Subject: Trouble with this car I purchased: Re: Your next vehicle is here at Grapevine Ford Lincoln
Hello Sean,
I purchased this car on Thursday, December 2012. My wife had an issue with the car today Saturday December 29, 2012 around 12:45 PM.
She was making a left hand turn on Southlake Blvd and her new Ford Focus stalled then she heard a loud popping sound. Luckily, she did
not get ran over. She then limped the car back home.
As per our conversation around 2 PM today I would like this car replaced with another one of the same style since this car is only 2 days old. You stated the you will do whatever it takes when I requested the car to be replaced. I am glad to hear you agree with replacing the vehicle,
I called and texted Daren Lewis around 1:18 pm and he returned my call promptly. Unfortunately, I interrupted him during a funeral.
Once again, I will call you on Monday, December 31st, 2012.
Thanks in advance,
Rxxxx Gxxxx

Hello Jimmy,
My wife has had problems with this car since the day after it was purchased in 2013.
The car has been at Grapevine Ford many times in the past to repair this transmission
unsuccessfully.
Grapevine Ford's main reply was that my wife needs to accelerate faster to prevent the transmission from
bucking and stalling the car. Wrong answer!!!
It was explained to Grapevine in detail as to the seriousness of the danger when the car stalls.
This fell on deaf ears.
My wife has been nearly hit by other cars on numerous occasions when the car shutters and stops without any warning.
This has been happening since the car was purchased. I have emails stating this fact the day after the car was purchased. The problem with the transmission is a big safety issue when the car stalls and shutters with oncoming traffic, especially when turning left.
I contacted Grapevine Ford a few weeks ago and they did no return my call. This is unacceptable.
Today, I contacted your customer service in the Philippines. I then requested to speak to someone in
America with no success. This is also unacceptable.
I then called your corporate phone number and was transferred to a voice mail stating that Ford would
contact the next business. Unacceptable again.
Please remember you did not give me the car and allow me to pay the following day!
With all the above being said I want this made right ASAP. I am tired of this car bucking, jumping, and stalling in dangerous situations. Also, tired of making excuses for Ford as to why this car's transmission make so much
noise.
Looking forward to hearing from you soon, read more
