I hope you all are well and not experiencing the same headache that I am. And believe me, my intention is to make you think 10 x before buying the new mustang (don't matter if this is the EcoBoost, V6 or GT). If you look back on my posts, you will see that I started by explaining my horrible experience with my "almost" brand new EcoBoost with exactly 565 miles. To quickly get you aware of this situation here it is:
To avoid an accident, I had to take my car to a right lane on a real quick and hurry maneuver and end up hitting the sidewalk/curb at 35 and my airbags blow up. To the dealer it went and insurance involved.During this almost 3 weeks, while waiting for my mustang to get fixed ( you read right...3 weeks, to replace airbags with zero body work), I posted many questions like: how to make it faster (COBB Stage 3), how to make it sound more like a bad boy (got many answers), and how to disconnect the side and roof/side airbags, with very little response and none that really helped.
Anyway...I was getting ahead of my time while waiting on my stang to be ready, so I could have an idea in what mods to do after getting my car.
Here comes my RANT:
I am absolutely feed up, mad and disappointed with FORD, with the dealer and everyone else who is involved in the process in getting this car ready. How can a dealer not get ONE part on a new car, after 3 weeks? The part is the airbag that goes on the driver's seat. For 2 weeks, they wait for the headliner/roof to get there, and still, after another week, the dealer cannot tell me when they will get this dam* airbag for the drivers seat.
Here is their answer: As a new vehicle, we keep very little inventory (supposedly all Ford dealer nationwide) and this side airbag seat is made by a 3rd party who doesnt have in stock neither.
Soon, I will be going on a month, just waiting on this sh*T and still, I cannot get an ETA from the dealership. I am done. My dream car turned into a nightmare and as far I am concern, FORD and their dealership are not giving a rats azz about it. Seriously, If you cannot make a new vehicle ready and on the road after all this time because of one part, what can I expect if this was something way more serious ? A car that dont even have a scratch on it !
I ask questions. I contacted other dealers and yesterday I went to the dealer I bought and found a costumer as mad as me. Guess what? This guy went to visit some family that own a cabin near Texas and it was a not paved road...driving at exactly 22 mph, and felt on a pothole...and ALL his airbags blow up...and zero, nada , nothing, zip body damage...not even the wheels. He has now his brand new car, with 200 some miles on the odometer and sitting, waiting for the same part for 34 days.
He is done. As soon he gets his car back, he is selling...and I dont blame him, because I am 99% sure that I want to do the same. It is the worse service ever. NO CONSIDERATION FOR THE COSTUMERS WHO PUT THEIR TRUST ON A MANUFACTURE and gets nothing in response. Please guys, I have no reason before this, to bash and be absolutely mad at the dealer and Ford for doing much about it. IF I dont find a way to disconnect the side and upper airbags and just keep the front (Driver & Passenger) airbag on, I will be selling my mustang and will never look back. SO, it is up to you...but take my rant seriously, because I would hate for anyone to go thru a situation like mine.
Sincerely,
A very upset and unhappy FORD costumer!
