We were going to buy a used car but Tony Peck made sure we liked the new one. And he helped us get a good price. The car was delivered fueled up and pristine. The only complaint is that the first time I More

C. Evenhuis - G. Buiter I needed to buy two cars last year and as I’m not from the area and was looking for good, reliable second hands without trouble. I choose to buy them at Peterson (Boise & Nampa) with the thought it being a reputable company. Although asking a high price for a secondhand car, if it would run without significant hassle for a couple of years, it would be worth it (I hoped). During the 90 days warranty I brought it back for a check as the car was overheating (first time driving in the hills) and running rough. Looking back now, after diagnosing, it showed history codes for overheating before apparently and a code for torque converter clutch solenoid error (before purchase). Issue was ‘resolved’ by Peterson by replacing spark plugs, coolant bypass assembly and coolant temp sensor. I’ve been using the car after that only to commute in town and it seemed to work ok until I drove for the second time in the hills resulting in the same issue as before; overheating again and the engine light appeared. Unfortunately driving it the second time in the hills and noticed overheating again was after the 90 days warranty was passed. I brought the car in for a diagnose and (surprise), this time the conclusion was, (in line with unaddressed error from before the purchase), the torque converter is locking up and recommendation to have it replaced together with the transmission and some other parts => total cost ~$8k! Oh and we can’t help you repair it, bring it to Ford… Feedback was that I should have come back again within the 90 day warranty, that they fixed the issue according to their diagnose. I would if I had driven in the hills within warranty time.... As I had only be driving it around town, overheating hadn’t shown again the issues in time within warranty. What highly frustrates me though is that the issue causing $8k of cost had shown up before but wasn’t fixed by Peterson before selling me this ‘reliable purchase from reputable Peterson’. At first the (sales) people at Peterson where very ‘understanding’, “we’ll find a way to support you, we’ll help you out to trade you out of the car”. But when I asked for a concrete trade in proposal, nothing was presented and this ‘compassion’ were just empty promises. As well all the sales training tricks to get rid of me were used. When requesting a follow up meeting to find a solution all of a sudden the sales manager I had been talking to earlier was in meetings for the next 5 days (though did answer questions from the sales reps instantly...) and the people I did get a chance to talk to kept referring me to other departments to clean their slate or couldn’t make any support decision as it was ‘outside of their paygrade’. Conclusion; • The assumption you’re better off buying a secondhand car at Peterson is proven wrong in my occasion. Historic error codes weren’t addressed before selling me the car, causing me high cost outside the warrantee period due to relative high purchase and now high repair cost. They were not able to repair the car. Apparently, there’s no difference in quality & service with the non-reputable car dealers around the block. • I’m highly disappointed with how I was treated trying to explain my issue and, in the end, Peterson not coming with anything to help me in this situation, despite false promises made first. On contrary, every trick was put in place to try to avoid or pass me on to someone else in the company who in the end wouldn’t help me out either. As I purchased two cars at Peterson in one year, I’d expected more solution focused behavior as client from Peterson. Peterson is from now on definitely a no-go for me.
