Consumer Description
I WAS TURNING A CORNER AND SOMETHING POPPED AND THE CAR WOULD NOT STEER. THE ONLY THING THAT STOPPED THE CAR WAS THE CURVE, AS I WAS MAKING THE TURN, AND THAT CAUSED A LOT OF DAMAGE. SUTTON FORD LINCOLN IN MATTESON, IL SAID THEY WOULD NOT REPAIR THE DAMAGES CAUSED BY THE LEMON-FORD-FLEX THAT WAS SOLD TO ME BECAUSE THE VEHICLE WAS 300 MILES OUT OF THE WARRANTY. SUTTON FORD LINCOLN IN MATTESON, IL THAN SAID IT WOULD HAVE TO BE REPORTED TO INSURANCE. SO I REPORTED IT TO INSURANCE AND THE REPAIR SHOP, THAT WAS REPAIRING THE DAMAGES, SAID THEY FOUND DAMAGE TO THE RADIATOR (1,500 DOLLARS WORTH OF DAMAGES) WHICH COULD NOT HAVE BEEN CAUSED BY THE CAR HITTING THE CURVE. AND THAT IT LOOKED LIKE SUTTON FORD LINCOLN IN MATTESON, IL RAISED THE CAR INAPPROPRIATELY AND CAUSED THE RADIATOR DAMAGE. THE REPAIR COMPANY SAID, SINCE THE ORIGINAL PLACE WHERE THE FLEX WAS TOWED TO (SUTTON FORD LINCOLN IN MATTESON, IL) WAS LOCATED RIGHT BEHIND THEM (ACROSS THE ALLEY), SUTTON FORD LINCOLN IN MATTESON, IL CAUSED THE DAMAGE. AND OF COURSE, SUTTON FORD LINCOLN IN MATTESON, IL DENIED IT AND WOULD NOT PAY FOR THE DAMAGES. BUYER BEWARE - DO NOT DO BUSINESS WITH SUTTON FORD LINCOLN IN MATTESON, IL. BUYER BEWARE - DO NOT BUY A FORD AND IF YOU DO, DO NOT GO TO SUTTON FORD LINCOLN IN MATTESON, IL. *TR
