price that was 300$ less than MSRP. They called me after a while saying that somebody else is willing to buy the car for the whole MSRP price and I need to pay the full price if I want it. Who changes his word for 300$, one a 50+K$ car? They removed a 1$ Funnel in the car to fill it from a canister. In my way home, I ran out of gas. I went to a gas station and filled a canister and came back then I couldn’t find the funnel to fill the tank and had to wait a long time for road side assistant. The passenger door on my brand new 2020 car rattled sometime and you have to open and close it several times to fix this. Need to the new car to the dealership.

This is a simple and clear issue. April 14, 2020 went to Big Valley Ford in Stockton California, located in the Stockton Auto Mall. My need from Big Valley Ford was a set of 4 new tires and a wheel alignment. Was told it would take 2 hours for the what I needed done. 1) I waited on-site at Big Valley Ford while the service was being completed, service personnel knew we were on-site. We were notified in-person by the Advisor our truck was done, within the 2 hour time frame. I was happy.
2) The Big Valley Ford Advisor had us pay our invoice prior to us taking our truck, the truck was slightly out of view so I could see while paying. After the payment we walked out to the truck and noticed the tires were installed incorrectly. The Advisor agreed the Tech installed the tires incorrectly, Advisor stated, "We will fix it." I was thinking okay 30mins is reasonable and asked how long, the Advisor stated it would be additional 2 hours for them to correct their mistake. The Advisor stated a new invoice would have to be created and my truck would be taken in the order of the invoice (My vehicle was at the back of the line again).
I was upset and the Advisor said they would check with management to see about a free oil change in the future. I said I didn't care about free stuff just get my truck in now and fix Big Valley Ford's mistake, the Advisor stated they could do that. So of-course I had no choice, I was upset and told the Advisor we were going to walk home. The Advisor said, "I could try to get you a shuttle ride home," I wasn't having the TRY moment again and walked home.
3) Big Valley Ford's Advisor called my home to let us know the tire were done correctly and the truck was ready for pick-up. I drove my wife to Big Valley Ford to pick up the truck, saw the tire were correctly mounted. Checked the tire pressure, the tire pressure was incorrect from what was placed on the invoice. I told the Advisor and asked how long would it take to get the tire inflated correctly, the Advisor stated it will be awhile. At this point my blood was boiling but kept my cool, I said never mind. I'll use my small electric air pump at home.
4) Drove the truck home from Big Valley Ford, we live about a mile from this dealership and parked it so I could get to it in the morning. I was hurting bad by this time (physically) from walking home. April 15, 2020 woke-up and went outside to air up the truck tires. I noticed one of the lug-nuts was wrong. I understand the newer vehicles have decorative caps over the lugs, checked the rest of the lugs and they had no play in the caps at all. This truck had 24 lug-nuts with no issues when I took the truck to Big Valley Ford the day prior, now I had 23 and one odd looking one.
5) Drove the truck back to Big Valley Ford and showed them, they promptly replaced the incorrect lug-nut. The mileage difference from the final invoice was around 2 miles, drove it straight home and straight back to Big Valley Ford. Spoke with the service manager at this time and all he would do is make excuses and downplay the problems I had, he said the lug-nut cap probably flew off when I drove home. I had him test all the others and they were solid, his tone changed a little however the manager just downplayed the series of mistakes as not being a big deal.
6) My background with Big Valley Ford, from 2003 to 2015 I have purchased 9 new vehicles for more than $300, 000.00 not including services. The last two NEW vehicles I purchased 2015 Ford Lariat Ecoboost 3.5L F150 FX4 ($60K) and 2015 Ford Fusion Ecoboost ($30K), I purchased the best warranty from Ford for both for over $5,000.00. The warranties expire in 2021.
7) I have handicap plates on my truck because I'm 100% disabled, this is why I hurt so much from walking home. Big Valley Ford Advisor knew this as I have had prior conversations about my military service and how I became disabled. 8) Big Valley Ford sent a free oil change coupon to my house and gave my wife 5 car-washes, again Big Valley Ford thinks giving free services makes things right. I told Big Valley Ford they had plenty of opportunities to make this right when it was happening. Customers deserve as a basic their vehicle returned in the same or better condition, all this mean is my truck should have been in better condition when I picked it up, New Tires. How many customers who didn't know Big Valley Ford made mistakes drove off, how many of these ended in accidents and people hurt or killed. 9) Ford Motor Company needs to get a head of this and do something to protect the Ford name and reputation.
Updated by ** · Apr 19, 2020. I forgot to mention I took the 5 free war-wash & Free oil change coupons back and gave them to the Advisor. Talked with the main manager and he treated my issue like I was a second rate customer and he also downplayed the issues with a lack of concern. I also paid cash for both vehicles (2015's).

