Default Ford Service

Just got my car back from having warranty issues looked at, it had an oil leak and creeking in the steering.

Fixed oil leak, they had to reseal the engine or something, Im not mechanically minded.

Anyway fixed everything, went to pick it up and they had detailed it inside and out and didn't charge me a cent.

Very pleased with the service, great to see Ford.

What was the creaking in the steering? Mine has just started to do the same, or rather it clicks loudly when turning the wheel lock to lock.

Great to hear!
My dealer is pretty good, I only have to mention a concern and they are on to it.
Luckily there has only been 2 concerns!
