Salesman misrepresent and the service department STINKS I had purchased 3 cars from Hempstead Ford. No more. The service department has no idea what its doing. From the day I took delivery of a 2011 Esc I had purchased 3 cars from Hempstead Ford. No more. The service department has no idea what its doing. From the day I took delivery of a 2011 Escape that was supposed to be CPO (I just found out was not) was driven by a cigar smoker and it never ran right from day 1. After bringing it back at least 5 times becasue the stench was horrific, the dealership finally swapped out the entire interior (put in the wrong one for the model truck I had and wrong color). The first time I brought it in for an oil change service forgot to close the hood properly and it flew up while I was on a highway. Thankfully, I was ok, but I should have known then. After the interior debacle, I kept complaining something was off. I was complaining the truck made noises when I braked and didn't seem to be shifting properly. Service kept telling me I needed wheel alignments (3 in less than 2 years with no off roading!). One visit they told me my brakes were fine (in the high yellow) and less than a few months later (not a lot of mileage and only light local driving) I was told I needed BRAKE PADS AND ROTORS ($1200 in repairs, I paid less after raising xxxx). How does that happen when I only have it serviced by the dealer? I finally had it after I brought it in was told I needed another wheel alignment, the check engine light went on and they had to replace an $11 PVC part, but they did that under the warranty (Cost me $100 deductible) and they were supposed to fix a recall, ubt the recall STILL shows up as not being completed. Four days later I went to another dealership and traded in my 2011 Escape which I was buying and got a 2018 lease at a loss. A week later I get a call from the other dealership my truck was leaking oil and it needed transmission service (it had been serviced FOUR (4) DAYS before I traded it in! I have the receipts to prove it). With the extended warranty it would have cost me $100 to fix the truck including rebuilding the transmission becasue it was all covered. Instead I traded in my 2011 at a loss and had to put down a lot more than $100 to get into the new vehicle. BTW Service also missed a bad tie rod in my mother's Mercury Mariner and told her she too needed a wheel alignment. Another time they missed bad hoses in the brakes and can you imagine she too all of a sudden needed brakes and rotors too. Really? I have filed a complaint with Ford corporate and I am seeking legal remedies as well. STAY AWAY FROM HEMPSTEAD FORD! More

Spoke to Karen when car was left off for Car was in for service to repair pressure hose, antifreeze change, new tires, oil change, blend door repair. Spoke to Karen when car was left off for servicing. Immediately she organized a loner vehicle until all repairs were completed. Parts had to be ordered and when received the remaining work was completed. Had the loner vehicle for 6 days which was an experience due to the size of the ford explorer. Returned the loner and I am now driving my newly serviced 10 year old Sable. More
