UPDATE, dealer just called and said that they replaced the axle and the issue isnāt fixed. Heās looking at it right now.
Also, tried to get my $200 diagnostic fee back from the other ford dealer, they told me tough shit. Also had to pay $150 from enterprise because ford denied it.
I called ford...
Iām sure it sounds like a leaf blower even more. Ever heard of an exhaust on a Prius? Me neither.
considering it has the same 2.5 Atkinson cycle from a Prius, Iām sure it sounds identical. Lol
to each their own I guess lol š
Service agent called me and told me they ordered parts and they are back ordered. Few weeks out, not a big deal. He said he doesnāt understand why they would classify as physical damage. But I found my new dealer. Other dealer was sketchy.
Alright folks, i climbed under the vehicle myself and realized Both Cv axles are leaking at the inside boot. Not a mention of that. Iāll attach pics below. I will also attach a pic of the only scratch I saw of the āAā arm or control arm. Where it is scratched, there is no way anything was flung...
They say that they pinpointed it. I was referring to other people in the chat assuming it was something else.
Iāll keep everyone updated on the matter
They didnāt show me. They had the vehicle for 3 days before I came and picked it up. There were no pics saved. Itās definitely a cv axle. any misfire would cause a CEL. And it disappears as soon as I let off the throttle
So i climbed under the vehicle and there is no such mark on neither the A arm or the axle (cv shaft). I have an appointment at another dealer on Tuesday.
Alright, another update, now they are not covering it. The claim was denied. Iāll have to change it myself because the service is a 2 hour job. That breaks down to be $500/ hour. No thanks lol
turns out, after quoting me $1500 plus a diagnostic fee of $200 and charging me for the rental because it wasnāt under warranty, I asked her what the point was of having an extended warranty if they canāt even cover my stuff thatās under the current warranty.
She then told me that she didnāt...
Iām going to have to investigate and see if thatās actually the problem. The service advisor said there was 5 people working on it for the past 3 days. Since it was struck. I now have to pay for the loaner and diag fee. Iām not happy about it.
I just got a call from the dealer just a few minutes ago and they said the driver side control arm was struck and so was the axle, they say that it is not in round and will need to be replace. They quoted me $1500 to replace it.
plug in would be great. people don't understand that you don't have to plug it in but having the ability to drive in full electric over the speed of 40mph would be great. Things have come a long way. I have a lexus CT200h(prius) and if you gave it any acceleration, it pretty much ran in full gas...
I am currently sitting at the dealer. I brought the truck in for the recall, an oil change, and the shaking. I was told that no one is available to look at the shake until at least monday. I am unable to leave the vehicle for that long ever because it is my only vehicle and I am self employed. I...
I wouldnāt buy, I need the practicality of the hybrid without plugging in. Hybrids are so underrated. Everyoneās pushing for full EV, yet I believe we are skipping the most crucial step.
The way I see it, itās under warranty. Itāll work out in the end. The savings on gas is so great, it was worth getting the hybrid. I still havenāt taken it in. But I need an oil change, a recall, and then have the shake addressed
