RachelnLa Posted October 14, 2013 Author Report Share Posted October 14, 2013 They claim they checked it! So far so good. I sure missed my car. Jus-A-CMax 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jus-A-CMax Posted October 14, 2013 Report Share Posted October 14, 2013 (edited) SEL should have no issues with the batts....at least not as common as the SEs, something is not right if it does happen. Lemon law is the way to go - changed my mind - Ford has had enough "samples" to figure this issue out especially with all their 100s of engineers they employ. Enuf is enuf. Pray you're not on that list anymore Rainette..." Edited October 14, 2013 by Jus-A-CMax Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RachelnLa Posted October 15, 2013 Author Report Share Posted October 15, 2013 Adair asked about the battery because while it was in the dealerships possession the battery drained. They claimed something like the door must have been left ajar. Uh. No. It will time out and turn off. They had no other explanation. I had to call pop a lock to get the door open because I had not put the key in the fob. It was in the car and the car was dead. Once they changed the manifold they tested the battery to make sure it had not been damaged. So far so good. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jus-A-CMax Posted October 15, 2013 Report Share Posted October 15, 2013 Oh dear...time to find another dealer, this is simply not acceptable. Today my wifey took our Jaguar to have the rear blinders fixed. Jaguar gave her a loaner, no questions asked - an nice 2013 XF. That is why we :flirt: Galpin Motor Company - the Jaguar division.

RachelnLa Posted October 15, 2013 Author Report Share Posted October 15, 2013 I am running out of dealers! My car was filthy when I got it back. Filthy. Rich went back in and told them to come clean the seats and the floor. There were fingerprints all over the doors and the hood. If I had someone vehicle for two months, I think I could have found time to clean it. I can see me handing in a chart to my boss with coffee stains!?!? I just wanted my baby back. I scrubbed it myself. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fbov Posted October 15, 2013 Report Share Posted October 15, 2013 Porter went in for first local service today. Van Bortel Ford in Fairport NY. First thing the service advisor did was "take a little data" but he went out with paper floor mats and a sheet of plastic... Looks promising. BTW, found the receipt for the car's first service. No updates, just an oil change at 5K miles... 2 weeks before my father-in-law went in for surgery. Makes you wonder if he was getting his affairs in order... HAve fun,Frank Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RachelnLa Posted October 17, 2013 Author Report Share Posted October 17, 2013 Aww frank. They say people know. I had a towel in the back seat! Hahahaha. They acted like I was odd for wanting the seat cleaned. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AS2014 Posted October 20, 2013 Report Share Posted October 20, 2013 Hi RachelinLa,I am glad to hear Rainette is back home where she belongs. I just chatted with JusACMax and he told me what to do to get Forita in the profile box. Here she is sleeping in the garage, till its time for our next trip. She now has 11,000 miles but still looks like the day I brought her off the showroom on a cool Feb morning. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RachelnLa Posted October 20, 2013 Author Report Share Posted October 20, 2013 Thanks. Took her to the camp today. Normal trip is around 40mpg. It was cool out so I just had the vent on and got 44mpg. On the way home it was cooler so I turned off the system and got 48mpg! Crazy to think the vent and ac eat up the same!?

Jus-A-CMax Posted October 20, 2013 Report Share Posted October 20, 2013 (edited) Yes it does...try that over 840 miles...lol..hypermilers life ;) Edited October 20, 2013 by Jus-A-CMax Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AS2014 Posted October 20, 2013 Report Share Posted October 20, 2013 Wow that is really good, I Forita hit the 47 mpg mark the other day coming from New Orleans crossing the causeway, man I was impressed , but to be honest I was happy when she was getting 40 mpg, never had an auto get that. The last update does work it took a few trips to build the mpg back up after they reset everything. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
