I purchased my 2014 Ford Explorer from Ed Koehn in Rockford on November 22nd. Approximately three…read morehours after purchasing the vehicle, it experienced a long crank upon starting. I brought it back to the Rockford dealership on Monday morning, where they refused to address the issue. I then took the vehicle to Ed Koehn in Wayland, where they replaced the fuel pump under the warranty (I paid the $100 deductible). I drove the car for two days, after which the long crank issue returned. I contacted the Wayland location and was instructed to bring the vehicle back for re-diagnosis. I dropped it off on Monday, December 29th. The dealership had my car for a total of five weeks. During this time, communication was minimal unless I initiated contact. After several weeks, they reported that all six fuel injectors were bad, stating they believed the previous owners had used the wrong type of gasoline. One employee informed me that the warranty would cover the repair so we said they had the go-ahead to tear the engine down. After several days of hearing nothing, I called again and spoke with a different employee who told me the warranty company was not covering the repair and that they would complete the work for a discounted rate of $1,000. I questioned how I could be held responsible for damage allegedly caused by the previous owner, especially since the dealership's website states that all vehicles undergo a thorough inspection prior to sale. I was told the vehicle was sold "as is" and that they would not cover the repair. At this point, I no longer trusted their diagnosis after obtaining another professional opinion. I was charged an additional $120 for the teardown, which I only authorized because I was falsely told it would be covered by the warranty. When I went to pick up my vehicle last week--after five weeks--it had approximately 16 inches of snow on it, indicating it had not been started or driven in several weeks. Upon starting the car, the check engine light was on and the vehicle was misfiring. When I initially dropped it off, the car was fully drivable aside from the long crank issue. There was no check engine light and no misfire. At this point, I have driven the vehicle for a total of two days and three hours and have paid an additional $220 with absolutely no resolution. I now have to pay for a tow truck to take the vehicle to a different mechanic to avoid damaging the catalytic converter. I have attempted to go through the chain of command with no resolution. I am absolutely disgusted and heartbroken by how this situation was handled. I come from a family of Ford loyalists--my father dedicated 18 years of service to Ford. However, due to this experience, I will not be purchasing any future vehicles from Ed Koehn and will be advising family and friends to do the same. I understand that I purchased a used vehicle, but when you buy from a well-known dealership, you expect some level of protection when serious issues arise within three hours of ownership. This entire experience has been a headache, compounded by poor communication and inconsistent information from multiple employees. I would strongly advise against purchasing a vehicle from any Ed Koehn dealership.

If I could give negative stars I would. Funny story, I recieved contest info in the mail, In this…read moreit stated that I was a 10,000.00 dollar winner. So I called to varify, I was told yes I was a contest winner per varification code, to come to dealership to speak with contest coordinator 'Kelly'. Once I arrived I was informed that the ticket I had 'which plainly had three bags of money in a row' was no good yet I qualified for a smart watch.....I left and hence this revue, for I dont see how anyone would buy any type of auto from such a dishonedt and decieving business. I strongly advise to steer clear from this business and seek more appropiate services elseware if you are in search of an auto....
