Thank you for providing further context regarding your experience. We take all customer concerns seriously and want to address your latest points directly and transparently. Our goal is always to provide a vehicle that meets high standards of safety and quality. Prior to its sale, your 2018 Ford Focus underwent a rigorous, certified safety inspection, which it successfully passed. The Ford Focus models from this era are equipped with a unique transmission design that operates differently than standard automatic transmissions. Because of this, our leadership team—including our General Manager—and our factory-trained technicians have gone above and beyond to address your concerns since your purchase. We have repeatedly inspected, test-driven, and scanned your vehicle’s computer systems. No mechanical failures or performance faults have been found during any of these diagnostic attempts. To address your specific concerns regarding the Ford Blue Advantage program: a copy of the completed and signed inspection checklist is standard documentation provided at the time of sale. If you require an additional copy for your records, our management team will gladly provide it. Regarding the 14-day/1,000-mile Money Back Guarantee, Ford's program guidelines explicitly state that this is a dealer-administered benefit subject to specific dealer eligibility criteria and document execution at the time of purchase. Furthermore, all financial transactions, including vehicle pricing, financing rates, and the processing of down payment checks, are handled strictly in accordance with signed, legally binding purchase agreements and standard banking regulations. We have made every effort to work with you to identify and resolve genuine mechanical issues. However, we have found that after we investigate and confirm the vehicle is performing to manufacturer standards, new and unrelated concerns continue to be presented. While we understand you are unhappy with your purchase, we stand by the quality of the vehicle sold and the integrity of our team. Avis Ford is incredibly proud to be an equal opportunity employer that employs and serves many senior citizens and veterans with the utmost respect. While we cannot accommodate a buyback, we remain committed to honoring the terms of your Ford Blue Advantage warranty for any qualifying, warrantable mechanical failures that may arise. If you have a specific, documented mechanical issue covered under your warranty guidelines, our service department remains available to assist you.

Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback regarding your recent service request for a Telematics Control Unit (TCU) calibration update. We understand your frustration with our service process, and we sincerely apologize for any inconvenience or misunderstanding. We appreciate you clearly outlining your request to update the TCU calibration to the current level as specified by the Ford Diagnostic & Repair System (FDRS), and that you were willing to cover the estimated cost. Our service policy requires our technicians to perform a comprehensive diagnostic check before proceeding with software updates, even when a customer specifically requests a calibration update. This is not intended to create unnecessary service work or increase customer bills. Rather, it is in place to: Ensure Proper Vehicle Functionality: Software updates can sometimes interact with other vehicle systems. Running diagnostics helps us identify any underlying issues that could be affected by the update or that may be causing the need for an update. Prevent Potential Complications: Updating software without addressing existing issues could lead to unforeseen problems or even damage to the vehicle's systems. Maintain Warranty Compliance: Performing a complete diagnostic check helps us accurately document the vehicle's condition and ensure compliance with warranty requirements. Provide a Complete and Accurate Repair: we want to make sure that simply updating the TCU will solve the underlying issue. We understand that you felt this was not necessary in your situation, and we regret that we did not adequately explain our reasoning. We value your business and strive to provide transparent and efficient service. We would like to offer the opportunity to discuss your concerns further. Please contact our Service Manager, Larry Sirgany, at 248-355-7500 at your earliest convenience. We are committed to addressing your concerns and ensuring your satisfaction. Thank you again for your feedback. We are constantly working to improve our service processes and your input is invaluable in this effort.

Hi Arryn, We apologize for any miscommunication on our end during your service visit. We have determined the issue with your vehicle. However, to get assistance from Ford, we need to physically inspect the car to pinpoint the exact problem. This involves taking it apart, which requires your approval. Unfortunately, you've expressed that you don't want to proceed with the repair. While we understand your frustration, Ford's policy requires this step to ensure they're helping customers who are committed to fixing their vehicles. What we can do is try to work with Ford to see if they can make an exception. However, they often require a financial contribution from the vehicle owner to cover part of the repair cost. This is because the total cost of the repair is significant. If you would like, and are able to communicate to us, we will reach out to Ford on your behalf and keep you updated. Please know that we're doing our best to assist you, but your cooperation is essential in this process. If you have any questions or concerns, please don't hesitate to contact us.

Hi Ms. Robinson, Thank you for feedback on multiple platforms. Your vehicle has not been in our shop for an extended period, making it difficult to directly link your current issue to past services. Additionally, your past visits were often contentious, and you accused our technicians of not performing necessary services, despite our efforts to accommodate your needs. We remain open to resolving your current concern, but we cannot accept responsibility for any repair not directly related to the current issue. However, it's important to note that any repairs will be based on a thorough diagnostic process and may not be covered by past services. We appreciate your understanding and look forward to working with you.
