Terre Haute Ford
Had to replace the breaks, ball joints, tie rods etc. Rip-off

Cars & Transport

I bought a used '98 Ford Explorer Sport from my local Ford dealership for $13,999. I was not offered an extended warranty (probably because they knew all of the problems I would encounter). It seemed like an alright deal, and it WAS a great car.

I have only had the car for a year and a half and about three months into it I started experiencing problems. The transmission is going out. When I took it to the dealership explaining the problems with the transmission, they tried to say that there was nothing wrong with it. (I think they were shocked due to the fact that I am a girl and I actually knew what I was talking about).

I have had to replace the breaks, ball joints, tie rods, cd player because it has stopped working (to be honest most of the electrical system experiences problems), and there are multiple problems with the interior.

I know I am partly at fault for falling for sale. However, at the time I was a 19 year old girl desperately in need of a car. Now, I am so burried in the payment that I cannot trade it on anything. I don't think it would kill Terre Haute Ford to at least offer me a decent trade, but that is too much to ask.

I will have to live with my horrible excuse for a car for now because I cannot afford to get out of it. But I will spend the rest of my car buying days telling my story to any and all of their customers. Thanks for teaching me the lesson of buying a vehicle from such a horrible company.
