Had a similar issue in 2019 with a dealer out here. I suspect it was my salesman just being inept. Have you tried talking to the upper managment? Make some noise to the higher ups I had my SUV delivered with dealer plates, had them two weeks before he showed with temp tags. Already had hard...
I've owned 1 Plymouth(hand me down), 3 Fords, 1 Honda, 1 Subaru, 1 GMC. The Plymouth was a 73, needed a new short block in 74. Issue with steering column in my 80 Thunderbird. 88 Honda had 1 recall but a bad fuel pump at 6mos. 03 Subaru needed a new short block/lower bearrings at 47000. 99 F150...
The original date given to me by my salesman was production week of 8\29, he didn't have a vin for me. Called Ford was given a Vin and a build of Sept. 5th. Just got the email today with the Vin and production week of 8/29. Seems everything right now is tracking. Hopefully anyway. If she was...
Call Ford customer service. I called my dealer was told build date of Aug.29th no vin yet but he'll email it when he gets it. I waited 3 or 4 days then called FoMoCo. I was given a production week of Sept. 5th and a vin number with an estimated delivery of sep.25- Oct.1. The kind lady then said...
I use an aftermarket seat cover for the back and door covers I got somewhere like bj's or costco. I tried the hammock style none of my dogs have liked getting in the vehicle with it attached to the front headrests. I also don't allow my dogs to stand on the doors anymore.
Most of my vehicles have been standards starting with my first Maverick a 1974 grabber and my last stick my 1999 F150.
But somone please tell me how am I supposed to shift into 8th gear while drinking my double chai latte no fo lomo whatcha macall it while texting my side chick that the ol...
Steel wheels only way to go. Chunck into a pot hole with alluminum and there goes the rim. Steel just hammer it back and inflate. I'd go with chrome moon caps but no tabs to lock them on.
gte105u,
I agree that they will most likely lose that in court but what part of it will stick. Maybe they don't allow the next owner to purchase high preformance programming or the heated seats the previous owners didn't have. Mfg are already doing subscription only options.
I think the...
All the above.
I remember those days too when they got rid of the gauges and went with trouble lights only. Some of them came back but not all. I miss having a voltage gauge.
Iceman09,
I think the embargo has been lifted. It was supposed to have expired in June but I think it went into July. So there's that back log of shipments. I also just saw something about the christmas inventories arriving at the ports and they're backed up on the docks due to lack of rail...
I'm thinking about buying a tore up f250 and a trailer and going into business hauling these laid up Mavericks in MA to the dealers in CT, MA and NH. Then quit when I get mine! Lol
You are right about Mfgs not being able to dictate where you get your oil changed but that aspect does not apply here. The mfgs can and do dictate oil viscosity, spark plug specks, tranny oil weight, coolant, airconditioner refrigerant etc. Along with mileage and time frame for services to be...
There are multiple reasons for the delays in shipping no fault of Ford. I just heard CSX has just put 200 more employees on the payroll in July to get things moving.
The trains are backed up for fires, floods, logistics issues etc. They tried to streamline the logistics which worked but the...
My guess as to the Maverick badging is because this version is the same concept as the original Mav. The original Mav was 1,900.00 advertised as an afordable family car that is easy to fix and anyone can afford. Other than the easy to fix part the rest sounds awful similar.
I would have liked...
Actually any manufacturer can do that by simply adjusting the limited warranty. It is called a "limited" warranty for a reason.
Heres a link from a lemon law attorney discussing Chevy talking about doing it to the corvettes.
I do like the color but to much like the public works trucks in my old city. Just need to paint the roof and pillars black and people will bug you daily to fix their pot holes!
