UPDATE. Ford has offered me a $4,000 credit on the $14,500 engine. So now they only want me to pay $10,000 + to put a new engine in the POS.

 

Does that come with what Lee Ermey refers to as a "reacharound"?

There are MANY Ford forums where you could post your tale of woe. Hint hint!

 

At least they are willing to make an offer and bargin. Keep at em. Their dealer had alot to do with this. Good luck

 

If there is a more appropriate site to bring this up can someone please email or PM it? Email is jakescott05@yahoo.com

 

There are plenty of Ford truck and diesel sites. Google is your friend. Use it, enjoy the content, and you can make sure LOTS of people know they are trying to hose you.

This is a fine place to discuss technology, but the management are rather civil and very strict about posting guidelines. Different sites allow different LEVELS of personal expression, so I abide by those.

I'd be roasting the (insert expletives) who grossly failed to repair my vehicle (throwing a fleet of radiators in its general direction doesn't count) and ensure that many potential customers were able to make an informed consuming decision based on me getting ripped off. The vivid details of my prolonged customer non-service would scare anyone far, far away.

I'd be naming the dealer and asking if anyone else got dealt with in the same manner.
"Facts" and "opinion" each specifically expressed as such are fine. One can have a foul, bitter, loathing and bitter OPINION of (insert corporate entity) and express that with perfect legality.

"What do ya all think of THIS adventure in "troubleshooting" etc. Tell the world.

By the way and not related to this thread, never use an internet nick which contains your real name. You can Google the many reasons not to do that.

Because you have already gotten roasted by the dealer, anything they do after this can't be genuine by way of apology. The best they can do is cut a deal to shut you up.

 

thanks. monckywrench.

 

Go post up on Fords facebook im sure they got one tell the story everybody can see then. just what id do

 

Just for the nay sayers...I also have a Job 1 truck. I'm totally happy with it. BTW, there are lots of us happy with them. The few problems I've had, my dealer and Ford have been awesome in making amends. Regardless, I am sorry to hear of your problems. Don't think that your issues are a Job 1 problem or even Ford. ALL vehicles can and do have a propensity to have issues given their complexities and all the EPA junk. Unfortunately, you got one of those that causes lots of frustration and second thoughts.

You have my best wishes for a quick and fair resolve to your issues.

 

And most of those you hear about are job 1's.

 

I'd get a used engine. You'll probably spend $10k on a new engind and get a one year warranty. If you can let the truck sit you might be able to get an attorney to fight for you but you'll spend several thousand bucks on an attorney.
