I purchased a 2018 Ford Escape from Texas Auto Center and have had a very frustrating and costly experience.
Within about a year of ownership, the vehicle has suffered two transmission failures. The first transmission was replaced, and the second failure occurred again, leaving the vehicle non-operable. I have paid over $12,000 in payments in roughly one year on this vehicle, yet I am now stuck without transportation.
Despite repeated mechanical failure, I was told the dealership would not rescind the sale, refund my money, or replace the vehicle, and instead offered only more repairs and additional financing. I made it clear I did not want further repairs due to lack of reliability, but my concerns were dismissed.
Communication has been inconsistent, and I was repeatedly directed to call different numbers rather than receiving clear written resolutions. I was forced to escalate the matter to the Texas Department of Motor Vehicles due to lack of meaningful assistance.
This situation has caused significant financial hardship, stress, and loss of transportation. Buyers should be very cautious and fully understand what protections they truly have before purchasing, especially with high-cost repairs and in-house financing.
I hope my experience helps others make an informed decision.
