NHTSA Complaint #10561729 — 2013 FORD ESCAPE

THE LEFT LIGHT WENT OUT. WENT TO DEALER TO GET THE LIGHT BULB CHANGED. AFTER AN HOUR, THEY UPDATED ME THAT "SOME" ELECTRICAL FAILURE OCCURRED AND THAT IT COULD TAKE "HOURS" TO FIX. IT FOR SURE IS COVERED UNDER WARRANTY, BUT NOW I AM SKEPTICAL TO DRIVE THIS CAR. AND THIS CAR IS NEW, AND UNDER 3 MONTHS OLD WITH ABOUT 3500 MILES. INCIDENT OCCURRED ON FRIDAY EVENING. TOOK TO DEALER ON SATURDAY MORNING. WAS TOLD THEY WERE OUT OF BULB, AND TO WAIT UNTIL TUESDAY. TOOK TO ANOTHER DEALERSHIP. THEY WERE KIND ENOUGH TO GET THE NEEDED PART (BULB) BY MONDAY. TOOK TO THEM ON MONDAY. THEY PUT IN THE BULB. THEN REALIZED POWER WASN'T REACHING THE BULB POINT. SO HAD ME GET IT BACK IN ON TUESDAY. CHECKED ON TUESDAY, TO FIND OUT IT WAS THE BCM (BODY CONTROL MODULE) THAT WAS OUT. SO HAD TO WAIT ANOTHER WHILE THEY GOT THE PART. FINALLY GOT THE VEHICLE DELIVERED ON WEDNESDAY EVENING. *TR
