Ford Motor Company Reviews - 147

You know, sometimes you just

You know, sometimes you just gotta eat a slice of humble pie. I was all riled up after a visit to my dealership, convinced they didn't know what they were doing. I mean, their advice seemed way off, you know? But turns out, they totally knew their stuff. After a bit, I realized they were genuinely trying to help. Big shoutout to Ashley, Keith, and the tech team for their patience and expertise. It's not easy dealing with a skeptic like me, but they stayed professional and helpful. I owe them an apology and a thank you for steering me in the right direction. You guys rock!

I've been cruising around in

I've been cruising around in my Lincoln Aviator for four solid years, racking up 90k miles, and I gotta say, it's been quite the ride. Apart from the alternator and the driver seat fan giving up, it's been smooth sailing. Swapped out the tires at 39k miles, but that's just regular stuff. Now, as I get ready to trade it in, it's like saying goodbye to an old friend. Really impressed with the 2021 Aviators, though. They’ve hit the mark with those. Kudos to Ford for keeping the Lincoln spirit alive and kicking. It's tough letting go, but I'm excited for what’s next!

A new feature could be made for cars

A new feature could be made for cars that would drop the windows automatically if a crash is detected. My vehicle already has alerts and signals for potential accidents, so adding this feature should be simple. If the alert is false, it would be easy to raise the windows again. This could be a life-saving improvement.

I've been with Ford for

I've been with Ford for years, and it's been smooth sailing until recently. This year, I called about a warning light, and the rep I spoke to had quite an attitude, insisting I needed an oil change ASAP. I knew it was just a service reminder, but she kept saying it was urgent, mentioning some mysterious "pot" of money I'd never heard of. When I reached out to the service department, they confirmed it was just a reminder, and my service and MOT were scheduled for October. However, the earliest they could offer a pick-up and drop-off was October 30th, which is cutting it close for my MOT due in early November. Looks like I'll have to wait at the dealership with my kids. Not renewing my service plan; I'm looking elsewhere. Ford Glasshoughton Castleford really let me down this time.

I’ve been driving my 2020

I’ve been driving my 2020 Lincoln Corsair for a while now, and it’s been mostly smooth sailing until recently. The tire pressure sensor light popped on, but it doesn’t show any pressure details, which is frustrating. And then the check engine light joined the party. I figured it was time for a check-up at the dealership. They ran a diagnostic test, and it cost me $552. That wasn’t the end of it, though. The fuel tube assembly needed replacing, which set me back another $297, not to mention extra charges, bringing the total to $953.38. Having driven Lincolns since the 90s, this experience has me rethinking my loyalty. Not sure if I’ll go for another Lincoln after this.

I just got the new

I just got the new Ford Explorer EV and, let me tell you, some quirks are driving me nuts! Every time I start the car, the fan for the heat kicks in automatically. Who thought that was a good idea? And don't get me started on the speed warning that keeps resetting itself. I turn it off, and boom, next time it's back on. I’m a big guy, 6-foot with a bit of weight, and the pedals are too close together. It’s tricky, especially since I’m disabled. And seriously, can we tone down the annoying beeps for doors and everything? I know when my door's open! Ford, please give us an update to sort these out.

Back in college, I drove

Back in college, I drove a Ford Escape. It did its job, super reliable, but nothing fancy. Fast forward a few years, and I upgraded to a Lincoln MKC. It was a smooth ride, felt like a step up. But right after I decided to buy it at the lease's end, I found out it was discontinued. Not great for resale, right? Then, six months later, the dealership's awesome service department discovered a cracked crankshaft. Luckily, they covered it under warranty, which was a relief. A year after that, I decided to sell the MKC. It was quite an experience, a mix of highs and lows with Ford.

So disappointing

So, here's the deal. We run a fleet of 15 Ford vehicles, and I've tried buying each one from different dealerships. It’s mostly because no dealer seems eager to keep our business. If they have what I need, they’re quick to sell it, but when I return, they're not too keen on finding what I want if it's not on their lot. It's frustrating. You'd think they’d want to keep a loyal customer, right? And now, I'm stuck with a dealer who can't even get my title sorted out. It's been over two months! Honestly, the lack of effort to win over customers is disappointing.

I was looking to buy a new Ford Kuga.

