Consumer Description

WITH ONLY ONE MONTH TO GO BEFORE WE COULD RETURN THIS PIECE OF CRAP LEASE, OUT GOES THE IGNITION SWITCH. NEVER HAVE I HAD A CAR WHERE THE KEY WOULDN'T GO IN, IT WAS LIKE A JOKE! SO NOW WE GET TO STICK IN A BUNCH OF MONEY FOR NOTHING. I CAN'T BELIEVE WITH ALL OF THE PROBLEMS AND ALL OF THE COMPLAINTS THAT FORD HAS DONE NOTHING ABOUT THIS AS FAR AS RECALLS GO. HOW MANY PEOPLE NEED TO BE PUT OUT BEFORE SOMETHING IS DONE? MY HUSBAND NOW HAS TO TAKE A DAY OFF OF WORK IN ORDER TO GET ME TO WORK AND TO GET THE CAR FIXED. HERE I SIT WITHOUT A CAR NOW BECAUSE IT IS THE WEEKEND AND THE DEALERSHIPS ARE NOT OPENED. OH WHAT A JOY IT IS HAVING A FORD VEHICLE!*AK
