I personally spen However, I respectfully disagree with several points. First, Ford of Spring Hill did not secure the 47% adjustment on my behalf. I personally spent months communicating with Hankook, gathering records, following up repeatedly, and speaking directly with Hankook’s warranty department. The original offer was lower, and I was the one who pushed the matter further and obtained the 47% adjustment. Second, my concern was never asking Ford of Spring Hill to submit a false or improper warranty claim. My concern was that the dealership never clearly diagnosed or documented why all four original tires on a 2024 Ford F-150 Lariat PowerBoost wore out prematurely at approximately 27,000 miles. I repeatedly asked for an explanation. I never received a clear one. If there was no warrantable vehicle defect, then I should have been provided a clear written explanation of what was inspected, what was ruled out, and what caused the abnormal tire wear. Instead, I was left with vague answers and no meaningful documentation. Third, the issue of tire rotations is important. My vehicle was serviced by Ford dealerships, and I trusted Ford to properly maintain the truck. It now appears the tires were not always rotated as represented or required, which in my opinion contributed to the premature wear. That is a service issue, not just a tire manufacturer issue. Fourth, I was told by Claude “Sparky” that the replacement tires would be mounted and balanced at no charge. After weeks of emails, phone calls, and waiting, that promise was later withdrawn and described as a “one-time offer.” That is exactly why I advised future customers to get every promise in writing. Finally, my frustration is also with management. I called the General Manager’s office several times and left messages requesting a return call. I never received the courtesy of a phone call back. After months of frustration, I received only a cold email. This was not simply about tires. It was about communication, accountability, proper documentation, and standing behind a customer. I do not believe Ford of Spring Hill handled this matter in good faith from the customer’s perspective, and I stand by my review. More

Then we had to wait for the warranty company to come through with the transmission. That took two weeks. Then spring Hill forward tells me it's going to cost me $2,000 more to complete the job. I then took the car to a transmission outfit who fixed it for the same price minus the $2,000 More
