Contour Enthusiasts Group Archives Forums Branches New England Stupid Dealers!!!

Well, it happened again!

As most of you know, I dropped the SVT off last Friday for paint. Well, I got the call yesterday that the car would be done for today. So, after work, I went down to the Ford dealer to pick up the car. I was so excited to get home and check it out, I shouldn't have been.

The front bumper is a darker red than the rest of ther car. The stone chips thast have accumulated over the winter were just glazed over and still noticible (no sanding here). The A-pillars have been resprayed the same darker red and the peeled section still visible (no sanding here). The rear fenders are a darker red than the roof and trunk, visible dust embeded in the paint and there are 4 very visible paint drips HANGING OFF OF THE REAR WHEEL WELL and the peeled section has been painted over (again, no sanding here). There are some very thick spots that look as if the paint were put on with a roller (orange peeled). The rear bumper looks fine other than the dust that is again embeded in the paint. Every other body panel feels like sand paper due to the overspray (regardless of the 3 coats of zaino put on the week prior to the trip to the body shop).

Oh and the roof is rusting under the rubber molding along the top of the winshield (a section repainted less than 8 months ago).

I am going back down tomorrow to request that the whole vehicle be repainted, this being the 9TH TIME the car has had to go back in for paint. And if I could have my way, the car would be painted at another facility, a place I know would do a good job! The big problem is if it will be ready for Spring Zing. As a result of the body shop delays, I may not be able to install the waterpump prior to spring zing. It may make the trip with me, just in case.

Oh well enough ranting. Hope all else is well!!

all i can say to that is :

:rolleyes:

those f*cking incompetent f*cknuts have NO GODDAMN idea....do they?

F*ck them Ryan.....If the warranty is valid, then go someplace else.

If you still go there, make it clear to them that you WILL STOP IN EVERY DAY to rate the QUALITY (you may need a dictionary for that word...considering they have no f*cking idea what that is!!) of the work done for that particular day.

What a bunch of nut slapping, paint dripping, non sand papering, ballz scratching, nose picking, fudge packing.....IIIIIIDIOTS!!!!!

You just can't beat Ford Quality Care.

I will give you a Good Luck, but you're dealing with Ford here and not much good ever comes out of dealing with Ford.

hey ryan i wanted to get to see your car soon but it looks like u are going to be busy with the dealer.hey hope this time they do a good job if not we should all go there and get the place shutdown.lol.hey i agree with hugo also damn dealer.

Man, I was so freakin livid!!! I went back down, after I saw the mess that they made, but of course all of the mangers had left by then (I know most of them from past experiance, and which cars they drive, so It's not like they were hiding), I talked to my original sales rep, who is a genuinely great guy, he felt so bad!!

So I came home to vent and contour.org was down still, so I checked the E-mail. Got a virus that crashed the computer. Had to recover, which has taken most of the night. First thing I did was get on the forum and post the story.

What a bad freaking night. I'm SOOOOOO Pi$$ed right now!!!! I don't think I can even sleep thanking about the SVT. The thing is also that the car looks fine from a distance, like to some old lady "looks fine to me, sonny!" but it is the worst paint job I have ever seen!!!

There I go again......... :rolleyes:

oh, btw the exhaust is fine, looks like it was just unclipped on one side, no welds, nothing new.

Finally one part of the car they didn't f---up!!

until tomorrow when you're driving and all of a sudden....***LOUD SCRAPING NOISE***

woops...sorry....i'm not wishing bad luck or anything!

How do people get jobs at these places if they mess up so bad like that!

Ryan

I'm really sorry to hear of your continuing troubles with Millbury Ford. I've seen your car in photos and on the road (once) and it's a beauty. If mine looked half as good....

Best of Luck....Mark
