So....I sold my car and went to see what James Ford had to offer in the way of a used car within my budget. I ended up with a Ford Fiesta Titanium, which gets great gas mileage and has all the bells and whistles that I wanted. I was really happy with it..for one day. Suddenly the transmission feels like it is slipping when starting out and then again when the car shifts gears. After researching this issue, it turns out there is a recall on the clutch associated with these transmissions and Ford will replace them and even extended the warranty to 150,000 miles for this problem. Took the car back and was told 'the car has to get used to the way you drive'. Really? They kept my car for two days and tell me it has to get used to the way I drive? Took it to another Ford dealership, they will be fixing the car next week. When I test drove the car, I noticed that the rear view mirror was loose, was told that would be fixed. Still loose, even after they had the car for two days. Oh, and when I picked up the car after those two days, I asked for paperwork to document what had been done. Three times. I did not receive any paperwork, they refused to give me any documentation.
Today I was on my way home and the check engine light came on. I was close to the dealership so I pulled in and had the salesman come and look at it. He had them pull it into the shop while I went in and sat at his desk. After about 15 minutes the car was done, they had hooked it up to their machine and reset the idiot light. What was wrong, you may ask (again, no paperwork). Bad gasoline! I just have to run through this tank of bad gasoline I purchased, fill it up with Premium gas and run through that tank, then I can go back to using regular gas. Who knew.
This all has really happened. This is what I have been told by the fine folks at James Ford of Williamson. I am not an idiot, nor was I born yesterday. Cars do not have to 'get used to the way you drive' and 'bad gasoline' does not activate your check engine light. Please do not purchase any vehicles from this establishment, just keep driving right on by. You will thank yourself later.
It will not let me give 0 stars, therefore I will give one....star. read more
