BEWARE FORD EVEREST 4X4 FOR OFF ROAD
BEWARE FORD EVEREST 4X4 FOR OFF ROAD We bought a ford Everest at great expense for our safari business for both on and off road –On our first t******* road to the Okavango the cover for the sump tore off which we were astonished to discover was made of plastic! .We had that repaired at our expense, however when we took clients again later to the Okavango the cover for the fuel tank also tore but this time we had a fuel leak as well –we had to get the vehicle with clients from the bush to the nearest town where the workshop there was also astonished to discover not only was the cover plastic but the fuel tank itself was plastic! We complained to ford asking how can they sell a 4x4 off road vehicle with a plastic shield and fuel tank? The manager at Polokwane Ford told me the Everest is not suitable for off road but only for pulling boats and caravans, which we find absolutely nonsense as the vehicle is fitted with 4x4 features for different 4X4 terrains –and if this was the case why did they not tell us this when we bought the vehicle? –the old Everest we had never had this problem as this newer one (which cost twice the price and it turns out is not suitable for purpose) – now we are stuck paying off a very expensive 4x4 that we cannot use for our safari business and how are we supposed to make a living with this vehicle now, (which we bought in good faith) and pay it off ?-
