Either that, or you have a stuck CD of Roger Whittaker playing 🤣

Very likely, but usually indicates a problem with it.

We are in a position with a Ford garage who have had our truck since 8th May to 6th December with 5 gaps totally a maximum 4/5 weeks. We trusted Allen Ford Bath but more fool us. We trusted their diagnosis that our truck needed a new gear box, apparently refused goodwill because it was out of warranty. Paid £6100. Less than a week later truck was acting the same. It had five health checks with Allen Ford. We also had a Service Engine Warning come up on our app on 2nd August. It was included in one of the issues yet again we had. It went in in the 8th August. They had it another 3/4 weeks. Same issues continued. Terrible whining noises too.  We were told Allen Ford bath couldn’t have it until the 7th October. Another 6 week wait. Trucks engine went bang 2 days before it was due in. 
Truck was recovered to them, they had it until the 6th December when I got it collected and delivered to Ford Trowbridge. 
Allen Ford bath suspected timing belt gone. We didn’t believe them and did not authorise any more work to be done encases we were already at £1100 and they had had it all that time with no proper diagnosis. 
Truck needs a new engine, intercooler and turbo. Timing belt is deteriorating  too. Estimated at £14,173. 

we have been refused goodwill on the basis that the truck was over due its 2nd service total 4000 miles over. Because Allen Ford bath made us wait 6/8 weeks to be booked in. 
we are totally *****. Truck is leased and was due back on the 1st November. Had to extend for another 6 months. 
has anyone had any of these issues and managed to get goodwill? We are paying nearly £500 a month for the truck, and we haven’t had barely had it since May. 
apparently it didn’t even need a new gear box. 
Our complaint is now with ALD to look into. Absolute nightmare. Any advice would be so appreciated ☺️

My goodness, what a sorry tale of woe! A 4 year old car now worth about £35,000, with a potential spend of in excess of £20,000 to get it road worthy. You are also spending £6000/year for the pleasure of having it!

If it was me, I would be seeking professional legal advice, not any more mechanical advice! Mentally, I would have written off the car by now, at least with any dealings of that Ford dealer that is servicing it.

I simply can't comprehend how all this has happened. 5 years ago, I spent the enormous sum of £1000 to buy my 2005 Ford Focus outright. That's 2 of your monthly repayments, I could care less what the 'Jones' would think...Yes, it doesn't have many mod cons, but I know if I go in to it now, it will start on 1st twist of the key, and take me anywhere reliably. A solitary tale on what a car is actually worth.

I wish you luck going down the legal road but I fear it will be stressful without an easy outcome, but I do wish you the best...
