Description of the problem | Purchased this vehicle new 1dec 2018. I brought this vehicle in for smelling coolant after driving. Vehicle has 11134 miles. Dealer told me that i had a leak in the number 3 cylinder and it needed a small block replacement. Dealer left me stranded at dealership and 50 miles from home. They did offer me a rental vehicle which i declined. Vehicle is still on bumper to bumper warranty. Dealer cannot give me time frame for engine replacement. One of the worst car experiences i have ever had. Wish they would take vehicle back and i can purchase something more reliable other than ford. |