The transmission is slipping badly but dealership says they can do nothing as no code is thrown. I pray that it completely goes out before warranty period is over so they might fix it. I almost forgot, there is an exhaust leak that dealership claims is not there. The transmission also leaked fluid beginning at 20k miles. Rear hatch mechanism failed twice under warranty. Now that out of warranty and failed again, they refuse to cover. Cannot open rear hatch. Rear window exploded on freeway in snowstorm. Nothing touched it.
Rear defrost was not running, only the rear wiper. Computer has shut down twice now and caused all of the dummy lights to come on when driving.

So again nothing, I have to wait and see if this supervisor will respond....I will keep calling and posting because this is the only way that I may help others not to make the same mistake and purchase a navigation system update by using the USB that Ford is selling for 152 dollars.
Updated on 02/12/2020: After I received an email from Ford customer service said that I need to call the Ford dealer director....after a month 1/2....I decided to call today again and I call 7 times asking for help....the last person that I talked to told me that I have to call 18009008458....navigation system customer support, so I spoke with Melanie, explain my problem and you are not going to believe this, she said that there is nothing she can do, that I have to call Ford customer service 18003923673...again.

Original Review: I'm the owner of a Ford F150 and I was advised by a letter from Ford motor company that my navigation system needed an update and for me to be able to have it I have to purchase. Went to the website and after writing down the VIN number and the navigation system code I paid 175 dollars. After a fews day I received and USB with all the installed instructions. The truck need to be running and it will take around 60 minutes, so I sat and followed the instructions, after a few seconds my screen was white and said navigation system error and then the alarm of the truck went off and the radio. So I decided to call to the number that it was showing in the USB box. Customer support. I was talking to a person name Jasmin. Tried really because her background was a baby crying, so she put me on hold. Wait and wait.
I decided to call my Ford dealership and explain the situation. The only solution it was for me to drove and get my battery. That resolve the sound problem, but my navigation system was white and showed a navigation error. So I decided to made an appointment to the following day which was Monday at 9am. Monday the only person who does fix this type of problem show up and say, "I don't have time today, come back tomorrow, maybe tomorrow." maybe? So I need another appointment to Thursday at 8am. There I was listening to the manager talking to customer service. "Doesn't she has a guarantee?" "Yes she has." "Well let order the part." Part? I just need an update.
As a result I have to paid another 107. The USB that I received from Ford motor company damaged my navigation system and a part needed to be replaced. I call Ford motor complaint department and explain all the situation, and after a month of calls and emails I received an email said this is the director phone number for you to call it. What I want, I want my money back that's all. There was nothing wrong with my pickup before all this update thing. Did I got my update. I don't think so no.

This is about Lugoff Ford and what has happened with Ford Corporate. Low levels of integrity especially when faced with legal grey areas. Spot deliveries should be removed as they do nothing but help the dealer and put the potential owners in a precarious position if the unapproved financing falls through. A disabled veteran, who has never purchased a new truck finally decides to make the leap, a dealership who on the surface seems amazing to deal with. One spot delivery and failed financing deal two days later, and the honeymoon is short lived.
Out of town and unable to review new documentation I requested the dealer to pick up its truck as financing had failed, it was their truck, and I couldn't give a yes or no until the paperwork was reviewed. Unfortunately for both parties, a drunk driver drove through my yard before my return, and broke the frame of this brand new truck. Putting on a wonderful front, attempting to help (at least on the surface), it seemed all was well. The insurance questioned who owned the truck, because documentation was never signed, and the fun began.
On the verge of harassment the dealership went so far as to say they would drive to wherever I was located to get me to sign the documentation, because, in their eyes, why wouldn't I sign the documents I never had a chance to go over. They went so far as to say that the approving credit union knew the truck was wrecked, and that it was deemed OK. A quick phone call to a branch manager proved that the dealership was lying and never disclosed the accident, as a result, the credit union started that neither I or they had financial responsibility to the new truck. The dealer then took the stance that regardless, I owned the truck, and it was my responsibility, and I was on my own. Calls left unanswered, phone calls never returned, and a GM who wouldn't make contact, in stepped lawyers on both sides.
A month later and the issue is unresolved, the dealer refuses to be amicable, and now they have gone so far as to push my personally identifiable information to ANOTHER creditor, obtain an approval without my permission or signature, and expect me to make a payment on a truck I have yet to sign for by the 7th of January.
As a disabled veteran, this is heartbreaking to be apart of, it has put me back in therapy. We have approached the VA and Prisma Health (my wife's place of employment) about publishing our story in their newsletter, as it obvious the only thing this dealer understands or respects is the bottom line. I will also be contacting, if approved, all local news outlets that are willing to listen, as this needs to be out in the open. I wonder how many lost customers this issue will cause? And for what? A truck? With so many Ford dealerships to choose from, Lugoff Ford (and by virtue the whole family of dealerships IE Lugoff Toyota, Carolina Dodge, etc.) needs to understand the repercussions of taking advantage of its disabled veterans and hospital workers.

