Customer satisfaction program number 01B78. I contacted winner Ford and they told me that the offer expired the 31st of August. I don't feel I should have to pay for this to be repaired. I told them that I use my car 6 days a week and could not get it into the office by the cut off date, I also let them know I would never buy another Ford product because I was under the understanding that the customer is always right. This is a safety hazzard and all I would like for them to do is fix it.
