Description of the problem | I was driving on a city street on 06/12/13 at approx 35mph and the acceleration/gas pedal lost all power. I pushed on the gas pedal and had no power. My veh was towed to the local ford dealership (where it was purchased) and i was told it was not a common occurrence and they would order the part for the repair. A veh was not available from the dealership and i had to rent a vehicle. I was told to keep the rental for at least two days. I had the rental vehicle for a week and the part was still not available. We were then able to borrow a vehicle. The dealership told my husband that the part was on back order and they did not know when it would be available. My husband started calling other local ford dealerships on 06/25/13 and was able to locate the part for the veh. We received a call on 06/26/13 that our veh was repaired. We were not charged for the repair but we are out of $400 for a rental vehicle. This will be my last ford purchase. |