I was looking to buy a new Ford Kuga. I filled out my information on the Ford form. A Ford garage reached out to me and I shared my details. I was happy to see the process moving forward. Then I waited for a call back. I waited and waited, but still no response. At this point, I’m starting to think no one will get back to me. It feels like the Ford ads I see are meant for someone else.

Trust me, buying a car

Trust me, buying a car from Wyatt Johnson Ford was a nightmare I wouldn't wish on anyone. I got a certified pre-owned vehicle, thinking it was a safe bet, but boy, was I wrong. Just two months in, my car broke down, leaving me stranded and with a hefty repair bill. It didn't stop there. A few weeks later, I discovered serious safety issues that needed urgent fixing. Then, a transmission failure happened, which was supposedly checked during their so-called "rigorous testing." Just a week after that repair, I was stuck again, waiting for a tow because of yet another major failure. What’s worse, when I reached out to Wyatt Johnson Ford and even Ford Customer Care, I got radio silence. I filed a complaint with the BBB, hoping for some action, but nothing. Wyatt Johnson Ford's indifference to these problems is shocking and makes their promises feel completely empty. I’d urge anyone to steer clear of this place if they value their time, money, and peace of mind.

So awfull!

Back in 2018, I was pretty excited to drive home my brand new Ford Escape. Heard good things about Ford, so I thought I was making a solid investment. Fast forward to 2020, my car started shuddering like crazy. The dealership replaced the torque converter since it was under warranty, but guess what? The issue came back a year later. They swapped the torque converter again, said it’d be fine. Spoiler: it wasn’t. Now, out of warranty, the shuddering is back and suddenly I’m told it’s a known transmission defect. They should’ve replaced the whole transmission from the start! It’s gonna cost me $6,000 to fix now, and my car’s trade-in value is a pathetic $1,000. Still making payments, and my car’s worth almost nothing. Ford really dropped the ball here, and I’m stuck paying the price. If you’re thinking about a Ford Escape, do your homework.

Avoid Ford if you can

I bought a brand new MSRT truck and had been a loyal Ford customer for years, always managing service appointments despite the odd missed mileage mark. But this time, things went downhill fast. I took my truck to the Doncaster branch on York Road for a routine service. Just three weeks later, the truck broke down. The AA guy said it was overfilled with oil. Ford then tore apart the engine without my consent and just tossed the parts in the back, all oily and unprotected. They later quoted me 20k for a new engine, saying my warranty was void because I was over the mileage. Jack, the manager at Doncaster, was no help—barely communicative and refused face-to-face meetings. Ford HQ was also slow, taking days to respond to emails. They offered me a hire vehicle, but at a cost. Really disappointing experience. Avoid Ford if you can.

Back in 2015, I was

Back in 2015, I was all excited to drive my new Ford Focus 1.0 Ecoboost off the lot, thinking it was a futuristic gem. Fast forward a few years, and I’m now dealing with an engine that’s given up before hitting 100k miles. That wet belt they boast about? Total nightmare. It breaks down, and the bits clog the oil, leading to engine failure. And Ford of Columbus? They couldn't diagnose a light rattle, yet were ready with a hefty repair bill for stuff that didn’t even need fixing. Shelbyville’s team later told me I had a rod knock. Ford wouldn’t offer any help, saying my profile didn’t qualify for assistance. Now, my Focus sits unused for years because the repair costs are through the roof. Lesson learned: sticking with brands that prioritize reliability over flashy tech.

I'm beyond frustrated with my

I'm beyond frustrated with my experience at Kelly Ford in Beverly. After buying my car, I've already faced two recalls. They initially told me the fix was ready, so I booked an appointment for August. But my car was stuck there for nearly a month! When I checked in, Christian, who was quite polite, said the parts weren't in yet and that I could take my car back until they called. They said I wouldn't have to pay anything, but I had to wait two days for a rental and still ended up covering the insurance myself, which was over $600 a month. Plus, they haven’t reimbursed my Uber ride before getting the rental. I'm left wondering how long it'll take next time and why I'm paying for their mistakes. I'm truly disappointed with Ford and won't be buying from them again!

