Never again will I drive another vehicle that needs to be - dlc
Never again will I drive another vehicle that needs to be Fixed Or Repaired Daily. My first ford expedition I purchased through military sales in Korea in 2008, no problems. My second was a 2015 f150 platinum. This one, while driving on cruise control back to Ft. Sam Houston, TX, the truck would suddenly slam on the brakes as if something was in the road, there wasn’t. Scared the xxxx out of me. There was a recall for this issue, I took it to a ford dealer in San Antonio, and they told me the truck had already been in for that, and they would not fix the problem. I traded the vehicle, as is, for a Chevy. The next problem I purchased was from patriot auto group in Chandler, OK , never buy a used vehicle from them. Either they did know they sold me a flood damaged vehicle, or they didn’t know that they received a flood damaged vehicle, A 2017 f150 limited, which I thought was a good deal. Well, it took eight weeks to try to get the driver’s side running board to work properly. I finally had to call the little red head guy (one of the owners) to get the dealer to install new aftermarket running boards.
This same truck, while driving, ALL the electronic warning lights, headlights, signals and radio would start flashing off and on, the horn stopped working and the truck would shut off while driving, all I could do was to roll to a safe spot to pull over and stop and still does not work. So, I took the truck to bill knight ford and they charged me $4000+ to fix this issue, so I thought. They told me something had leaked and caused the damage. After I received my truck, I drove for about 2 ½ weeks and the same thing happened. No worries right, just take it back and have them correct it right, it was paid for. Well, bill knight ford called me and told me it would cost $11,000 to repair. WHAT?! I paid you $4000 to repair it, nope! After I put up a fuss about the work being guaranteed I was told, “OK, we’ll discount what you have already paid”, what? What have I paid already? Well bill knight was going to discount the four grand I had paid them to fix the problem, again, I was told that they would knock $4000 from the $11000 cost to repair what I had already paid them for and what they supposedly fixed.
I called progressive to file a claim and to make a long story short, progressive insurance told me my truck was not covered because I purchased progressive insurance in Texas so that progressive would not cover the repair in Oklahoma. Progressive also informed me that the windshield had been replaced.
I still have the truck and I AM going to sell it, AS IS, just like I did with the platinum and if anyone gets injured due to the faultiness of the vehicle, it’ll be on ford, I have proof that I tried to fix it and my truck was found on road dead!
