Nevermind, pointless.

 

I think I would take it back and let them have another shot at fixing it.

 

Pointless..

 

You should demand they pay for a rental car. Every time I have taken my truck in, the dealership has gotten me a vehicle. Last time I told them I needed a truck for work and that's what they got me (it was a chevy though from enterprise)

 

I'm not in GA, I'm in FL and I just went through this lemon thing with Nissan. In Florida, after 30 cumulative days out of service, it qualifies for lemon, but even then, they get one more attempt to resolve the issue. Or, if it's the same repair attempt after 3 times they get a 4th attempt to repair it. The issue with filing lemon in Florida at least, is the malfunction must substantially impede the performance, resell or safety of the vehicle. You're going to be inconvenienced one way or another and the way I won was to continue to oblige their request to repair it within the scope of the lemon law. In the end, you'll have to give them their chance by law. Keep meticulous records and document everything, conversations, names, times, dates and you'll have a foundation for a good case.

 

The problem with the lemon law is that you will lose alot of money when you try and give it back. The lemon law forces the dealer to buy back your truck if it qualifies under the law. The downside is that they are only required to buy it back at market value. You still obsorb all the depreasion from selling a nearly new truck.

Work with them, they will probly work with you.

 

I know someone who just went through a lemon law on his corvette in NY. His car was just dieing for no reason. It has to have the problem 3 times and at that point they flew a specialist in. Could not fix it, everyone at the dealer said he will never get his money back. Well he won and got every dime that went into the car including tax and car rental (no after market parts).
Let me add the vette was used also. 3 years old.

 

You think the cap may be bad and fluid is coming out under pressure?

 

Did you read the original post?

Personally, I would no go through the hassle of a "Lemon Law" refund for this. I would keep bringing it back until they fixed it.

I would get some kind of rental car/loaner out of them. Seems like they should be offering it for you at this point.

This is bad customer service, and is not helping them (Ford) in this time of poor sales/profits. They should be fighting for their lives.

 

It has to be something with that seal. Even if they did replace it. I would try to find the problem on your own.

Wrap a towell around the cap and duc-tape it. Drive it for a week and take off the towell. If there is fluid on the towell your problem is in that seal. I cant imaging it being something else.

 

Does "a couple drops of brake fluid on the master cylinder reservoir" qualify as a "serious brake/steering failed fix"?

 

I'm trying to figure out how the truck is making it's own brake fluid.

You removed all the excess but then the dealership said it had too much in it?

You figure out how that truck is producing brake fluid and you'll have it made...

 

Please learn basic comprehensive reading skills, until then ****. I dont have the time nor patience for ignorant posts.

I said at first there were a couple drops, and I thought no biggie, but as time went on there are now several drops all over the master cylinder, and actually puddling in the grooves.

Basically, if I buy a new vehicle, it should not leak ANY fluids, especially brake fluid. And if they cannot fix the problem after three times, and they wont even give me a rental, than you've pissed me off. I mean what ever happened to customer service?

I do not have time to jerry rig the cap, if it does not seal on its own, than I refuse to rig it. Its a new vehicle, I dont think that we are comprehending that.

LOL, this is sad that we(as Ford owners) have become so used to factory flaws that we defend them and ignore them. Well I for one refuse to let my warranty expire and let something like this become a serious problem down the road that I have to pay for.

 

I personally soaked some out, but I guess the dealer thought that it was leaking due to original overfill(I told them that it was overfilled when I got it). GGeez, Im starting to think that no one believes me. Is Ford paying ya'll??? Let me guess, the trucks that vibe are customer made up to right??

 

That's it.... we all work for Ford....

They've replaced the cap, they've replaced the whole assembly.

Maybe one of the lines has a pinhole in it or a fitting is not sealing.

You think your fluid leak is bad... I should get you in touch with a buddy that just unloaded a xcab Z71 in disgust that was in the shop 6 times for different major problems.... all brands have problems.

Just my opinion, but I don't think you have a lemon problem... dealership problem maybe.

I mean, it can only be x amount of things causing that and supposedly they've already tried two.
