Consumer Description

THIS HAS GOT TO BE THE WORST CAR WE EVER OWNED. RECENTLY THE A/C COMPRESSOR MADE A GRINDING NOISE. THE DEALER SAID IT WOULD BE $1200 TO FIX. THEY THEN SAID IT WOULD ONLY BE $950 BECAUSE SOME PARTS WERE NOT NEEDED. WE LATER FOUND OUT A/C ISN'T FIXED AND THE DEALER IS DEMANDING AN ADDITIONAL $1200 TO FIX BECAUSE THEY SAID WE REFUSED TO FIX THE A/C THE FIRST TIME AROUND. I WOULD REALLY LIKE TO KNOW WHAT WE PAID FOR THE FIRST TIME. WE WILL NEVER BUY ANOTHER FORD AGAIN!!!*JB
