Feeling completely ripped off Feeling completely ripped off. I was enjoying my brand new Ford Fiesta Active. That is until the service warning and oil change came up 6000 miles early. The dealer said it was a mistake and said to take it in. So I joyfully took it in to get sorted only to be told that it was due for a £250 service, 6000 miles early and that it was not a mistake. What a total rip off. That means if every 18000 mile period I loose 6000 miles its going to cost me a small fortune in additional services by the time the car is even paid for. Totally and utterly ripped by Ford, I have gone for loving to hating this car. I will never ever buy another Ford or ever recommend them again. As a driving instructor my pupils often buy cars that I have been teaching in - I will 100% be warning them of this issue and how this con seems to work. If you want value I would recommend avoiding Ford at all costs.
