100's of miles away a year ago one of the time it happened to me. I stuck closer to home after that. The beat goes on and on. Starting to look like a trend Ford is onboard with. Do you know the number out of 150,000 units? 50,000 in NA but how many internationally I wonder? Half the 150?You will be fortunate if it's only a matter of days.
I know it's a bit of a gamble due to the unknowns, but it's probably best if you go home and get back to work, since the repair is more likely to be weeks than days. You could rent a car (or if you're very fortunate, the dealer will offer a loaner), or fly... Don't expect Ford to repay most of the expenses, though they may surprise you and repay some small amount.
Contact @Ford Motor Company customer relations on Monday morning, 800-392-3673. In some cases, but not always, this helps expedite the repairs. And you can ask them about how to get home and/or how to be reimbursed for your extra expenses. The dealer may also be helpful in these areas but experiences are wildly varied.
They should not be so short sighted is my take. It could backfire on their reliability rating and go down hill from there. Wonder if there is a point where they will stand up and put their clients above their short term goals? So far these stories appear acceptable.
