Replying to: cannon3 (Sep 06, 2009 2:55 pm) Well, now that you all completely FLAMED me, and called me everything from stupid to whining, I will complete the story.   First of all, when you buy a car from the auction you cannot try the car out, or check the car out prior to buying it. You rely on the seller to disclose any major defects in the car. Ford Motor Credit is normally very good about this, so you can generally trust them when they sell you a car "green light" which means, the car is guaranteed to be free of major mechanical defects or frame damage. This car was sold to me "green light". This is why I felt cheated, because the car should have been sold "red light" meaning, buyer beware, you take your chances.   It took a month - but Ford is buying the car back from me full refund. I am satisfied, even though it took a month to chase after them to live up to their guarantee. I will continue to buy Fords because they stepped up to help me. Turns out they did care, and they want my continued business.

I wouldn't sell it privately knowing it might kill someone so the factory bought it back at a very fair price providing we buy a new Ford or Mercury new car as a replacement. They got lots of loyalty plus they got us singing their praises.

Replying to: nvbanker (Sep 11, 2009 9:31 am) To be fair, you left out the "green light", "red light" part of the story. Sounds like "green light" is some type of implied warranty.

#5439 of 5511 Automatic interior light programming? by xmech Sep 11, 2009 (12:37 pm)
I looked through the manual and found nothing.   On the 2010 Fusion, is there a way to program the interior lights so they don't automatically come on when you turn off the car? I found the one so the headlights don't come on when you use the remote to unlock the car, but not the aforementioned interior lights.   Thx! Replies to this message: akirby (Sep 11, 2009 1:11 pm)

Replying to: xmech (Sep 11, 2009 12:37 pm) Not that I know of. Did you check the owner's manual?

Replying to: akirby (Sep 11, 2009 11:13 am) The color of the lights was not the issue of concern, so I didn't mention it until I was universally flamed by all respondents. The issue was that Ford wasn't going to stand behind a vehicle with 36100 miles on it. In the end, they did, as they should have, regardless of how or who bought the car.

Replying to: nvbanker (Sep 11, 2009 9:31 am) You have always been a strong supporter of Ford, nvbanker, so I am glad to hear how this turned out. Had I been in your shoes on this deal, I would likely have felt much the way you did.   Anytime I have ever had a problem that was "gray," Ford has stepped up to the plate including AWAs for my Lincoln LS and even for the old Taurus we used to have. They don't always have products that I want but I always felt like they treated me fairly. Of course, I have always had the dealer on my side and your situation was a bit different.   Again, glad this worked out and congratulations for getting it done.

Replying to: nvbanker (Sep 11, 2009 3:14 pm) Cars bought at auction are almost always bought "as is". Apparently the Ford Credit auctions are different and we didn't know that.
