problem #2

Focus

  • Automatic transmission

My car was surging, and the check engine light was going on and off. We looked under the hood, and one of the distributor caps was fried. It had also fried the spark plug. We had to buy a whole new distributor and spark plugs and was a pain in the ass to replace!

problem #1

Focus V4

  • Manual transmission
  • 58,000 miles

Ok this is mainly only a "Pain In The ASS" in the summer, but it has snuck up on us rarely in the off season. It apparently has a bad MASS AIR FLOW SENSOR. Ok so I take it into the "Clint Newel Guys", warranty guys, & they charge me $100.00 to look at it because they COULD NOT DUP_DUP_DUPLICATE THE PROBLEM!! WHAT???? on earth is that? They are supposed to be my team, my saviors, my warranty freakin guys!!!!!!!
So here now I've paid their stupid deductible and of course, there is not a bit of justice for me. I am so pissed at them and their stupid NO GOOD WARRANTY, that I paid DEARLY for!

No help? I know what it is now, but they will neither, fix the problem that I had to have diagnosed outside of them, OR give me ANY PART OF MY $$$$$ BACK!! They are the one's that have my sole interest in their GREEDY, NO GOOD, Coniving, FAT FAT FAT HANDS . I can't even get a last place on the finish line here folks! They SUCK!!!!!!!!!!!
But I will say one GGGOOOODDD thing about the DISABILITY Ins. I also PAID DEARLY FOR, they [diff comp] paid for my car payments, and recomp'd me for the payments I had made! WOW, I mean WOW! They were so nice!
Thanks and OH HEY, Keep in there-- it only gets worse... OR BETTER!! LOLOL.
