Better Call Saul!
I filed a BBB Auto Line claim as a Christmas present to myself.
Ford replaced the entire top twice and refused to replace even the rear clamshell after it cracked near the window (for the third time) near the end of the 3/36. BBB verified my claim and I'm waiting for Ford's...
I thought the MIC top was made by Webasto.
I guess they outsourced it to China.
Pretty funny that the manufacturer has to defend it not being made of "cardboard." This article sounds very defensive! Best laugh I've had in a while over this fucking piece of shit hard top that does one thing...
Ford has over 150 recalls this year. The next highest is about 50. Ford having three times as many recalls as any other manufacturer should be making people run from Ford. I am.
Nobody should be paying for that. Warranty or not, that is a design flaw. There ought to be a recall and 100% goodwill for anybody that has the problem. Too many people roll over and accept garbage like that.
You have no idea what you are talking about. I don't take legal advice from non-lawyers. BBB offers all types of ADR, including mediation and arbitration. The auto line is funded by manufacturers but has neutral arbiters and the process to open a claim is easy. If you read your sales...
The cracks start this way. It's happened twice, now three times, to me. These cracks grow and widen. These cracks weren't on the top the day it was installed. Would you install a roof rack and load anything on a top that has any cracks in it? That means the top is not fit for the intended...
I think you are missing the bigger picture. Ford denied a claim for cracks during my warranty, after they twice replaced my top for cracks.
I'll let Ford speak for itself here: "The fact that this concern is visible on multiple vehicles indicates that this is a normal characteristic...
Ford knows the number, and the only way to get it is through discovery.
In the meantime, I've opened a BBB case for myself (with 4 repair attempts involving 2 full top replacements and over 100 days out of service).
It's meaningless to guesstimate how many tops are impacted. The only thing...
Word to the masses:
Ford is trying to deny these cracks because they are "visible on multiple vehicles" and not as bad as the cracks depicted in the GSB. Mind you, these are new cracks that have just started to appear on my third MIC top, which was installed only weeks ago. My 3-yr warranty...
When you see people having to replace their replacement multiple times over the course of years, there's definitely a problem. It wasn't a "bad batch."
Dealer told me they confirmed my current cracks on top 3 (only visible in certain lighting) and compared it two other Broncos, one demo, one...
