Charles Gabus Ford responded

Thank you for taking the time to share your experience. We sincerely apologize for the frustration you went through, and we appreciate you recognizing Tanya's efforts. She truly worked hard on your behalf throughout this process. With over 355,000 miles on your Bronco Sport and this being its fourth transmission, we knew this would be a very complex repair. We performed the original transmission replacement, while the subsequent replacements were completed elsewhere before the vehicle returned to us. Regardless, we understand the inconvenience this caused and the level of service you expected from our team. Because this repair was covered under a Ford Motor Company warranty, many of the decisions—including repair authorization and replacement options—were outside of our direct control. Ford's initial authorization was to rebuild the existing transmission rather than replace it. Tanya worked tirelessly on your behalf and successfully convinced Ford to authorize a brand-new transmission instead because she believed it was the best long-term solution for you. We also understand your frustration with the backordered part and the amount of time your vehicle was down. We know being without your vehicle for an extended period is incredibly inconvenient, and we regret the delays that occurred. We're also disappointed to hear that you left feeling your concerns weren't handled professionally after the repair. That is never the experience we want any customer to have, and we appreciate you bringing it to our attention. Thank you again for your feedback and for acknowledging Tanya's dedication throughout this process. We truly wish you the very best moving forward.
