![]() ![]() What do a person do when you invest in a supposedly good American made car and your engine goes? I have no car, there's no loaner available AND a new engine was ordered and it’s going to take a month to arrive. I asked what caused this, the reply “this happens”. The Certified Warranty expired in October 2022. ![]() What.? My suv is a 2016 that I purchased in 2018. I said yes, then they came back with “jump engine” I asked what does that mean and the said I need a new engine. I get my car towed to Ford shop, they did a diagnostic, came back with crank shaft and cam shaft code, they asked if they could take valve cover off to check for slug. I was so scared and prayed all the way home. At first, I thought maybe my foot is not on the gas pedal. On the return trip my car was not accelerating like it’s supposed to. I just reached 75,000 miles, went for a ride on the highway round trip less than 100 miles. Of course I was never notified, were you? Additionally, while googling, I did find a customer satisfaction program back from 20 or dealerships were supposed to reach out to owners and let them know of this potential issue. Just wondering what everyone’s experience has been if they’ve had a positive outcome. I will take the loss on a trade-in not with Ford! I’m going to file a complaint with the Nevada attorney generals office for unfair business practice, and I may contact consumer protection attorney or take them to small claims court. Unfortunately, it is too late to join the class action lawsuit, but the attorney’s office litigating it said to keep my receipts and perhaps I could be reimbursed in the future. I would like to take legal action against them and I’m curious if anyone has done so? There is a class action lawsuit for this exact issue, which is currently pending litigation in California. They won’t give me full value for a trade and they are just pathetically sorry for my position. I’m curious if anyone has had success of any kind of recourse towards Ford if you bought the vehicle used as a certified preowned vehicle it may be covered up to 100,000 miles and seven years I just passed my seven years on June 10 and my vehicle was diagnosed as needing a new engine, mid July of course they won’t cover it under the warranty.