I've had my 2023 Maverick

I've had my 2023 Maverick Hybrid for about two years now, and things started going downhill after the first year. The V12 battery started acting up, with constant low battery warnings. They keep insisting the battery is fine, but it's clearly not. It’s frustrating to deal with, especially since there have been way too many recalls already. I was patient because, you know, cars are complex machines. But ignoring such a common issue is just disappointing. Seriously, just Google “2023 Maverick Hybrid battery problems” and you'll see it's widespread. I'm at the point where I'm thinking about trading it in for something else. Honestly, I can't recommend Ford to anyone. It's been a really disappointing experience.

Man, it's been a wild

Man, it's been a wild ride with Ford lately. I've been a loyal customer for ages—my 2019 and 2020 trucks were solid. But now, with this safety recall mess, they’ve totally dropped the ball. Their response? Basically, "not our problem." The way they handled it was just rude and unprofessional. I mean, come on, Ford, we're in America—treat your customers right, or we'll take our business elsewhere. They even had the nerve to suggest I pay for a rental and parts upfront. Seriously? It's like they don't care if something happens to my family because of their issues. I'm done with Ford, and I'm telling everyone I know to ditch them too. They're finished in this town, for sure.

Driving down the highway, imagine

Driving down the highway, imagine my shock when the A Pillar just flew off my car. It nearly caused a big accident. Not long after, the B Pillar Door Trim on the passenger side also fell off. The driver's side trim is peeling as I write this. These issues have been under recall for almost two years now, but Ford hasn't taken any action. No parts, no information, nothing. It's frustrating that they won't reimburse customers who choose third-party fixes, even when these companies can get the parts. Ford should either fix the issue themselves or let us get it done elsewhere and cover the costs. Having a car with parts literally flying off is not acceptable.

I gotta tell you about

I gotta tell you about my experience with this company. So, my truck's just hit the 5-year mark, and it's barely done 100,000 kms. Imagine my surprise when the transmission decides to just quit on me. And get this, it's only been out of warranty for, like, three months. I've heard whispers about these 10-speed transmissions being dodgy, but I never thought it'd be my problem. I reached out to Ford, hoping they'd have my back, but no dice. It's like they see these trucks as throwaways once the warranty's done. It's frustrating, feeling like you're left out in the cold just because a piece of paper says your time's up. Seriously disappointing.

When I got my 2023

When I got my 2023 Ford Escape, I was super excited, but that didn't last long. Just four days in, a weird noise started up, so I took it to Ford. They initially said it was a pump issue and covered under warranty, but then backtracked, claiming it’s a "normal" noise. Seriously? A car shouldn’t make odd sounds when starting up, driving, or just idling. I even recorded the noise to prove it’s not normal. Ford’s dodging responsibility, and I suspect if it wasn’t under warranty, they’d be quick to fix it—at my expense. It’s frustrating, and I’m ready to take action if it causes more issues. This might be my first and last Ford.

You know, I’ve been thinking

You know, I’ve been thinking a lot about why our Ford Transits here in North America just guzzle gas compared to the ones in Europe. Over there, they’ve got this 2.0L EcoBlue Diesel engine that does around 35-40 MPG on the highway. Meanwhile, we're stuck with versions that only manage about 16 in the city and 23 on the highway. It’s frustrating because it feels like we’re missing out on some really efficient technology. Ford was supposed to bring that engine here, but they just decided not to. It’s a real letdown, especially when you consider how much better the fuel economy could be. Why can't we have the same options?

Took my Ford for its

Took my Ford for its MOT, and it passed as usual. But then, boom, right on top of the certificate, there’s this bold line saying there's a recall issue and to contact Ford for a free fix. Panicked a bit, so I called Ford immediately. They checked and said my car’s clear, no recalls. Phew, right? But I was selling it, and the buyer got cold feet seeing that recall notice. Wanted to haggle the price down. Now I'm stuck with the car, thanks to that line. Frustrating! Ford’s brushing it off like it’s not their problem. Seriously considering talking to a solicitor. All I wanted was a smooth sale, not this mess.

I walked into Hendy Ford

I walked into Hendy Ford Eastleigh expecting a smooth experience but was greeted with anything but that. The staff seemed uninterested and downright rude, as if they were annoyed by my very presence. I felt like I was bothering them by simply asking questions about their cars. It was frustrating and disappointing, to say the least. They acted like they didn’t care at all, which made the whole process unbearable. Honestly, I’ve never been treated so poorly by any company before. If you’re thinking about getting a Ford, you might want to look elsewhere. This place just isn't worth the hassle or the headache.

