Contact your lending institution. Tell them about the run around you are getting.
They may not be too thrilled about their collateral getting jerked around.

I bought a great used car, but had a terrible experience with Fordland back in 2002.... Took me 6 month to fix their mistakes and get the car titled. With all the horror story I have heard about them, I am surprised they are still in business.

I realize you signed the paperwork, however taking your vehicle without actually BUYING it from you. You literally at this point do not have a vehicle +cash in trade for the vehicle you gave them. To me that is theft, plus the way they did it seems like fraud.
Oh, is it story time about their staff?
Some years ago, I was working as a lube tech at the Green Mountain Big O Service Center. Two of my mechanic friends and I all drove built Jeeps. Another good friend of mine worked there with me who drove an old K10. So we were all pretty well-versed in the finer points of 4 wheel drives. So one day while we were doing something for one of their sales managers, he poked in the shop and somehow started bullshitting with us about the new F150.
As he was rattling off the features, he mentioned shift-on-the-fly electronic 4WD that can shift at up to 120 MPH. I couldn't help myself and pointed out that if I suddenly need 4 HI at 120 ticks, I'm already boned. I then explained how I'd rather have a chain-driven, manually shifted transfer case anyway. So he ate that one and kept rambling. Eventually, we got to the crazy high-end torque that this new motor supposedly produced. I noted that high-end torque on a 4WD is really only useful for highway-speed maneuvers, and we all agreed that we don't have any need for a fast truck.
At that point he asked us what we all drive (really condescending like), and we all mentioned our respective vehicles. He then went full retard and started discussing how the new F150 could roast us going through technical climbs and trails. We were all just laughing and began to egg him on to see just how far he'd go to try to sell a $50K truck to a bunch of techs who built their own rides from Craigslist donors. Finally the general manager walked back, heard what was going on and told him that he couldn't be back in the shop making a racquet with the guys trying to get work done.

I bought a 2000 excursion from schomp bmw, which included a 30 day warranty. Got it home and there was an occasional thump in the front end which is either ball joints or sway bar end links. Took in in for service and they replacedthe ball joints free of charge. No hassle. I hate dealerships too, and this is the only place that will get my business. They sell a lot of nice used cars in addition to bmw.
I have delt with Shomp BMW weekly since I got into my shop. I now do business with Murray Motors.

Best way to get in to see me at the shop is to call or email Shannon and make an appointment.
When I worked at a used car dealership, Lakewood Fordland had the worst stories.

Seriously?! I would take a Gubmint Motors before an import, but there are plenty of Fords out there so I wont have to go slumming anytime soon!
