skip to NHTSA complaints

I was rear-ended earlier this year and took my car in to the dealership for bumper replacement. Dealership did not inform me that Ford discontinued my bumper model, so they repaired it instead of replacing it — without my permission! Silver plastic strip that runs through center of bumper was re-installed as-is – cracked – since bumper was not being made anymore and new part wasn’t available.Both horns were replaced, in spite of rarely being used.Rubber window strips loosen, pop up easily; one has been replaced.One power window in rear can only go down about 6 inches, squeaking terribly as it moves down (haven’t gotten it fixed because it’s too expensive).Cup holder broke in pieces. Two-cup holder was replaced with a single cup design.Outer gas door release sticks. Both methods of opening the door (floor lever and trunk strap) stopped working this year. Paid for repair at dealership, but both methods stopped working again after a few days. I now have to open up my trunk every time I go to the gas station, pull the release strap and rap lightly on the outer door in order for it to pop open.I am scheduled for a new repair in a few days at the dealership for rough idle and stalling. Problem involves Mass Air Flow Sensor and/or Powertrain Control Module, and is detailed in TSB Article No. 98-20-7. Should have been a recall, but consumers have to pay.Had contacts cleaned on radiator tank (dashboard light for low coolant was going on frequently even when level was fine) and driver’s door panel (beeping signal for when door opens and key is left in ignition stopped working).Had complete tune-up at dealership this summer, with mileage at only 40,000. Tune-up involved filters, wiring, gasket, PCV valve, fuel injection cleaning and other problems, totaling $1,100 in repair costs.Driver’s side speaker wire has loosened, with sound drifting in and out depending on bumps hit on the road. Need to get this fixed, but faced with too many major repairs on this vehicle to get around to that.Driver’s door lock collapsed inside key hole. Lock cylinders are only available in sets of five, so all five of my lock cylinders had to be replaced by dealership. Replacment cylinder on my glove compartment vibrates too much while driving.Reverse lights stopped working. Wiring had to be repaired.Paint is thin and scratches easily, even from non-abrasive contact. Numerous, unexplainable tiny scratches appear on the body metal just above side windows.Driver’s window opens all the way, sliding down at a quick speed, at least 75% of the time, instead of allowing you to open it an inch or less at a time.VERY indifferent treatment by dealership. They treat me as a lunatic who imagines all these problems. They refused to believe that the gas door release could go bad again. I so much want to quit going to them, but more problems keep coming up that only they can fix. I bought this car used 3 years ago, and it still has only 42,000 miles on it. These repairs shouldn’t be coming so frequently. My dealership advertises heavily on local cable TV, and I wish more consumers would know the truth and stop buying Ford vehicles!
