ONCE YOU GET YOUR VEHICLE YOU WILL NEVER GET THEM ON THE - Fram2fin
ONCE YOU GET YOUR VEHICLE YOU WILL NEVER GET THEM ON THE PHONE AGAIN!!!!! I purchased a 2019 F150 on 11-1-2025. Since I was an out of state buyer, I opted for delivery. There were items to be addressed as part of the sale, "We Owe Items" as the dealership calls them, so I did not receive the vehicle until 11-14-2025. During this time, I struggled with communication and no call backs but, I tried to get through it. Upon receiving the vehicle there were some defects in the paint that were to be touched up as part of the sale, they were not done. After more than a week of calls and messages, I spoke to the used car manager Sean G. and was told I would receive a bottle of factory touch up paint which I was ok with. Saturday 11-15-2025 I was putting my things in the vehicle, and I found that the passenger side front floor was soaking wet. Again, I reached out to my salesman David H. and Sean G., and I was accommodating and wanted to isolate what was the cause. Upon doing some research myself! I found a couple potential causes. I did not seek any renumeration for items I needed to fix the problem just suggestions. Since I was 100 + miles from the dealership taking back for this was not an option. After checking all of the suspect items I resolved that when the car was cleaned that person must have not completed the extraction from the carpet cleaning. I note that since drying it out and keeping an eye on it I have not had any further water. Keep in mind this is DAY 2 that I have had the vehicle. Prior to receiving the truck, I requested on multiple occasions that they provide me with all service records they had as well as work done as part of prep for sale. During the next week or so I did not put many miles on as I was working close to home. I noticed some odd shifting but since I never owned a truck with the 10-speed trans, I was not sure if this was normal. I did some research to find out that there is a class action lawsuit in progress with Ford over these transmissions. There is a current service bulletin TSB 22-2250 clearly discussing my issues and the required repairs. On November 26th I notified Sean G. via text, since he had at this point been not the best at return calls or emails. I told him I was taking the truck in for trans service, and I was experiencing hard shifts between 7&8 gears. I had the transmission tech at a local trans shop test drive the vehicle with me in it and he confirmed the hard shifts. I want to note that this trans shop is known worldwide and custom builds transmissions and ships all over the world. Look them up "Level 10 Transmissions" Pat, the owner, said he was hopeful just a software issue and a need for a fluid service. Since it was the Wednesday before Thanksgiving, I had to wait to bring the truck in. I was able to get the truck in on Saturday December 13th. On Monday 12-15-25 I got a call from Pat that the transmission was damaged and would need to be rebuilt. I told him I needed to reach out to the dealer I would get back to him. I emailed Sean G. David H. and Sue O. immediately and said the trans was shot and I needed a call back right away so we could discuss. Multiple phone calls and messages, emails throughout the day with no response. I could not be without my vehicle for an unknown time, so I told Pat to proceed with the repairs later in the day and kept trying to get a call back. I called, emailed and left messages repeatedly over the next two days with no response. On Wednesday 12-17-2025 I finally got Sean G. on the phone. Still at this point never responded to an email. I sent in pictures, the service report and the invoice for $7,200.00. as I was told, sent copies of the Ford STB 22-2250, it was clearly visible the internal damage in the photos. Allegedly Sean G. put the paperwork together and reviewed with the owners. Now keep in mind my initial request was to discuss how we can resolve this. A few days later, according to Sean G the owners felt I did not give them an opportuni