My complaint is with Ford Motor Company. My vehicle was covered under the power train warranty and I noticed sluggish shifting and jarring in low gears. Because it was within 60k miles, I took it to their service center. They said they created ROI but couldn't do anything until a service light came on. It felt unsafe to drive but I did continue driving, the service light came on when it downshifted too far and red lined. I took video and picture of this within the vehicle, but the light shut off before I could get back to them. They claimed they couldn't recover the code, but they did have my picture proving light had been on. They also drove vehicle and confirmed the mechanical issue I experienced.
This is all documented, but both the dealership and Ford is unwilling to service vehicle to satisfaction and now vehicle falls outside warranty mileage. I have all invoice documentation and pictures proving this, and Ford also said they can't fix vehicles without service light. This all took place over the course of 6 weeks or so, not years or even months. They are avoiding their warranty obligation.
Shortly after, the service light came on and Ford confirmed what I already new, Transmission issues. Even though I reported the issue within warranty with ROI invoice created, Ford refuses to pay full cost of repair because light didn't stay on until just outside of warranty miles. This is definitely deceptive and probably illegal to not cover the repair, which is why Ford is offering to cover "less than half." However, I would never recommend purchasing from Ford again as they don't back their warranties. It's unfortunate as I've been a Ford owner of new vehicles for years, but I can't recommend anymore. Quality control and lack of Warranty consistency has hurt this once great American Brand.

Because of this, I was forced to buy another car that was not the same as I ordered or wait until???? Now I find out that ALL the things that I thought were part of the Black label package are ONLY available at certain select dealers. And none of these are near my house. I cannot even get a free car wash. Also, yesterday my wife had a flat tire and when she called Lincoln she was told that there was nobody close enough to help her. So naturally she called me to fix the problem but only after damaging the tire trying to get off the road.
My question is how does anyone lose a car like the one I ordered after it is built?? And when you pay $7,500 extra for Black Label you should get something other than someone telling you that they cannot help you. Lincoln has a long way to go, to get their standards up to the foreign dealers. I called Lincoln today, and was advised that they will file my complaint. I am sure I know where!!!!
The car is sitting in the garage after I removed the tire myself and ordered a new one. It will be a week to get this new tire, without the use of any car. All this just days before Christmas. Someone should tell me why a 74 year old who just had abdominal surgery 4 weeks ago had to remove the tire and why I paid some much extra for a Black Label that means nothing??? I am writing this after talking to Lincoln and realizing that once they have you money, they could care less.Robert **

I love that for a small hatchback it sits higher and has more headroom than all its peers. It has excellent acceleration as well as a very responsive ABS braking system, compared to its competitors in this class. The Ford Sync system and USB plug-ins were state-of-the-art when I bought it in 2013, and still work great. It has good shocks and very comfortable seats with lumbar support. The split, lay-flat rear seat gives a huge cargo space for a small car. Of all the hybrids in this class, this one sounded like the best on paper and turned out to meet or exceed my expectations...and still gets nearly 40 mpg on the highway. The one thing that wasn't well made was the handle release for lowering the rear seats. One side broke away from the cables under the seat so it doesn't work to lower the seat and is very expensive to fix- requires a total seat replacement, over $1000. So not worth it to me now.

