I would like to see a copy of the estimate. This is no shit, stuff is totaling out more than usual, some due to parts availability and cost, the other thing is the salvage value on certain vehicles is crazy. If it got the frame, you have a bunch of miles, pushed the fender back into the door...

Hopefully it's getting staffed by completely different idiots. I don't see how upgrading the office, with better views, is doing anything but rewarding horrible performance.

Upset was like 5 years ago, it's evolved into disgust which will likely turn into indifference at some point.

He should've been in the test rigs every day starting in 2020 since he was already in the grooming process for his current job. He's done a bunch of vanity/PR stunts lately that quite frankly, piss me off. If my company was up to it earballs like Ford is with recalls, product/build quality...

That looks like the short version but the dealer will need to perform the inspection which will close the recall.

VIN for the win? Definitely misbuilt if new. Surprised? Not in the least.

Not really. The old "standard" of 10.5V-11.0V used to be the range modules would freak out and either throw faults or stop working. If you had a battery with a state of charge below, say 65%, and the ASS was kicking in several times on a drive, it's possible you would have a momentary dip in...

The worst part is NHTSA either was OK with and/or signed off on this "fix". They've been busting Ford's balls for any and everything else but a suspension component, just caulk and send it. IMO, it would've been better to just do an extension of the warranty on the part for XX miles/XX years...

Y'all should love the inspection and repair procedure.

Not going to lie, we ate a bronco sport engine a few months ago (not making noise but leaked enough we weren't going to chance it) because the O-ring on the filter was messed up on the new filter and lube guys didn't catch it. In the OP's situation we would do a fully dressed if one is...

Revolution may show discontinued on our site because we have not sold one (through service or across the counter) and the number drops off the DMS. The GL9926 is Motorcraft, $75.00 core and like @Ducati1098 said, readily available. Nothing in DOW remarks or NPA remarks indicating not...

They'd shit if they saw the daily broadcast messages! I was going to open a topic on message boards begging for a recall holiday. You know, like one day every month they don't have any recall announcements?

Didn't dig into it much since Ford really doesn't provide that information. You would essentially need something like an electronic relay that doesn't use the signal wire for power, just senses voltage or voltage drop and then triggers the load side. Standard and even micro relays require a...

There is a misconception that every perceived vehicle issue while under 3/36 is warrantable. The second and most difficult to explain is NO ESP, including Ford Protect Premium care with every single add-on option, covers everything like base warranty. Because of Ford's shift in policy, dealers...

Did the computer really add it or was the service advisor trying to hit is pay plan numbers? Rhetorical question obviously but I can't imagine any dealer setting up their DMS to automatically bill diag. That almost always has to be done manually with a specific labor operation/code. Doing...

I hate defending Ford but when attending a warranty workshop years ago the instructor made a statement that makes sense. The dealer essentially has the ability to write checks from Ford's checkbook. Like a retail customer, they want to know what they're paying for, not over charged and fixed...

I don't think your ESP covers the coil over shock, only struts. If you decide to replace your shocks, keep the old ones as the recall will stay with the vehicle. If you decide to trade it off at some point and the next owner wants to go back stock, they have the "defective" parts needed for...

If you are out of 3/36, this is going to be considered customer pay since parts aren't available to do the recall. Assuming the reservoir(s) are leaking they would replace the shock with the current service level part and the customer would be responsible for those charges. Once Ford releases...

Just to add, my guess is they knew it was a seal problem long before now but wasn't going to spend the money to do a design change or exhaust whatever excess stock they had, until they were ready to do the running change on new models.
