problem #1

May 122007

Five Hundred 6-cyl

  • Automatic transmission
  • 4,000 miles
Since the day we purchased the vehicle, the gas mileage has always been well below the average for this vehicle. Combined city/highway has never exceeded 17 mpg and it had degraded to 12 mpg until the service department replaced a defective evap hose/fitting. The mpg returned to 17 mpg briefly but has since fallen off to 13 mpg. The dealership we bought vehicle from (champion Ford) has been unable to remedy.
