Hello to all reading this:
I live in Australia and earlier this year I purchased a new fiesta WT diesel. A few teething problems which include the drivers seat not maintaining its height. Concerning mine; I need to adjust it every day.
Soon after purchasing from the dealership, I returned my car for repairs and I was told they needed to replace parts to my drivers seat. Within a few days it was back to normal and I needed to keep adjusting the seat daily and sometime several times every day.
I took the car back and this time I was told they will replace the entire base of my seat.
They needed the car for several days and gave me a brand new loan car which happened to be a fiesta.
Well, this brand new loan car had exactly the same problem with the drivers seat.
I reported this to the dealership.
After some days I picked up my car and shortly after the seat began to drop yet again!
I have now been told in Australia Ford are saying that there are only 3 other vehicles like my fiesta that have been reported with the same problem.
I now believe FORD are in denial and don't want to except liability for this problem.
My drivers seat has been 'fixed' 2 times and when you add the initial problem, this adds to three. And then there is the loan car they gave me. So within one dealership and only counting myself there are 4 counts of this problem.
What I should do is go and buy a lotto ticket.
I have now been told Ford is working on a 'solution'
If you ask me, we are not the only ones out there with this problem.
Too many lies to cover up a massive recall on seats.
Lucky for me my family barrister is good, I am losing the enjoyment of my car daily from the very first day.
If Ford will not fix this problem, the only way is to expose them to which the outcome will not be regarding publicity and their sales percentage declining.
Hope to hear from anyone else out there that is experiencing the same problem.
