Poor after sale customer service - R....Z
I purchased a 2017 Focus ST brand new at the end of 2017.
A year later the car felt mushy, lots of body roll, however no leaks or excessive noises. Seems like a common concern from all the reviews I’ve read. If you want decent handling for more then 12 months don’t buy ford. Keep in mind this car was advertised as one of the most fun to drive, stiff suspension, better handling, performance-oriented vehicle in its class.
I came in to an appointment for a suspension check. When I arrived, I found out there's no service adviser available for my appointment. Except for the service manager. I was explained he was there in his day off, that's why the casual attire (shorts, T-shirt). That's ok.
He offered to ride with me in the car (one block around the dealership where the roads are very smooth). The car made no noise. So, I suggested i would take him on the highway. That’s where all customer service was lost. I was suggested on an arrogant tone to go get a 4-wheel alignment and if they suggest strut replacement, then he will put it on a lift and check it for leaks and so on…. I wanted my dealer to check that for me. He was telling me the car doesn’t feel like new because its broken in (this car does not handle safe anymore!) …
Apparently unless I’m buying another one nobody is willing help. A car wash is only a wish on a Saturday (its closed), but they advertise it. I kind of expected a loss in customer service after the sale is complete, but this was more like…. “It’s my day off, I don’t feel like seeing customers go pay for diagnostics somewhere else”.
I don’t regret anything, the purchase price was good, so good luck to them, they won’t see me there again. Stay pink Autonation Westlake 😊
