Consumer Description

Since 2021 we have had problems with the car. The car started smoking and cutting off for some known reasons. We contacted Vidalia Ford known also as Paul Thigpen where the car was purchased. There have been numerous attempt to get the car fixed by Paul Thigpen and we will get the car out the shop and take it back. The car is jerking, still cutting off, and car smoking. Told us that was normal for that car to smoke. We was told by Paul Thigpen that we needed a motor in the car. All of a sudden after this car Fusion car motor have been broken down numerous time. We are told that Ford Corporation would not send a new motor for the car. We have went to pick up the car on one occasion and started the car up and it was smoking like it was on fire. All the techs ran to the car because they thought the car was on fire. We have called Ford Corporation to speak to someone in their Consumer Affairs office. Asked us to take it to another Ford Dealership in Dublin, GA and they told us we needed a motor and they will get the motor in a few days. These people calls and say the same exact thing Paul Thigpen tech stated that Ford would not send the motor. When we got the car back, it's still jerking and smoking. The techs fails to put in notes that Ford Corporation fails to fix the vehicle. Now the vehicle is sitting in the yard and we are making payments. The oil is leaking from the motor. I reported it to the Better Business Bureau and Ford failed to respond. The Better Business Bureau stated to send it to you all. This car had stayed in the shop months at a time. Yes, we are angry consumers who has paid for an extend warranty on this vehicle when purchased. Darren from Consumer Affairs called and left a message on the voicemail that we can't get mad because Dublin Ford refused to fix our vehicle. We have not enjoyed the vehicle and it's wrong how Ford is doing people. They are trying to let the warranty runs out. Everyone claims to be full when it first happened with oil probl
