We certainly got that, but we never expected it to be to
the extent that it has become. Reports have emerged that Ford is
actually paying dealerships a $300 spiff to repair each and every
recalled Escape,
which is about 11,500 vehicles. Even our basic mathematical skills can
sort out that we are talking about $3,450,000 worth of spiff payments,
which does not include the cost to repair the issue.
We
are curious to find out if the dealers are passing this spiff onto the
service writers and technicians that are repairing the vehicles or
hoarding this payment for themselves. We are willing to bet that it is
the latter, as the technicians and service writers make commission off
of the recall repairs and dealers rarely share spiffs any more.
In
addition to this extra bonus, Ford is also recommending that
dealerships wash and vacuum the SUV, and fill the gas tank. Talk about
going over the top...
