Hi,I am due to return my Ford Ranger to Mobilize Lease & Co. next month.As previously advised, the vehicle has a cracked window resulting from what has been identified as a manufacturing defect (please see the attached email correspondence from Ford themselves). Despite making several attempts to have this issue resolved, including spending two full mornings at a Ford dealership, I have been unable to obtain any meaningful support or resolution.I am therefore writing to formally notify you that, unless this matter is addressed beforehand, the vehicle will be returned with the window still cracked.If you would like the defect repaired prior to collection, I would suggest liaising directly with Ford to arrange for the vehicle to be collected and repaired. In that event, I would also require a courtesy vehicle for the duration of the repair.I wanted to make you aware of the situation in advance to avoid any misunderstanding when the vehicle is returned.Thank you for your assistance, and I look forward to hearing from you.Kind regards,Anth

I would like to leave my comments on a recent visit to the service centre.I rang on Wednesday and arranged to drop my car off on the Friday morning. I was informed of the cost of the check over and later received an email on the problem and the costs.I would also like to mention the very helpful assistance of Chloe Heathcock who was dealing with me, and offered me alternative repair options.Overall a very satisfactory experience.The only obstacle I had was that I received a text asking me for feedback, but it didn't say how to get in touch. I had to search for a way to reply.

LETTER OF CLAIM – CONSUMER RIGHTS ACT 2015Vehicle: Ford Focus ActiveRegistration: NX20 JHZPurchase Date: 27 June 2020Mileage: Approximately 33,996 milesDear Sir/Madam,I am writing to formally set out my claim under the Consumer Rights Act 2015 in relationto the above vehicle, supplied by your dealership on 27 June 2020.The vehicle has been maintained exclusively within your Ford dealership and has a fullFord service history.1. Fault and DiagnosisOn 8 May 2026, the vehicle displayed a spanner warning light and entered a reducedpower (limp mode) condition. I contacted Ford immediately and arranged inspection atthe earliest available appointment, alongside a scheduled service.During initial diagnosis, fault code P250F was identified and the engine oil level wasreported as low. The oil was topped up during this visit.On 21 May 2026, I noticed abnormal exhaust fumes and returned the vehicle to thedealership on 22 May 2026 for further investigation.Subsequent diagnostic testing, including compression testing, identified lowcompression in cylinder 1. The recommended repair is a full engine replacement.The quoted repair cost is approximately £7,500.2. Legal Basis of ClaimUnder the Consumer Rights Act 2015, goods supplied must be of satisfactory qualityand durable, taking into account age, mileage, and maintenance history.Given that:• the vehicle was supplied new in June 2020• it has been fully maintained in accordance with manufacturer servicingrequirements• it has covered only approximately 34,000 miles• and has suffered a major internal engine failure requiring full engine replacementI do not consider the vehicle to have met the required standard of satisfactory durabilityunder the Act.3. Resolution SoughtI am seeking a fair resolution, which I would expect to include a significantcontribution towards the cost of repair or replacement of the engine.4. Next StepsIf this matter cannot be resolved within 14 days, I will consider pursuing further actionthrough alternative dispute resolution and/or the County Court small claims process.I hope this matter can be resolved amicably.Yours faithfully,Nicola Parkin

I have just had my car serviced at Lookers Ford Middlesbrough on 22/5 under my second service plan for the car and have been a loyal customer at Lookers/Jennings for over 20 years. My current Kuga 2020 model has all been serviced at the dealership as was my previous 4 Fords. I now find minor jobs that occur which used to be fixed without charge bulbs fuses wiper blades fixing and the like now have a charge. you now have to have a diagnostic at a cost of £175-180 . It first happened six months ago when my battery failed £175 diagnostic then I was charged the full cost of a new battery well over £500 for a new battery that was a joke in itself but i didnt laugh then. Now My rear washer failed and on the paperwork a diagnostic fee £189.60 to fix it plus any parts. It is incredulous that a trained technician cannot hear the rear washer pump motor was not engaging and on checking the car during the service work out the fault is either the pump failed (but front still working so unlikely) or fuse was blown. Admittedly it took me 15 minutes to source the fuse box details in the manual and track fuse 81. A technician should be able to locate this in seconds. It was the latter a £2.50 fix and 5 minutes of my time technicians time even less and it would give quality of service and reward customer loyalty. If the first obvious check failed then OK it gets more time consuming but a full strip down of the rear washer system flush out and new parts nozzles and pump is quoted at £120 by competitors. Not this £189 diagnostic which is open ended .Lookers are pricing themselves out of the loyalty of customers by this money making trick. It would be better to say we tried the obvious a blown fuse and fixed it or it wasn’t the cause and it needs a little more. A fixed price diagnostic is not cost effective a full strip down of the rear washer system would only take 30 minutes for a trained technician. I expect better of Lookers/Jennings.

Dear Sir/Madam,I am writing to formally raise a complaint regarding ongoing issues with my Ford Focus ST-Line, which remain unresolved despite multiple visits to your Middlesbrough dealership.The vehicle was originally purchased from your Sheffield branch, where I was advised to bring it to your Middlesbrough location in December to repair a fault with the overhang guard on the passenger door, which had not been working since purchase.Following this repair, a new issue was introduced. The remote start function via the FordPass app ceased working. When attempting to remotely start the vehicle, it emits three horn beeps, indicating that a sensor is detecting an open condition. This issue was not present prior to the repair carried out by your team.Since then, I have returned the vehicle to your Middlesbrough dealership on two further occasions to have this fault investigated and resolved. Unfortunately, the issue persists.To assist with diagnosis, during my most recent visit I provided my FordPass account login details and also invited one of your technicians to access my account for testing purposes. However, I have received no confirmation that this invitation was accepted, nor any meaningful progress towards resolving the issue.I am concerned that:- The original repair has led to a secondary fault- Multiple attempts to rectify the issue have been unsuccessful- Warrenty deadline is getting closer- Future sale of the vehicle will be affected

Friendly and professional staff, however the pricing of quotations seems to have computer problems, My quotation for service and Mot March 2025 was £248.80, the new quotation for March 2026 was £506.16, for exactly the same work, I queried the price, it was manually amended to £363.85, although staff did not understand, why the price had doubled, still a very substantial increase.I did accept the lower price. Four days earlier I requested a quote from Lookers for the supply and fitting of a new car battery, while my car was being serviced, the cost of the battery would be £155.76 with an additional fitting charge of £177.60 (told this was for one hour labour)...... I declined this additional work, subsequently purchased a car battery from Halfords, who fitted the item for £35.00. How many other customers have been quoted and charged these unusually high prices.? Please investigate and forward comments and explanation. Kind regards Ron Maxwell

Excellent .
