In
1993 I purchased a towncar and have had excellent service from
the vehicle and intended it to be the last car I ever bought
and have kept it garaged and serviced with that thought in mind.
In July of 2002 a problem developed in the drivers door window
in that it would not move up or down so it was taken to the
local dealer, Dick Gregory Ford and Lincoln for repairs. The
door was disassembled and a part was ordered and an appointment
made for the following week for replacement. Upon arrival at
the service dept and after an hour wait we were informed that
the wrong part had been ordered and we would be called with
a date to return. After waiting until the first of September
and after many phone calls we were finally given another date
and the exact same thing transpired once again. The wrong part
had been ordered once more. At the end of Sept the part was
replaced and the window worked as expected except that the drivers
door would not open upon arrival back at home. After many calls
to the dealership and just as many excuses from the service
department the car was finally looked at and the service manager
said that there was no replacement parts for the broken item
and that it was not their doing at any rate. As they had taken
this door apart at least six times and there had been no previous
problem with the operation thereof I feel the mechanic was negligent
in in his work as it was with two other items they had to replace
during the repair and that they only refused to repair their
last mistake because they had no parts available. What does
one do?
Sincerely,
G. W.
