Our BL was good overall. Biggest pet peeve was the hood vibration, it looked like it was going to separate itself from the vehicle eventually haha. This one is rock solid.
Recalls and quality concerns seem to on the rise across almost all industries. The RV horror stories are incredible too...
I
Nice Maverick! My brother bought one, loves it.
Yes I had a 24 Santa Fe Ultimate Calligraphy. Ultimately it crapped out.
They came up with a solution that included us signing an NDA. Not sure if I'm breaching it by telling you this much.🤣 Glad to be back.
Made the 1600 km round trip to pick up our Bronco 2 (2nd one)
I am amazed at the overall condition. Yes, it's only got 22,600 kms, but if you've ever been in oil patch country in northern Alberta, you'll know the roads are atrocious. There's not a single rock chip, no road rash and interior is...
Long story short. As much as I loved the Mercedes convertible, it isn't exactly practical. Traded it on a nice, low mileage 22 Badlands, 22,000 kms. Wife likes geo caching and berry picking so the Sport works really well for her.
I also got rid of the 2025 Hyundai Santa Fe. That's another...
That means your dealer ate the charges. I did the same several times. It's poor support from the manufacturer imo. One example, Edge backlight (taillight). Not covered under premium care warranty due to water intrusion. Cost of replacing it, 2000.00. Goodwill split? 33% each.
Problem is, that...
Many dealers will not escalate the issue by applying for "goodwill"
If approved, it typically involves a 3 way split between Ford, the customer and the dealer.
Both the dealer and the customer are on the hook for 2000.00 each. Ford actually gets away dirt cheap as the transmission is billed out...
Yes I did, extremely flimsy plastic line. Not surprised it started leaking. I cut it at the outlet and put a rubber stopper in it.
No issues since then.
I did sell it about 6 months ago.
I know in the past, current inventory was a big consideration, turn rate, more supply than demand. I can't see supply chain effecting it much with so few changes. "Quality control " was often a blanket statement that looks good and is rarely questioned. I'm not saying it's not a good thing...
I remember their Devinci mtb bike from years ago. Cool but double the price of brand name competition. Low end components but at least it was built in Canada. ?
Yes I have, as a franchised Ford dealer for over 20 years (retired). It's typically a long, drawn out frustrating process. I advocated on behalf of a few customers over the years. If I felt the criteria was met, I felt it was my duty to assist the customer in any way I could. Is your selling...
I did read it. So far so good but early times. Wife absolutely loves it. She'll be driving it 80% of the time. I have my Mercedes convertible for my daily driver. If the Santa Fe blows up I'll dump it real quick. It's my first one and I won't tolerate a premature major power train failure.
He has some version of a click bait title every week. Some people are definitely hurting no doubt. Raptors and loaded F-350 diesels are 120k here in Canada. (150,000.00 with tax. Only a select few can afford that. Imagine paying 2300.00 a month for 72 months for a vehicle. 31,000.00 in...
Thanks very much! They are still dealing with supply chain issues they tell me. Dealers here are only getting about a dozen for the year. I kinda don't want to see one on every block but that's just me being selfish. ?
Nobody said they were special. It's a forum to discuss owners opinions and choices. Cat lady suv? That just condescending for no reason whatsoever. Unfortunate you have absolutely nothing constructive to add to a conversation.
Thanks, 277 hp. 6 passenger was a big selling point for my wife. Have 8 grandkids. The technology is impressive, dual wireless phone chargers, Heads up display, "follow me " feature on fob moves the vehicle in and out of driveway or parking spot. Auto power liftgate, just stand behind it for...
