Hey guys!
I think this will be my last update for the thread. I have returned the car to the dealership with the exact amount outlined by CAMVAP ($1200 less than what I paid for the car due to usage). The transaction went very quick and smooth, I luckily dealt with the nice sales manager. No...
Hi fellow Canadians near GTA,
I have received a buyback from CAMVAP for Ford to take my car back, so I am getting rid of all the stuff I bought for my V6.
I have weathertech (if thats its name) mats from Ford, bought for $130. Will get rid of for $75.
Front license plate clip, from CJ...
Great news everyone, a buyback has been ordered by my government, and Ford will have to pay me almost all of the money back, except ~$1500 for usage (8500 km).
After this entire experience with Ford, I am skeptical on whether I should order a stang again or go with another manufacturer.
I've disconnected the battery twice for a long period of time during the life of my car (10 months) for installing a speaker amp, and it had happened after that.
I do have a dash cam in there, and I have many videos of it happening.
I just had my CAMVAP arbitration meeting a few minutes ago. The arbitrator said the same thing: if he cant see the problem, he cant do anything about it. He offered to get a technical inspection outside of Ford, but I doubt...
This is a great idea! Few thing: It doesn't reach a stall. The arbitration is due next week, I doubt I'd be "lucky" for it to happen before that. If only if I had done this during the times it has happened before.
Only problem is it only happens maybe one day out of a 600 miles/1000 kms.
I've just received Ford's response to the arbitration process:
Ford of Canada has honored the terms of the New Vehicle Limited Warranty. The service documents provided support that the vehicle was inspected and repairs...
Just came across your post. I have absolutely no mods on my car, just a dashcam system (not a mod).
did your rpm change the same way mine did?
And as an update guys, I'm still going through my government's CAMVAP program to get a full refund for my car. I'm still pretty pissed and not...
:amen:Stand right by your side on this! CSM told me the exact same thing as what my dealer told me, after beginning a "2 day investigation" :headbonk: to look into my problem further. I love my car, its beautiful, but the moment a company can't back themselves up with an appropriate warranty...
I would like to frustratingly update you all on what is going on.
I have contacted Ford Customer service, and after 2 business days, received a call back. The call had simply said that if the dealership cannot replicate the issue, there is nothing Ford can do about it.
This car just sits in...
Hi Jlfierros, the problem began within one month of me having the car. My car is almost 6 months old now, and at approximately 6200 kms (3800 miles). It doesnt seem to get worse over the days, but it does get worse during the day it occurs. At first the RPM drops from 700 to 450, and a few...
I feel your pain. I'm going through a similar process with the Ontario Government to file something similar to a lemon law (we dont have that here).
It makes me sick to see the customer service they have, and how we have to go so far to get things done, outside of Ford.
Yes, and I am planning to deal with this through the Canadian Motor Vehicle Arbitration Plan. This is probably my last resort, since Ford does not want to do anything.
Unfortunately there are no lemon laws in Ontario, Canada. They also do not provide loaner vehicles since thats not part of the plan, its only for the extended warranty package. The other downside to leaving it at the dealer is that they were adding 100+ km/day on the car by driving it home...
So far nothing done on the dealers hand, I'm talking to FordServiceCA, and we may attempt to make another appointment at the same dealership and try to escalate the issue.
Again, this car is sitting in my garage because I dont wan't something similar to the left turn incident happening again...
I'm gonna keep it garaged and contact Ford customer service to see if they have any advice for me.
And to tell you the truth, after all my experiences with Ford, it seems like this will be my first and last Ford. Always had a Japanese before this.
