Rust Spots

I am tired of these dealers not handling business the right way. We buy our 30 - 50,000 dollar trucks and you would think they would be a little more helpful instead of trying to lose customers like 2 ford dealers i went to already has. I found a good one though but its about 150 miles away, its well worth the drive for there service. I cant wait for the day when they start using composite materials that are strong and wont bend or rust. Cant wait.

Rust Spots

Hi Again:

Well I had my truck acid washed at the dealer last Thurs, was to have the Dura shine put on this week and the truck looked great.

Guess what their back now I get to fight for a paint job, In only a week about 1/3 of the truck has them, I talked to the lady that did the wash and she stated that I was going to have trouble with them coming back and to start fighting for a paint job as most of the spots were deep pits and thru the clear coat & surface paint

.""" Service manager was shocked that this had happened and will do some research on what to do next""" I wonder what color the sky is in his world? The color of my sky has new paint job written all over it.

I am calling Customer Service today about this and will let you know what's going on.

2002 F150 rust problems.

I just bought a 2002 F-150 SuperCab FX4. It is white in color, has a Canada truck sticker where the spec sticker on the door post is, and has a serial # that starts with 2. I noticed today it had a little rust bubble on the front lip of the hood, so I started inspecting it a little closer. There is also rust forming on all of the door hinges, down the stake pockets of the bed, the tailgate hinges and along the seam under the lip at the front edge of the hood. I just got it Saturday and am thinking of returning it to them Monday. The truck only has 30k miles on it and the price is great, but I plan to keep it for at least 4 years and dont want a truck that is rusted through before I can get rid of it. What should I do. Eric

I spoke with the guy who sold it to me tonight, a buddy of mine, and he said to bring it in tommorow and they would take a look at it and see what they would want to do after that. Its a shame, it is such a pretty truck. Luckily its a certified pre owned so I get the 5 year 75k warranty, and it has 31k and some change. I will keep you posted.