I've got a 2021 Ford

I've got a 2021 Ford Escape, and it's been a real headache. Both rear windows got stuck open because of some cable issue around 58,000 miles. Not cool, right? You'd think Ford would have a recall for something like this, but nope. I went to an independent shop to fix it, and now the dealership won't cover the costs just because I'm over 36,000 miles. Seriously? That's not even a lot for this kind of problem. Even though Ford admitted there's an issue, they didn't offer any compensation or help. Just feels like Ford's quality and customer service are really lacking. It's been frustrating dealing with this.

Let me tell you about

Let me tell you about my experience with the Bronco. I needed to replace a headlight, and boy, was I in for a surprise. The whole process is crazy! You can’t just do it yourself; you have to go to the dealer because of how it's designed. They have to remove the front of the car, and that’s a solid 2.5 hours of labor. I found out the headlight alone costs about $275, and with labor, it’s over $500! I reached out to Ford, hoping for some assistance, but their response was less than helpful. It's frustrating, and honestly, I'm considering saying goodbye to my Bronco. It's just not worth the hassle.

Back in 2007, I got

Back in 2007, I got myself an F150 and it ran like a dream for 14 years, no hiccups at all. Fast forward to 2021, I decided it was time for a tune-up. Things were smooth until 2025 when that dreaded engine light popped on. Turns out, cylinder 3 was misfiring. The folks at the service center mentioned that the tune-up was only meant to last a year, which I found out the hard way. I had only clocked 15,001 miles since the last tune-up. Now I'm stuck paying for another one. And to top it off, I never heard back from the service center. Feeling pretty let down by Ford, I gotta say.

Man, I've had quite the

Man, I've had quite the ride with my 2015 Ford F150, and let me tell you, it's been a bit of a rollercoaster. Less than 150,000 miles on it, and I've already been to the dealer four times. Turns out, the phasors weren't getting enough oil pressure, but just enough to avoid triggering a fault code. The solution? A brand-new engine! I mean, really? I never expected a Ford to be such a one-time-use deal. It's a shame because the workers are skilled, but the engine quality just isn't there. If I'd known, I probably would've gone with a different brand. It's disappointing, really.

You won't believe what happened

You won't believe what happened with my Ford. It's like they planned it to go haywire the moment the warranty ended. I mean, who does that? It's frustrating to think a company would cut corners with parts that barely last 10,000 miles. I was a loyal customer, really thought I'd stick with them for years, but they've pushed me away. Next time, I’m going with a Nissan. They seem to know how to build cars that actually last. Asian carmakers just get efficiency in a way Ford doesn’t. So, that’s it for me and Ford. They’ve lost a customer who was ready to spend big over the years.

I once had this old

I once had this old 1918 Ford Focus, and let me tell you, it was a nightmare. Water kept leaking into the boot, which I later found out is a common problem with these cars. When I went to my local Ford dealer, they said it would cost around £1500 to fix. That's insane, right? What really got me was that Ford knows about this design flaw but doesn’t do anything about it once the warranty is up. It's like they just wash their hands of the whole thing. After this experience, I'm done with Ford. My friends who had similar issues feel the same way. It's just not worth the hassle.

I've been a loyal Ford

I've been a loyal Ford customer for ages, my whole family has been actually. We stuck with Ford because it felt like a brand with values we could trust. But now, seeing Kirby Smart as the face of Ford? It's disappointing. It's not about the cars; they're great. It's about who represents them. Using someone who doesn’t seem honest feels off to me. Ford was always about integrity, and this choice doesn’t sit right. It's like they forgot what they stood for. Just wish they’d pick someone who truly reflects the brand's values. Makes me rethink what Ford is about nowadays.

I got this 2024 Ford

I got this 2024 Ford Edge and, man, what a headache! Transmission went kaput, and guess what? No loaner cars at the dealer. Seriously? So, I had to rent one myself. Figured I'd get the money back, right? Wrong. They said they wouldn’t cover the whole rental. And then, instead of a check, they give it back on a debit card. Ford, really? A giant like you can’t just write a check? It's beyond frustrating. Honestly, never again. This whole mess is enough to make me swear off Ford for good. Worst experience with a car company ever.
