My wife put a deposit down to order an Escape Hybrid back in July. The dealer was apparently out of allocations and sat on her request and lied and pushed her off for a couple of months before we finally took our deposit back. Even calls to Ford Customer Service did little to solve the problem that the Escape Hybrids are far outselling supply. Ford obviously doesn't have the integrity to slap the hands of dishonest dealers.
We'd like to try again for a 2008 Hybrid: can anyone provide tips for finding a dealer who actually has allocations and ensure we don't get pissed on again?