I love my Ford Flex! My favorite feature is probably the built in jukebox where I can load songs from my CD's into the car and create my own permanent playlist. I also really appreciate the space in the car. We typically have two or three kids (including 2 booster seats) in the 2nd row and keep the 3rd row down for storage. The only negative about this car appears to be that it hates aftermarket parts. My husband maintains the vehicles and he's had horrible luck with parts from our local parts stores. As long as he uses factory parts (which cost a little more), the car doesn't reject the repairs. I will also say, that my car is a 2011 and it takes a while for the heated seats to warm up. Once they're warm, it's all good. Gas mileage is just ok, but it's not horrible for such a big "wagon" in my opinion.

The 1977 Ford Maverick is not for everyone. As a daily driver, it takes a bite out of your wallet for gas money, but that more than pays for itself in the compliments you will receive while filling up at the pump. The bench front seats remove the barrier between you and your passengers and make you feel even closer, while the expansive windshield and minimalist doorframes make it feel like you're driving in a moving clear glass box. Wonka's great glass elevator is a good mental comparison. While the carburetor makes for an bit of a lag on the throttle, with a massive boat like this, you'll want to slow down and let everyone get an eyeful anyway.

The Ford Edge; 2012 1st in its class to have been designed with the EcoBoost 4cylinder engine. That takes the 4 cylinder engine and by design and engineering turns the put-put into a vroom-vroom. Multiple areas for additional options if you are into all that swagger. Ambient light color selections (doors, feet, cupholders), Microsoft Sync option (navigation, hands free talking, Sirius Radio option). They failed to mention the Navigation only works if you have the vehicle's SD card. Without having the patches download due to a "Ford Notice" you cannot utilize any portion of the Sync system except phone and music. What a waste of storage space.
3 rows of seating give plenty of room for shopping, camping, lay down seats and lots of compartmental storage areas. An elongated moon roof which is simply awesome for those road trips to the coast or through the mountains. Towing capacity with the built in selector of overdrive. Pretty decent vehicle for blue collar workers. Downfall: gas mileage is not good as the hype portrayed. My Ford App requires you to use a Ford Dealer to access any of those benefits, and the old mighty don't lock your keys in the car unless undoubtedly you have your entry keypad set up. The code is located in the owner's manual, but if you didn't buy it from Ford you are SOL...unless you do a little research of course.

I took my truck to Sheehy Ford for a engine issue. Basically the truck would shut off while driving down the road. The dealer said we should replace the head studs, head gaskets, injector seals, fuel seals, oil passage seals. I was okay with all of that costing estimated $7000 and about 26 labor hours. That was 4+ months ago. They have had my truck for 4+ months. They replaced my radiator, why??? I don't know and the service manager doesn't know either. But I'm sure I'm getting billed for that somehow. Face to face I asked the service manager why they replaced my radiator. He said "I don't know".
I went to the shop to get some camping stuff out of my truck and was there for about 25-30 minutes. There were 6 vehicles in the shop and not one technician in there working. At one point a tech walked in the back door and grabbed an oil pan and brought it over to a van but dropped it and walked up to the front. I don't trust what they are doing mechanically to my truck. They in theory replaced my high pressure oil pump, but once it was all back together they had zero oil pressure. Did they replace it??? Well even the old oil pump was giving some oil pressure.
I can't get a response from the service manager anymore and I had to call Ford motor company. So far Tina has done a good job corresponding between me and the dealer but I'm not getting anywhere. Again 4+ months and over $4000 in rental car bills. I have yet to get my truck back and am still making payments and insurance on a truck I can not use. I wouldn't trust them to change my head light.

They assured me that once it perforates it would be covered because I was still way under the mileage and that the time didn't matter. Well, one month after the time portion of the warranty went out, it perforated. I took it to both dealers I had been dealing with and they wouldn't give me the time of day. Just said, "Your warranty is out, we don't want to touch it." Now I can't even get my truck fixed. Only one shop in my area will even touch rust work, but he wants close to $3500 to fix it and he has terrible reviews for quality work. Spoke to customer care and they said to just hope Ford releases some kind of reimbursement or extended warranty in the future. Are you kidding me?
The problem was clearly noted before the warranty expired. I could have easily poked a hole through the bubbles to make it perforated, but that would not be honest. I wasn't even looking for Ford to cover the entire thing, maybe just approval for the dealer to actually do the work and maybe a discounted rate. I was considering upgrading some trucks in my fleet to new super duty's as I've always had Ford, but given the way I have been treated the last few years by Ford, I don't believe I can bring myself to do so anymore.

