FORD

Found On Roadside Ditch. That is pretty much the way I feel about the company right now. I have been a loyal consumer of Ford vehicles since I get my driver license 12 years ago. Partly because my dad and a friend of his are well versed in repairing Ford products, and most minor issues with any of my vehicles could be repaired at a fraction of the cost of taking it to a Ford dealership for repairs. Luckily, I have never needed any major repairs to a vehicle of mine and therefore felt that Ford was a decent company.... I was WRONG MISTER. Only when I became the sole owner of a Ford product did I realize how true Ford jokes were. In my one year of owning my Expedition I have spent no less than $2000 in repairs. The last two weeks have sent me over the edge. A part of my sunroof came disattached to the rest of my truck and is virtually impossible to fix without completely removing the glass to gain access to the area that needs to be worked on. Last night while driving home, Wha and myself were listening to my CD player when it stopped. My CD player, radion, and clock are all dead. At first I thought it was nothing more than a blown fuse that I could easily replace. After inspecting all fuses that have anything to do with my car audio and CD system, no fuses are blown. I am at a loss as to why it stopped working. If I can get everything repaired on my truck before anything else goes wrong with it, that damn thing will be traded in for a Chevy or Toyota. I am a firm believer in buying American products, but damn, I am tired of pouring money into something that you can get no returns on. House repairs would not bother me because you can always gain appreciation in real estate. Automotives just depreciate until they are worthless, which my truck is now worthless to me long before its day has come.
