Had a recall and was told it would take 1 hour. Got to appointment and was told it would take 5 1/2 hours and I would have to leave my car. I said I couldn't do that because I didn't have another Got to appointment and was told it would take 5 1/2 hours and I would have to leave my car. I said I couldn't do that because I didn't have another car and lived 30 miles away. I asked for a loaner car and was told they didn't do that. I then asked them to rent me a car and eas told the rental place was backed up til Friday. I did make a future appointment, but then because of my frustration, asked to speak to the service manager. The service manager said they had a mobile van that coukd come to.my home and do the software update. I said why wasn't I told that. He said thr mobile van is new and they hadn't instructed the call center or the service techs on the correct verbage. The mobile van came to my house and the tech said it would take 20 minutes! I said I was told it eoukd take 5 1/2 hours. He said no way. He was at my house maybe 30 minutes. I feel I should be compensated for a wasted afternoon, 60 mile round trip and got nothing done, but frustration! More

I had an appt 6/30 for a recall. I was told it would take 1 hour. When I got to my appt the tech said it would take 5 1/2 hours and I would need to leave my car. I said I couldn't do I was told it would take 1 hour. When I got to my appt the tech said it would take 5 1/2 hours and I would need to leave my car. I said I couldn't do that because I had no other car and lived 30 miles away. I asked for a loaner and was told you didn't loan out cars. I then asked him to get me a rental and he said they were backed up and couldn't get one until Fri. I asked to speak to the service manager because I was so frustrated. The service manager said Ford had a mobile van that could come to my house and do the software update for the recall. He came on 7/6 and said it would only take 20 minutes! I told him that I was told it would take 5 1/2 hours and he said, no way. He may have been at my house no more than 30 minutes. His name is Michael Bateman. I would give him a 5 rating. I asked the service manager why I wasn't told about the mobile van and he said they hadn't worked on the verbiage for the call center and the techs. I feel I should be compensated for the waste of a half day, the 60 mile round trip and the frustration on June 30th. More

This was the 2nd time I took the vehicle to the dealership for the same issue ( recall for a backup camera). The first time the dealership kept the truck 2 days without being able to remedy the iss dealership for the same issue ( recall for a backup camera). The first time the dealership kept the truck 2 days without being able to remedy the issue. The 2nd time the dealership kept the truck 2 days without being able to remedy the issue. If they weren't able to remedy the issue, the issue at hand would be to replace the backup camera in my opinion. More