I bought this car as a certified pre-owned and they replaced the battery before I bought the vehicle, they put the lowest-priced battery in the car.
The date stamp on the battery was 4/2017, and another sticker that said 3/36 meaning 3 years or 36,000 miles. I assumed that 3/36 was on the battery but apparently that is for the car warranty. Per Ford Customer Relations and the dealership, the date stamp means nothing and the battery would not be covered. Just keep this in mind if you experience this same problem.

The passenger side reflects anything off to the right side of the road like construction barrels, signage on fences, light poles, etc.. These reflections are a distraction to the driver. When these items or paint lines flash in my peripheral vision, they can be a distraction. Or when I take a quick look in my side mirrors to check traffic around me, the flash reflections of other objects off the chrome caps makes it difficult to concentrate on the actual traffic I’m trying to quickly assess.
Ford should paint the inside edge of the chrome caps with a flat black paint. I did this with my 2017 F350 Platinum dually & it solved the problem. Now the only movement I see is in the actual mirror itself. I painted only the inside edge of the chrome cap, which is not even noticeable to anyone looking at the truck from outside.This would be a very simple fix for Ford to do with the chrome mirror caps.

I have a 2010 Ford Fusion Sport. I’ve been good to this car but it hasn’t been so good to me. In August of this year (2019) I would’ve had this car for 9 years. After many repairs later I’m starting to think I should give up. I’ve invested too much money into this car. Over this last weekend, I had to get my motor mounts done. For the second time! Conveniently enough, I got them done 4 years ago. Motor mounts failed again but guess what? Warranty is only 2 years.
Another convenience is that when the repair was done, I went to pick my car up. Sure enough... 2 more problems. Power steering leaked out and ac doesn’t work. I’ve heard the horror stories of cars getting fixed just for the mechanics to break something else in the process. I’ve even recently had to get my left axle replaced. I’ve put in nearly 2 grand in repairs this year alone and the year hasn’t even met its halfway mark. Oh! And they also tell me my transmission might’ve been affected by the faulty motor mounts. It’s exasperating.
After a long dialogue with a rep via Twitter direct messages, I’m exhausted and tired of explaining the story over and over again. They just seem to give me generic responses saying they can’t find any warranties or programs that can help me. They asked for my VIN and my mileage. I’ve pretty much poured my heart out to them explaining that I have two kids and I’m a single father struggling to keep the bills paid but they don’t seem to care. It’s crazy how Toyotas and Hondas even Chevys are out here still kicking since 92 and even older with their original engine components. What a rip off. I’ll never buy ford again. If I were to even win a new Ford in a contest I’d trade it immediately for a more reputable company brand car. Thanks a lot Ford. For nothing. But in all seriousness. Thanks to Joe at my local ford dealer for trying his best. But, at this point, I can’t keep doing it anymore. I refuse to put anymore money into this car. I’m done.

I bought a Ford Transit Connect 2014. Was in the shop 3 times for its Fourth transmission. I was told that they would give me one or 2 payments goodwill. I ask Ford if they would give me a discount on a new car. They said no so when I got the POS transit back I traded it in. Now they say since I traded the car in they will not give me the payments they had promised. What a loser company.

Very disappointed with Ford Motor Company. We purchased 2012 Ford Focus with 92,000 miles for my daughter in college. Good dependable vehicle - after 1.5 months the SYNC radio started to go in and out. After about a week of this - completely black screen. My daughter is at college and could not get back to dealer we purchased it from - they made repair of the SYNC module for $907. I then found that Ford had a warranty for this issue, regardless of miles - but limited to 5 years.
So Ford says tough luck to me - while I find this terrible that with hands free and safety concerns that Ford would not stand behind this issue when they know they have one. My dad, My dads brother, My dad's dad, My mom's dad dad, 3 other uncles all retired from Ford Motor Company - some even drove test cars for Henry Ford 1st. I will never purchase another Ford product again after knowing that they know they have issue but refuse to address the issue when they know it was never fixed.
Areal was the man who took my call at Ford and said that no one else would ever tell me different - it expired and Ford does not care that the hands free is not functional for phone in their car they manufacture. I WILL ONLY BUY GENERAL MOTOR VEHICLES FOR THE REST OF MY LIFE - this is terrible service FORD MOTOR COMPANY. Shame on you. Gerald **.

