Just got the final call today. We held off on the lemon law 30 day notice letter due to the dealership trying to work something out with Ford.
The rundown, they buffed the A pillar where the clear was scuffed and had light scratch by the repair work from the bodyshop.
They also removed that piece trash that was above the window.
Sounds great.....well they just used touch up paint to fill in the hole the trash left....why? Ford rejected to repair the area because bodyshop A got paid for the repair. So bodyshop B did what it could for free...along with buffing the clear.
Now when they returned the car to Ford the manager called me immediately saying there was a weird problem on the A pillar. He couldn't get a picture, heck i cant get one either. But it looks like a fingerprint under the clear in the paint.
Ford says the only way to fix it is to spray and try to blend the almost entire side of the car due to the body lines.
Ford doesn't want that, I don't want that either and they were looking at maybe a trade incentive (for the other mustang on the lot) or car payments to compensate for it.
Went two weeks, dealership calling me almost everyday with no update.
Then today Ford says sorry not sorry. Either get it fixed that way or nothing. So phuck, SOL
I'm going to send the letter and wait to see. Its weird because the way they want to repair it isn't really a fix but a very elaborate bandaid in both of our eyes.
If they want to respray the car then they need to take out the back glass to fix the back area properly too.
Also where bodyshop A removed the trash from the inner passenger door ( i told them with they were going to color sand to leave it) the clear is hazed badly.
The trunk repair bodyshop B did looked great. However when i had to take the car back. I opened the trunk and the damage had returned, which they now believe bodyshop A jacked up the alignment cause it to scratch.
Not much of an update.
