Have had this car in the shop so many times it is not funny. Never buy a Ford! They always find a way to make you pay for whatever is wrong with your car. Although we purchased the extended warranty that is supposed to give you a rental car when your car is in the shop; for some reason they say we are not eligible. Not only did our car break down they did not even offer us a ride home! We have bought at least 7 cars and trucks from this dealership. The car would not start and all of the electrical items were going off and on in the car. The radio kept going off and on even though we kept turning it off the cd player was trying to run at the same time the radio was going. It constantly switched from am to fm. The a/c kept going off and on even though we shut it off. The battery could not hold a charge and the car made no effort to turn over. AAA came and gave us a jump we could not even make it home. We were close to the ford dealership and barely made it up the hill to get there. They told us that we might not be covered under the extended warranty. When we asked about the rental car provided by our warranty they said they would have to see if what was wrong with the car was covered by the warranty. But that will not be until tomorrow. We were stranded at Ford with no ride home and a car that will not run yet again. Never buy from Ford ;they still have not fixed the recall items on our other vehicle.
