“I brought my car to sarasota Ford on fri. Sept. 8, 2000 to diagnose a fuel odor, clicking in the front end, and an A/C problem. Ford replaced the A/C by removing the dash. After working on it friday, all day saturday (even after closing), and monday, it was ready early afternoon, sept. 11. I did not hear from Ford, so called I myself to pick around 12::40 pm to pick up the car. I paid for the repairs and got into my car, only to notice the seat adjustment not working right. I didn't say anything then because I also noticed the air bag light going on and off. …”
