tylus has a good reputation on FTE. tylus has a good reputation on FTE.
yeah

got it finally at 5:40

not clean, looked like somebody had washed it with a dirty rag...interior has crap on the Leather seats again

gas tank was so low that the Message Center said 0 Miles to Empty. Had to put $30 in the tank just to get it to come off the Empty.



Of course, since it was so late, couldn't get a good look at the paint as the sun was 1/2 way down. Got it home and started looking things over in the driveway with the outside light on.
From just a quick looksie, I found the following problems.


- Front Driver/Passenger door lower trim isn't painted 100%. You can see where they failed to spray the upper edges of both

- They ****ing painted the fender flares to the goddamn fenders...WTF?

- The rear Hatch is flat out missing paint in 2 spots, and the dumb ****ers didn't even get all of the embedded **** that I've been complaining about for 2 ****ing months




I really don't get it. 16 days this last time...38 days in total...and my Expy is 75% fixed, but it's all 1/2 assed work

Sorry, but I said you should not have taken the website down until the Expy was done properly. Putting more and more paint on it will not improve things. I think your only route is a buyback. Where are they driving it? Are they using it as a parts chaser for the dealership while they have it?

I would not let them touch the paint on your Mustang under any circumstances.

Good luck--sounds like you'll need it,
George

If it were me I would ask for cash and take to a hot rod shop that knows how to spray paint.

Make them strip and repaint, would be better than anything that came out of the factory.

Although that still sux to have to do on a new truck.

I would hope what you signed about taking down your website stated that your Expy would be repair correctly. If so them the site would be back up.

the website was dependant upon the Mustang purchase

but...it only cost me $10



And the more websites you buy, you get a discount. I can probably get 13-14 websites for $100.
I think 10+ websites that cover the spectrum of site addresses with "HonoluluFord" in the URL somehow would be sufficient.

I'm going to talk to my Lawyer first though. Make sure everything I do from here on out is 100% legal from my side

You could always have another "family" member or "friend" set up the site again.

You have agreed to not run a web page, that is critical of HONOLULU FORD, but I haven't. Neither has many of your fans here at FTE. According to the FTE stats there are "Users Registered: 516,174" . Just think of a half million + websites decrying HONOLULU FORD as a incompetent bunch of screw-ups. While I know that not all of the members would put up the $10 bucks for a site, I would and I think that we could get another 100 or so to do the same. You don't even have to ask we would do it just to teach HONOLULU FORD a lesson. I know that HONOLULU FORD is watching this thread (at least I would be) so to the watcher out there we will come after HONOLULU FORD if they do not get this straightened out NOW! ENOUGH IS ENOUGH!

it doesn't matter...they'll 1/2 ass it again. And then I'll be done.

I also have to be careful because of my Mustang. They are supposed to repair 2 little spots.

Got that specified in the sales contract.




I've been discussing not even letting them touch the Bullitt with my wife. I don't know if I can take another ordeal such as this.

Find a shop to do the work on both and tell the dealer that they have to accept (pay) them to do the work. It has become evident that the dealerships' shop is not able to complete the work at an acceptable standard.
I've got a ten spot setting on the desk dedicated for the cause.

appreciate it. Going to let it ride as it sits right now.

eventually I'll get it resolved.



I would like to say it has been just 1 body shop...but the Expy has been sent out to 2 different shops so far, and gotten the same B.S. results
