Takata recall my a/c started to fail with no warning. After putting my car in park, smoke started to rise from the roof and a dark color liquid (perhaps oil) started to leak from underneath the car. I took the vehicle into the Ford dealership, and they concluded the coolant was low and it might have caught contact with the engine, causing it to smoke. This initial conclusion from the Ford dealership than led to them claiming; the tubes had a hole, the fan needed to be replaced, and the belt was heat damaged. I purchased the vehicle in cash from the Ford dealership as used, but a "Ford certified" car; meaning it went through a rigorous 172 point inspection where they examine the cars coolant, engine, transmission, breaks, etc. However, this is far from the truth because months after purchasing my Ford certified vehicle the transmission blew out and Ford had to replace/fix it for free. I've only owned the car for a year and a half, and I've already have had two major car problems! I requested for a buyback and Ford says they aren't able to do so. I am frustrated that I paid for this Ford certified vehicle in cash, just to be duped. My make and model has been reported to have both coolant and transmission problems, I believe my car has both these issues. In conclusion, I have been sold a vehicle that is falsely advertised and a danger on the road, with little to no help from the Ford dealership.

My car is 3 years old and had the transmission replaced 6 months after I purchased the car and then it had the transmission control module replaced - now I always take my car to the dealer for repairs : my car broke down 2 weeks again amd I had it towed to the dealer - they told me I had to pay for a new battery in order for them to find out what was wrong with my car $300 it cost me ( I just replaced the battery in my car 6 months ago), bright car home and check engine light was on( I asked to speak with a manager at this point and the manager in charge told me that they would get it fixed -$73 it cost me. ( I was charged only for the part-no labor ) bright car home on Thursday and car was making a noise so I texted the manager and he said if it was still safe to drive then do so and bring it in on Monday. It broke down that Sunday and was towed into dealer. Now the engine is ruined and they expect me to pay for it when it was their neglect that caused the engine to blow. It was the timing built - when they finally realized that it was too late. I was not charged for the timing belt either. I take my car only to chapman Ford 9371 roosevelt blvd 19114.
