Description of the problem | Purchased vehicle with 35,000 prior miles, a ford lease vehicle . The vehicle had problems with the front headlights. Ford mechanics warned us that vehicle had been wrecked after we purchased it. Salesman told us less than $500. 00 when we inquired. A title search by us revealed $5,000. 00 damage done while under contract as a ford lease vehicle. This damage was not disclosed to was when we purchased for $16,500. 00 we are still experiencing major problems with this vehicle. Contacted with ford executive offices about current engine problems with this vehicle was very disappointing. They were very rude and refused to help, stating that vehicle is 3,000 miles past extended warranty. *ak |
