2011 F150 5.0 Lemon
Looking for some advice, my truck has been in the Ford Dealership shop for over a month and they have no idea what the problem is.. Getting to the point where I need to start complaining. What should I be asking for? I need a truck, this has messed up my whole summer.
It's only 4k miles past the warrantee, but still on the extended warrantee. The problem started almost a year ago but I didn't think it was a huge deal, and was too busy to get it into the shop. I paid almost a thousand dollars and 400 bucks on a rental car when it was in the shop for 3 weeks, they said it was fixed I drove it home and noticed it wasn't fixed, brought it back the next week. And it's been in the shop for over 2 weeks now, they still don't know what the problem is.
The Ford Customer service person has been impossible to get a hold of through this whole experience. She called me once and left a message she offered a rental car for 12 days, but I've been unable to get her on the phone.
I might be too easy going about this and not ready to name names yet, I'm in Colorado. What can I do about this? Is there anything I can do? Colorado lemon law says it has to be in the shop for 1 month. But it's 4k past warrantee. I was planing on buying the 2015..Now I don't even know if I want to stick with this company. Welcoming any advice.

Use the extended warrantee as leverage. Get the dealership to fix the truck knowing that you are immediately trading on a 14 with incentives.
