Here is my story as an incredibly unsatisfied customer, and one hoping to save others the pain, loss of finances, and heartache. Months ago, I towed my car to them because an alert saying "low oil pressure" came on in my car. The car still turned on and still ran, however, my manual said to get it checked immediately and that it wasn't recommended to drive with said alert, as it could cause bigger issues - hence I had it towed there- to the closest Ford Dealership.
Fast forward to the dealership calling me to say they could not diagnose anything without me paying them $500 in labor to look over the car and take it apart. Didn't seem correct but I told them to please do what it takes to find out what is wrong with my car.
Dealership calls back and tells me, well we can do two things. Never tells me WHAT is wrong. We can replace the pump and filter for $5000 and we won't guarantee you that will fix anything. The other option is to replace the entire engine for $8000 and then you'll have an engine warranty. Also Ford won't cover any of these repairs because you were xyz miles over your recent Ford maintenance. So I tell them I will have to get more information and call them back. After discussing how absurd this entire scenario is, I call back and tell them I am issuing a formal request in writing for what is wrong with my car and I provide my email and address. I get a call later saying they couldn't hear my email address correctly and their phone lines aren't great and they leave me THEIR email. I email. Nothing. I call. Nothing. This pattern repeats for a month. So then I call the main phone number, they do nothing and transfer me to voicemail. I send a message to the main Facebook page explaining my issue and requesting communication back. Nothing.
So finally, after this goes on way too long, my husband and I go in person to the dealership and the manager of the service department (or one of them) says the person working my case previously was just covering temporarily and she will get me my car back and look into things. She gives me the keys and her email. I have some hope at this point. When she speaks to me again she says NOTHING about what is wrong with my car - which I had asked to have copies of yet again- but "reminds" me that warranty really doesn't cover repairs if you're late on maintenance. We've already full researched this and to deny warranty coverage of serious repairs like the ones they are stating my car needs would require Ford to prove complete negligence and recklessness on our part, as the car is nearly new and has barely been driven because I got it before COVID and worked from home during most of that time.
At this point, I am over being accused of things and told that my repairs won't be covered but never actually knowing what is broken, and arrange to have my car towed back home until we can figure out something. The tow gets my car and brings it back and I look inside and the parts to my car are in my back seat and trunk. Just scattered everywhere. Never did anyone tell me my car was in pieces. Keep in mind...MY CAR RAN JUST FINE when I took it there but had a LIGHT/ALERT on.
So now I have a car that I can't turn on because it's completely taken apart that I have to figure out how to even approach fixing. There may not have even been anything major wrong with my car in the first place. But who knows now. read more