Shift solenoid one time, I believe the computer to the transmission the other. $4,000 later! Now, I have a 2015 Ford Fusion, bought brand new. I work from home and really do not drive a ton, but average, slightly under. Has 50,000 miles on it.

I was excited to purchase my brand new F350 Super Duty. It came fully loaded and could tow like no other. Yesterday driving home with a trailer full of horses I experienced what has been known as THE FORD DEATH WOBBLE. We were driving around 65mph on a four line highway when we hit a small dip in the road. The wheels on the front end felt like they were coming off the truck, braking made it worse. We pulled over and when we slowed to around 5mph it went away. I called Ford customer service to file a complaint and they were HORRIBLE.
I requested a supervisor and was told none was available. I then called the national highway safety board and filed a complaint and got a case number. I then checked the internet and found 2000 plus complaints. Same issue. Ford acts like I was the only one with this issue. For the $80,000.00 I sure you could by a Dodge or Chevy that will not have this issue. SO DISAPPOINTED. We have owned over 20 trucks in our history and have never run into such a poor customer service experience as with Ford Customer Service.

I purchased a 2019 Edge ST and it's already been to the dealership twice. Neither of which they have confirmed anything (on paper). My transmission gets to 3rd gear then comes out of gear, continuing to rev, before finally kicking over to 4th gear after a couple of seconds. Same gear, every time. First time I took it in (January 2019), they said the tech couldn't duplicate it, so I took him for a drive. He saw what it was doing but because his little laptop didn't show anything, he wrote on the work order he couldn't confirm the issue. They cleared the adaptive learning it apparently has and all was fine for a couple of weeks. Then, same gear, same issue. Took it back (March 2019). Same response - can't confirm and it's not throwing a code soooo... here I sit. It also jumps forward when trying to slow down (ie pull into parking spot or stop sign) but I won't even make the attempt to get them to duplicate that issue.

My car is currently disabled from driving due to a severe transmission clutch shudder. I have been told many different things in regards to my vehicle by your customer service team. I also found that they had very limited empathy to the fact that my car was so significantly impacted by a clear manufactory issue that I almost got into a significant accident and was fearful for my life while driving it recently.
My car first experienced the shudder after a year of driving it. It was attempted to be fixed in February 2017 for the exact issue. The problem subsided for awhile, and then gradually came back. The first dealership that tried to fix the issue was All American Ford in Old Bridge, NJ. The people here were competent and were helpful, because they were reimbursed by Ford for their service.
The shudder returned of course. I went to a Ford dealership in Lakewood, NJ. Called Larsen Ford to see if they could look at the continuing issue. The service advisor Dave ** who I met with didn’t greet me. Another employee said hello and acknowledged me. Told me to sit in front of Dave. I sat in front of Dave, who didn’t even look at me while he was on his computer.
After, I guess looking into my VIN number finally addressed I was sitting there in front of him. Discussed with me that I had no available warranty on my car in regards to the transmission clutch shudder issue, and then stated that it might not be transmission clutch shudder issue without even looking at my car. I felt he didn’t even discuss or look at my car because he knew it wasn’t going to be reimbursed by Ford. He also made me feel like I lacked intelligence, probably because I am a woman and acted like I knew nothing in regards to the car’s issue when in fact it’s hard not to know since Ford is currently being sued for the issue. I quickly left there.
In between finding another dealership to help fix the problem, my car was completely affected by the transmission clutch shudder issue. It was terrifying driving it while this Accord, and a giant truck almost plowed into me, because the car jerked forward and back with acceleration and also when braking. It was brought to All American Ford in Point Pleasant, NJ where it is currently sitting because Ford does not want to take responsibility for their poor design manufacturing issue by placing a clutch system that burns off. My car is not currently being worked on, because Ford states that only certain cars can receive the extended warranty under the Customer Satisfaction Program 14M01 - Supplement #6.
The customer “satisfaction” program has not satisfied this customer. In trying to reach out to your customer care representatives was even worse than dealing with the dealerships. I spoke to multiple representatives who had a difficult time understanding my English pronunciation and each told me different things: 3/15/19 - Jane told me that when requesting to speak with a supervisor it was pointless, because they will tell me the same thing. She was also unable to tell me exactly why my car was not covered under the warranty hence why I wanted to speak to a supervisor. She did note to request a supervisor to contact me in a business day.
3/18/19 - I did not receive a phone call from a supervisor, so I called back again. I spoke with a John who told me that a supervisor placed a call however he couldn’t tell me when or what number so that I could make sure to answer. No supervisor of course was available. I asked to make a FM360 claim, he said only a supervisor could do that. Requested a supervisor to call me back. In addition, told me that dealerships can talk to Ford corporation in regards to reimbursement of warranty funds. 3/19/19 - A supervisor called me at 7:00 pm, however I was eating dinner with family after a long day at work.
3/20/19 - Spoke to Gail a supervisor who informed me that the warranty is not covered for me because my car was made in October 2013 not in June 2013 (only a couple months later). I expressed my concerns since it's the same exact transmission clutch shudder issue attempted to be fixed the first time, and why are only certain lucky Ford owners experiencing the same issue the only ones privileged to be reimbursed.
In addition, she informed me that previous representatives could have filed a FM360 claim even though they told me a supervisor could. I also asked why the TMZ module is covered, however the clutches aren’t. She could not answer that question. She kept on repeating herself, talking over me in a scripted manner, and did not address my specific questions. I requested to speak to another supervisor other than Gail, and she denied my request. I kept on clarifying her statements and requesting for her to note to speak to another supervisor in case they had other information. In short, she denied my request and hung up on me.
Ford has not rectified their design manufacturing mistake and would like to make their customers pay out of pocket for their error. I have a car that is not even 5 years old in which I have to pay $2000 for. I have paid for new tires, oil changes, and checks. I have made sure my car is updated on my end. My car is not driveable and I have to spend every day speaking to your employees who don’t want to help. In addition, due to research and speaking with Ford dealerships the problem will still continue even if the clutches are replaced.
Ford has a responsibility to their customers and to keep them safe. They have designed and made unsafe vehicles and are unwilling to help out ALL of their customers. I hoping that someone will be in contact with me in regards to my issue. I am requesting that my current Ford dealership be reimbursed for the clutches. I am told that even if they replace the TMZ module, the car will not drive without the clutches being replaced. Someone needs to rectify the issue.

