New car Blues


Wolfie

Recommended Posts

Well My car Wolfie is still in the shop today. So far it's been in twice for the same problem but this time I am not taking it back until they find and fix the problem or give me another car. The "lurching foward" prob has happened to me 4 times with less than 1250 mi all together. One of these times it's going to lurch me foward into a train or intersection. OH WHOOPS thats already happened 4 times.. good thing there was no train or cars in the intersection! Well the FORD mechanics say they have pretty much tried everything and want me to take back the car and they put a VRM box( ? ) that will record 15 seconds before and 15 seconds after it happens again, when I push the button.. Hopefully I wont be slamming into the back of another car while I'm trying to push the record button !!!

I DONT THINK SO !!!! Not my job...... So I guess I will find out today how they are going to fix or replace my new car. Thank God in Oregon we have a really great lemon law, and hopefully my Ford dealership will not give me a hard time. Kinda cant afford a laywer after spending $43,000 on my Edge....

So....wish me luck everyone today's gotta be the day.... Im sick of paying so much for a car I don't have and can't drive...........

PS any of you mechanics who might be able to offer my mechanics any advice I would take it to them in a heart beat.... :reading:

Are you saying it lurches forward with or without the brakes being applied? Rolling or full stop?
