heres a good one ,,,my loving woman is leaving for work this morning it was 15 degrees and a good 45 min.s before daylight....about two min.s after she left ,she shoots me a text saying ' your going to be pissed at me,a coon ran out in front of me when I went down the drive way and I hit'..i looked out the window and sure enough theres a carcass laying in the drive....I thought well I will pick it up before I take off..i walked down the drive and low and behold there lays a ground hog..now what in the world is a ground hog doing out on the 28 th of nov. in 15 degree weather ,45 mins before daylight.....HB,ford is a dirty word around here now..my daughter bought a ford edge about 8 months ago...it was less than 2 year old...a week ago the transfer case exploded and that caused the transmission to go out..now she is looking at a 4600 dollar repair bill..by the time the dealership filed the paper work with ford the warranty was expired by 3 days...now ford aint going to stand behind it or pay a dime on it..she gave $18,550 for it now its junk..3 more years to pay on that P.O.S....i'll be lucky if I don't get thrown in jail by the time I get done with ford and the dealership...

Maybe the groundhog was looking for it's shadow or Punxsy Phil was heading south for the winter because be he couldn't take it in PA anymore. Now u won't be mad at your wife, she got u some trapping bait.
HB, Ford is a dirty word here, too. We had one in the 70's, learned a lifelong lesson.
Seeing does, no bucks. I suppose the does will all be in good hiding spots by Saturday.

went to the ford dealer today..it wasn't pleasant to say the least..found out that they called ford on Monday morning told ford the problem .gave them my daughters name and the make and model and vin. number..ford calls them back and tells to send all the info to them on Friday...well the imfo sits there all weekend till the following Monday. .sometime Monday someone looks at it and say's well the warranty expired Thursday....it don't take a rocket scientist to figure out why they didn't want the imfo till Friday...I told the car salesmen..i wasn't buying that line of bull$hit..and if he thought I believed him ,that would make me as stupid as he was.....no response from the little s.o.b..

Its sad to say but your just a little fish in a great big ocean,thing for her to do is paint a big lemon decal on it & take a picture of it w/ the dealership name & send it to Ford motor company & tell 'em you pd out of your own pocket to fix it & heres some free advertising,I'll bet you'll get some eye browse raised.

Rex,. Look in the back of the owner's manual to see if there's a # to call for arbitration​. Three times we had problems with vehicles being out of warranty and had trouble right afterwards.
First time, Chuck's Ford blew up with just over 15,000 miles. Warranty was 12,000/12. Dealer wouldn't do anything, so his uncle rebuilt it, but we got in touch with Ford and they reimbursed us.
Second time, I had a Chevy Silverado, heater fan and something else went out of it. Warranty was over on months, but under on mileage. The dealer was no help at all so we were going to take it to a local mechanic that had worked at a dealership before going into business for himself. He told us to call Chevy arbitration. Pd about a 1/4 of what the original quote was.
Third time was Chuck's Jeep. Again time warranty was up, but under on mileage. Something was going out of the front end. Dealer actually was decent enough to call the company and work out something. We PD about a third of what the original quote was.
