You summed up many of my grievances with Ford in this process, plus not even having been scheduled this entire time . The mechanical and electronic problems reported by some have also been quite a pause for consideration. I need a reliable vehicle above all and my 21 has been problem free. Really hoping for better times ahead.Finally someone with the balls to give up. Ford continues to slight me and piss me off yet I still hold on, clinging to my dream of doing some traveling and camping in my closing years. At this point, now this summer is shot as well. I just keep giving them the benefit of the doubt and believing their continual eta updates. I bought a travel trailer in anticipation and it just sits. The value of my car I will sell to help pay for truck has plummeted by $5,000. If buying a truck were as 'affordable' and easy as it used to be, I would have thrown in the towel long ago. Here are my grievances, thanks for allowing me to vent yet again.
Removed park assist
removed max recline
removed contour seats, (rumored stolen, for use in lightnings) I missed the install window by ONE! single day
only gave 300 back for 2160 seats
when my Plat was neutered, they wouldn't let me change to a lariat w/o a price increase. Updated price of Lariat was the same as the price for a Platinum I locked in so I left it.
told me i have a $2500 pco when i didnt, influencing me not to cancel when I had the chance. Now I can't cancel without losing my deposit or having a fight getting it back.
duplicate charging for tow package, I paid for it twice
required tow package to get tow mirrors when truck already came with everything in tow package
taking months to ship thus wasting my summer waiting, thinking it was imminent knowing full well all others in my build period had received theirs. Allowing my uber expensive vehicle to just sit outside in the weather with the field mice when I have a comfy oversized garage waiting for it.
Although Ford can't be directly blamed for everything, the way they have handled things, the way they run their business, and their lack of accurate communication falls squarely on their shoulders imo. If it ever does come in, any excitement of by far, the biggest vehicle purchase in my lifetime will be greatly overshadowed by these multiple negative experiences.
