w00t!
Thats right.. my dealer pissed me off so bad I just refused to take it to them period. I had 2 sets of BFG's on the car in under 16k Miles!! Worn out insides, got first free alignment and new tires but had to pay some on it. Those wore out from 8k to 16k on the inside and I had taken them to be rotated and everything! Then I had to eat it for an alignment and another set of tires (those crapped out around 24k same issue) Ciener-Woods Ford BLOWS in the service dept.
100k mile warranty if you take it to them to get screwed every 5k for oil changes @ 30$ a pop. Whatever.. i'll change my own oil and fix it.
Oh yeah and the car felt way underpowered after about the first 4k miles and asked about it.. "well it seems normal no CEL" so blah blah, turns out now that its out of warranty I might need a new clutch and definatly need a new FUEL PUMP! 2K SVT BTW, who would have guessed a FUEL PUMP! :\
Screw them, I will fix the Fuel Pump myself. No more FORDs though the only good ones I have ever owned out of 7 are these: 1992 Escort LX (234k miles all stock including clutch) Just replaced timing belts (never went to the dealer period!).. 2 Mustangs (problem cars a 2000 and a 2000 3.8L btw. leaking seals etc.) 1998 ZX2 first year 30k miles bad main bearing :\ 2000 Lightning (Great truck dealer screwed up front bumper on night I bought it and promised to replace it, Had the SC pulley lock up and hose the belt, never got the paint right on the front bumper after 5x repaints and getting grease in my suede seats and scratching the never used Bed up) I threatened to sue them for it and they gave me an '01 Lightning for just the taxes I had to pay on it instead of my poor '00 they hosed up. The '01 is my other great ford it ran flawlessly for 5k then my wife got pregnant and I sold it outright and got the PAIN Model 2000 SVT Contour :\
Rant off :P
BTW lemon law is a yes in NC, used depends did they give you a warranty if its under warranty and etc etc has been in shop x amount of days or cost x amount of dollars then yeah you can cry lemon. Check with a local attorney.
