Rich Ford

Recall Service Denied I brought my daughter's Ford Escape in for service due to unusual noises in steering column. I expected full repair of the issue with prior knowledge I brought my daughter's Ford Escape in for service due to unusual noises in steering column. I expected full repair of the issue with prior knowledge of a recall on the part. I was told that three months prior (for a separate recall issue) that the service department had "cleared a fault code" related to the steering column and determined that there was no mechanical issue. Now, the exact mechanical issue presents itself and Rich Ford refuses to warrant the steering column under the recall. They offer to charge me $1,700 for the repair and strongly suggest an alignment for another $100 (which I find out later is not necessary). I call Ford corporate to get assistance and they also refuse to stand behind the recall, issued by NHTSA no less. It is horrible for me to imagine a young teenage daughter having to try and steer a vehicle that potentially will switch to manual steering randomly. Can your imagine your child in this position? I refused to pay Rich Ford for the service and will forever remember how Ford does not stand behind its product. Beware of error code "fixes" that do not also fix a potential mechanical issue! Finally, I delivered the vehicle with no sign of power steering loss, however, when returned back to my possession, the vehicle no longer had power steering - manual steering only! Very difficult to drive. Inexcusable. More

Held up on vacation Check engine light came on in the middle of the night in NM. Called Rich Ford first thing the next day. The Albuquerque location referred me to the Ed Check engine light came on in the middle of the night in NM. Called Rich Ford first thing the next day. The Albuquerque location referred me to the Edgewood location as it was closer to me. I was assured by service manager that he put travelers as a priority as he hopes someone would do it for his family. We spent the next 5 hours waiting on them to diagnose that the problem. Why did it take 5 hours to diagnose and change 6 spark plugs? Because they spent 4 of those hours trying to sell me a new 2018 expedition that they drove in for us from Albuquerque. Once they finally gave up on putting the hard sell on us, they finally pulled our truck in and fixed it...after everybody went to lunch. Trying to prey on stranded travelers is exactly why car dealers have the reputation they do. Change the plugs after the motor cools off and get me back on the road. Stop trying to sell me a truck I don’t want. More

Horrible Had an appointment this morning. My normal repair shop had recommended I see a Ford Dealer to try to get a clutch issue looked at. I described the iss Had an appointment this morning. My normal repair shop had recommended I see a Ford Dealer to try to get a clutch issue looked at. I described the issue thoroughly when I made the appointment and said I would like to wait for service. I took the day off work, and when I arrived in the morning the first person to greet me asked if I was leaving it for a few days. I said I hadn't made arrangements to do that. He said they don't fix transmission issues in a day, and I would have to leave it. I asked for how long, and he said maybe two to four days. I asked him why this wasn't explained to me prior to me taking today off and bringing it in this morning and he became very frustrated and said the people answering phones aren't mechanics. He then said, so are you leaving it, or not. I couldn't believe how rude I was treated, how I was somehow expected to know these things when his own employees didn't, and was not offered even the slightest hint of recognition that perhaps there was some confusion and maybe Rich Ford held some of that blame. I will never go back, even if I have to find a dealer in another city to fix this issue. More

Help was excellent on the purchase of 2 used vehicles. We were assisted immediately in Edgewood. We looked on Sunday and theyhad the vehicles we wanted to look at on Monday. The only complaint was the time We were assisted immediately in Edgewood. We looked on Sunday and theyhad the vehicles we wanted to look at on Monday. The only complaint was the time frame that it took to close the deal. We purchased 2 used vehicles at the same time. Ryan Franklin was our salesman and he was very helpful with all of our requests.

Service department doesn't value customers' time I went in for an oil change and was told it would take an hour. My service adviser went to lunch in the middle of it and I didn't hear from him for th I went in for an oil change and was told it would take an hour. My service adviser went to lunch in the middle of it and I didn't hear from him for three hours. The best they could do to make up their lack of communication and for wasting my time was a coupon for a free car wash. Never coming here for service again. Edit: The service manager has since reached out to me and assured me that the lack of communication displayed yesterday will be addressed properly. Since something is being done to prevent situations like this from reoccurring, I'm happy to say I now view the dealership in a more positive light. It was unfortunate that this happened on my first visit but I'd now be glad to give them another chance. More

Not trust worthy sales person. I purchased a ford fiesta se 2017. The angreement he promised us was $14,800 including the tge gap. When after a couple of days reviewing the purchase I purchased a ford fiesta se 2017. The angreement he promised us was $14,800 including the tge gap. When after a couple of days reviewing the purchased agreement we got charged a whooping $750 on of the $14,800. I went there to clarfy things and first talk to the sales person and confirmed it with him and he said yes it should be included in the $14,800. Went to the finance petson who handled it and the sales person said it should be included with e price. Finance manager said call your manager and fix it. Sales manager came in and was implying iam making up stories and signed the contract. Yes we signed the contract trusting that what the sales person was included in there. Its only money i told the sales person i would pay it, i was asking him to tell them what he said to me when we agrred on the deal. Because it was and my wife heard it from his mouth yes it was included. The sales person answered me ahhhhhh! I realky dont know what i said. I asked him again so you are saying i came here and iam just making lies about it? He replied iam saying yiu are but iam not sure what isaid. Just what said in my othe review. You can easily earn the money but its hard to earn TRUST!!! More

Sync system The sync system on my 2016 Escape went out so as I could not use the phone. I returned the vehicle to have it fixed. After an analysis I was told it n The sync system on my 2016 Escape went out so as I could not use the phone. I returned the vehicle to have it fixed. After an analysis I was told it needed a new module. The part had to ordered from Ford. The part Ford sent did not fix my problem. A new module was sent and everything is fine now. I would like to praise my service advisor Miss Christine for her work in getting my Escape back into working order. If there was a rating system of more than five stars I would rate her as ten. More
