d4291797 Posted April 3, 2018 Author Share Posted April 3, 2018 Appreciate your input Transam!However this matter I want dealt with at a senior level.In a nut shell , we ordered a new car, only to be palmed off with a vehicle that was possibly used as a demo car, 50 km on speedo, had on close examination two body imperfections.On arrival at Ford, car filthy, no window tint as requested, (deposit had been paid!No plates.Yes we did get a bit of a discount. But the vehicle I feel ,was totally misrepresented.Feeling somewhat cheated.Sent from my iPad using Thaivisa Connect Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
transam Posted April 3, 2018 Share Posted April 3, 2018 Perhaps you should not have accepted the ride.... In my link you can use the email thing and address it to the LOS CEO I would have thought... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
d4291797 Posted April 3, 2018 Author Share Posted April 3, 2018 I hear what you are saying, but since Ford CNX would not order the color we wanted, we had no choice but to fly South and trust honesty.Obviously complicating the situation.Sent from my iPad using Thaivisa Connect Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
canthai55 Posted April 3, 2018 Share Posted April 3, 2018 Next time - if shopping in CNX, get down to Lamphun or Lampang. Savings well worth the trip for a new car, whatever the make. Plates for a new car can take a while - 2 or 4 or 6 or 8 weeks. Not an issue. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
d4291797 Posted April 3, 2018 Author Share Posted April 3, 2018 Appreciate you advice canthai55 seems dealers for some reason are unwilling to order stock they don’t have.Sent from my iPad using Thaivisa Connect Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

d4291797 Posted April 3, 2018 Author Share Posted April 3, 2018 Hi topt, correct initially a dealer issue.But we feel this matter is not going to have a fair and satisfactory resolve at the dealership .Therefore it needs to be taken to a higher level.Sent from my iPad using Thaivisa Connect Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JoeW Posted April 3, 2018 Share Posted April 3, 2018 Even if you would happen to contact a GM at Ford Thailand, it's still only a GM. According to some very believable sources, Ford is going to stop selling sedans in Thailand for a while. The dealer not wanting to order a new car, might be because of the fact that there are no new cars. Check the date at the bottom of your seat belt. You can see when the car was made. I bet you it's made before July 2017. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
d4291797 Posted April 3, 2018 Author Share Posted April 3, 2018 Hi Joe W , I hear what you are saying, a very valid point.However without going into to much detail.The issue here, is that we paid a deposit, this went into a sales girls personal account, since then we find the vehicle has been totally miss represented.So hence the reason for wanting contact details of someone above dealer level, to hear our valid issues.Sent from my iPad using Thaivisa Connect Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

canthai55 Posted April 4, 2018 Share Posted April 4, 2018 Sorry to hear of your trouble. IM not so HO - even talking with Ford Thailand - this will - as the Stones say - "I Can't Get No Satisfaction" Put it down to the continuing cost of your education, this is what I do when confronted with such problems. My family here has been a real education 555 Only 1/2 kidding Hope it works out for you OK tho' Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cheers You won't find a direct email address for the CM anywhere, that doesn't happen in big corporations generally but you could try an email to fordthai@ford marked for his attention. The chances are though that even if he does see the email (very unlikely, that's what secretaries are for) "he" will respond by thanking you and telling you that your complaint has been passed on to the relevant person with whom you should deal directly in future. He has people to do what you will be asking him to do, unfortunately! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

d4291797 Posted May 14, 2018 Author Share Posted May 14, 2018 Ok I have written to the Ford Thailand CEO and marketing manager, explaining the situation very clearly.The latest drama is, to sweeten the deal for us ,to continue with the purchase of this car.Ford offered to include a five year warranty.Which we accepted, paid cash and departed.Now Ford are telling us ,after serious dialogue with them, “we will only give you three years”.For info the extended two year warranty costs 28500 baht ,and is considerable peace of mind.For some reason Ford customer service in BKK apsolutely refuse to reply to my emails and put any dialogue in writing.The car is fantastic, we love it.But this dishonest behavior from a so called reputable company leaves a very bad taste!Sent from my iPad using Thaivisa Connect Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
