I took my XLT in for the cruise control recall - yes, it is just now getting done after I have had the truck for 2+ years. Ford had my truck for 3 hours to throw this mess under my hood!
I didnt see this till I got home. The original harness is pulled so tight you cant move it and they didnt even cut the extra length off the zip-ties?!
After this they hand me a huge list of "issues" with my truck, like, it needs Rad hoses... It wouldnt hurt, but the $470 would! $40 to replace a PCV valve that is 8 months old, $370 for door strikers, $40 for new windshield wipers, $100 to tell me why my check engine light was on - they didnt notice the ScanGauge I geuss... They wanted to rotate and balance the tires that were just balanced and rotated a couple months ago due to needing new valve stems, They claimed I needed to replace my 2 year old, life time replacement shocks for $560... This list goes on. I asked the tech if he was making stuff up because it was an older truck, then asked him why he didnt notice the E-brake didnt work and the axle damper was shot. He did inform me that my 1 month old Gold series battery tested well DUH!!
They must think that ppl are stupid. But, thats why everyone calls them the Stealership The guy goes, "well, we can get this in for ya today..." I said for that kind of money I bet you could! Thanks for the "to-do" list and thanks for the free wash!
