Consumer Description

ONE WEEK AFTER CAR PURCHASED PAINT FLAKING OFF AND CAR HAS BLUE SMOKE COMING FROM EXHAUST AT START UP. CAR HAS BEEN PAINTED SINCE THEN 3 TIMES AND TO DATE PAINT IS FLAKING OFF AND YOU SHOULD SEE ALL OF THE BUFFING SCRATCHES FROM THE DEALERSHIP(TOWN & COUNTRY FORD/BESSEMER, AL) TRYING TO CORRECT THEIR MISTAKES. I MIGHT ADD THIS IS A ROUSH MUSTANG. CAR HAS BEEN IN 2 TIMES FOR BLUE SMOKE AND SERVICE DEPARTMENT CAN'T DUPLICATE THE PROBLEM(COMMON STATEMENTS MADE BY FORD'S SERVICE DEPARTMENT). FORD MOTOR COMPANY REFUSES TO EVEN SEND A REPRESENTATIVE OUT TO LOOK AT THE VEHICLE. TO SAY THE LEAST THEY DO NOT STAND BEHIND THEIR PRODUCTS AND WE WILL NEVER PURCHASE ANOTHER ONE. WE ARE IN THE ARBITRATION PROCESS AT THIS TIME WITH THIS VEHICLE. I WOULD NOT RECOMMEND A FORD TO ANYONE. READ ALL ABOUT THEIR PROBLEMS ONLINE BEFORE YOU PURCHASE. I WISH I DID. *JB
