Re: Rant about Ford
I made the appointment this morning. My Escape is going back into the shop on Tuesday. The steering is clicking when the wheel gets back to center and makes a rubbing sound at 2 o'clock and 10 o'clock. <br /><br />My family has owned Ford vehicles forever and almost all of them have been good.<br /><br />My dad now has a 2002 Taurus which has had a couple of problems with the power window which took a long time and a lot of money for the same dealership to fix and now I'm having this problem with my Escape. <br /><br />Other than that, we've really had no problems. I wonder if Ford is getting sloppy recently?<br /><br />Before I bought my Escape, I had a Volkswagen Golf. It had it's share of problems too. Under warranty, the master cylinder, fog light, and transmission were replaced. I got stuck with the bill for a bad computer module which prevented the car from starting.<br /><br />My wife has a 2000 Mitsubishi Galant with almost 80,000 miles on it and the only problem it ever had was a bad temperature gauge and bad radio that got replaced under warranty. Other than that, it's been a fantastic little car with absolutely no trouble.<br /><br />I also have a 1995 Chevy pickup. I don't drive it much and I've only owned it 6 months or so, but with 230,000 miles on it, I'm impressed.<br /><br />Overall, I think Ford makes a good product. I think the dealership I'm working with has gone downhill and next time, if I'm buying a Ford, It'll be somewhere else. For right now though, I feel like I need to get the dealership that started to fix the problem, to finish fixing the problem.
