I called Ford Canada Corporate office today. Complaint has been filed and was told to continue working with the dealer and keep Ford apprized of the progress. Fingers crossed that this doesn't turn into a large repair bill that Ford won't cover.
It is up here in Canada Frenchy. Cambridge Ford, Service manager is Scott. Can't remember his last name. This is a dealer I bought my last 3 vehicles from.
2020 Ranger
2015 Fusion
2013 F150
His words " Yours does not have the clicking noise so that service bulletin does not apply". There was no convincing him otherwise.
Maybe one of you guys can teach me how and where to put a formal complaint into Ford about this issue since it all started while I was still under warranty.
I wish it was documented somewhere so that we could present it to the know-it-all service managers so that they could actually fix my truck. My fear is now that I am out of warranty it is going to turn into a money pit due to bad diagnosing by the techs and service managers who won't look at the...
More info on my earlier posted issue:
So I pick up my truck after $153 diagnostic check to tell me the right side actuator is not working.
Tech left it on full heat so for giggles I put it to full cold and guess what... I now have cold air on the drivers side. Called the dealer and they are...
Just FYI - These links are only good for US owners. NOT Canada. Canadian owners will need to go to a Canadian dealer to get it. If anyone has done this in Canada, can you share your experience? Value for money?
I may have to do something like this too. Truck is too hot to drive in hot weather.
I'll be watching to see if there is a work around until we can get the back ordered parts.
UPDATE: Went to Ford today, had to pay $155 for a diagnostic check up and was told the right side actuator is not working (Last repair was the left one). As I am now out of warranty, the part I need (which is on back order, delivery unknown) will cost me another $160 plus installation. Will this...
If anyone in Ontario has had experience with a repair done under warranty and the same issue after warranty, any advice is appreciated. So far, Ford dealer is on the fence if they will cover the cost. Needless to say I am not a happy Ford customer right now.
Mine is going in next Tuesday for this issue - for the 2nd time. Tidewaters Ford in Pawleys Island, SC did the first repair a month ago. Just changed the actuator. Now I have the same issue so I'm taking it back to the dealer where I bought the truck. SC repair was at the tail end of my...
I'm going to see what the dealer says first. Going to drop the truck off next Tuesday. If it goes sideways I will open the formal complaint. This dealer has been very good in the past so fingers crossed.
BTW - Installed a set of BFG K02's yesterday. Now it looks like a real truck!
I had a gate on the heater box replaced while on vacation in SC. One month later it is broken again. Add to that my bumper to bumper warranty is now over by 3000 kms. I’m sure this is going to be a fight with Ford. Any advice?
Additional to my last post, I'm still towing with now over 20,000 kms pulling this trailer. My two issues were the spring bars (400-600 lb) were under rated for the the tongue weight and it was causing the back end of the truck to bounce a bit over bumps. Other issue was due to the lighter bars...
I have a Tekonsha unit and it works great. They are not as expensive as the Ford unit. Over 10,000 kms towing and no issues at all. Either soft braking or hard braking I don't feel any trailer push.
Here is my set up. Fully stock XLT Sport 4X4 and the 300 lb box topper. I have pulled this trailer over 10,000 kms in 2021 and zero issues. Trailer with all my stuff in it is 6000 lbs. My 2020 Ranger is at 56,000 kms and zero truck issues as well. Make sure you have a correctly set up WDH, that...
