Contour Enthusiasts Group Archives Forums Branches E. Great Lakes SVT has been in shop for 5 weeks

This is basically torture, 5 weeks ago I hopped into my SVT which I bought new in September. I pulled out of the parking space, put the car in first and the car went nowhere. 2nd, 3rd, 4th and then back to 1st gear, the engive revved up but the car wouldn't budge. It's been at the dealership for 5 weeks and they're saying that Ford will not warranty it. Apparently, there's a problem with the transfer kit (they're accusing me of being stuck in the snow in which I wasn't). Make a long story short, my lawyer is getting everything in place for a lawsuit so who knows how long I'll be stuck driving this rental Neon instead of my beautiful black SVT. This post is of relevance to nothing except frustration. Thought I'd share my pain, heh heh. peace

They're lying to ya! The shop guys are probably taking it out during the day for fun. Helps explain the rude guy in COBO parking lot (see other thread).

Hey long time no hear IM2ND2NONE, I've seen a survey in this forum on SVT products with bad transmissions and engines. If you can't find the survey try the website www.blueovalnews.com Sorry to hear about your car! By the way email me and let me know which dealership you went to so I can avoid it! US Mondeo@aol.com

LOL, that would have been nuts, somebody raggin on my SVT at the auto show. Thats what nightmares are made out of. Whats up Roger? I'm just trying to deal without my ride right now. It's a difficult position to be in. And its not until you have to drive around every day in a Neon that you realize how amazing the SVT really is.

My problem is that if you buy a Lexus, Caddy or BMW, you're not gonna have to deal with this horrible service. They're going to take care of you. Ford could care less, look at the whole Firestone/Explorer situation. All they care about is selling cars. Customers definitely come second. Im just trying not to get screwed over here. Im sure that 2% of you actually care about me or my car tho so I'm gonna stop jibbering over here. I'll email u Roger, thanks for the reply.
