Reviews and Complaints

We noticed a vibrating sound on our Ford 2014 Explorer and learned it was the Pillar Molding and asked Ford about a recall. They said there is no recall. We read that several complaints about suddenly flying off while driving. My wife was driving on I-5 today 11/8/18 and while passing a Truck the right passenger side pillar molding came loose and flew off hitting the truck front windshield. Thank goodness it did not cause an accident. We need to know how we can get this fixed as we purchased this vehicle in 2017 with 34, 000 Miles on it and purchased an extended bumper to bumper warranty and Ford Dealers say it is not covered. This will cost about $500 for both to be fixed and Ford should take care of customers who have warranries. What can you do for this and when will you have a recall? Hopefully it dies not take people's lives or accidents before Ford decides to fix this problem.

To Whom it May Concern,
This is a letter from one of your first-time customers. In the grand scale I mean very little to your company as far as your bottom line. I am one of the millions that pay you every month and understand that with a corporate company like yourselves I don't really have any pull in the service relationship we have. However, I believe it is therapeutic to encapsulate this experience I have had with you, and also to caution others who may want to purchase a FORD vehicle in the future. I don't believe in getting something for nothing. I do believe in fair and honest treatment and that's where you have failed Ford.

I leased my FORD Eco Sport 2018 in January 2018. Unfortunately, I was in an accident in late February 2018. Nothing huge just a fender bender but as I write this, it is September 13th, 2018 and I still don't have my car back from the shop. You see you sold a vehicle that had no parts ready for it because they are made in India. (I'm not really sure if the location is to blame but that's just what I have been told.) You take no responsibility for that, and believe that while it is unfortunate it is also not something you have any plan of action for or will do anything about. I have called, emailed, Facebooked, tweeted, and hoped for someone to help me and yet still there is nothing you "can" or will do. I have now not had a car for months while still paying my lease agreement. You wouldn't even lend me a rental, so I had to pay for my own. $778.00 and one month later and I have just decided to be car less. I am 30 years old and I have a family. I have a 90-year-old grandfather I take to the doctors and shop for so I've had to rely on friends and neighbours to go everywhere. I must Uber to and from work every day because I must make sure I can pay my ford credit bill this month for a car I haven't seen in a half a year. I have spoken to two dealerships and they tell me stories about all their customers who are waiting on parts for the Eco Sport with no answers or timelines. How discouraging is this? My first new car and all I feel after this whole experience is abandoned and forgotten buy a company who made about 7.6 billion dollars last year off the very people they won't help.

I have called your customer service line; whose sole purpose is to never actually help anyone but rather read the same four lines of script sent down from some corporate manual to ensure that:
A. Ford never has to help anyone.
B. To make sure that the customer is so defeated and frustrated by the end of the call you won't want to call back. On that front Ford I say that you have succeeded. As I have been doing some digging to see who else I could call I have seen thousands of terrible reviews about everything this letter is about and clearly no one cares. There should be a support group for every customer you have let down because honestly it's out right abusive at this point.

My family has always owned FORDS. Generation after generation it is the only car we buy, and after this whole experience I don't see myself being a FORD customer in the future. Even though I feel very defeated by this whole situation I am still hoping that someone will read this and have a little heart to understand that I am only looking for what is fair, for a paying customer and what is right for a customer who has valued FORD their entire life.

Sincerely Yours,
Meghan Rafferty
