I’ve been to this dealership many times before for service; mostly recalls, and a couple times to replace some corroded connectors that caused my horn and car lock chirp to stop working. I have never service; mostly recalls, and a couple times to replace some corroded connectors that caused my horn and car lock chirp to stop working. I have never had an issue before but this most recent time was terrible. My car was overheating and I also had a recall needing to be done, i called and the soonest appointment was in a week and a half, which was fine. I took my car in for the appointment and was told they would pull it in and see if they could diagnose the issue and I should hear from them later that day or by morning at the latest. Nothing that evening, nothing the next morning, I called about an hour before they closed to get up an update after not being called as expected and I was told they haven’t even pulled the car in to look at it yet. It was Friday evening and the guy told me that it wouldn’t get looked at over the weekend so if I wanted to take the car and bring it back some time next week that would be fine. This seemed unusual because I had a scheduled appointment for the car and now I’m being told to take it and just bring it back whenever, that didn’t make sense to me. I told him the car is overheating and I barely got it to the dealership, I don’t want to be driving the car if not necessary because I don’t want to cause some sort of major damage due to the overheating issue. The guy said the car would be looked at Monday and they should have an idea of what is going on and call me Monday for sure. The weekend passes, Monday also passes, and I never got a call or update on the car. Tuesday morning I call and the lady said she had to find a technician to see if she can get an update, she returned on the phone and first says they are working on the car then says they just started it and then switches to saying it was probably started yesterday evening but they didn’t have time to fully diagnose it and investigate much. I was told they want to diagnose the over heating issue and then once they get that taken care of they will complete the recall and should know what’s going on and contact me either that evening or the next morning. She said because it’s been so long she would call and update me this evening either way with an update. I received a text that evening saying the technician wants to recreate the issue and a few hours ago he was running tests so he can pinpoint the issue and they should know something by morning. Nothing the next morning, so Wednesday before close I called and was told they are unable to recreate the issue, I said I had a photo of my gauges showing the temperature gauge maxing out in the red, I was asked to send the photo to the number I received a text from before; maybe it would help the technician to see it. I was told I’d get another update the next day, Thursday. Nothing on Thursday. Friday morning I called and the guy who answered told me my car hasn’t been started yet. I said that doesn’t make sense it’s been over a week and a couple days ago I was told it was being worked on and they were running tests and couldn’t figure replicate the issue. The guy was not friendly on the phone at all, he snapped and said “well we are backed up and you would have been told to expect it to be a week and a half or more for the car to be looked at, we only have two guys who work on engines and transmissions here. If your car was worked on there would be a technician assigned to it and there isn’t so it’s not been worked on.” I said I was asked to text a photo of the gauges in and was told they were having trouble finding the issue, he said he would walk the floor in half an hour when everyone gets in and call me. I get a text shortly after apologizing for not contacting me yesterday as promised and they should know something by 10a. I mentioned this morning being told the car hasn’t been worked on yet and they apologized for that and confirmed it is being worked on. I received a call from a guy around 10:30a saying they ran diagnostics and the one thing that came up was a cylinder temperature sensor and it’s $30. I asked if it would be causing the issue and he said he didn’t know and they have to start somewhere. I said go ahead and replace it, he said alright give us a little bit and we’ll get it done. I texted asking for an update Friday and Saturday, no response, no phone calls. It was a holiday weekend, so on top of another weekend going by, I got nothing on Monday too. Tuesday morning I get a text apologizing and saying Jon told her that he spoke to me Saturday and that the part is now in stock. I never got a call over the weekend, and was never told or given any indication that they didn’t have the part or that we were waiting on a part. After nearly just going and getting my car and taking it elsewhere at this point, I called and made sure the part is there and this would be completed today and the recall would be done and I’d have the car before close. I was assured that I would have the car back before the end of the day. I was told the recall was already done, even though previously I was told they were going to diagnose and solve the overheating issue first, and they just need to replace the cylinder head temperature sensor and do a drive test then it’s be done. Finally got my car back. This experience sucked. The communication has been awful, I was given false expectations on when the car would be worked on and when I would get my car back. There’s clearly a lack of internal communication as well. If I would have been told when I dropped the car off that it would be a week before the car gets looked at, I wouldn’t have had an issue. But I was told that it would be looked at that day and I expected to have my car back before the first weekend passed. I’m self employed and rely on being able to get to job sites and if I don’t have my car I can’t complete jobs. I lost a LOT of money from this whole ordeal, and had to cancel jobs last minute, because I was essentially lied to by numerous people about when I would have my car back and when it would be worked on. If I was told up front that it would take over a week, I could have anticipated and planned for that and my work and income wouldn’t have been affected so much. When I picked up my car I was told that typically someone is assigned to communicate what is going on with the car to the customer and for whatever reason that didn’t happen. Out of all the people I talked to and was told various statuses from, I can say that a girl named Carlyle was the only person who actually tried to update and contact me when she said she would, and she was the only one who realized that this whole situation was not going according to plan and that it was taking a significant amount of time far beyond expected. She is who I spoke with when picking up my car as well and she was very apologetic about the entire situation. For the frustration, Carlyle did take it upon herself to get approval for a free oil change to be noted on the account. I have always changed my own oil and filter, and would never have someone else do that, and especially after this experience having to have someone else work on my car other than me, I’m beyond hesitant to ever have to bring the car in again. But nonetheless- it was a nice gesture and I appreciate that she was considerate enough to do that. I really hope this dealership doesn’t put everyone through what I dealt with and they get things figured out because it’s not right to treat your customers the way I experienced. More

I paid for spark plug change I'm not even sure that they were properly changed. It went from no one is here the mechanic called off ..too 2 hrs later my trucks is ready to be picked up. the very next day my were properly changed. It went from no one is here the mechanic called off ..too 2 hrs later my trucks is ready to be picked up. the very next day my truck wanted to stall out on the freeway so i took back to the service center, they said the manifold was cracked from the spark plug change! Also thermostat had to be sealed and coolant was topped off. I haven't been able to get a manager to call me back from the service center my truck is still sputtering just seen I have a fuel injector connector that was broke and was holding together with a zip tie that came loose I'm really disappointed i even considered taking my ford, to a ford service center. How would I even notice something like a zip tie holding a fuel injector together. I'm not a mechanic I figured the people at the Ford service center know how to do their job and how much money I spent and the service I got. So much for a 10 point inspection. The service rep was nice when i spoke them im not saying anything was wrong with him he did the best he could was always very polite, but i was told multiple time the name was under previous owner so they could help me or the didn't kno who i was. I was told when i dropped the truck off that would be fixed not a issue. my problem is with the mechanic(s) i thought this was be a trustworthy center. More
