I found those rims on offer up. They came off a bronco sport. I only had to pay $250 and they were mounted with the same Continentals that come stock on Mavericks, still had good tread.
That is VERY concerning…. and without saying anything about it to me either? Even a mention of “oh, just so you know…” would have been nice. I might take it up with them.
Not legally.
Me too. I think I got one of the last ones off the lot in my area and I'm glad I didn't have to wait. I'm loving the ride and the MPG!
I think it goes by state? I looked it up and they said it’s not “entirely illegal” and I’m sure the dealership has good ways to get out of legal loopholes.
It's a federal mandate. The dealer can be fine up to $27,000 per vehicle if they are caught selling a vehicle with a stop sale order. I hope you have the title, because otherwise you could have some issues down the road. Just last week another person who recently bought one from a dealership had the same issue. When they went to get something done, Ford said they had no idea, and the vehicle was not showing as sold. No warranty support.
You seem to know a lot about it-
backup cam freezes as you backup, runs over a kid or a baby in a stroller with mom.
The difference is the type of order issued by the federal agency. They can issue, do not drive orders to existing owners, but typically that is only for mechanical issues that could put the owner and public in danger. As to why this is just a stop sale, and not a do not drive, as assume they have a safety level threshold for that. Given that the side and review mirrors are still usable, I assume they don't feel that a do not do not drive order to existing owners is required.
Thanks for the reply-
Is the owner of Ford your best friend? Who cares if it costs Ford money, if they did it right in the first place it wouldn't be an issue. They are their own worst enemy.
