The Maintenance Service or Service department when bring - TheHerm14
The Maintenance Service or Service department when bring your vehicles in is horrible. One of the worst cases happened to my 2024 Bronco Black Diamond Sasquatch. So I bring it in on a recall notice that I have. Since I was bringing it in I told them that the signal switch/control arm is sticking when I make my right turns, turning the left signal light on as the steering wheel comes back to a straight position. Alex my service advisor told me it will need to stay over night you should pick up by tomorrow. For Recall and fix. Tomorrow comes and I get a late text at end of work day saying that the Bronco need to stay due to part being in. Never advised me of the recall situation, so I said okay. 3rd day. 3rd day I called in sent a text. No reply and no answer back after I left Alex a message. I called 3 times with no reply or updates even after I talked to someone. Got no updates what so ever and my vehicle is now 3 days. 4th day comes along and I called in and still no answer after I talked to someone and they could not tell me of what is going on with my Bronco. Finally get a text late morning saying they got the part for the signal light issue and it should be ready.
So the time comes to pick up my vehicle and it was so dirty after I left it cleaned and washed so I know when I left it nothing was wrong cosmetically. Due to the extreme amount of dirt due to all the construction going on right next door, I wasn’t able to notice anything really wrong. All looked fine. Switch operated fine. Now they just told me the recall was never performed due to the shocks not meeting recall requirements. Okay, so why the need to keep my vehicle. I could have picked it up and brought it back another time for switch replacement when part arrived. Well it didn’t matter cause they had it for the 4 days. So I took the Bronco home and decided to wash the vehicle. As soon as the water started to rinse the Bronco the scratch on the rear passenger window appeared. I saw a straight line going straight down the rear passenger window and I got heated. No way was that there when I dropped it off. It was all that dirt sediment that accumulated for it being parked on their dirt area of lot. Due to it being the Labor Day weekend I called the next day Saturday. No answer. Sunday I called twice no answer and left messages. Monday a holiday no answer.
Finally Tuesday comes and called and I got a hold of Alex. He told me due to it not being reported after 3 days they may not be able to help. I said are you kidding me it was a Hokiday weekend and there was no response. So he told me to bring it in and that is what I did. He saw the scratch and their guy Francisco was looking it over hoping they can polish it off. Nope. It was a hard deep scratch and could not be removed and needed to be replaced. I told them this happened under your care and this need to be replaced. Alex told me no worries we will get the process going and get it replaced. Took some pictures. Then he texts me saying they need the Bronco for more pictures as they need to open it up to see if there is any damage to the track and that the track may have caused this. After The first discussion we agreed it had to be a granule that caught in the weather strip and scratch the glass, but he insisted that they needed to open the Bronco passenger door to look at the track. So I dropped it off again and this is my 3rd time there as I am seeing they are giving me the run around. He texted me saying that due to the track being fine and no damage that they couldn’t replace the scratched rear window. I told Alex that he knew and I knew and there guy Francisco knew that it was all the dirt sediment due to it sitting out their for 4 days. Alex told me he spoke to the manager and Ford and because it wasn’t the track they couldn’t replace not replace it. So I called Ford Customer Service to open a case and file the complaint of this unprofessional Service Department at Towne Ford. Terrible
