I agree with everything you said. I was just making a point that having them “fix it” before you sign for it is probably not the best option since there’s a 99% chance that they will just do a quick cover up to make it easier on the eyes at delivery.
Anything else to add to your first post?
Here is s
This is mine it has axle rust and attachment hardware that is corroded. Article can be found on Detroit Free Press. Let us know what Ford tells you. It's the worst one I've seen on exhaust. It's crazy we are having to deal with something so stupid on the manufacturers part.
That was me, and they did nothing more than to wire brush off the rust.
Agree, If the rust and corrosion was seen before purchase, I would reject the truck and move on.
I too chased this - talked to 2 dealerships, opened a case with Ford... denied. At this point I’m planning to clean it up myself. I really like this truck, but Ford not so much. I’ve owned Subaru, Jeep, Jaguar, Toyota, Volvo and GM. Never treated so poorly and never had rust on a brand new vehicle.
They did a decent job of cleaning it up. Whether the rust will return here in Texas, who knows? But I figured they at least got the truck back to original specs.
Was that specifically for rust on the exhaust, the diff, or both? I can see them saying it’s ok on the diff, but the exhaust seems highly suspect. You also can open a BBB case. I was successful once in the past with BBB arbitration against GM on a warranty issue and they were bound and required to fix it.
Jesus Chirst so they just pretty much told you to kick rocks?? I’ve spent the last 24 years perfecting my anger management skills but with this kind of treatment I will surely be handing out pallets worth of cans of whoop ass. I hope I can still get on this forum from inside prison.
Yeah. Pretty much told me that. Non-warranted. I provided them with pictures of all of the rust AND video of the exhaust. Just kind of waiting now for the dam to break and get an official mea culpa from Ford Corporate.
