I took my 19 Ranger in yesterday to get fixed. Showed a powertrain malfunction, pre collision assist not available, and Hill Start Assist not available. Long story short is they found the accelerator petal needed to be replaced, part is on order now. I bought the car new 5 months ago.
I took the car yesterday morning and they said they didn’t have anymore loaner cars to give, I needed to reserve on in advance. Not sure how to reserve on since I didn’t know what was wrong with my truck. Mind you this is the dealer I bought the truck from. Call back today and the part is on order and it could take 3-5 to get after yesterday hearing they were trying to overnight the part. I’m not complaining because Covid is messing up all sorts of shipping times. My thing is they told me again today they have no cars to loan and try back again in the morning. It’s really unacceptable as my practically new truck is on for service and they can’t give me a vehicle to drive and I might not get it back till Friday or longer.
I called and talked to the Rental Car place at my dealer and explained my situation. They told me they had some fleet vehicles coming in tomorrow and they they could get me one around 1pm. Not sure why I had to jump through hoops to get me a car and why the service could not have done it but whatever. My thing is if you have a basically Brand new truck coming in for warranty work and it’s going to take a few days to fix it, you should get the person in a loaner and not have to wait till the 3rd day. Sorry had to vent. Luckily I’m on vacation this week so I don’t need a car to go to work but still it’s the principle of it all.
