Consumer Description

I HAVE BEEN STRANDED SEVERAL TIMES IN MY FOCUS. HOPING THAT EVERY TIME I GET IN MY CAR THAT TODAY IS NOT THE DAY. THE KEY WON'T TURN IN THE LOCK AND AFTER SO MANY FAILED ATTEMPTS, WORRYING ABOUT THE COST OF REPAIR. THE CAR SAT FOR TWO MONTHS AND KILLED THE BATTERY. UNFORTUNATELY THE CAR HAS BECOME SUCH A HASSLE TO DRIVE. I WAS LATE TO WORK AND GOT A POINT ON MY SUPER STRICT ATTENDANCE POLICY. THIS PROBLEM HAS PUT MY EMPLOYMENT AT RISK. THE CAR HAS ALSO BEEN FIXED PREVIOUSLY FOR THE SAME ISSUE BY THE PAST OWNER, I FOUND OUT. CALLED THE DEALER WHERE IT WAS FIXED AND THEY TOLD ME THAT I WAS OUT OF WARRANTY AND THERE WAS GOING TO BE AN HEFTY COST. WHY WON'T FORD STAND UP, AND SAY THEY PUT UNRELIABLE PARTS INSIDE WHAT IS SUPPOSE TO BE A RELIABLE CAR. *TR