I have had over 5 Ford vehicles in my lifetime and owned 3 within the last 5 years. However, that will change after this ordeal. Summer of 2018 I've purchased a 2018 Mustang GT. Very nice car, good performance, all that I needed, right? Wrong! Around 7K miles, shifting from one gear to another became difficult. So I took it over to dealership where I purchased at for them to honor the warranty. They did but it took nearly two months for them to complete due various reasons. So I contacted the Ford company itself to see if could help me in some way to compensate me for the loss of use as well as a form of guarantee that the vehicle could go on for many miles more and years to come.
At first, the initial Ford rep was very responsive and willing to provide several solutions to my issue. Therefore, he escalated to the regional rep within Maryland. The Maryland rep was the total opposite, she was belligerent, refusing to offer even the least bit of assistance. She went on to make it appear the fault of someone hitting me in the back (Which was a minor accident) for which was not concluded to cause the transmission issue. The issue concerned an inferior part which had to be replaced.
I graduated with a degree in Automotive Technology so I clearly understood that it was a failure in the shift fork which slide the release bearing back and forth on the input shaft, thus engaging of disengaging the clutch and flywheel connected to the pressure plate! It would have to be a severe accident which would have to somehow dislodge the engine and transmission bell housing to disturb that specific internal part!!
Although, I have some unresolved issues with the dealership, they did a good job with the repair as far as I can tell so far. However, when one drops nearly $45k on a car they don't expect it to fail two months later in such a huge way which requires a complete teardown. So with all this said, I'm going back to Chevy and Nissan for now on.

Purchased a Certified Pre-Owned Lincoln with 10,000 miles. Took the car in 3-4 times over 3 years for the SAME issue and they were not able to duplicate. Then, after warranty expires, they identify the issue and the bill is mine because they don't support it any longer. This is negligence and a lack of customer service completely. Ironically, I was just considering doing a trade in to another Lincoln before all this transpired. Back to Honda I go.

The sync has never worked in the Ford. The dealer seems to be no help. I also hit a bird and it caused $3000 in damage to the front. They said they fixed it. USAA would said there was $1k deductible because it was an animal. Other cars would not get totaled by a bird. Now, they say there is a coolant leak. Should have bought a car that was not built so cheap.
