So it's been happining from the start. It's a Brandnewi car, so unless he took from dealership straight to tuner don't think it is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They rebuilt the engine - FPV paid for parts. This involved some negotiation however which is understandable given it had been tuned.Your car is stock so there should be no problem. If you get stuck PM me and I'll see if I can help. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What an obscene way to be treated. Mate when you get a lemon with thses things you get a lemon. Hopefully they will fix it and get it right. I can see a vision of Ford management wondering why their repeat sales for private Falcons are going down the toilet. It would be a great thing if they could get the Ford dealer network sorted out, but I wouldn't hold my breath on that one. You're getting crap service from crap dealerships for a crap car from a company that is going to crap. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest XR09 Guests Posted 20/04/12 03:13 AM Share Posted 20/04/12 03:13 AM (edited) I had the worst time woth Ford warranty/service.I literally threw the drivers mirror scalp at the service managers head when it fell off. I rarely get mad let alone go off, but when I do I lose it. I want blood.The car is good and can be made great reasonably cheaply. I drive other aussie cars besides mine. And altho std, they are even more agricultural and unrefined.But I would not buy a new Ford ever again. 2nd hand, no worries. But the depreciation, lack of service and poor build quality leave me looking elsewhere Edited 20/04/12 03:14 AM by XR09 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

timetaker Donating Members 217 Member For: 13y 9m 16d Gender: Male Posted 20/04/12 07:34 AM Share Posted 20/04/12 07:34 AM I'm upset because my driver's seat squeeks like an old lounge chair!Apart from the faulty wiper motor( which was replaced) I've virtually had no problems with my F6in the nearly 9 months(7,200klms) of ownership.I 've heard horror stories from people that have owned Audis BMWs,VWs and recently a M Class AMG Mercedes wason the Channel 7(Vic) Today Tonight program.The story revealed how the owner had experienced problems and now the dealership refuses to replace the 6.2L AMG motor!The owner had parked it in front of the dealership advertising his plight.Your car is under warranty don't let the dealership dupe you into believing their fanciful explanations.Any new car can have problems,but it's how one is treated at the dealership that will either leave a bitter or sweet taste in one's mouth. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
