Brand new car bought August 2010. Paid cash for it. Should have stayed away, its a one of the very first produced 2011 GTs.
My car has been in the dealership since June 10th for transmission whine gears 1-4 and cylinder 8
Check Engine Light came @ 13500 miles
Pulled plug 8, it was fouled
Did compression test cylinder 8 lower than all others
Dealership is telling me that they need to repair the transmission first before they start working on the engine
Transmission been on back order since I dropped off the car on June 10th
Car has been sitting for more than 7 weeks due to back ordered trans. Ridiculous reason in my opinion.
Had several issues with this car
886 miles: pressure plate bolts backed out causing dowel pins to shear. Car out of service for more than 1 month
9756 miles: slave cylinder blew on highway causing me to be stranded for 3 hours on the highway. Car was out of service for 2 weeks
11960 miles: air bag light came on due to bad connector, took up 3 hours of my time at the dealership.
Other issues with car repaired at my own expense:
Hood Corrosion
Cold Shift Grinding, Notchy Shifting
and now two more major issues.
Tried contacting assigned regional customer service rep, he won't pick up the phone or respond to my messages.
Anyone have connections? I'm fed up with Ford. I just want them to buy the car back and stop wasting my time. Drives great when it works, but not worth the trouble to keep fixing it all the time.
Owned this car for 3 years, been out of service for about 3 months.
