Description of the problem | I have had multiple problems w/ my 96 ford contour since i bought it 2/23/96. I have had it in for service multiple times, and i get told it's covered under warranty why worry about it. The srv. Mngr. At my dealer supposedly talked to a "tony" at ford & told him to tell me as long as it's covered under warranty i shouldn't complain it is no money out of my pocket. That is unsatisfactory -i believe my car to be a defect in that years line of contours & i would like something done about these problems. My car runs worse than any used car i have ever owned! All i ever wanted done was to rectify the situation,they could have easily replaced my car with one similiar to that year & model & i would have been happy. I really would like a response to this matter. I am to the point where i will contact a lawyer to seek help dealing with ford & kennedy ford , if i can not get a fair & aggreeable outcome to this situation. Thank you. |
