Ford Canada factory Junk

Windsor Motors 91975) LTD. 13105 – 100 th Street Grande Prairie, Alberta, Canada T8V 4H3

We purchased a new f350 Super duty Crew cab Truck in 2004 with the VIN # 1FTSW31P64ED61701. This truck has been nothing but a lemon from the factory. At 12,000 kms. The transmission went which Windsor Motors replaced with a new defective transmission that then was recalled for another new transmission. The wiring harness was replaced along with all the other recalls. The truck then started to stall with no reason. In three times to the dealer they replaced sensors and everything else that they could think of and still can’t find the problem. We tried to trade it for another Ford at the same dealer when the truck still had warranty (112821 kms) to 160000. The appraiser at Windsor told us the truck was only worth $19,000 while we still owe $40.000. This truck almost killed my husband and me while going up a steep hill in B.C. trying to pass a motor home because it stalled and lost power. Trying to go through intersections is a gamble whether or not the tuck will stay running. I am not into a $21,000 loss for something Ford Canada knows was junk from day one due to the manufacturing in the Kansas plant. We have bought another F350 Super duty in March 2006 and not had these problems with another dealer. We also have had crew trucks that are ford and loved them. When they are built as factory junk lemons that Ford Canada say is the dealer’s responsibility to make the consumer happy and I AM UNHAPPY WITH BOTH WINSOR AND FORD CANADA BUT WOULD PROBABLY BUY ANOTHER FORD TRUCK FROM ANOTHER DEALER. This time I would want to know what plant it was built at first and what to expect if by chance the factory had another bad batch of trucks.
